What Hill Would You Die On?

I've also been told by several "drivers" that when on the motorway you have to do the speed limit, in which case why are there fast and slow lanes, because technically everyone should be doing the speed limit (whatever it is) and anyone doing more or less is breaking the law? Or are they bullshitting me?

Completely bullshitting you. Or at best offering an opinion that happens to be wrong.

As mentioned, lorries limit on M-ways is 60mph (40 on A-roads, speed freaks). Cars don't need to do 70 if they don't want to. The cops might pull you for dangerous driving if you go as slow as 30mph but there's no set lower limit. Unless that is you see a white number in a blue circle which does set a minimum speed (eg in dartford tunnel, it's 20mph), but these are pretty rare.

The point about the middle lane is that you use it to go past and then go back left. The problem with this is when there are so many lorries there's no space left in the left lane, so people stay in the middle lane. Under those circs, that's fair enough.

The vote should be removed from anyone who's been around long enough to become bitter about NOTHING


I'm talking to you boomer bastards that had it all, and threw it away because you were terrified some polish plumber would steal your job in the civil service you were vastly unqualified/incompetant for. To all the flag shaggers yearning for something that hadn't ever existed. To reap the rewards off the backs of your parents work and then have the gaul to say to your kids "it's the work ethic" despite a gig economy where most highly educated people are working 50 hours or zero hours in a gig economy your generation rallied for with your selling out.


You cunts need an aptitude test for democracy like a pensioner needs a driving assessment from the DVLA

Better, everyone gets one vote, but if you can prove you understand politics, economics,sociology, history etc, and have a wide knowledge  of current events, you get more than one vote, Not sure how many more but for instance I reckon I (and most people here, not popcorn obv) should get at least ten votes. Democracy isn't fucking finished!

JS Mill said the same thing over 150 years ago. It's rather a long struggle.

"Food" is shit as fuck, and the sooner we are able to get all of our nutrients and vitamins from either injecting them, ramming them up arse or suckling from bespoke communal udders, the better. Imagine a world where no one is wanking on about spices or what torque of saucepan they have. Bliss. Cardboard, tasteless, perfunctory, unerotic bliss.

Like when they used to give you stickers at the dentist for being good boy, for every cancer/death diagnosis you should get an unlimited supply of entheogens as a compensatory prize.

The prize of death: mushrooms, LSD, DMT, 5-Meo, HPBCD DMT, DXM, Mescaline, Ket and a replenishing cannabis machine the size of two large fish tanks.

I wouldn't say I agree with this, but I went to a Vanarama National League South game the other weekend because my brother follows Dulwich Hamlet and they were playing my local team so he came up for the day.

Now I know Dulwich Hamlet fans have a reputation that they lean into, but the amount of, for want of better words, wet-looking South London hipster nerds absolutely BELLOWING abuse at the opposition team, spittle flying everywhere despite the pandemic, was frankly embarrassing and pathetic. The base libidinal need to belong to some sort of tribe and then get angry at anyone who isn't part of that tribe. Feeble fucking idiots.

But they seem to enjoy it, so what do I know.

It's got a Lidl, now. You wouldn't recognise the place!

That arsehole is an objectively better word than asshole, despite the latter's increasing ubiquity.

Arsehill.

Capitalising black or white (as in the skin colour) - eg "a Black woman" - is political correctness gone mad.

Football should be like snooker. No shouting, no rowdiness at all; just carefully calculated passes and polite applause in the event of a goal being scored. All them histrionics make the game undignified and immensely irritating. Surely, anyone can see that a game involving an incessant background roar and clowning about when points are scored is deeply uncivilised.
