To be fair, I was a different man back then. I really saw myself wearing this out and about on a daily basis. I thought..... 'yeah, that's me - I'm that sort of person'. Turns out I wasn't.
It's midnight and I'm exhausted so you know what that means!.... Just did a psychometric test to find out which Star Trek TNG character I'm most like. The answer *may* surprise you....
I would literally cut off my own head to spend 7 years living with Lucy Liu. However there exists no parallel universe where someone like her could ever be truly happy with someone like me. And I suspect she would annoy me too after a while. With her yoghurt and whatnot.
Can someone please explain neoliberalism to me in a way my brain will be capable of easily digesting? Every time I try and read a definition I can't concentrate past the first few words. I search 'what is neoliberalism?' and the results read...
Neoliberalism is an ideology that postulates blah blah market-cap blah blah deregulation blah blah state intervention blah blah unprecedented era blah blah deregulation blah blah commerce
I secretly think noone really knows what it actually is. Like..... Ow! I just stubbed my toe! That is so neoliberalism.
I am thrilled to report that I am merging my two latest acquisitions - toast and coffee, and have valued them jointly this morning at eleventy bazillion pounds
Don't you hate it when you've had a shower and brushed your teeth, got your jammies on and have your bottle of water filled and get into bed and then realise you've forgotten to have your bedtime pasta
With all that is awful about everything I'm thrilled to report some people on Fedi are still able to surprise me with some of the mad things they're annoyed about
Lol. I don't mind this sort of thing! This is perfectly reasonable! I have a fork I despise. It's people who find fault in the innocuous. Like if someone says they like a picture of a flower and someone responds with something insane like...
'That flower is actually worse than Hitler because it's responsible for the near extinction of a slightly different native flower, like the invasive American signal crayfish, introduced to the UK for farming, now thriving in rivers and canals, outcompeting native white-clawed crayfish and carrying the deadly crayfish plague. Is that what you want? Crayfish Hitler? Is that what you want? The death of all plant life and river dwellers. You bastard!'
This wasn't a good example actually. It would have been easier for me to just say it was someone defending JD Vance by saying we shouldn't joke about him having sex with a sofa when he apparently actually didn't. Never mind it just being a bit of fun perpetrated against a person who is 89% lie - a person who is in effect sentencing people to death. I for one shall carry on making jokes about him. I don't think it goes far enough to say he had sex with a settee. I shall say he has sex with all furniture and is particularly fond of a wicker chair.
Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a heady mix of a serious responsible grown up man and a stupid man-baby idiot with delusions of grandeur. I'm a big nerd, really into music, cooking, books, films and scifi. I hate/love running and generally love being outdoors. 🌱He/Him📷 @TheBreadmonkeyWant to buy me a coffee? https://ko-fi.com/thebreadmonkeyPsst ...wanna see some toots?... https://justmytoots.com/@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party#fedi22
