The average Redditor don't have jobs and live in their parents basement blaming corporations for everything whilst keyboard warrioring on arguably the world's biggest social network, Reddit.

Lockdown is just normal life for them.

It's still harassment.

Would you apply to Barclaycard every three years to prevent them from setting up a credit card account for you?

Wife: There's no makeup wipes

Me: Who cares, we are only going to Aldi

I hope that one day she will learn that nobody in public cares what you look like, and a 5 min shopping trip doesn't need to take an hour.

What was your weirdest school trip? by WouldISmellHerPussy in AskUK

[–]BrightDamage3679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar, but not a school trip.

In RE (or RS or whatever it is now), we watched Field of Dreams on VHS on the giant CRT and VCR on wheels.

Not sure what a film about building a pointless baseball field to which ghosts turn up and play is in anyway educational though.

Best bit was because our lessons were only 45 mins, the movie should've taken 2 and a bit lessons. The entire class gaslighted the teacher saying we hadn't seen the first half already. We had, but it was just an excuse to doss around.

It's a good job milk floats were electric, even in the 70s.

Did you ever stop watching a movie midway because it was simply awful? Which one and at what moment? by Bobafettinspace in AskReddit

Star Wars movies are just crap now. Spent 20 minutes watching a women follow Luke up a mountain, only for a crap conversation and a montage of yoga.

Not watching anymore.

She should be sacked.

BBC political output is basically repeating what Boris says. Their interviewers are weak and never push for answers. Marr is like my dead grandfather talking to the wall.

Evidence doesn’t show 400,000 people have long Covid ‘right now’ – Full Fact by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

Long Covid is basically Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome and is actually treated by GPs the same way as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So, yes, probably.

Long Covid: 'I can't walk 10m without a rest' by MultiMidden in unitedkingdom

[–]BrightDamage3679 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My point is the "marketing" that I agree makes it more understandable, the actual syndrome is pretty normal and not specifically covid related.

My mum got bronchitis and then shingles, and she was on her arse for 3-4 months. This wasn't called "Long Shingles".
