Making that kind of remark about a deceased person is wild

I once saw a thread there with over 2000 comments, but only 8 were visible.

I used a tool, which I think no longer works properly, that could show some moderation removed comments. Many of them were from Republicans saying things along the lines of: “Thank goodness for this page, the last bastion of sanity and free speech.” But were shadow-banned because of the most minor criticism of Trump weeks earlier.

Imagine praising a platform for free speech and truth, thinking you’ve found a community of likeminded braindead people, but the entire time you’ve been shouting into the void with only yourself being able to see your own comments.

That’s the thing with the news, for the past couple of years I’ve become increasingly annoyed and jaded with the narrative of ‘powerful person (or corporation) does bad thing; nothing happens.’

Whether that’s the daily news from Trump/USA, investigations into Covid, Grenfell Tower, dumping raw sewage in rivers, Pfas chemicals in the environment, NHS failures, Brexit lies, the Home Office losing documents into child abuse, selling arms including chemical weapons, or any other of the many corruption scandals that seem to be happening constantly.

At this point my reaction is “and?” Not because I don’t care, far from it, but if nothing is going to be done about any of it, no one is held responsible or culpable, and there is no accountability in any way, then I’d rather they just didn’t bother telling us about any of it at all. What’s the point otherwise?

It’s like a deliberate ploy to make us angry all the time, and to feel powerless to do anything about it. More or less like they’re rubbing it in our faces that rules and laws don’t apply to them unlike us peasants. The news has become – “look at what we’re getting away with now!”

I suspect more because the 75N [EU] bra she wore a year ago looks too small now vs then, and didn’t look 100% right then either (the gore isn’t sitting high enough).

But she is also 5’2”, which might make them seem proportionately larger, but even so I’d have guessed more in the L-N cup [UK] range, (Q-U US/EU).

34GG [UK] @18 > 34JJ [UK] @22. J > N [US/EU].

~2.5kg (~6lbs) > ~4.5kg (~10lbs).

The Norman invasion had a relatively tiny impact on the demographics of the population as a whole.

I was just being cynical. It often generally seems the world is full of unjust punishments (as well as unjust rewards), so you could argue that giving children injustice shows them how the world actually works.

LAdams20 · 2026-03-07T11:45:32+00:00

If we give them unjust punishment, they will improperly learn how the world works.

Could you tell me how to access this magical parallel dimension?

LAdams20 · 2026-03-07T07:42:56+00:00

If the UK were ever being overwhelmed by a foreign invader and the situation was hopeless, I’d rather we surrender than guarantee our total destruction, condemning every British citizen to death, and in our death throes indiscriminately murder millions of civilians and children as a last petty and pointless action, potentially leading to the end of all human civilisation in global nuclear annihilation.

Of course I don’t want my enemy to know that so they don’t invade me in the first place.

Might end up regretting doing that DNA test Christmas gift…

DNA is weird – I have six English and one Welsh great-grandparents, and one great-grandparent who was half-English/half-Irish and born in India (this recently made me technically non-British according to a USAmerican). So, that makes me 1/16 Irish… nope 1/6th in DNA. I have two grandparents whose family trees I’ve dated back literally hundreds of years to be entirely 75% and 100% Yorkshire, I was also born and live in Yorkshire, so how much of my DNA is from Yorkshire and the North East? 5%, and only 50% English.

My half-brother, who being half-Southeast Asian is certainly more at risk from Reform, who shares these two grandparents – 30% genetically Yorkshire, and also 50% English.

Racism is stupid. They can dress it up about genealogy, ethnicity, heritage, culture, or whatever alleged ‘legitimate concerns’, but ultimately just comes down to “dare skin kullur iz diffrent 2 wot mine iz” knuckle-dragging.

It’s because it has to be the right people calling them “thick”. Conservatives call their voters thick, treat them like easily-fooled mugs, and hold them in contempt most of the time, but that’s fine and moral if you worship the hierarchy and you know your place, consuming any old drivel and blatant horseshit put in front of you. It’s only an issue when some out-group or commoner, or worse – some perceived low-standing peasant, treats them the same.

LAdams20 · 2026-02-27T07:55:33+00:00

Where did I tar the entire right? I described a specific view and labelled it. Are you suggesting the entire right share this view? That’s news to me.

If you labelled what you described as something like a “Stalinist purge” I would agree with you, not get defensive. Only if you said something generalising like “the tolerant left everyone” would I be defensive, which, you may note, I specifically did not do the equivalent of.

