One thing I do like on twitter is there's an automatic way to work out who to mute or block. Simply type in the Search bar something like #JC4PM or #Brexit or Trump and then mute/block every single person that shows up there. RSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything as well. the Villa/Wolves game has so many infantile, purile, literally not worth *anything* tweets/responses.. Are people really this dim-witted?

What is it that actually qualifies people to review music, films, dinner or whatever? Pretentious bell ends, all of them. Meh. Cinema tickets cost more than ten pounds now, and it's hard enough to get the missus out to a film as it is, without it being a complete lucky dip as to whether it's any good or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really brought home how bad Dylan's voice is Been playing the box set today. What it brings home is that he couldn't sing harmony. With Johnny Cash, particularly. And it was unrehearsed studio jams, never intended for release. I still like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I say as I sit at work listening to Neil DeGrass Tyson/Richard Dawkins Seminars ) Yes, something that really pisses me off (although I think it should) is where people use catchphrases / slogans / acronyms as a form of political argument. Twitter has made this kind of inevitable, but it's particularly annoying when you see someone who's trying to say something in good faith just get taken down with an "ok boomer", "centrist dad", "white people problems", "check your privilege", "appeaser", "apologist", "mansplainer", "whitesplainer", "TERF", "SWERF", etc. It's all stuff that's meant to be shorthand for a more detailed argument, but it gets used lazily as a way of shutting down debate. I feel like today's political debates are more like the way teenagers argue about music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 At 33, I'm finally having to have 'the conversation' with myself about what to do about my hair. I have the cranium-shape of Jean-Luc Picard and the baldness pattern of Slaven Bilic, and I'm completely lost as to what the hell to do to grow old with the tiniest bit of dignity.

I've always thought if I ever start balding I'll just buy a pair of clippers and take it all off.

It's surprisingly depressing to contemplate a future of doing that every 48 or 72 hours until I drop dead, to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 @HanoiVillan Plenty of people will say shave it off. In my eyes this is quitting and there are only two options. or...
