A word is watered down when it is used to describe anything and everything. And in case you missed it, we are surrounded by idiots being idiots and doing just that.

But it has been watered down. Its been watered down by all the culture war weirdos who claim everyone who doesnt agree with them, is a nazi and fascist. And its not just the left aiming at the right, its fucking everyone. Dont like video game? You must be a fascist. Dont like a movie? You must be a nazi!
Its like “paedo”. That one lost all meaning as well. Even going so far as to label dating 25 year olds “paedo behaviour”. Social media, if it does nothing else, totally ruins the meaning of words in favour of gaining worthless internet up arrows by saying popular thing over and over and over and over again.

Ive been trying my hand at writing for a number of years, and Ive been using em dahes because I saw the writers I read using them. Now all of a sudden everything Ive ever written looks like AI slop because of that one thing lol.

I call those women… never. Had a girl turn up with a friend, everyone paid for their own drinks. And this was in the early 00s.

Last time a chick brought a friend with her, I got on better with the friend… And I went home with the friend. Pro tip, if youre bringing a friend. Dont make it a friend thats better to talk to than you are.

Me: “Hi, is Sarah there?” Her mum, voice away from the phone: “Oh, Sarah. Its a boy for you. Is this your new boyfriend?” Sarah in the back ground: “Mum, stop. I’ll take it up stairs.” Her dad: “Hello, who is this?” Me: "Eh, hello. This is Benny. Im phoning for Sarah. Her Dad: "What you phoning her for? Me: "Eh… Sarah in the nick of time: “DAD!!! HANG UP THE PHONE!!!”
Or after going out for a few weeks/months
Me: “Hi, Its Benny. Its Sarah there?” Her Dad: “Hold on.” Her Dad in the background with zero attempt to cover the mouth piece: “Sarah, that wee pricks on the phone for you again.” lol
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
You said world, but I assume you meant internet. Social media is hate and fear factory. Main stream media went that way as well. Which in turn affected American politics, and is now doing the same elsewhere. Meanwhile, in the real world, everyone is just being normal. Having fun with friends, moaning about the weather, looking forward to holidays, or movies, or parties, or whatever. Its all very normal when you turn off the hate machine.

Look at everything, never limit your information diet to things that back up your opinion. Challenge everything. If its true, it will hold up to scrutiny. If its bullshit, you’ll find a fuck load of people calling you an asshole, but never explaining why.

What do you think I meant with “brand name”? You do realise that Tylenol is a brand, and not the actual drug, right?

Yeah, but hes the gayest in the way that kids used to say it in the 00s…

No, you see he said “asseattomanefin” first. So, its totally fine…
- Comment on proof of wormholes 1 week ago:
Paracetamol, what you lot call acetaminophen, was first synthesized in 1877(or maybe much earlier in 1853). It wasnt widely used until the 1950s. Tylenol is a brand name that means fuck all to any conversation.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
No, you do have that choice. You just dont like that choice. Fuck your other comment. Its bullshit. You just want something you cant have, like the other cunt acting like hes superior to anyone else cos “he knows better”. If you dont like what apple does, DO NOT BUT IT! Stop trying to get governments to do your dirty work for you.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
I didnt say that. You did.
I said viruses and malware, because thats the language that most people can readily identify. You, being the spoon eating cunt that you are, decided to go all big brain bob. Trying to look like an intellectual, but in the end just looking like your typical pedantic reddit user. All blow, no suck. The only L here is you, and I wouldnt take that if you fucking paid me.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
Virus are a subgroup of malware you fucking spoon. All viruses are malware, but not all malware are viruses. I suppose I should have listed off all types of Malware just to keep the pedantic among us satisfied

Its not a monopoly, moron. Or is xbox a monopoly as well? What about playstation? and Switch? Are they all monopolies as well? Jesus…
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
lol Yeah, dont talk utter shit. Apple “just works”. Thats what most people want. They dont want an open platform, full of viruses, malware, and every other fucking thing that makes running windows a pain in the arse. The utter state of you “I know better than all the simpletons”. Could you be any more up your own smelly arse?
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
Yes, the issue wasnt apple or android. The issue was support for various app makers. I LOVED windows phone.
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
But the consumer does have a choice. They have the choice not to buy apple. Right? Its not like they hide this fact. You know what you are buying into.
“I get to do whatever I want” not according to the Ts&Cs you agreed to when you turned the phone on. Again, you knew what you were getting into. So why are trying to force someone else to do something, when its perfectly reasonable that you just dont buy the thing that doesnt suit your needs?
- Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators 1 week ago:
but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals.
I kinda have to say “so?”. Its apples phone, apples software, etc etc etc. Why should they allow others onto their store? If they want to, great. But why should they before forced to? Its not like its a monopoly, anyone else is free to make their own phone and software at any time. I dont really get this idea that apple has to let other people into its house, or that that if they did it would make things better.
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 2 weeks ago:
Grace Kelly said something similar years ago: “Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality.”. We have all known this for decades. The sleazy hollywood rapist was a thing long before Harvey was outed. They all knew, and yet they all kept their mouths shut.
This is why its always been so perplexing to me that so much of society looks to hollywood for its morality lessons.
