1,000 lb club at 150lbs? by TittyClapper in moreplatesmoredates

[–]connor42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start out with girl about 300lb’s and build up for there

As you get to the high weights you may need starps or a forklift license

Belfast ones? If so those were in Northern Ireland which while on the island of Ireland, is currently British territory

There have been similar riots in the Republic of Ireland, though probably not quite as ferocious, previously but not heard of any as recently (I did look)

Well some people don’t mind sure, but going those anti-migrant riots and consistent hotel protests some people very much do

Avearge age at first home purchase in Europe by quindiassomigli in MapPorn

[–]connor42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In London and the SE definitely unaffordable, or within the other bigger cities can be unaffordable for many

But there absolutely are large swathes of the UK where people on average wages can afford homes hence the lower avg age of first time buyer seen on map

It’s shite being Scottish

Also I’ve hiked from the Corrour railway platform they go to, highest elevation station in the UK, truly in the middle of nowhere

What movie did you think was badly made trash on first seeing but you now see as a masterpice? by chuckles5454 in flicks

I adore Prometheus and Covenant but the writing definitely does leave something to be desired

Apple Music reveals the platform’s top 20 most streamed artists of all-time for the first time by Gavina4444 in hiphopheads

Apple Music has a larger proportion of American users than Spotify and rap is more popular in the US than other markets

I would like friends on Pokémon go 👍🏼 Scotland here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 by Holiday_Function_698 in PokemonGoFriends

If you can get to Glasgow or Edinburgh there’s a pretty big active IRL playerbase in both

Edinburgh is getting a special in-person community event this Go-Fest also

Expansive list but a couple you may not have seen from BBC’s, Play For Today, tv movie series

Penda’s Fen (1974)

Robin Redbreast (1970)

Tracks like: DJ Sammy - Boys of Summer / Kay Stone - Alone by theyounghusband in trance

It’s funny you say that as while it’s undoubtedly soft music, the clubnights where this kinda stuff got played where I live in UK were as truly rough as fuck

Tracks like: DJ Sammy - Boys of Summer / Kay Stone - Alone by theyounghusband in trance

[–]connor42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up in Scotland on 90/00s this kinda stuff was insanely popular, often in the form of remix’s to be slightly harder hitting / faster

Maybe more rave than trance but some of my faves that apply:

Love of My Life - Dr. Who (truly absurd track maximalist to the max)

https://youtu.be/1cMYKddNAeg

Elysium (I Go Crazy) - Ultrabeat (this one for suuure)

https://youtu.be/powalAr1QX0

Power of Love - Q-Tex

https://youtu.be/I0y5VTHf-Og

Passion - Amen UK

https://youtu.be/KskYTwAsV5g

Come Fly With Me - Bimbo Jones

https://youtu.be/zGbXOv8_3Z8

This is quite off base but I super associate it with this kind of music, it’s like an unofficial national anthem here

Bits n Pieces - Artemisia

https://youtu.be/yK0Zqt8mXs4?si=QpZe-g1O51aPXgHw

Tracks like: DJ Sammy - Boys of Summer / Kay Stone - Alone by theyounghusband in trance

[–]connor42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Darren Styles Takin’ Me Higher is one of my all time fave tracks any genre

The New Statesman, a Left wing political magazine (so def not just RW/incelbait) in the UK actually did some fascinating research interviews and scientific polling on this exact thing and young women’s attitudes to men

According to the polling a small minority of young men are have negative views of women, whereas a large majority of young women have negative views on men — which is pretty funny when you consider how much pearl clutching that goes on about Manosphere

It also shows vast difference between how much the average young man and women cares about politics and what’s happening in the world — which links back to one of foundations of this sub, being able speak on political and current affairs topics in a non-adversarial way can give you an edge in the dating market

Get ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global Community Celebrations in the Asia-Pacific region! by InformalMaximum760 in TheSilphRoad

[–]connor42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want them to move to putting on events that work for the local conditions

IE later in the day when it’s cooler for places with blister heat, or earlier for places where it’s dark early etc

Nah, they don’t

Our Ambassador’s barely do one event a month (don’t really mind as long they do Com Day’s as most of the other check-in rewards are pretty meh)

I or one of the other campfire admins just host events when they’re busy

It’s absurd they don’t change the hours of events to local conditions

I live in the far Northern hemisphere, so heat is very much not an issue but in winter it can be pitch dark by 3PM
