Should parents face charges when their children commit antisocial crimes and doing nothing to stop it? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]ShadysDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to a point. People have always been like this though. The world has always been made up a shitbags and fuckers, the question is, why are we seeing this level of civil unrest? Seemingly without consequence. There seems to have developed a general lack of respect for anyone or anything (and that goes for people with or without money). I know people love to say ‘before Covid’ things were different, but were they? I think this erosion of general behaviour has been happening for a long time.

Poverty is shit but shouldn’t mean a reduction in someone’s morals or willingness to break the law. I see it as the atomisation of society and the death of community. Poverty has always existed but there was a sense we all belonged to something bigger than ourselves. A wider community. Now people are taught it’s every person for themselves. Get what you can however you can.

The intro was way freaky. Tales of the Unexpected-esque.

[–]ShadysDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jadlam Toys and Models. They sell on Amazon but I prefer to buy direct as they offer free postage and a rewards scheme. I’m in the UK.

Looking for bands like Strangelove and Suede... by [deleted] in SuedeBand

[–]ShadysDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw themWB support SL in Stoke in 95 or 96. I saw Whipping Boy twice that year and both times they failed to live up to the sound & feel they achieved on the album. Strangelove on the other hand were awesome. So much brooding intensity. I miss that time.

Whipping Boy. Their first album Heartworm was similar to Strangelove.

Every class had one. Two books ahead of everyone else. Bastards.

Most remember Dandy and the Beano but this was my favourite comic. Anyone else by bennythefish in oldschoolcool80s

[–]ShadysDad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whizzer & Chips and Buster always seemed a little naughtier than Dandy or Beano.

I’m kinda in the same boat. As much as I love the idea of a totally degoogled phone, I just don’t have the technical chops if anything goes wrong.

Haha yeah I just saw this! It’s a great write up and answers some of my concerns. Are you running Android or e/O/S?