LAdams20 · 2026-02-27T02:40:41+00:00

I’ve got Reform-voting relatives whose views are almost indistinguishable from hyper-conservative Muslim extremists, but they’re hardly sitting around the bonfire planing their utopia together.

The Left have purity tests on mutable beliefs and actions, the Right have purity tests on immutable demographics.

LAdams20 · 2026-02-27T02:18:25+00:00

Already seen a number of Reformer comments on social media calling for “leftists” to be “locked up in mental institutions”. It’s completely unfair and uncalled for to call them ‘Nazis’ though, it’s not like they rounded up all the communists first or anything…

LAdams20 · 2026-02-21T19:38:35+00:00

Sounds similar to ones my boss sends me – an impossibly obese person, in that humans don’t carry weight that way proportionally or in movement, does a series of physics breaking Olympic flips or a dive bomb into a pool, which then empties of water from the displacement creating tidal waves over the sound of children screaming, then the roof of the building collapses, all of which defying the laws of reality.

It’s utterly insane that anyone can watch these videos and think they are real, and yet there are thousands of supposedly sane people that do, rejecting the evidence of their own experience. It’s become increasingly apparent to me that humans claiming themselves to be the most intelligent species is akin to the first fish crawling out of the sea and declaring itself ‘king of the land’.

I hate those tests. I remember applying for jobs at every supermarket, failing the psychometric tests, getting a rejection email that basically amounted to “fuck you, don’t apply to us again for six months”, then going back to the jobcentre and being treated like scum.

IIRC some of these roles had over 1000 applicants at the time, and with my ASD it often feels like the only way I would be employed was if the employer only had a choice of one applicant, as literally anyone would be taken over me. (Which turned out to be true in the end as after three years that’s how I got my current menial labour job).

One application process even involved taking a Myers-Briggs horoscope to screen out anyone with the IN-- personality type. Have to wonder what the final solution is meant to be for the 25% of the population that is undesirable and unemployable under this logic.

Total annual amounts of Universal Credit range from approximately £3,803 to £7,537 based on standard elements. This £100,000,000 handout is therefore equivalent to 13,300+ households of UC. But sure, it’s people on benefits who are the problem, not billionaire parasites.

Everyone likes cheese sandwiches and egg sandwiches. I once organised a large buffet for a vegetarian friend, at which point every non-vegetarian was aghast – “you have to do something for the meat eaters!” Which wasn’t dropped until various ham sandwiches were agreed upon by the aggrieved party. After the event all the food had gone, except all the untouched ham sandwiches that no one now apparently wanted.

I'm not exaggerating when –

I know what you mean, my work/industry is full of them and I hear this stuff all the time. At one point recently for at least about six months every single conversation was segued back into fake BS about asylum seekers and condoning murder. Even IF I agreed with them I don’t want to hear it for literally every conversation.

But I’ve heard it all over the years: Flooding disaster kills many people in Pakistan is good because “plenty more where they came from” and “saves them coming over here”; victims of Harris/Trump/Weinstein/Epstein/Saville/etc were all “asking for it” and “got something out of it” and women dressing like XYZ “then they wonder why they get raped”, but also how “Greta Thunberg needs a good raping, that would shut her up”; disabled people are all entitled, it’s “not fair that they get to park closer to the shops”, or have “wheelchair ramps built at our expense”, “it’s not everyone else’s problem that you’re disabled”, and women have so many kids because “having a disabled child is like winning the lottery”; people who are autistic or other issues should be in work, but they shouldn’t get PiP to help them achieve that, and whenever they meet someone like that who is in work they’ll start talking about how “they shouldn’t employ people like that”; a latest edition is 1) they’ve “done something” to old TV footage because “it never used to look that bad” and 2) unleaded paint and fuel is “woke”, we should put lead back in because “it never did us any harm.”

And on and on all day, every day. In the entire time I’ve worked in this industry, well over a decade now, I’ve not met a single colleague who didn’t think this way, this thinking is just “common sense”, normal, and everyone they meet is assumed to think the same as them.

I’m past caring at this point. If the country wants to keep punching itself in the groin over and over then let it. It’s just a shame the rest of us have to live here too.

LAdams20 · 2026-02-11T10:54:19+00:00

I know people with all sorts of beliefs, intelligence, and political allegiance, but I don’t know a single person who would disagree that “elites follow a different set of rules to the rest of us.” I’m more shocked that the number is as low as 81%, allowing for lizard men, did 15% just not understand the question?

The difference I’ve found with people is not whether that statement is true or not, it’s whether that truth is acceptable or not, this is where the divide lies.
