  The blue light is a thing. And its not limited to toilets in supermarkets and hospitals. Ive seen them under some bridges as well.

  The issue though, like you said, is that most can find the vein by touch alone. And others are just so desperate, they try anyway. Giving exactly zero fucks about the blue light. Which has led some to question whether he blue lights are a good thing, or a bad idea thats going to eventually harm someone.

  But you do know that you can just not piss up against a wall, and just piss on the ground… right? Or better yet, make a game of it, and piss on the wall at different angles. You and your mates playing piss wars against the wall and trying to avoid each other splashback would be of interest to a lot of pissheads on the way home after finishing the kabab.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ANTI PEE PAINT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  We have them. Its just that a lot of us are such fucking degenerates that we piss and shit on the toilet seats and in the urinals that no one wants to go fucking near them. Others, have are filled with blue lights, so that all the junkies cant see their veins and shoot up somewhere else.

  Basically, we cant have nice things because some of us are just utter cunts. Some have been put behind a paywall, but people moaned about that as well. Basically, there are solutions, but nobody wants them because “what about the people who dont have money?”. And the answer “I guess they dont get to shit in the urinals!” is never a welcome one…

  Lol if a TV show touches you then you are the problem.

  What. The. Fuck. Are. You. Talking. About???

  I point out that people are calling other people racist and sexist and homophobic for not liking certain TV shows and movies, and you reply with that like its some sort of gotcha. WHY? It has nothing at all to do with what I said, or the point being made. So… what the fuck are you talking about???

  Nah dawg, I am. Just as much as I blame them, for you.

  Words do have meanings, thats why we use them. But they dont address every issue. Like hollywood, and social media morons claiming that not liking the latest star wars tv show, is racism and sexism. Its not that they were badly written, or badly acted, or anything else. No, it was sexism and racism. It wasnt, but now the damage is done, and sexism and racism are now just what people say when you dont like something that stars a black gay woman, and no one takes it seriously anymore.

  Overuse breeds cynicism and indifference, the very conditions in which authoritarianism thrives unnoticed. You claim fascism for every little thing that you dont agree with, and if/when real fascism comes along, no one is going to take it seriously when you sound the alarm, because you watered it the fuck down. You all spend your days, abusing the ever living fuck out of popular buzzwords, in the vain hope of getting worthless internet points because you said popular thing. And you never once consider the damage that you might have done, or continue to do.

  “Im so depressed” Something people used to say constantly when they were feeling a bit down, or bored. And what happened? People who were actually depressed were dismissed as being “dramatic”. Now everyone in the fucking world is claiming to be queer, or neurodivergent, or whatever other popular thing is out there. And its watered it all down and the people who are actually queer, who are actually neurodivergent, are harmed by its over use. They get dismissed as saying popular thing for upvotes and likes. That is actually HARM done by YOU, and people like you. Because you cant have a single original thought of your own, and can only copy and paste whatever other dog shit someone else said first that got likes and up arrows.

  Stop being a fucking sheep.

  You know, I often find myself coming at from the other direction. Trying not to take life too seriously, because after all in the end, nothing really matters. It matter now, of course. You and I sharing a conversation, matters. Well, as much as a conversion on a social media platform can without one or both of us showing our arseholes. But in the end, the very end, when theres no one left for us to have influenced. We… do that blade runner thing in the rain.

  When I was a boy I used to stay at my grandmothers a lot. And it was there that I had my first taste of existential dread. She had this painting of a ship, an old schooner or something(I dont actually know the names of types of ships, so we’ll just go with that). It was this ship and it was in the middle of the ocean at night and riding the waves of a storm. And for whatever reason I saw, not only myself in this image, but also the world as a whole. I couldnt really understand what my brain was telling me, but it freaked me out. Seeing this ship in this framed moment of being alone in an endless nothing, and battered by elements with no hope or land in sight. And if the ship sank, no one would ever know it was ever there. It would be lost to time. Our world is that ship. Its alone in the dark, and surrounded on all sides by terrors both known and unknown. And at any moment, it could be dragged down to the depths and never seen again and all that we ever were or ever could be would be lost.

