As a European, I knew Americans have been asking for walkable cities but i had no idea it was literally this hostile

WHERE DO YOU WALK YOUR DOGS!?!

lol yeah

what-even-is-thiss

Its to the point where most Americans can’t conceive of a walkable community because everywhere is like this and several generations have now grown up in a world like this. There’s hardly anyone that can conceive of a world that isn’t like this. Most people either cave in and get a car or end up isolated. I live in a city that’s mostly walkable by North American standards and I still end up walking in the dirt on the edge of a stroad a lot of the time.

And don't forget, we can't get decent public transportation either.

Every time I hear the Americans argue that they can’t conceive of a cycling infrastructure because there are more hills in America than in the Netherlands or Denmark. And well sorry but that argument never seems convincing every time I glance over at my mother’s Swiss-manufactured bicycle she rode every day to university as a teenager in 1970s Switzerland.

It's not autism that makes this person hate seeing a woman's tits. It's just internalized misogyny. Autism doesn't make you act like a disgusting freak over the sight of a woman's skin- that's cultural. That's learned. Unlearn it please.

AAA video game publisher voice: "Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose."

#‘that goose keeps laying golden eggs. that’s stagnation. I’m going to kill it and go look for a goose that lays diamond eggs’#‘that goose normally lays golden eggs but this time it laid a silver egg. I’m going to kill it because even though I can still make good#money with that it’s not as good as a golden egg’#‘that golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don’t care that golden eggs take time#if they’re not constant the goose is worthless to me’

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks following this result and it will empower reform voters

invisible-goats

and now he has to actually face the enquiry he was trying to avoid

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys

That is a much higher voteshare to Binface than we expected, and much lower to both Reclaim and British Democratic Party, lol.

All round, though, it doesn't look good for Farage. It was a sham one-party election, so he can't play the "See? No one cares about my multimillion pound bribes, they still voted me in" card he was banking on. His only competition was a bin, and the bin actually did well. Meanwhile, as Goats says, he's now subject to the enquiry he tried to avoid.

He played a strategy that was supposed to be win-win, but the other major parties totally hamstrung it. And, credit where credit's due, the idea for the others to not stand this time was an absolutely genius move that, in fact, came from the static TV screen of a brain that belongs to, of all people, Kemi fucking Badenoch. Stopped clocks and that.

Meanwhile, polling shows Farage has actually lost a LOT of his voter base and support from the bribe thing. Again - even Kemi Badenoch is able to go "Hardly the man of the working class like he claims". So... Yeah. As OP says - interesting next few weeks coming

Pretty embarrassing as well that Farage’s excuse for not attending announcement of the results was that the police had told him there was a credible threat to his safety (as opposed to the real reason, which is that it’s pretty difficult to do a rousing victory speech when what you did was get more votes than a man with a bin on his head) and then a couple of hours later the local police come out with ‘yeah we definitely didn’t do that’.

Southerners really went off with “y’all” and the Brits really went off with “innit” but most of all the Aussies really went off with calling everyone cunts all the time

my mom just came to me and ranted about how everyone is making this facebook status that says, “raising teenagers is like nailing jello to a tree”. she was so baffled by this because she said, “you were pretty easy to raise as teenagers. all you did was sleep and eat.”

so to prove some point she’s going to nail a small cup of jello to a tree.

beeshibe

she’s so pleased with her self

incredible

parents are weird

voidbat

yeah but this is about as accurate as it gets.

you say “nail jello to a tree” and most people think jello all by itself.

but if you put any actual thought into what you’re doing and then give it just a little support

well gosh. look what happens.

please tell your mom good job.

margaretssmallworld

also love how the original metaphor of “nailing jello to a tree” is about trying to force your bizarre and arbitrary will on something that is categorically disinclined to do such a thing, for no conceivable reason.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

sometimes I have to stop myself from posting shit like "who made replacing a bike chain so erotic" because I remember the number of people who see my posts and I have to take a step back and reconsider my choices. sometimes I have to hide my true and sincere thoughts in a post about how I'm not posting them because it is funnier this way

whatever. it's just reaching between all its delicate parts to wrench out its guts with lots of sweating and straining. while it's upside down and immobilised. and then it's just taking the slick and shiny new chain and feeding it gently through gears and between metal before pulling it taut until the derailleur is extended and the chain clicks into place and can no longer be removed. I; think I'm bicycle. I mean bisexual
