You don’t really have to exist though. Any rw demagogue worth their salt can whip up a decent amount of fear of and anger towards imaginary freeloaders without any in reality.
5·8 days agoInternet says in French they just generalise to say ‘bird’.
‘Straight as an arrow’ , or ‘as the arrow flies’, might be better though; pretty straight if there’s no wind.
I used to have a friend who pronounced “arrow” like “owl” so maybe go with that.
This also has me thinking about making a bee-line for something.
It’s shite being English. We’re the lowest of the low, The scum of the fucking Earth. The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation!
This one was quite widespread in UK TV, it was one of the first government films to use such shocking imagery and dark themes, 40mph vs 30mph. it’s probably a bit mild by today’s standards, but it was notorious at the time…
No the point is exactly what i think , in exactly the way that i think it. I understand exactly entirely and completely how evolution works. /s
I feel especially bad for the trainer. They really are asking to be replaced if that’s their attitude to teaching.
I’ve also usually done OK when i come across these types of answers. I mean when I see it as answer to other people’s questions. I have never needed to actually ask my own question in about 15 years of using it - which is testament to how many answers are already on there somewhere. It’s very much not evidence that I know stuff.
I think sometimes it takes lateral thinking or jargon translation to interpret the old answer in context of the new question - which could make the old answer inaccessible to the new person - however technically applicable it might be.
What perplexes me about the rtfm and google it answers is why would someone waste their time to type it out?
They must think there’s something in it for them. I guess they place some value in being seen as a twat. Granted at work I work hard to cultivate that image for productivity reasons. But why do I care about random internet strangers on a pseudo anonymous webshite?
The English slang word “bumf” - generally meaning unnecessary bits of paper like adverts , health and safety warnings and TFM - originated from the armed forces, where toilet paper may have often been rationed. Any loose paper was therefore considered “bum fodder”.
‘Bum’ of course meaning ‘arse’ in this case - not ‘homeless person’.
Exactly! Knob only means penis in England because we’re a bunch of wankers.
I’d suggest “pissed”.
Clearly not enough of them to stop the population density increasing though - so the limit wasn’t sufficiently well enforced. I suspect several of them just got a wee bit tipsy but were sill able to get it on.
The exact definition doesn’t matter though, every chicken whether the first or the last, or from the blurry zone between proto-chicken and chicken, has many much older eggs in it’s ancestry. Probably somethig fish something.
Fake, there’s no land at the edge.
Its a big waterfall and the elephants beneath snort it up their noses and squirt it back up top so that it falls as rain.
Make it compulsory for all grain farmers to get so plastered all the time that they’re physically incapable of raising the population density.
There was a 1990s late night tv show in the uk called the Adam and Joe show where they did tv and movie remakes using kids toys. Stupid crap from two twats in a bedroom.
The author of this article obviously isn’t searching my computer though, since they don’t know shit about who is or isn’t illegally searching it. But it certainly isn’t whatever this linedin thing is.
3·11 days agoIt looks like you’re trying to install a programme, let me help you . . . [link to microsoft app store].
You’re very a tolerant person. I wish i could be that tolerant, but I don’t think I can and I guess I do pay the price quite often…
Maybe this is real, I’m no expert, but it does have a whiff of the photoshop to me.
If that is a 2013 nissan micra on the left it’d be smaller in all but height than what looks to be a 1990 ford escort.
