1.2 million as of now. So fucking proud to be European.

That’s the real answer. Always check on whose payroll somebody is.

Nah. Just let it rip.You’ll have to get used to each other’s farts eventually. Might as well get it over with right on the first date.

Funny, that movie was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down” in English.

Well, as they say, if you put a clown on the throne, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus.

From the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be about Al Bundy.

Soooo… They don’t have any externally visible genitals, do they?

I knew about “youse”, but who or what is “yourse?”

My dad treated me like a boxing bag for the slightest transgression.
I once squatted for an entire night. Squatted. Because at dusk, I was gaming in the middle of a room with a very creaky floor and then darkness fell. I was expected to be in my own room, and now I was trapped. Had to turn off the console as to not make any noise or quick movement.
Had my parents found out, they’d have flat out killed me, and that’s not an exaggeration.
Oh, and apart from the constant physical and mental abuse, I was never allowed to leave the house except for going to school, and couldn’t make any phone call exceeding one minute.
I got out of it eventually, but it took a lot of healing. My siblings’ lives are still completely ruined, though.

I’ve talked to a lot of people from all walks of life, and I’ve come to realize that one of the main things that sets people apart in adulthood is whether they were loved as kids.

They: Yeah I didn’t always get along with my parents.
Me: So… how often did they beat you up?
They: Oh no, they never beat me. But my mother criticized me a lot, and my dad moped, sometimes.
Me: :-|
They: I’m kinda traumatized from all this.
Me: So… where did you spend last Christmas?
They: Well, among other things, I visited my parents, of course.
Me (who has cut of all communication for many years): o_O

Deregulation, ain’t it great.

Also, how do you pronounce ‘stingy’… ‘Raphael’…

Important distinction
It’s called pump-and-dump, by the way.

Oh, that’s what the old Facepunch forum evolved into, right? Yeah, that was a really nice place when I last visited, but that was years ago. I just felt like I had grown out of it.

We all found our way to Lemmy, and we can start building from here.

Guns.

Strange how the most recent ESC almost convinced us of the opposite.

Oooh, so that’s what the title of the song “Itchycoo Park” means. I used to think it was an awful sexual reference.

Reminder that any sort of workplace surveillance is outright illegal in some EU countries. It could even be considered a criminal act.

Why does the giant bird have no plumage?