  When got a bit older, and I found myself plagued by thoughts of embarrassment, as teenagers at want to do, I would remember that ship. And whatever it was that I wanted to do, I would do because as much as being in the storm terrified me, not steering into it and fighting for every moment would terrify me more. One day I will be at the bottom of that abyss, but right before that, Ill be on a bed. Ill be surrounded by family or I wont, and it will just be a loan nurse whose is tired of constantly fixing my pillows and hearing stories of when I was young, and you didnt need sun block factor 5000. And it will be that quiet moment that regret will get deafeningly loud. And while regret is just unavoidable, the absolute last thing I want to hear myself say is “I wish I had said something.”. Ill have a million “I wish I hadnt done that.”, and they will all be valid. But at least Ill know that it was the wrong thing, instead of always wondering what could have been. I think that if I took life more seriously, I might not have done anywhere near the amount of things that I did. And while they werent all winners, they were all brilliant moments of life. And as cringe as it can some times be to look back, it was always fun. Although, I probably could have done without seeing a middle aged man jumping out of a wardrobe in crotchless batman outfit… Id say never go home with strange older women in Brighton, but that would really undercut everything else I just said lol.

  Life really is terrifying. Which is why you really just have to shit yourself and jump in to get most out of it.

  ffs, you cant actually be that fucking monumentally dumb? You simply cant.

  Boomer, simp, incel, fascist, nazi etc are all buzzwords that people are using NOT AGAINST ME!!!

  I know you want to make it about me, cos your argument is that fucking dog shit. But Im talking about in general. Ie not me.

  My post comes across as whatever you want to be because youre cunt, who needs to defect from the fact you are one of the untold millions of utter pricks out there bullying anyone who doesnt suck your echo chamber cock.

  YOU are the problem. YOU are the reason people look to Trump and MAGA. YOU are the reason everything fucking sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one bright second⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to google that lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no doubt thats true. The problem is that people are complex and just because they support one thing, doesnt mean they support all things. Id bet if you asked most people in 2016 why the voted for Trump, most would say something about the state of politics and “draining the swamp” sounded like a good thing.

  I guess its up to you if you see a difference between not caring/not being aware and supporting. I suppose the end result is the same, but it might make a difference when you talk to them?

  I saw someone else post in here about talking to their dad about the someone being raided by ICE. The dad said “maybe they were criminals?” and the commenter then launched into a tirade swearing and abusing their own father. Now, maybe the dad was a big Trumper, I dont know. The comment didnt make it clear. But IMO, if you want to change peoples minds or open their eyes past what their own self interest, then calling them names is the wrong way to go. Its only going to force them to double down, and well, we already saw what happens then. We got another 4 years of Trump…

  Social media has really made it so that most of us, are just unfiltered mega cunts. We dont talk to people most of the time. We talk at them, looking for any kind of small mistake, so we can jump on them and abuse them. Looking at Reddit for example when Trump won, when Brexit happened, when Trump won again, and you can see the utter shock and surprise because the echo chamber convinced them that they were in the right, and everyone else was wrong. IMO, what happened was that anyone who supported Trump or Brexit was just shouted down, abused, called names. So no one ever took the time to explain to them why these things were bad. One of the worst things that ever became popular to say on line was “Its not my job to educate you!”.

  Maybe the poster you remember, wasnt being 100% honest. Maybe his parents became Trump supporters because they fell for his bullshit? Maybe they supported some idea of what he was saying(draining the swamp/lowering taxes/etc etc) and the other stuff they didnt know about or care about? We need to learn to talk to each other again, without being snarky, or cunty, or even just feeling attacked because someone disagrees with us. We need to get out of the habit of assuming the worst, and a lot more of us need to get out of the habit of taking out years of repressed anger from being bullied onto other social media users.

  Thanks for coming to my ted talk lol. Sorry about the long read. Have a great weekend!

  Want to live forever? Tough. Cos even if you could stop your body from growing old and dying, the planet is going to get too warm and nothing will be able to live on it. Then the sun will expand and destroy the planet. But even if you could leave the planet, theres no where close by to get too that wont have the same problems later on. But even if you could get to another solar system, same thing happens again. But then eventually the universe runs out of hydrogen and its fucked. Or the universe gets spread too thin, and its fucked. Or some fucking quantum field takes a shit, and creates a bubble of true vacuum that expands at the speed of light and everything’s fucked.

