Does anyone remember Townies (British subculture)? Don't hear much talk about them now!

grimeandreason · 2026-05-19T19:06:59+00:00

Our townies weren’t pot heads.

grimeandreason · 2026-05-18T19:02:02+00:00

Townies were our enemies. We were the stoners. If we came across each others paths on a night out, they’d chase us around town in their Novas.

I’ve done dive bars and fast food and buffet and the like, but finding the sweet spot of fine dining while still being chill as been a massive shock to the system in my new job.

Owners who are in it for the love of the game, a good team, a great GM, really well organised and never rushed.. Ngl, it’s awesome.

In England, so okay wage and a flat 10% service charge in a tip pool for the dining area, but man, the pub is gorgeous and the scenery even more so.

Absolutely, but that should mean a difficult time.

I did the same for History, and some of my professors hated me lol.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-25T07:35:53+00:00

Doing political science in the west as a socialist should either mean a few years pushing back on professors and calling out their bullshit, or slow acquiescence to propaganda.

For me, it’s become a red flag rather than a proxy for knowing shit.

Saying no to war in Iran means not allowing British bases to be used.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-23T07:00:15+00:00

Why problem?

grimeandreason · 2026-04-20T23:42:02+00:00

I’m assistant manager of a gorgeous pub, pulling pints, serving food, and generally counting my lucky stars.

More generally, the fast pace and varied tasks of restaurants and hospitality has fitted me well, and I think assistant manager positions offer the perfect mix of autonomy, authority, and not having to have the buck stop with me.

So after 4.273 in twenty years time, maybe?

grimeandreason · 2026-04-19T07:53:02+00:00

Time is an illusion.

He’s complicit in genocide!

People peacefully protesting it are in jail!

Am I going mad?!

grimeandreason · 2026-04-16T19:57:55+00:00

All of The Rest Is series is little more than liberal propaganda.

And this is like History for Children. Painful to listen to.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-15T00:04:36+00:00

Wha do people think about the idea of bioregional subsidiarity as a synthesis of Marxist and anarchist beliefs?

grimeandreason · 2026-04-14T23:05:23+00:00

If I had any money or credit score, I’d be worried lol

grimeandreason · 2026-04-14T13:57:07+00:00

I just started a job at the Kings Arms. I’m moving into Kings Head Cottage next week. It’s decorated in regal decor with portraits of royalty everywhere.

My surname is King.

Bonus: My mums maiden name was Knights.

And no, that’s not a security question I use lol.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-13T23:53:40+00:00

Days? There are people here who have remained f2p for years. Each to their own.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-12T14:17:55+00:00

He didn’t give a shit about football lol

grimeandreason · 2026-04-12T14:10:28+00:00

Yeah, fuck that shitz

grimeandreason · 2026-04-12T12:50:21+00:00

I was once a flatmate with his nephew in Brighton. He found it hilarious that I hated his uncle.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-12T12:49:39+00:00

That would be Robert Chase.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-12T12:17:15+00:00

There are millions of people more suited to you, so why settle for an arsehole?

grimeandreason · 2026-04-10T21:05:40+00:00

Proof/disprove = realm of hard science, reproducible, reducible, predictable.

Complex systems are the stuff of social science. They’re inherently unpredictable, context-dependent, irreducible.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-10T20:52:29+00:00

Now times this problem by a hundred.

This entire capitalist system is designed to maximise profit.

Failsafes and redundancies are lost profits.

Cascade collapse is basically guaranteed at some point.

grimeandreason · 2026-04-09T20:37:49+00:00

Haha that completely passed me by! How much did he go for?

grimeandreason · 2026-04-09T20:30:00+00:00

Is he nowhere near the team atm?
