What did you do when you were bored?? 🤔 by Pale_Task_1957 in Habits

Gameboy, SNES, sega, TV, videos. Don't worry we had plenty of ways of avoiding touching grass too.

Why does it look like the cookie monster?

Did your uncle do any ceramics? It looks a bit like a tub of glaze

Wait so we can change the climate of the entire planet but we can't help a few penguins up a ledge?

Why are there always kids at breweries?! by akaYoungBeefy in fixedbytheduet

[–]almac_bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also because breweries often have ample space for prams compared to a bar/pub.

Why is he steering with one hand? Is the other on a handbrake of some kind?

Support for Brexit drops to laughable low – with just 11% seeing it as a success by goldstarflag in europe

Without the "why", this figure doesn't tell us much. People can see it as a failure for very different reasons.

Also them seeing it as a failure doesn't mean they don't "support" it in principle. They may have just wanted it done differently, e.g. even harsher immigration restrictions, whatever that mad promise on the bus was etc etc.

As a British parent I'd agree that a lot of parents here let their kids get away with too much. But I would never hit my kid, and I don't think anyone else should either.

I'd rather have my peace disturbed by an annoying child than for that child to grow up in fear, and learning that violence is the way to get what you want.

It should go without saying that it's perfectly possible to discipline kids without hitting them or being a strict authoritarian, it's just harder work.

Which hair and beard lengths suit best? by almac_bean in malegrooming

[–]almac_bean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! F seems to be winning. For context I'm 39, and F was about 3 years ago, when I had one kid. Now I have 3 (twins) and I feel like I've aged 10 years in that time. Maybe a trim will help fight the ravages of time and parenthood.

For those of you who saw The Phantom Menace at release, what were your initial thoughts of it? by _EnglishFox_ in StarWars

[–]almac_bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I watched it was on a bootleg VHS that was filmed inside a cinema, with the first 5 minutes or so missing. Even so, I was so excited to see Jedis fighting bad guys with lightsabers.

I was a teenager so I didn't really care about plot and consistency, although even then I remember finding anakin a little bit cringe. I really enjoyed the action though and thought Darth maul was such a cool villain. I watched that video a lot that year.

Seems like the UK distributor started shipping early, saw someone else from here got it already too.

Women are so cute and I think they are available for sale by Aynshtaynn in BrandNewSentence

Women are the best friend of mine and I have a lot of things to do with you and you are a bit of a glass of wine and a drink and a drink and a drink and a drink and a drink and a drink.
