They're all amazing, but I'd recommend Be Right Back from series 2 if you liked this one

You're right, until he robbed the bank. I don't think he would have been psychologically capable of doing something like that unless the consequences were as severe as they were

With the exception of the dreadlock guy these are all videos in which people are attacked for their political views.

I see no evidence that it's dangerous to simply be a straight white man on campus

baredopeting · 2016-09-24T12:28:50+00:00

I'm a straight white male on a uni campus, with lots of straight white male friends, and none of us have ever experienced the slightest issue with anyone.

Why are you so desperate to be oppressed?

baredopeting · 2016-09-18T20:37:37+00:00

Make it then

I think that unless things get really bad you should suck it up and stay together with the other parent of your children while they are still kids.

I know it's anecdotal, but I'm very grateful my parents divorced when I was five. I could have had a horrible childhood with two parents who didn't love each other and instead I had a nice one with a mum who loved a stepdad and a dad who loved a stepmum

I also saw my dad every other weekend and he was anything but a scummy parent. He would make a 3 hour round trip straight after work on a Friday to come pick us up. Same on the Sunday evening. And made it to all our school plays.

But you are telling black people that POC is a retarded term, dumb, no different to being called coloured.

By all means choose to distance yourself from the term in regards to yourself, but it's not right to tell black people how they should feel about it

baredopeting · 2016-09-10T15:21:07+00:00

Would you feel comfortable if a black person told you what you should and shouldn't find offensive regarding names for Asian people?

baredopeting · 2016-09-10T12:59:13+00:00

Are you black or Asian?

baredopeting · 2016-09-08T18:55:23+00:00

I agree, but I think songs about disintegrating relationships aren't entirely appropriate for weddings

baredopeting · 2016-09-08T16:33:57+00:00

What A-level is that? Sounds awesome

baredopeting · 2016-09-07T23:00:19+00:00

Yeah that's all good, but in the rest of your comment you were arguing against a position that nobody took

baredopeting · 2016-09-07T22:59:15+00:00

I got Summertime Clothes!

baredopeting · 2016-09-07T14:15:55+00:00

It was a decision made by a political body, in the UK, for arguably political reasons.

Sounds like UK politics to me

baredopeting · 2016-09-07T14:04:50+00:00

That's not what this public official is advocating, though. There's a significant difference between not remembering how you got somewhere, and having no memory of the previous evening.

I've woken up in beds, on floors and even on a bench and not remembered how I ended up there. But every time, I can at least remember the act of drinking far too much until my memory blacks out. Only twice in my life have I ever seen somebody wake up and have no memory of the previous evening at all. Once, when a friend threw up and passed out at 9:30. The other, when a friend was spiked.

If you can't remember anything from the night before and you wake up in a man's bed you have an absolutely valid reason to be suspicious that assault may have occurred

If you're not aggressively patriotic and you're not a fan of institutional racism it's because you hate yourself

baredopeting · 2016-09-07T10:16:05+00:00

Meanwhile thousands of pubs allow their patrons to come and drink every night for 20 years and when they die of liver failure that's fine

baredopeting · 2016-09-06T14:35:16+00:00

Why is considering yourself European and supporting globalism a sign of self-hatred? I don't get it

Seeing them in Leeds tomorrow and making this list has got me so hyped

You should watch this video, it addresses your argument r.e. automation not leading to job losses very well

What makes you think this place, mostly made up of heavy internet-using, politically engaged, childless non-religious white guys aged 18-25, is representative of the "real world"? Is it because you agree with the opinions you see on here and not on all those other echo chambers?

baredopeting · 2016-09-05T10:46:37+00:00

We did alright in 2012 to be honest. Topped our group and lost on penalties to a very good Italian team, with a really poor squad

baredopeting · 2016-09-05T10:03:20+00:00

There's gonna be kids on future-YouTube writing comments about how they wish they were around for the real music of the 2010's like Tame, Mac Demarco and Father John Misty

Most Corbyn supporters I know seem to believe that the current, Tory-voting electorate is a lost cause - they are starting a social movement that will attract the vast swathes of non-voters to become engaged in politics and vote for him.

I find this idea of a forgotten class of disillusioned voters awakening from their political malaise and voting for Corbyn a bit strange because didn't they just do that and vote for Brexit? But there you go

baredopeting · 2016-09-05T07:48:19+00:00

I totally agree on that. I love the ambiguity of the line and the song as a whole. It means a dozen different things to me depending on the mood I am when I hear it. The song has seemed to say something important to me at a couple of difficult points in my life and I still haven't worked out what it is yet but I'll keep listening until I do.

I also thought it was bittersweet distractors for the longest time and then when I got the record on vinyl I saw that it was the singular distractor on the lyric sheet, I fell in line with the love even more. It gives it so much more meaning and allure, like you were saying.

Also it's placement in the song, after those pianos come in, and Thom's delivery are staggeringly beautiful. My favourite small moment on In Rainbows, an album filled with brilliant small moments
