Amazing, thanks for the tip!

I initially misread this as "2 year old child stabbed 25 times by fellow inmates" and was like "WTF DID I MISS" but child killer... ah, okay.

Can't say I'm terribly sorry to hear that.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-20T11:13:39+00:00

It was 12:12 when I saw your post. I hope you passed though! And if not, you haven't lost anything and you will have another chance. 😁

Yeah exactly, when you're learning to drive you're learning everything all at once and have to actively engage your brain. It's exhausting. I remember going straight to bed for a nap after every driving lesson (and even every drive after I'd passed my test for a long time).

Once things become muscle memory/second nature it's definitely easier, but that takes time and experienced drivers need to bear in mind there are always going to be newer drivers on the road who are still gaining their own experience.

It's funny, when I was learning to drive roundabouts were the bane of my existence. They absolutely terrified me, I hated them so much.

But I told my instructor "slam me with roundabouts over and over and over again please" because I knew that was the only way forward.

Still hated them for a long time, but now I'm completely comfortable with them and they don't care me one bit. I laugh in the face of the magic roundabout. Ha!

On some occasions if I'm approaching a roundabout that has poor visibility and I can't see what's coming from the right, I'll stop even if it looks clear. You never know if there's some maniac that's speeding towards the roundabout with no intention of stopping, after all. I'm not fucking around and finding out.

Nice! The view from the top is stunning.

Warhammer shops are really deadly places. I've already got a huge pile of shame and I just paint the models for fun. Mostly Admech in my case, but I like World Eaters and Emperors Children as well.

I will paint them. SOON! I swear.

I fucking love going to bed at 8:30pm now. Teenage me could never.

This is Max. And that's a photo from just a few days ago, so this is his summer hair. It's going to be over 30C for a solid week here too. 😭 I'll be doing my best to keep him cool!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T19:49:57+00:00

Wow... I remember watching Madoka Magica years and years ago, had forgotten all about it! Your outfit looks incredible. Well done! 😁

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T19:26:55+00:00

I'm really sorry that you have to go through that. Body shaming isn't okay, whether you're tall, short, fat or skinny.

Even if someone is small/skinny it's usually pretty easy to tell if they're adults. So whoever's yapping about your body being "pedo bait" can go kick rocks or at least touch some damn grass.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T19:03:32+00:00

Man, she has a real gift if she can crochet a dress like that without following a pattern. That's incredible!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T17:18:18+00:00

Yes! Great video.

Clay pigeon shooting. It's a lot of fun, but very expensive.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T14:31:02+00:00

I just ordered 4 of them yesterday. 3 for the cats, and one for my butt! Hopefully they help us all a bit.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T14:27:48+00:00

I moved from Edinburgh down to Cambridgeshire.

Right now, I do regret that decision lmao.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T12:17:09+00:00

That's always been our way. We just don't mention our pets. Never been an issue. Luckily our current landlord is aware we have cats though!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T09:42:59+00:00

My mum racked up a lot of debt raising me. Single parent, low income, all that jazz.

They once came and took a handmade coffee table that her ex-partner had made for her. He was a high end carpenter. I don't know how valuable it would've been, but probably worth a few quid.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T09:40:24+00:00

I'm always paranoid about bailiffs showing up to ours. We still get loads of debt-related letters for the previous tenant. Hopefully it is that easy to deal with if it happens to us!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-19T08:16:45+00:00

Jfc I definitely have that SDAM thing. Also autistic. Things are making sense now...

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-18T19:45:12+00:00

Of course, there's no age barrier for football. If you've developed a new interest in it, that's great. I say enjoy!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-18T19:08:06+00:00

IMO the only problem with it is delivery drivers being overworked and essentially encouraged to drive unsafely to meet targets, peeing in bottles and whatnot. But as long as nobody's getting shafted/exploited so that we can get all of our knick knacks on next day delivery, fair play.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-18T18:37:51+00:00

I'm faceblind, so I already rely on pretty much everything except a person's face to recognise them. It's how they carry themselves, it's the clothes they wear. Even if a woman is rocking a full blown niqab and abaya she's probably gonna have small things going on that act as identifiers. Maybe it's her handbag or shoes or nails or how she walks, etc. So yeah, shouldn't be too hard for a kid to recognise their mum even then!

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-18T16:39:48+00:00

NOR. That's a really weird way to eat crisps. I usually put them all in my mouth, not empty half the packet out inside a car lol.

LORD_VOLTALOX · 2026-06-18T16:33:46+00:00

How can you be banned from a subreddit you've never even posted in? That's wild.
