I think you’re correct that (some / many) people see the tiniest chink in your armour and go for the juggler (jugular vein - clown 🤡 joke) to compound your misery to make themselves feel/look “strong”.
And, yes, in abusive relationships I believe a husband is more likely to hurt and damage his wife with his fists whereas a wife would be more likely to hurt and damage her husband with words - generally speaking. It’s tragic either way…
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 4 weeks ago:
So, purely hypothetically, you would be fine with a curator deleting / omitting a fact because it goes against the narrative they are driving?
Interesting… personally I’d before to read a truth I disliked than to continue believing erroneous information; but that’s just me.

I remember trying to listen to Radio Caroline under my duvet on an am portable radio as a kid. This film is loosely based on their story. Great cast. Absolute junk film - one of only four films (in any language) I’ve ever switched off before the end… but that’s just my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.

Would you agree that banning/censoring is a form of suppression rather than oppression?
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve thought about this a lot myself. I’m 12-15 friends/acquaintances down due to them deciding to step out of life in their twenties or thirties. On paper none of them seemed to be in too bad a way and yet…
There’s obviously the problem that having and discussing emotions is for girls and gays only (/s), but there must be more to it than that.
I think there’s an expectation (where I live) that men should be strong and stoic at all times - but, honestly, many of us are fragile little flowers, some of the time, but it’s seen (erroneously) as weakness.
In my experience most men are happy to talk about: “big screen tv’s, blunts, 40’s and bitches” to NSFW quote
but they can’t open up about emotions and feelings.

And I thank you for reading it.
Just to clarify my GBNews comment - they employ current and past Conservative politicians as show anchors so their impartiality is immediately compromised. It’s often seen as Fox News UK in that respect.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 4 weeks ago:
Damn. I never thought I’d click on GBNews (I feel like I need to disinfect my handset now.)
To quote their final paragraph:
“There is a precedent for local authorities delivering successful independent inquiries into the grooming gangs scandal, such as in Rotherham and Telford, where thousands of victims were identified after decades of abuse were ignored by the authorities.”
Whilst, yes, the government should be running the Home Office in reality the Civil Service runs the Home Office.
Another, older, article with a decent précis of what has gone on before:
As always, the whole truth is way too complicated to sum up in headlines and soundbites.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 4 weeks ago:
a.) A political party would not investigate under UK law.
b.) She was of the opinion that the council in question (Oldham?) should lead any investigation.
So Labour Party says local council should conduct (the first?) investigation of the horrific events that have and are going down. Headline makes it sound that Labour are happy to ignore child rape.
Disclaimer: imo both Labour and Conservative parties are packed with career politicians and probably don’t have five statesmen (statespeople?) amongst them. They are both as bad as each other and are a disgrace.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 4 weeks ago:
This headline is inaccurate, but I guess you don’t care… plus a certain other party were the ones in power until very recently and (checks notes) instigated zero investigations but now they’re in opposition they’ve changed their tune.

I think he was Dutch - but they do tend to speak “better” English than the English.
The difference in UK/US (amongst other first language English nations) pronunciation is something I know effects hip-hop lyricism (i.e. rapping) as different pronunciations mean some words only rhyme in your own dialect.

- Comment on is that real? 2 months ago:
That’s certainly one opinion - which you’re more than entitled to hold. Personally I don’t get the connotations that you do. I see it as a subversion of Musk’s overt sycophancy vis a vis Trump’s (completely unwarranted) strong man persona clothed in a parody of a TradCon nuclear family. It’s art - there’s often more than one interpretation. Sometimes deliberately so.

I’ve lived in London a couple of times and always assumed Aberdeen Angus Steakhouses were a money laundering operation or a front for other criminal enterprises. There seemed to be lots of places and very few customers.

“poorly designed” is perhaps the weirdest complaint I’ve ever heard about London - those pesky Romans should’ve had a better vision for the city rather than the jumbled mess we have 2,000 years later.

No. I think .ml is becoming some kind of bogey man. At the end of the day I think any instance is gonna have its own slant and bias; which isn’t a problem for me, personally.

Generally, yeah. Your initials and family name - of the account payer only. First line of your address. I think the Terminator film, amongst others, shows this being used to locate someone.
- Comment on We met at a bar 4 months ago:
If a shitpost ever does meet your values I’d suggest getting some new values. It’s meant to be of trollishy poor value. That’s the entire point of shitposting. Why complain about it in a place specifically brought into being for the sole purpose of shitposting? It’s almost like they don’t understand the point.
- Comment on We met at a bar 4 months ago:
It’s just sad. All this manufactured outrage at a deliberately spicy meme. Do people go to watch a horror movie and complain they got scared? No. You’d be an idiot for complaining.

Imagine actually being offended by a clearly marked shitpost in a clearly marked shitposting community - the complete lack of critical thinking it entails blows my mind.
- Comment on We met at a bar 4 months ago:
You, uh, do know what shitposting is? This kinda ticks the boxes required to be one; so seems to be in its natural habitat.

I’d like to tell you - but you might find the truth hard to swallow.
