It gets ripped down too quickly if I put it below! You can see the old cable ties from when I made that mistake.

I am SHOCKED that the patriots who hung the Union Flag did not respect proper flag protocol.

I’ve always been pretty neutral on the ground/first floor thing, but you’ve just convinced me! I am now a firm believer of ground floor superiority

I raised some pride flags next to the flags around my area. It really kills the racist message. Somebody else has also gone round attaching a “No hate” sign to the bottoms of every flagged lamppost.

Eclipse as in the IDE? This is some good unhinged conspiracy post, please explain more

No worries, here’s some context on the lamppost thing if you’re interested

The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don’t know that, hence half of them being upside down.

To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it’s slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you’re at the top of a ladder.

I hated that he turned down the remote at the end. I get that it’s the message of the film, don’t fast-forward your life etc, but it had so many other cool features!

Take the remote, disable the FF button, enjoy being a time lord!

This was definitely #1 on my “why doesn’t it have this” list. In fact it was the only thing on the list! Always felt so stupid leaving it on and plugged in to update. Especially when it goes into standby before finishing.

One time my buddy had sex with a girl he was seeing on my sofa. I just thought meh, I’ll clean the cushions, no big deal. My wife was pissed about it being on the sofa so she posted it on Reddit.

The Reddit response was fucking insane. We had a threesome. I watched it. I orchestrated the entire thing. My buddy wasn’t even there and I was just cheating on my wife. Somebody posted detailed advice on how to hide secret cameras around the house to catch me next time I’m cheating.

These aren’t cherry-picked, they were 95% of the responses. Those people don’t want to give relationship advice. They want drama.

I know, and in theory I agree with you, but no way am I dying on that hill. I personally say “Mega paedo” to distinguish the Ian Watkinses from the Adam Johnsons.

On the opposite end of the scale, I enjoy that Steven Seagal manages to make films with extremely generic names that still manage to be incorrect. Contract to Kill contained no contracts whatsoever. A Good Man didn’t feature a single positive male role model. Nobody was pistol whipped in Pistol Whipped. Submerged technically did have a submarine segment but it was only about 5% of the film.

I guess Shitty Action Film Starring Out-Of-Shape Psychopathic Pedo doesn’t market too well

Ah, I get ya. I was close!

Never heard it before. Maybe they’re trying to make a metaphor, like an acoustic guitar = basic, electric guitar = smart. Maybe mistranslation.

If you’re an old man and you fuck teenagers you’re gonna get called a pedo. Don’t get technical, it’ll make you look like a pedo too.

(not including the ones who do it to get their £1 coin back)

I never noticed the chlorine in tap water until I went on holiday somewhere that didn’t chlorinate their water supply. When I got back, my water absolutely reeked of chlorine. Just one of those things you get used to I suppose.

Oh yeah I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you’re comfortable with all your colleagues!

Exactly, it’s my own version of teaching cyber security!

I recently set somebody’s homepage to meatspin.com and they snitched on me to the boss because they were worried they’d get pulled up for visiting NSFW websites. The boss just said “Why was your PC unlocked?”

If a coworker leaves their pc unlocked near me I like to click the phishing emails so they have to do the course. Tee hee!

Don’t start