  Im fucked, youre fucked, the earth is fucked, the solar system is fucked, the galaxy is fucked, the local cluster is fucked, its all just fucked. One way or another. At some point nothing exists except an endless absence of anything. Not even nothing will exist…

  Then when someone close to me came out as trans, I didn’t even blink or feel weird about it.

  Calling bullshit on that, mate. Anything out of the ordinary, you are going to be curious about. People blink and feel weird when someone swaps playstation for xbox. If you had said that you didnt hate them just because, that would fine. But this “I totally didnt blink at something Im not used to” is a cheap virtue signal.

  I dont care who you are, or what the issue is. If some suddenly isnt who you thought they were in some way, youre going to blink. Youre going to have questions. Wanting to understand things isnt bad. And honestly utterly fucking sick of every single person on the internet pretending that they arent the same human being that the rest of us are. If nothing else, youd at the very least be worried about them because of all the stories you hear about shitty parents disowning their kids for being LGBT. But not you, you didnt even blink…

  Idiots have, but they werent as infectious as they are today.

  Boomer, used to just mean that someone was a baby boomer, born between 46 and 64. Then some woman said “OK Boomer” and that was the end of the that. All of sudden anyone not a younger end Gen Z was a “boomer”. You can see that going the other way too, with every cunt now under 40 being a “Millennial” usually with the word “snowflake” preceding it.

  Simp, incel, paedo, the list just goes on and on. We now live in a world where being 26 and dating a 24 year old makes you a paedophile… Are you shy? Must be an incel. Think some girl is cute? WhY YoU sUcH a SiMp???

  And now we have “fascist”. The buzzword of the moment, with everyone and their millennial granny inserting it into posts to get worthless internet points. Its already got to the point where we cant tell if someone really is a fascist, or if they just have a difference of opinion.

  Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air because of the things he said is fascism. But shooting Charlie Kirk to silence him, isnt fascism. That was a consequence of his actions

  vs

  Charlie Kirk being shot for the things he said is fascism. But taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for the things he said, isnt fascism. That was the consequence of his actions.

  Everywhere you go, people are making shit up to fit their narrative. And its all well and true to say “I know better”, but the point is that most other people dont. Or worse, do, but dont care. And that, dear reader, is the cause of so much of this culture war that now spills into real life, getting fucking morons like Trump elected not once, but twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 21-23-year-old dating or sleeping with an older person doesn't automatically make the 21-23-year-old a "victim".⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever a 21-23-year-old is dating or is having sex with men or women. 10, 15, or 20 years older than them, people on Reddit, TikTok, and X will claim the 21-23-year-olds are automatically “victims” of abuse or “paedophilia”

  Thats only because its the thing that gets upvotes/likes/etc. Its so bad, that now if youre over 26 and dating 25, people will call you a paedo because it will get them upvotes.

  The reality is that all sorts of people get together for all manner of reasons. And none of them are toxic, or abuse, or anything else. Social media isnt a place where real opinions are expressed. Its just a place where people say whatever grows their e dick. Doesnt matter what that thing is, only that it grows the e dick.

  2. The connection between the two, is that you’ve all gone so far off the reservation, you associate the image of a gun on poster for a light hearted action adventure movie as condoning violence. Or worse, removed it because it might be triggering to some people.

  No, that picture is pretty accurate. Im 48 years old. I live in Scotland, Im a left wing socialist. But to Americans, which is a fucking laugh considering they have no left wing party, Im pretty much a nazi. Even though, I havent moved my opinion on any issue in over 30 years.

  Social media has made you all insane. You dont have opinions of your own, you the endless chase for up arrows. At best you get your opinions for talking heads on youtube, telling what you think, what to feel about whatever fucking nonsense is making the rounds to get your engaged and clicking. Make no mistake, if being an actual nazi was the popular thing, youd all be doing it. Thats how fucking sad you are.
