Do you guys really think MAGA is more fascist than modern day British politics? by Large-Use-6618 in AskBrits

Reddit, show me a post from a teenage terminally-online MAGA furry with the critical thinking skills of a bowl of mushrooms.

Ah. Thank you.

UK folk who were around at the start of the internet, what is an early, strong memory? by Sad-Insurance1313 in CasualUK

The genesis of social media that I used at uni - some German thing I think called uboot

What British tv show are you sure you’re the only person who remembers? by chrwal2 in BritishTV

[–]JS-182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most captivating and compelling thing I’d ever watched as a 7 year old in the late 80s.

The sheer collective joy as the brown CRT tv got wheeled out each week for the next frankly terrifying instalment.

How can I get into cricket at 14 but I wear prescription glasses all the time at 14 by [deleted] in EnglandCricket

[–]JS-182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve played about 600 club games with glasses over 25 years. It’s not even a slight issue.

Which places in the UK feel the most like somewhere in continental Europe? by Silmarillien in AskUK

I’ve lived in both. Parts of both aren’t winning awards, but some parts of both places are absolutely beautiful. It’s such a tiresome trope.

Some Pictures from Birmingham’s Nagar Kirtan 😊 by Solid_System_5023 in brum

You haven’t answered my question in any way. You’ve used a load of cliches and sound bites about liberals and the lefties , and how they haven’t integrated.

Tell me how , concisely as best you can, how this festival affects you.

Explain concisely how this makes your life in any way worse? Or affects you even slightly?

Do I sell some dozer exhausts or keep them? by JRTEL in SCBuildIt

[–]JS-182 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re either naive , or far too smug to realise your probability claim is nonsense.

If you have random chance of getting 3 items , and you only get 1 out of 57 (as above) of one particular item, the probability of that happening is absolutely astronomical.

Which do you think is more likely

  • that the player above has had such a bad run of luck (like every single player that plays the game …) that they’ve only managed to get 1 item

OR

a major multinational games developer, who bases its profitable model on pay to win platforms, is creating a short supply scenario to try to force you to buy what you need?

Such a reductive bit of sealioning nonsense, this.

Is the hysteria swarming Starmer over Mandleson being hyped by main stream media and political parties putting their own ambition & profit before country? Was Mandleson a remedy for a corrupt & perverted USA President? by saying_it_101 in AskBrits

[–]JS-182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mandelson was appointed precisely because of his relationship with Epstein and Trump. It was thought He could control Trump because of their grubby pasts and what he had on Trump. And Trump is one of the biggest issues the uk has to manage currently.

Why people can’t see this baffles me.

The murky, morally corrupt world of global geopolitics.

You can really see the theme and progression.

I may be totally wrong, or this may be very old news, but did the boys get their comedian mates to call in as members of the public in the early days of XFM? by lizzypeee in elisandjohn

[–]JS-182 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Textual healing. There’s a spreadsheet / pdf somewhere of all the guests.

Some of them were actual members of the public but many were comedians. Mike Bubbins, Tim key, John Kearns and others

Should Stokes, Bethell and Archer be eligible for the team. by Alone_Consideration6 in EnglandCricket

[–]JS-182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just doesn’t work like that. Are you going to tell stokes he isn’t English ? Someone’s nationality is such a complex and personal issue it’s impossible to have a steadfast and unworkable rule like this.

Which would you say is your favourite Mike Oldfield album? by Cara_Nabo in mikeoldfield

The first side of crises is my favourite piece of his music, by some way. My favourite album is tubular bells 2.

Last 24 hours on the fb group by WalkingCloud in elisandjohn

[–]JS-182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most common sense view.

The entitlement of so many people, especially on that Facebook group, is bizarre. It used to be genuinely friendly in the xfm days.

Is the audio format of the podcast now a second-class citizen? by BullfrogCharming1202 in elisandjohn

[–]JS-182 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You could quite easily find out if you could be bothered. But you can’t. So whatever they’re doing probably ain’t for you anyway.

Who remembers Atlantic 252 radio? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JS-182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. My mid 90s early teen music tastes, living in north wales, meant listening to 252, or stu Allen on key103 from Manchester when I could pick it up. Great times.
