sidcow Posted October 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2021 Which reminds me, these multi multi millionaire footballers. Why they always going out in cars getting sloshed? Why not just employ a chauffeur? It would be like pocket change for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same reason the majority of criminals are young men, and the same reason the majority of people in A&E on a Friday night are young men, ie young men lack impulse control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science. The part of the brain that controls impulsivity, the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once a young man and I never once felt the impulse to get into a car and drive sloshed. More to do with arrogance and intellect I would think than age.

I'd wager a used petrol car used sparingly is better for the environment than a new EV in terms of carbon footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably sat 6 feet away from each other My in laws were away for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary, they came back after 3 days because they were having massive arguments. The next day the MIL wished her incredible husband and love of her life a happy anniversary despite the fact that we knew they were on the brink of divorce and not speaking. Why do they feel like they need to keep face on social media? Who gives a shit if she doesn’t wish him a happy anniversary on facebook? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Twitch has been hacked, and among other things, subscriber payouts to streamers have been leaked. This is how much some people have been paid to broadcast them playing games and talking bollocks to viewers. Incredible.
