So many people don't seem to understand that you can use a date to plan a night you think will be fun, not only will you enjoy it but it's a great way of filtering out people you won't vibe with. It doesn't have to be a job interview over drinks and a meal!

This guy is in his 50's btw if you search far enough you can see him post pics of himself, he's just using a much younger person as his pfp, you can put the rest together yourself

You should include their tweets showing pics of themselves, turns out this guy is like 50 and is using a pic of someone much younger for "some reason"

He seems cool idk

User "satisfaction" has been the tired old excuse for privatising state infrastructure since day dot. They generate a lot of furore about the quality of service delivered, use that to justify privatising it, then once it's privatised they suddenly stop caring about the quality of service.

I know this sounds like one of those annoying "it's the patient's fault!" anecdotes but a workmate had to go to A&E lately and apparently they were sat next to an old guy who was complaining about the quality of free sandwiches that were being given out, lmao

Shut up you whingeing cunt

I know political corruption and incompetence are not new, but one of the most annoying features of this hyper-individualised and internet-addled moment is people in positions of power casting themselves as victims for being exposed to the demands they were elected to listen to

Hell yeah we're doing Good Tsar, Bad Boyars but for a pack of reptilian briefcase wankers

No systemic problems to be solved, not even greater penalties for men who commit acts of sexual assault, but a ridiculous pretence that this is an immutable state of affairs that can never be changed. All this just to attack trans women!!

As a cis bloke I'm not at all the priority here, but I feel it's often worth saying how deranged the TERF worldview is for *everyone else* too. Their idea of cis men is that we're all just physically invulnerable rapists-in-waiting, and that this is just *how the world has to be*

Somewhat off topic but playing mixed sex roller derby (an intensely physical contact sport roughly like playing rugby on skates) has really underlined for me how much our social perception of men as being a different category of strength to women is an ideological construct reinforced by separation.

Naive and priveleged of me to only have this realisation *now* but this is not unlike the kind of stories you get in books about how appalling the jim crow south was

We're going to see just how far he can stretch this "arthouse blockbuster" schtick before it collapses entirely

I'm wondering how much of this is labour trying to use McSweeney as a sin eater? Deflect labour's unpopular policies to him, oust him, and hope the party's dogshit leadership can keep this horrorshow running?

Uh oh

RDR2 sucked absolute shit

I know we're kind of used to it at this point, especially from the right, but the amount of just outright hate speech you're allowed to just throw around about muslims in the US is fucking unreal

No-one wants to work anymore

I assume we're defining "anti-semitism" as "being a Muslim in public" huh

I am very obviously trying

Go easy I genuinely think he's just kinda dim

🎶 And it's worse, inside as well 🎶

(supportively) the gender-affirming care will continue until morale improves

You're the one suggesting Jewish people worldwide's "homeland" is some middle-eastern colony most of them have no real connection to, that seems pretty hitler-esque to me pal

It just further raises the question of "why is Jyn the main character?"

Andor being good and fleshing out her co-star's character has only driven home how easily you could delete her from the film entirely. Even her relationship to Galen isn't required for the plot to happen. She's like a fanfic character that got inserted into an otherwise finished movie
