#FND Lightweight socialist who only uses an anonymous avatar because he's not too photogenic, and would rather laugh than do politics. However, if politics is your thing... (Also, Owen Dirkshift isn't my real name.)

I gotta be honest. I didn't know it was vinyl and can't read any of it!
But I'm glad it confused him !

If you remove the bullshit and blatant lies that he's told over the years, this is what's left ➡️

And...😤

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 14h

He can always leave! We did, and it didn't do us any harm!

When they say "Non UK citizens", to whom are they referring?
Foreigners living in the UK, or Brits living in Spain? Both fit!
Referencing the former will be a lie, the latter, perfectly legal and morally justified.
My money is on the latter, but knowing full well that it will be misunderstood.

Is it now pronounced AAN-TÊÊ-FUH instead of ANTI-FÂH to give it a modern feel, and remove the emphasis of the word *FAscism*.

Either way, I'm going back to the old way, if you don't mind. Especially as Fartage has started using the word.

Antifartage - Much more descriptive...

Sense at last.

Anyone killed?

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

If a bloke wants to take on the responsibility, then let him be a single parent, but be warned, I did that and it damn near killed me. My daughter is 46 now, and lovely, but I wouldn't wish the job on anyone! Least of all any man - we're just not mentally equipped to deal with it easily.

Look you daft sod, it's the woman who has to grow the child, it's the woman that takes the physical and medical risks, and it's the women that has to deal with it for, maybe, twenty years. Of course it's her choice, not his! And so it should be.

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

Make your mind up. It's either they are forced to be fathers or they're forced not to be fathers! You're not making sense. Or it's both, and to be honest, most men don't give a shit anyway, and take things as they come, leaving it to their partners to pick up the child and run with it.

You're right, but the risks are only financial, and who gives a shit about those during that particular 3 minutes!

It's true though. I changed banks because of that. I'm with one that doesn't have any robot options. And they answer the call within about 8 rings, 24/7. And when they do answer, they have the knowledge and experience to solve whatever the problem is. Never failed yet...

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

No. 634 of things that never happened...

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

Aww, I liked her...missed already.

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

And today, I pranged the car. 6 months old, and the front's all gone to fuck.

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, it's not as if they are on different pages, is it! Book ends!

My general thought about the next several years is that many people are going to need to grow a spine real fucking quick if we want to still have a democratic society

There has to be a "cure" for FND. There just had to be. I'm screaming inside, and I can't live my life like this anymore...

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

It's like reading PooTins postings...

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

Anyone up for a bit of snoggling?

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

One day he will be gone.
You know to whom I'm referring, don't you?

Owen Dirkshift @owendirkshift.bsky.social · 1d

I hate to say "and me" but I agree. I gave them the benefit of the doubt when the Tories were in power, because, contrary to popular belief, the BBC has always
been a government propaganda tool, (that's what it was set up for), and assumed it would go left wing once labour won. Still labour bashing!
