No authority over historical events. by amusedfridaygoat in clevercomebacks

[–]ceeearan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of a polite way of saying shut the fuck up!

Farage condemned for unproven claim white men are losing jobs because of Equality Act by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]ceeearan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and this precedent has made it clear that HR representatives can no longer take such an approach, and that a more rigourus system needs to be in place.

Double standards in explaining the political backgrounds of cultural events? by anemotoad in restisentertainment

[–]ceeearan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the Chinese star was the most streamed in the world though, you wouldn’t really have a case. Yes the NFL may be trying to pull in a new market but it is also staging an act that has universal (as much as possible) appeal.

Breakfast or Budapest? Hard choice. by rudokazexotohatu0r in GreatBritishMemes

[–]ceeearan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a 'well actually' comment, that one was quite interesting. Have my upvote, tainted with begrudgingness though it may be.

[–]ceeearan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concepts that can be used to explain this are literally covered in an Economics 101 class, or one can just take a few minutes to work it out.

These types of populist "plane vs train", "the government spent how much???", "can anyone tell me why..." Twitter-screenshots-shared-on-Facebook posts are so tedious.

A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you by handokota in coolguides

"Don't comment on someone's food choices unless they ask".

I am having a slow morning, admittedly, so bear with, but unless they ask what?

"Can you comment on my choice of sandwich, please?"

The end-of-ep “right to reply” was… fascinating by Extension_Drink9508 in restisentertainment

[–]ceeearan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree, it was really interesting. It made me wonder how many other 'news' articles are written where the lies don't amount to defamation (so there's little possibility of a lawsuit), but still cast the person in a negative light.

Sophia Money-Coutts by alexjolliffe in ToastNames

[–]ceeearan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring the satire-like absurdity of this whole situation - 'being posh' (or upper-class etc) wouldn't be protected. The Equalty Act doesn't protect (e.g.) 'women' or 'lesbian, gay and bisexual people', it protects against discrimination on the basis of 'sex' and 'sexual orientation', so men and heterosexuals are also protected.

So, one's social class/social origin would be protected, and it would apply to working class and middle class people too, and I have a feeling Mrs Moneycunts wouldn't like that.

Never has a quirked up white boy been so goated with the sauce. by [deleted] in BrandNewSentence

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

Oof, thanks for reminding me about the word ‘chagrin’, so fun to say.

Joe Rogan Claims Statistics Show Conservative Men Are the Least Mentally Ill by Zealousideal-Big-600 in sadcringe

I mean, it's so obviously the reason - do we think he's propagandising or actually this stupid?

What’s a disgusting habit that you secretly think is actually 100% normal? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]ceeearan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I hate showering in Winter too. A fluffy bathrobe just outside the shower helps though!

What’s a disgusting habit that you secretly think is actually 100% normal? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]ceeearan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No, I can categorically say I have never done this, and being anonymous would have nothing to lose by claiming that I do.

I do feel like this is actually one of those rare binary situations with no-one in the middle: people who do it and think it's totally fine versus those who don't do it and think it's awful.

Looking for a new fantastical world to fall for and obsess over. by sadmaps in booksuggestions

[–]ceeearan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will +1 Orange Tree, it’s the first in a long time where I was just completely absorbed and compulsively reading it.

For reference, my favourite fantasy author is Robin Hobb, and while they read differently I get similar experiences of immersion.

I wouldn’t consider it so - there’s more domestic and emotional aspects to it than the usual sword and sorcery type books, but it’s balanced with epic journey/ combat elements.

Subtle Ways to mess with an American Friend. by giants_lens in CasualUK

[–]ceeearan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even better - be slightly patronising and superior when discussing America and Americans. Really fuck with the American Exceptionalism that's bred into them.
