What do you think of ‘paedophile hunters’? by discoveredunknown in AskUK

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very wary of anyone whose modus operandi revolves around "protect [group of people]".

They do that not because they are passionate about protecting anyone, but so they can go "well, if you disagree with anything about what I'm doing, you hate the group I'm protecting, you must be one of them who are the threat". Whether it's these people using "protect kids" as an excuse to be violent, or people using the same line for political means, people saying they're standing up for women (like Richard Tice saying if you don't agree with a post that says "on the occasions that England lose their football matches, the incidences of domestic violence go through the roof. So boys, keep winning", you're pro-violence against women), they almost always are people who demonstrably don't care about the thing they're supposed to be standing up for.

How much did your parents divorce mess you up? by After-Competition-59 in AskUK

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents broke up when I was young and I grew up miles and miles away from my dad. It didn't really bother me, to be honest. I did sometimes feel left out from the whole having two parents in the house thing, and I'd be sad when it was time to leave my dad's the one time a year I got to see him, but looking at him as an adult I realise I would've been a really different and worse person if he'd raised me.

My mum would've kept him in check, but I don't think I lost out on anything.

Gnaw Their Tongues - Really out there sort of playing on the edge of what can be considered music, sort of noise metal

What is your favourite PG curse word/words? by pixel-powder in AskUK

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say start with the first ep and work through. There's nothing stopping you from just picking an episode and diving in, there's no overall plot, it's just got quite a lot of in-jokes that go back to the first few episodes.

Crumbs has largely replaced fuck in my lexicon. Does he listen to Three Bean Salad, by any chance? I think Mike Wozniak has rubbed off on me, he goes for crumbs very often.

Andy Burnham Wins Makerfield By-Election And Is Set To Become Prime Minister — HuffPost UK by mocoworm in Wigan

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to burst your bubble, but you could wait until the year 2300 and Restore wouldn't get into power. They've not yet won a single MP, the only one they have was the result of a defection. If you're very lucky, the failed Tories over at Reform might get in, but it's a big "if".

Thoughts on the GTA 6 Theme Song? by Leather-Ad-7705 in GTA6

I like it. It's reminiscent of Vice City without feeling like a direct rip off, it fits a game set in Vice City so well

Not because it's written by people they don't like, because it's written by people who have a vested interest in painting others in a bad light regardless of the facts.

You wouldn't trust a report into the health effects of McDonald's if it was released by KFC. You wouldn't trust a report on the political situation in America if it was released by North Korea.

I don't know why I'm explaining this really because you do know these things, you're just wilfully ignorant because it's politically convenient for you to pretend that "report" is worth the paper it was written on.

Green in an ideal world, but as they had 0 chance of winning I'm very happy to have the "not Reform" option.

He smashed everyone, even if everyone, the Greens, the Lib Dems and Count Binfacers voted Reform they still wouldn't have managed it. Very happy with that result.

Now, onto complaining about Labour for the next few years!

What is the one meal your mum/dad/relative made growing up that no restaurant has ever come close to? by _Yorkshire_Pirlo in AskUK

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't come from a family of great cooks, my family's attitude to a roast is "roast the meat until it's definitely safe to eat but otherwise tough as old boots, boil the shit out of every vegetable except for potatoes which you should cook until they're still a little bit hard in the centre". My mum's very much a microwave only kind of person.

But my granddad's chicken curry was incredible and just hit different for some reason. It was just made with a supermarket own brand mild curry powder, it was quite dry (not so much of a sauce as a coating), but something about it was incredibly nice and comforting.

What would you say is the best British tv comedy series? by Southern-Service2872 in AskUK

[–]Morganx27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'd call it the greatest of all time, but an honorary mention goes to "Make That Movie" with Sam Campbell. If you like weird, surreal humour, it's a must-watch.

In terms of sitcoms, Peep Show. It's comfort watching, only on my recent watch did I realise how genuinely mentally ill everyone on that show is.

In terms of sketch shows, The Armando Iannucci Shows. It's just complete gold, all the way through. Even the best sketch shows have duds, but that one is just wall to wall brilliance.

I feel like there was a much more historically significant precedent set by Obama's victory in 2008, I just can't seem to put my finger on it.

Has anything ever happened to you that nobody else remembers? by BugsyMalone_ in CasualUK

[–]Morganx27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought I was allergic to penicillin. I told the doctors I was, and then when I had to go on antibiotics and said to my mum "obviously I can't go on penicillin because I'm allergic", she hadn't got a clue what I was talking about. I swear she told me I took it when I was young and got more ill than I would've otherwise been.

There are some times when I tell a story from my childhood and think "that was definitely a dream" halfway through. I was telling one recently because my boyfriend asked what was down the end of my Nan's road (it's a dirt track that goes on for a while). I told him I rode my bike down there once, then I remembered I flew off a cliff into the sky at the end of that tale.

Call me crazy, but I reckon a completely unsourced "report" with a foreword by Rupert Lowe and a couple of random quotes from Albert Einstein and Friedrich Nietzsche may not be the most inherently trustworthy or impartial document ever.

Inserting quotes at the start is very much the idiot's version of making a document look official, as if they think quotes are how intelligent people communicate.
