You’re saying that social media is not the real cause of the youth mental health crisis? Do you propose a different cause? Because I know of a good few, very well-qualified people (of varying ages) that might explicitly disagree with you…
I hear you, and I agree the climate crisis is the number one issue facing us right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t study other areas. What can a cosmologist do to protect the climate except for swap their cosmology textbooks for climate science?
There’s also the fact that they are too explosive to conform to flight safety standards.
Great. Now you’ve cursed me with this too. That’s twice the amount of time I’ll be humming this bitch.
Ok, real talk, this is how bad it is. Once I changed the words to “maybe we’d be better off, if we ate beef stroganoff”. That day I learned to cook stroganoff for the lulz and my girlfriend is now addicted and I have to cook it twice a month.
I’ve had this song stuck in my head on and off for at least a decade.
I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.
Have a look around
That’s great I love it. I do the opposite, I like to give banal items overly technical names. Chair=orthogonal spinal support unit. Hammer=non-calibrated adjustment appliance, etc.

Upper-class British used to ‘drop the h’ on words with a french root to show off their education. Historic had a silent H but hawk did not, for example.
Side note: H has a silent H, it’s “aitch” not “haitch”.
It sounds like I imagine his internal monologue sounds, given the stuff he actually lets through whatever is left of his pr filter.
Is this real? I can’t find this tweet
You are already in a class war. We are losing.
Yes, you won’t get another iteration of the Nazi party directly. Like there won’t be swastikas and eagles and Jew-hatred. But you could absolutely get fascism. Germany supported the genocide in Israel, which is apparently a-ok because it’s not Jews who are suffering. As long as you have an Other to hate and fear, and enough uneducated/brainwashed people to rally behind you, you can fash it up. Chaplin moustache notwithstanding.
