It’s ok, if you’re in IT this is actually a requirement to stop the blood lust.

It looks like it’s gonna give the Doctor and the TARDIS a hard time this week.

I think it’s the conservative movements final stand to be selfish, retrograde minded and cruel. The majority of people now believe in empathy and doing the right thing but those who don’t have doubled down on their ways.

My 2c anyway!

• Thank you Mr Science, for the claim of addiction to a chemical produced by the body. Very smart.
• Citation needed, literally everyone’s got different equipment. Some people are more sensitive, others less. Some people get piercings in their back to increase sensitivity, others are already so ticklish they shiver just from the touch.

Religion is mostly to blame, but I think some of those religious teachings have been integrated into institutions and secular society as well. Notions that self gratification is a treat and not a need, the perception of masturbation that it’s some teenage boy temporary phase and not for women or older married men. The idea that it can’t be a social activity at all, even though it’s free and safer than drugs.

Ok, now overlay young men under 30 who are into Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate…

It feels like these protests are going to shape how the governments of the world will respond to mass unrest in the future.

Or in other words - those in charge want the common person to be disempowered, to frame a peaceful protest as an act of terrorism so they can be more aggressive in future.

Hopefully no one on either side does anything stupid.

You guys have money??

I’ve been working my arse off my entire adult life and have nothing to show for it but debt and long term illness.

He’s technically correct - the Taiwanese government are the legitimate government of China living in exile from the Communist Party’s violent take over.

In order to determine the best before you’ll need to solve the emo’s riddle.

This is what happens when you let your son of God be a Sons of the Forest.

Ghostbusters 2 - that painting and the pink goo gave me nightmares for weeks.

Did someone say KFC?

My inner Professor Farnsworth is disappointed it’s not called Zuzu…

This type of sowing discord is well in line with Putin’s playbook and there’s evidence of Russian intelligence being involved.

At recent protests the farmers are even mentioning Putin by name, giving further credence to such theories.

This is extremely upsetting but not surprising. Poland has some of the weirdest retrograde macho right wing culture in the world. It makes sense that many of them would sympathise with Putin.

How do you breathe? I’ve rimmed a few guys but never stuck my whole head up there.

I’ll be fine with the powers of the wizard king of Israel, weed and dinner for two…

Turn Around. Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming 'round…

We’re a home studio that makes websites, software and digital media. I’ve thought about temporarily accepting a job but I fear that would just compromise my mental health to the point where I can’t work at all.

In Australia we IT people get paid about half what our USA colleagues make, our expertise is treated with revulsion, even though it’s critical, and people act like our neurodivergent/introvert personality types are a hindrance to a successful and productive work environment.

I love what I do, but I’d sooner stack supermarket shelves than go back to being some corrupt conservative dickheads golden ticket, again.
