Whenever I use the pullout method, it spends the rest of the day making noises and flashing me. Trying to tempt me back.

Fed up of all their "holy days" every year. When is it unholy day?

Oh yeah? My comfort food is necking straight paprika

I'm the same, I have an active life and don't take it seriously. I find it easier on Lemmy because you can put it down to a crazy instance and you can't see your overall upvotes so nothing matters! Me and my friends enjoy going back to my AITAH post to laugh at the insanity of online people, it makes a great party story. Keep posting sense!

I see you were asking the question in bad faith and you didn't really want an answer.

We also gave currywurst to the Germans

In this context I think it's comfort food because it's kiddy food. Something simple and familiar that reminds you of being younger. In England, children's menus will usually contain basic things like chicken nuggets and fish fingers that aren't (heavily) spiced.

I read your comment thread this morning and it's been bouncing around my head all day. I agree with you, and there's something I can't quite put my finger on about how everything online is so serious and black and white. If you do something wrong you're evil incarnate and you deserve instant excommunication.

Your comment being so heavily downvoted is a good example. I think your stance is the most reasonable, and I think if this all played out in the real world you'd have a vast majority of people agreeing with you. But for some reason once it's on the internet you're unanimously wrong and it's not up for discussion.

I've been on the wrong side of an "am I the asshole" post one time and it was bizarre seeing the anger of people on the internet compared to the relaxed opinions of real people that heard the story. I wish there was a term for this phenomenon because I see it everywhere. Terminally online people who can't just see nuance and realise that we all do stupid shit.

I don't really have a point but I thought I'd let you know you inspired some thought in a single person from the void.

One time I had an ex ask me for some obscure cable that I happened to have. We went over to my cable drawer and as I pulled it out she said "Why do you have this drawer of random cables?"

FOR THIS EXACT PURPOSE BECCA YOU BITCH

Every time I see this guy, I chuckle at the fact he needs a stage name to sound working class because "Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" is definitely a person who shops at Waitrose

This is meaningless if it drives back on the same roads. "You can drive for 30 hours on a roundabout in Blackburn, Lancashire without ever leaving the roundabout in Blackburn, Lancashire"
