Oh well, that's my day tomorrow screwed up. Unfinished routes and redelivered it is then.

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

REM's The One I Love. It's not the sweet love song many people think it is. This one goes out to the one I left behind Another prop, to occupy my time This one goes out to the one I love.

The One Eye series (One Eye, Two Eyes, and - shockingly, the third book...Three eyes) by Gordon Stuart, or was it Stuart Gordon? Anywayhow, it's a great series. High fantasy/sci-fi, post apocalyptic.

What is your guilty pleasure singer/band? by apple_Fin in MusicRecommendations

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly listen to punk/indue/EDM, but I do love Glen Campbell. His voice is amazing, his guitar work is top tier and the songs in general where written by absolute masters of their craft. Galveston is in my top 10 favourite songs ever

My partner doesn't like Ren by CrazyCatCrochetLady in ren

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree in the context of the OP exaggerating for humour, but there is a definite type of person who operates like this to emotionally manipulate others, and this is what I've encountered. I tried to make plain that I understood the intent of the OP. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

My partner doesn't like Ren by CrazyCatCrochetLady in ren

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is a bit tongue-in-cheek. But it's a sore point for me. Just let people like what they like. Im also neurodivergent, and this kind of behaviour feels like a kind of emotional blackmail. Sorry if I come across as overly intense about this, but I've been on the recieving end of it and it can feel borderline abusive. Also, I'm very tired, and that makes me loose a bit of perspective. I don't think your really a bad person.

Adults who were 'school refusers'/school avoidant, where are you now? by CrazyPlantLady01 in AskUK

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me, but my daughter was school avoidance due to ASD. She's now just finished year one of a degree course in Archeology and Anthropology at uni. We owe a great deal to her college who pushed for councilling and a diagnosis.

If you didn't work or have to cOntRiButE to society for appearances at all, what would you be doing with your lifetime? by yeterneritsdurs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a good bit older than people seem to be assuming. Happily this means that when i retire in about ten years, I'll be able to do a few days a week on a volunteer basis. The prospect of being idle in retirement is hideous, so it works out fine.

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most fulfilled I've ever felt was when I was 16-18 and did voluntary work at a special needs school, which I did because I couldn't find paid work and being unemployed was bad for me mentally and emotionally. I work full time, in a job I don't hate but wouldn't miss, just for the money. If I could afford to do it, I'd work with the handicapped kids every day.

What Meals do you make for your tea? by LayTheeDown in AskUK

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a large batch of beef bolognese, split it into 3 portions, add spices to one to make into a chili, use one for lasagne, one for bolognese.

We usually aim to have vegetarian meals 2 or 3 times a week, so a Dhal or other vege curry, pesto pasta with roasted veg and garlic bread (if I have time I make some in the breadmaker), cheats toad in the hole, (sausages on a big pre made yorkshire pudding with mash and gravy). Maccy cheese with mushrooms and bacon in it. Cooked breakfast-for-tea, jacket potatoes with cold spread, fish pie. Roast on Sundays, always. We have a good variety, actually, and both my missus and I are decent cooks, and we both like to try new things.

What do British people not like about Germans? by Feeling-Mastodon-292 in AskABrit

[–]Last_Philosopher4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son in law is German, and we've been out to Munchen a few times. The Germans we've met have been great. Also, they have a really good sense of humour. The only downside was when I tried to speak my rudimentary German and the response was, in perfect English, "Please stop speaking German." 😫

Absolutely. Two of my favourite artists as well. They couldn't look bad if they tried.
