For these quick jobs where you just have to momentarily commit and you can’t give up once you’ve started (when they’ve answered the phone) I’ve got the mental gymnastics pretty well down.

It’s kind of like when you need to get into a cold swimming pool. I just go to the deep end and block out that it’s going to be horrible and think about nothing else than the act of making my body jump in. Once you’re flying through the air it doesn’t matter what you think because you’re going in

I’m keeping an eye on Mr Tumble, protégé of Philip Schofield.

People who laugh at beans on toast haven’t tried beans on toast. At least not with English baked beans.

I’ve seen this reference so many times, can someone explain it?

It’s crazy that the “I’m feeling lucky” button still exists, I probably haven’t clicked it in 20 years (though I’ve been using DDG for like the last five).

There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).

This is for the best, there would have been even no end of trouble if he wasn’t able to run for election because he was sent to jail or whatever.

It looks like Trump is almost certainly going to lose the election and when he does he’s going to jail. It’ll make November even more fun.

Fedora is a great game for the price of the game and the game is great for the price and the game itself is great for the game.

That kid knows exactly what he’s doing. Bravo I say.

Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

I use light mode because I’m not a goth.

These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

I honestly think I’d rather shit myself while farting than piss myself. If you shit yourself you can hide it and clean up. If you piss yourself everyone can see.

I don’t fucking care, I want woolly mammoths and dodos.

I knew a guy from Guinea Bissau and they learnt English by watching the Tweenies.

I really tried to enjoy the first series but four episodes in it was just a chore to watch and I didn’t know what was going on or care about any of the characters. It just couldn’t keep my interest.

I read only 30% of people who watched the first series completed it and it’s the reason we now have ads in Prime. They signed a contract to do three series of it.

Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.

It says this was announced along with Prey 2. Wouldn’t that imply that this is a sequel to one of those shitty Predator films that nobody watched, not Prey?

I don’t think centrists are against socialised health care.
