Xela Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 6 hours ago, BOF said: Lena Dunham. Exhibit A “There are now big conversations at Oberlin, where I went to college, about cultural appropriation and whether the dining hall sushi and banh mi disrespect certain cuisines. The press reported it as, ‘How crazy are Oberlin kids?’ But to me, it was actually, ‘Right on,’” Dunham said. So she thinks the mere presence of sushi on a cafeteria menu is disrespectful to the country that it came from, because it's somehow 'appropriation'? WTF? This is a word removed who admits sexually molesting her own toddler sister in her autobiography and not thinking anything wrong of it. And she has strong views on food? **** moron. A turbo word removed of epic proportions. No doubt there is an element of the white misogynistic patriarchy to blame as well for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted July 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Right.. 1. The fact I think of a lot of things to write in here when I'm out but forget by the time I sit in front of my laptop. Not today though... 2. People who drives for ages oblivious that their indicators are on. Can't you hear a ticking you cockwomble? 95% of time its women. Daft bints. 3. The people, my mother included, who read the TV guides that come with the Saturday papers and basically give the plot away of the soaps for the week ahead. Why read it?! Its like reading a spoiler review before seeing a movie or reading the last page of a book first. 4, Work toilets. About 50% of the time I go into a cubicle there is a shit in the pan. Don;t these shitehawks flush? Who doesn't check the pan after they have finished to check its all been flushed away. Savages. 5. People taking Pokemon too seriously. As a game I like the concept but one guy has quit his job to catch Pokemon full time. Muppet! if he put as much effort into work as he does Japanese monsters then he might get somewhere in life 6, People who blow things out of proportion (yes I know this is rich considering this post). say if whatsapp or instagram is down for a few hours. Some people can't cope. Moaning incessantly on other social media about how much of a disgrace it is. Chill out, its a free site you are using. If you are paying £100 a day then fair enough but you aren't so stop being a spunk trumpet and get over it. I think i'm done for today...

Ryan. Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Is that a weight off your shoulders? As an extension to 2. People who put there hazards on when coming to a standstill on the motorway.

Its like reading a spoiler review before seeing a movie or reading the last page of a book first. That's the reason I don't "get" soaps. What joy is there in a TV show where everyone knows what's going to happen all of the time. The odd time there is a storyline that people don't know the outcome of it's a MASSIVE thing. As if spoiler-free TV is a new invention. Also, wasn't it Karl who said he reads the last page of a book first so he knows how it ends if he dies before the end of it? Or am I getting confused with that time he read a book in the wrong order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find a group has been set up, so I click on it to have a look, and it's a closed group. Bit silly I think to myself, as I'd think the more people see the posts the better. I click to join group though, as I could do with having a look. A box then pops up, asking me to justify why I want to join the group? Erm, because I want to adopt a ******* kitten, obviously! Suffice to say I didn't bother sending the request. It was probably for donors only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an "ahem" young lady visit the other day and she decided to put the lid down at some point during the evening. Made my 4am pee, rather splashier than I'm used to.

That's why they invented brake lights you chump. You're definitely in the right thread because that certainly shouldn't piss you off. It's a safety thing. Braking and coming to a stop are not necessarily the same thing, and especially on a motorway where you don't usually expect to be at a standstill, hazards are there to alert the person behind that this is not a normal situation and to take a second look! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars that try to do too much for you. I do not want a 'clever' car. I am a good driver in control of my vehicle. I'll put the wipers on when I need them. I'll put the headlights on when it needs it. I'll put the hazards on when it needs them. The reason this is the right thread for this is because I'm perfectly aware there are bad drivers out there who can't do these things when appropriate, so we do need cars that do it for them.

IOW if I brake hard, I know when to put the hazards on. I don't want my car making decisions like that. The hazards are completely separate from stuff like auto headlights and wipers. The hazards are a safety feature. If you slam your brakes on on the motorway the hazards come on immediately. Good or bad driver, they'll be on faster than you can put them on. It's the same sort of ballpark as the cars that automatically brake. They're there to be faster than a human. The wipers and headlights are convenience features. It's got nothing to do with making up for bad drivers who don't know when to put their wipers on Edited July 19, 2016 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree You should go on a motorway already being aware that traffic can and often does come to a standstill on motorways. Its a regular occurrence. If I wasn't paying enough attention to notice brake lights and slowing traffic, whilst keeping a respectable gap, then hazards wouldn't make a jot of difference.

Of course you should! But fact is some don't. And I don't want that person killing me ! 'Should' is a very dangerous word on a motorway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
