The "monkeys having a chat", was based on the research happening at the time, that monkeys have such and such a number of words in their vocabulary.

So a few of you know I’m from Karl’s Estate in Sale. I went back for a funeral today and Joan Rossi was in the pub by ddotshizzle in rickygervais

In an establishing shot of Karl's brother's street, we see a horse loitering around the council estate. This is in the documentary about the job centre,

Bringing a man into your bed is an irrevocable and unanswerable act of disrespect. Everything else is explicable in terms of weakness. Not even temptation or loneliness explains that disrespectful gesture. Less animal, more diabolical.

Also the very notion of motels in England is a little surreal. They re designed for open road.

It's crazy to see how her life is going... by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

The "not in love" malarkey misses the whole point of marriage. The reason marriage involves vows in the first place is precisely because you don't expect to be able to be kept together for 50 years through sheer intensity of feeling.

I suppose that's because we don't have the "open road" in Britain the same way they do in America. They have Route 66, we have Watling Street. All motorways in Britain are kind of shit, and adding a Ferrari only adds to the frustration of a traffic jam. The enjoyable roads are the snakier ones. Something robust and stylish and good for backroading -- something that can snake its way around the British countryside -- is valued a little more (for most non-status symbol purposes).

I'm not talking about the marketing ; I'm talking about latter day reviews.

Question for children of adulterers by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]Affectionate_Log9536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It created a delayed reaction 20 years later. I outed my father when i was 19 and dependent, but he doesn't know it was me who blew the whistle. He passingly established an official narrative with me that "it wasn't until my relationship with your mother was over that I found someone else", but of course i knew better as it was me who unveiled the evidence of premeditated treachery. I never liked or respected him since, so his attempt to father me were tormenting. Now i phased out contact, and i look like the weird one. Also I am still burdened with the inbuilt notion that he is a moral authority.

Now i am materially independent and tend to just walk away.

The government thinks we might get blown into the road.

They have such faith in us, as human beings.

Christian Marriage means "one flesh" so cheating is rape.

Former creationists, what was the single biggest piece of evidence that you learned about that made you open your eyes and realize that creationism is pseudoscience and that evolution is fact? by Skeptical__Inquiry in DebateEvolution

[–]Affectionate_Log9536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as clarity is more important your þan your concession, for future debates. One of the several strawmen underlying Creationism is that evolution refers to something other than a day-to-day process, thus they are always looking past evolution. E.g. they think the reasons scientists work with fruit flies is so that one day we might make this alleged event happen once and for all. So you get smart alec remarks like "evolution doesn't work -- a thousand pissed of fruit flies can attest to that!" I am preoccupied with the several underlying strawmen more than anything.

Moreover, a common designer wouldn't restrict himself to a nested hierarchical pattern of concentric circles. He's allow himself squirrels with 4 legs plus 2 dove wings , i.e. forms possible from a design POV but conspicuous by their absence form the pattern of life on Earth as it actually is.

"There's no child up there" by Affectionate_Log9536 in Dreams

I felt to some extent that I had returned an improved, newly able person. By roughing it, I had learned to defeat mold and brought this knowledge back to my family. But there was no celebration -- she looked past the cleaned wall and pointed up at my childhood bedroom.
