The only centrism I care for or want is the perfect blend of grindcore and yacht rock.

He did, and to be honest that should really be clear just from the narrative, Tolkien being an early proponent of the idea that subtext is cowardice. What with Kemi's comments re Pratchett recently, you have to wonder what they read in the wizard lady's drivel.

What is it with fash nerds and their passion for fucking Tolkien? Varg, Elon, all these fucks have the most basic taste ever and don't appear to have read even that.

Fucking hell, imagine what they'd be like with access to something truly ropy, like "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant."

It does sort of make the right of the Labour party's position a bit more understandable, if no less solipsisticly flawed - they really *are* the sensible people in that room. Just no others.

Oh, so did I. Worlds of difference between 16 and 32.

(I'm sorry, I actually don't know and am uncontrollably oblique, which in this instance is even less helpful than usual)

'95 release A. Release B was a bit more chill.

I keep thinking I should get into Discord because I was so fond of IRC, but then I remember I used IRC for downloading files.

Fuck it, I have made a cup of the Nice Tea and am starting a rewatch of The Expanse. It's full of Rush references, you know.

Is this to do with the 1956 invasion of Hungary?

Translation: Putting people in military barracks is good, because it has connotations of prison, punishment, and control. But only if the barracks are remote and out of sight, with people properly concentrated and fully excluded from society.

Moving people from a hotel in the city centre to a military base, also in the city centre is likely to achieve... Nothing.

“Carrie is truly the scariest horror-movie monster I’ve ever seen,” Buckingham added. “I kept waiting in vain for someone to douse her in blood.”

Carrie? Autistic woman left terrified after watching horror movie called Sex and the City 2

An autistic woman who thought she was sitting down for a long-overdue viewing of the 1976 adaptation of Carrie - or at the very least, the 2013 version - has reportedly been left traumatised after acc...

In fairmess, I hate both far less than I hate threads about how the stupid provincials just Don't Get London because they Don't Get Numbers.

There were over 80 million lines of code in Windows XP and I hated it far less than I hate London. Really makes you fink.

Wanted, politicians. Must be presentable in a suit, utterly morally compromised and sundowning at all times. I hate it here.

Relentlessly laser-focused on delivering me into a nervous breakdown by consistently choosing not only the most inhumane and cruel option available, but absolutely the most stupid too.

Yes. And I don't know what you do with that.

Like I don't know if anyone has noticed, but This Thing Of Ours is actually the best thing ever and we get to do it every day. If the TL were full of happy girls vapidposting I would get it (and be delighted). But fuck no, those ants just long for the magnifying glass, apparently.

Black No. 1 🏴 @alannablack.com · 1d

Exactly, and honestly I don't even think it IS an op, I think people are really just that fractious and dumb.

Well, I was raised around various uniforms and it certainly left plenty of things for me to reckon with. However, this morning I am struggling to find fault in the idea "if you are a cunt, we will bully you until you fucking stop it."

I'm not even gonna joke about the transmed discourse, it's just infuriating at this point.

A friend mentioned a while ago re the "fash phase" horror that she was raised traditionally Tory.

It seems very unfair that every time the disk horse cycles, posters can just repost old threads but I have to keep thinking up new bad jokes.
