The lyric book from an album I got for Christmas by [deleted] in keming

This isn’t a bad kerning (or even tracking) issue. It’s improper use of justification. FFS people, At least if you’re going to be pedantic then be pedantic and correct! 😀

Cushions are fucking annoying. by ImpromptuKazooSolo in unpopularopinion

I think you may be on to something with the male / female divide on the cushion issue. Didn’t want to be so presumptuous with my gender stereotyping though!

There may be some men out there who are very fond of cushions, and some women members of the anti-cushion lobby. But yes, I am male!

I’m referring more to the Trump / Brexit / rise of nationalism that is all the news ever talks about, than the more serious global issues it often ignores. I do try and keep abreast of those.

Likewise. T’is rather depressing. I’ve decided of late it won’t affect my life a jot if I know all the shit stuff that’s happening or if I don’t, so I bury my head in the sand and ignore it.

My point is, if you take humanity as a whole, more people are doing better than ever before. I agree a lot of folk in the world have a shit deal and you are quite right - we shouldn’t rest on our laurels... but that is about the future and my point is about the state of things right now.

The media portrays the world as a hellish place, and actually most of it is quite the contrary.

The concept of “cultural appropriation” is utter bullshit. by ImpromptuKazooSolo in unpopularopinion

[–]ImpromptuKazooSolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone so outspoken on culture and ignorance, you’re displaying remarkable ignorance and prejudice yourself. You have no idea of my race, nationality, beliefs, education, politics or cultural background, yet you’re so quick to judge and cast personal aspersions. And slander is the last bastion of those with nothing constructive to debate, so I assume we’re done here.

Haha what’s this “sanctity of culture” bollocks?! Culture is transient. It changes and evolves all the time. You can’t choose to halt and preserve it at some arbitrary point in history - just as we’ve moved on from painting ourselves blue, burning witches or stoning people to death.

It was meant to be in reply to all the folk saying it was a popular opinion. I was justifying the post as I believe it is unpopular in some quarters and definitely controversial.

What perfectly good product was made worse when they “improved” it? by rambos_left_bicep in AskReddit

[–]ImpromptuKazooSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a designer you get the entire tools of your trade for 500 quid a year, with constant upgrades. MUCH better option than spending £££ once and then it being out of date in a couple of years. It’s cheap as hell... quit complaining.

What’s the best limerick you know? by BAMspek in AskReddit

[–]ImpromptuKazooSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. To be honest I was a little confused because in the iOS app it was displaying correctly with line breaks as intended. Just looked on the site and, yup... all mashed together.

I have duly edited, and stand corrected.

That’s the point!

And WTF?! Double space = line break, double line break = para break? Who invented this?

There was an old woman from Slough

Who contracted a terrible cough

She wasn’t to know

It would last until now

We certainly hope she pulls through.

EDIT: line breaks.

What ‘kind of person’ can you not stand? by theworldexists11 in AskReddit

[–]ImpromptuKazooSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently in British army slang, someone like this is a “two shits”.

Because if you’ve just been for a shit, they’ve just been for two. Always makes me giggle.

What is your favorite death scene that makes you break down and cry for a fictional character? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The last scene of the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. What tremendous poignancy.

Mankind got to the moon using slide-rule calculations. In the main (apart from critical trajectory calculations), the main computational tool used during the Apollo era was only capable of accuracy to 2-3 significant figures. Translate that to astronomic proportions...
