I was on my way to London on 9/11 to watch AAF when we heard the news. The show still went ahead, we were shocked and powerless, drinking to forget. The following week there was a closeup photo of me in Kerrang magazine, being pulled down from crowdsurfing by security. The world changed that day.
Mayyyybe, if capped at a small amount (10-15%), and on condition that you used sustainable transport. Would minimise pisstakers, promote regional identity and make travel by road much nicer for those who chose to take the hit. Or, you achieve similar by paying a bonus to people who walk/cycle/bus?
sure, the revolution will not be televised but I guarantee some fuckhead will be filming it on his phone
The meme of the man in the nightclub shouting in the bored-looking woman's ear
Couldn't resist, sorry 😅

they say you are over the hill bc as you approach middle age, you stand atop that hill, a great vantage point from which to survey the low-lying territory that is your elder years, and then against your better judgement you begin to walk down, a brave adventurer, into the onslaught you will not win
Oh yeah, it's alright for these buggers, they get to leave the planet for ten days!
This is, and probably always will be, the best story ever told on social media:
Trying to sell/buy our house at the moment, where everything needs to have happened yesterday and everybody wants in, but all you want to think about is your family's future happiness. This resonated with me.
I have a friend who grew up there. He and his old school friends, in that disparaging way that people like to talk about their hometowns, call it "the 'Nam", like they are US Army veterans comparing notes about the things they witnessed.

The 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake is now Richie (from the Bottom Christmas Special "Holy") who's wearing a blue towel over his head. In the top left panel, he's holding his hand up - revealing one of his fingers has been stapled on at a shonky angle - as he turns away from the image of gold, frankincense and myrrh in the top right panel. He's all smiles in the bottom left panel as he points at the image of (Terry's All) Gold, Frankenstein (mask) and Grr in the bottom right panel. Merry bloody Christmas, Richie!

Impressive remote collection!
if we're going to be out here saying the 360 is twenty years old then we need to confront the fact that the last time anyone had any new ideas in the AAA space was 2008
Looks like you fell for the "blue herring"!
