Ninety per cent of Giggles' posts are literally that.
I do enjoy how Muggers misunderstand this place. I think it's a result of being foreign twice. He has both the language barrier (Czech) and a failure to grasp dry humour (Yank).
Yet he sticks around, so he is good in my books. Despite being a massive twat.
Brits always patting themselves on the back for their sense of humor is pretty lol, as if no one else ever tried the deadpan style.
The best "Brits and comedy" trope is deffo the one where they're generally not even remotely funny but alas "You just don't get our dark humoUr because you're a yank".
It's not that nobody else has tried it, it's just hard to understand the humour of people that, well, aren't your people. I lived with a French bloke for well over a year and I love him, but his sense of humour was just plain strange to me. The same with the Indian bloke I work with.
British, Irish and Australians are able to get each other in a way that I don't think people of other nations get us. For the most part, anyway.
You see Giggles as just being a mardy cunt, John as being a capricious cunt and, probably now, me as being a patronising cunt. But it's just a different strain of humour. You take it all too seriously.
John having a strain of humo(u)r.
This dude said mardy as if that's a real word the fucking audacity of these people astounds.
LTILTFYO: Where my company is stationed at this hospital is in a line of several workstations separated only by a glass sorta like this:
|8|7|6|5|
======
|4|3|2|1|
I sit at #8. There used to not be anyone at any of the desks on my side except occasionally at #5.
Now, though, because there wasn't double monitors at #8, a woman has moved down to #7 to do follow up calls with doctor's offices, insurances, and patients.
Long story less long, she's fucking yelling into her headset and any time something of even the slightest of note happens she looks over at me like i'm the fucking camera on The Office and expects me to, noticing her head turn, look back over at her and make one of those "aha that's crazy" faces.
It's fucking exhausting. And on top of the yelling and the consistent calls for attention, I get the same exact stories about how people are crazy, how it's exhausting having to deal with these people, etc. etc.
I used to go 10 hours a day barely speaking with anyone outside of very polite and pleasant work banter.
Now every 5 minutes I'm expected to participate in this God damned mother fucking song and dance.
Whilst typing this she literally just exclaimed AH THESE PPL LOVE TO WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE and looked over at me while I'm literally typing about how much I hate that.
AAAH I HATE BEING POLITE I WISH I COULD TELL EVERYONE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AaAAAAaaaAH!!! (I realize the no-caps filter is going to kick in and make that look less stressful so just imagine i'm yelling).
How in the fuck did I manage to type that much about something so trivial God i fucking hate myself.
She clearly fancies you. Get in there son.
Extinction Reballion wasting everyones time in the city this week is already at peak levels of pathetic and its only Tuesday. My street is full of them and I kid you fucking not they invoke Ghandi while trying to win me over.
It's the first protest movement I've seen in a while where they're legitimately doing more harm to their cause.
It is the worlds dumbest echo chamber.
I think it's justified. Governments don't pay attention to anything truly peaceful. I'm not necessarily pro-XR, but I'm pro doing what it takes to get results.
The moment a drone gets sucked into a jet engine is the moment it ends.
The out-and-out mentalness of their 'demands' seems to have become lost in all the lolling at them for being idiots. They basically want to turn the last three centuries off.
Yeah, they want carbon neutrality in six years. Putin's right to laugh the lot off but he should've just told them straight: You cannot pivot that quickly. Even if you could, it puts millions of jobs at risk. Millions.
Is Giggles as actual climate change denier?
Either the forecasts of expected temperature rises and the damage caused as a result are being over-egged (I don't think they are) or it's all pointless.
We're simply not going to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, so we may as well be spending our time looking for viable alternatives instead.
There's obviously some sort of an issue but the fact most people (mainly PLASTIC STRAW cunts and vegans) are just using it to puff their tails out on social media makes a cunt of the whole thing. Plus I'm middle aged and have no kids so I couldn't give a fuck anyway, even the real activists are only making my last days inconvenient.
Electric cars seem to building momentum. Mini are pushing one and FIAT's testing a 500 ahead of next year's launch. Aviation's a weird one because they're always pushing for more efficient engines. Fuel is a carrier's biggest expense.
And plant loads of trees. There's a lot of green space about that feels a little underused.
I read that somewhere earlier. It's all well and good thinking NEW ELECTRIC CAR, but just building that new car (without even getting into what goes into the batteries, or how you provide the electricity for them) is by definition a massive waste ('waste') of resources compared to keeping an existing one running.
And this is the issue, it's mostly ill thought out token gesture shit. To actually stop the impact it would take a fundamentally, properly fucking fundamental, change to the way we live and very few are actually prepared to do that.
There's also no chance the 2nd/3rd World will get anywhere near it either as they'll just see it as the established order keeping themselves ahead. Think when GS was moaning about Man Utd's inherent advantage over Liverpool because their 90s success coincided with the Premier League.
Without having looked at the stats, I highly doubt the pollutive impct of building an electric car is somehow equivalent to the pollutive impact of driving a car on gasoline
Even if it's annoying when you're caught up in it, I'm glad they are. The world has to radically change but it won't which will mean a mass reduction in the world's population and way of life.
Yes I had indeed heard that alright, but that would constitute a long term plan. Do you think someone patting themselves on the back in a Hyundai Kona gives a shite where the electricity comes from or what the manufacturing costs to the planet were to replace their 2017 diesel car? Do they fuck.
It's like all these other wankers we were originally talking about. They just want the day off school/work.

Your renewables also aren't much good if everyone is coming home and plugging their cars in at six o'clock. Nuclear would be, but people are stupid about that.
We're on 100% renewables now but the vast majority of that is hydro-electric and if the glaciers keep going the way they are we can say goodbye to that.
Our utilities are state-owned so instead of having price differences between companies you choose how much of your power you want from solar/nuclear etc. and pay based on that.
However, due to the age everything was built in we're over reliant on Gas and only 20% of that comes from Bio versions of the stuff. Rest has to be imported.
The world really does need more nuclear. Or at least the Western world. You wouldn't really trust too many of the middling countries to not cause a meltdown
the guy who "invented" the hockey stick temperature graph that the ipcc and govs use as proof of temps rising just lost in court because he refuses to show proof of it happening

Actually, this Yaysus fool is the biggest retard on the forum
Transport and industry also exist.
EDIT: Also, no way I can read that.
I was referring to the home obviously, I don't know the source of everyone elses. But on that front most of the transport system is covered by Tram & Electric buses. You can also install solar panels and sell the excess to the government.
You speak a latin language, Solaire & Hydrolique can't be that hard to interpret.
