Too right. And hey, if the food has already been pre-chewed, that’s fewer calories I have to expend chewing it. And I get to neck off wiv a well fit bird or lad to boot, that’s a win-win innit

I do it because groceries are expensive and I like to try and pick bits of food off people’s teeth with my tongue. You’d be surprised at how much food is in there sometimes! Found a whole popcorn kernel in my boyfriend’s mouth just yesterday.

No, but that sounds really interesting. I’ve long been frustrated by rampant consumerism, and not just that but also by how blatantly companies will shaft consumers on quality, size, functionality… A laundry list of ways to make their products worse because it nets them a tiny saving per product which all adds up to a new megayacht. Nickle and diming bastards!

Agree, ban the spam

Okay great and this means… What? This reporting is gonna get MAGA people or Elon fans to suddenly realise it’s all lies? Will Elon or anyone involved with DOGE face any kind of consequence for failure? Will anything change in the face of this finding or is this yet another reminder that the rich are immune to consequence, and the willfully stupid and cruel are immune to evidence? Fantastic, happy fucking new year! 🥳

That’s fuckin awesome lol

Do security cameras pick up audio??

The government of Israel is intentionally conducting a horrific genocide of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children. I want to be absolutely crystal clear that I think it’s a crime against humanity and the perpetrators must be tried and any good court must convict.

I can’t get onboard with bloodthirsty statements about how “hopefully” a lot of Israeli civilians died. That’s just a personal thing for me, and the comment reads, to me, as hoping that civilians died.

I understand the sentiment that they’re settlers and occupiers, and I understand that they may have even held awful, incorrect, pro-colonialism opinions and had harmful beliefs, but personally for me I can’t get on board with sincerely hoping that unarmed civilians are murdered en masse.

Edit: sorry, yeah you’re right, it doesn’t read as “Jews” specifically and I understand that intentionally blurring the lines between Judaism and Israeli people is a zionist tactic. I apologise, I still think the statement is uncomfortable but you’re right in what you’ve said.

That is not how that comment reads to me.

Oh bore off.

Also this is definitely ragebait, why would anybody do this after Xmas day has already passed? 😂

The Borderlands, on the other hand, is a pretty good found footage horror that I’d definitely recommend

Wait, who’s the “people like that” in your middle paragraph? Is it “people who masquerade as Hitler online”, or “people who ask why”?

Yeah, you’re right. That would take it from a kid being a shithead, into something a lot more sinister.

What’s up with that weird answer? These creeps never give a straight answer when you ask them direct questions. If that person just wants to be edgy and thinks it’s funny… Well, maybe they’re a dumb, poorly socialised teenager. Cos it’s not funny. It’s not even a joke, really, is it? What’s the joke? That they’re not actually Hitler?

The halo and angel wings on the pfp take this to another level imo.

Oh it’s definitely Brummie, mm mm mmmmm

You can totally start now. Although, and maybe this is just a me thing, I’d feel like a massive bellend if I referred to something that happened in, for instance, 2021 as “in '21”.

I think I’d feel okay with “'01”, through to “'09”, then the teens feel weird again but only because it just feels weird to refer to a year as small as like… “'13”… although I don’t have that same problem with the naughties, maybe that’s because of the added “oh” making it seem like more than just a number? And then the twenties feel like big enough numbers to abbreviate but, yeah, again, I’d feel like a tool.

This is by far the most consistent I’ve been with strenuous exercise ever. I’ve tried before, but it never clicked for me; I always felt embarrassed, awkward, gangly, unfit, and just awful. I always walked a lot, so that kept me somewhat in shape, but I was deffo weak and my cardio was dogshit.

What changed for me was buying a small, cheap, simple set of dumbbells, and trying to do a routine I found on YouTube. I failed about halfway through, and the comments were full of people being like “I’m a 70 year old woman and these workouts keep me nice and spry” and I just thought, like… I’m a 28 year old man what the fuck am I doing if I can’t physically outwork a 70 year old woman (not to be sexist about it but just physically yknow). So I kept pushing until I could do that routine, and completing it felt really positive. So I kept going for that feeling, and eventually learnt to enjoy even how it feels to exercise, regardless of completing. I’m up to a five-minute plank now, aiming for fifteen one day, and working on other goals too.

You’ve got to find your own way into it. Or, just brute force it if you can do that. I am reticent to say just don’t do it, because we know what happens to people who never exercise.

I went through a rough breakup between June and August last year. At first, I drank and slept around. Then, I got sober. I’m sort of over it by now, genuinely, but the spark is gone. I don’t really want to see people, despite how badly I want to see people. I don’t know what to say. I feel sort of nonplussed about everything.

I work my ass off all day, come home, work out, eat right, work my ass off all evening, then when I’m done I play bass or guitar, paint miniatures, take photos, do little bits of graphic design practice, and fall into bed around midnight.

I’m lonely. I think I’m starting to accept that this is just how it’s gonna be for me, at least for now.

All that to say; it may be helpful to practice some genuine acceptance. When I’m feeling real beat up about being sad and lonely, I get my shoes on and go for a walk. No destination in mind, no matter the time of day. I put my earphones in, put on some sad music, and walk until I get sick of myself moping and just accept that yes, this is how it is. Then I’ll put on a podcast I enjoy, or something I can learn from, or I’ll just take the earphones out and enjoy nature as I walk back towards home.

Focus on yourself. Being lonely isn’t rare these days, but being completely alone gives you complete freedom. I’m fairly new to working out, but I’ve stuck to a relatively consistent schedule for four months or so and my body looks and feels so much better. I’m working on my pull-up and dead hang form at the moment, and I’m finding it really tough but really rewarding. I’m on week 2 of 100 push-ups per day, and seeing my body go from barely being able to do 15 in a set, to almost doing 30 in a set, has been really fun! You don’t get the opportunity to be selfish with your time without guilt very often in life, and if you’re gonna be alone anyway you may as well make the most of it.

Those are proactive things that take effort, but for an easier suggestion: avoid YouTube. Avoid Netflix. Avoid TV or streaming. Don’t sit there and wallow. If you’re gonna wallow, get up and move while you’re wallowing. No point letting your body and mind feel shitty at the same time. I sold my TV and my PS5. I sold my sofa. My lounge is now a desk, my hobby stuff, and a radio. I feel productive. I feel great. I feel so fucking earth-shatteringly bored that I have to do something, rather than just sitting on my ass watching shit I don’t even care about.

I wish you the best my friend ✌️

Oh! Also! Get a bit weird with it. I grew my hair out for seven years, but I trimmed it earlier this year, then shaved it all off after getting sober. Just recently, I shaved it into a mohawk, and a couple of weeks ago I shaved designs into the sides of my head. Whether it looks good or not isn’t the point; the point is about reclaiming your self expression, and enjoying your selfish experience. Be self centered. Be protective of your time. Be expressive. Do what you want. Say what you want. Spend how you want. Sell your sofa. Paint your walls. Do something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t because you’ve felt self-conscious. If you’re feeling invisible at the moment, make the most of it. I started baking recently, too. Totally blew my calorie budget for the day but I ate a whole loaf of chocolate chip banana bread and honestly it was worth it.

Well, whatever floats your boat; but I think it’s probably not worth your time dude. I’m sorry that somebody made you feel bad for doing something good, have a good eve ✌️

It seems like you’ve really got twisted up over somebody making you feel bad. I’d let it go, if I were you. You’ll only wind yourself up more.
