May I suggest banning these kinds of posts where idiots like OP destroy pens for engagement? This sub should be about pens and enjoying them, not about attention seeking idiots.

mlopes

You were told do search, not to ignore the results and just read the AI slop.

mlopes

Lol instead of really looking into it you got AI slop. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a fair question. Around the same time the US decided to elect the orange rapist, the UK decided it was a great idea to leave the biggest common market in the world, in which it held one of the top 3 most powerful positions, along with Germany and France. That threw the economy into shambles, and as a result, in the 10 years since, the UK been through 7 prime ministers. Basically I don't know who's worse, you or us. You guys voted for a moron that might destroy your economy, we cut the middle man and did it ourselves.

I don't know if I'd call it a success. I can't remember an instance of someone's favourite moments in taskmaster being one of his. He may have won it, but he was forgettable as a contestant.

mlopes

To be fair, as someone who doesn't like David Walliams, as far as I'm aware there haven't been any scandals or even actual accusations. He does give creepy vibes though.

mlopes

Well, UEFA explained what the problem is very well in their statement.

mlopes

Lol, but only when Russia does it, when Ukraine retaliates you whine that they're bad people. Fucking idiot.

It's not a UK thing, there's a global trend to push back against knowledge, and experts. The whole thing started with Trump's election (and to a degree, Brexit), which kick-started what's being called the post-truth era. These people's view is that they have their personal truth in which they believe, and if you're an expert on something, then you're pushing your truth onto them. With this you see a rise of moon landing deniers, flat earthers, holocaust deniers, etc...

mlopes

No you're a coward, accusing those less fortunate than you of your misfortunes, while being too cowardly to point the finger at the rich and powerful who are the real culprit. On top of that you're racist.

mlopes

Yeah, the whole "truck" thing, the fact that I haven't heard a car honk at a woman in the streets for years, and how these"trucks" find her home to go and honk at, this whole thing stinks of shitposting. Also, where in the UK is this that there's pick-up trucks everywhere like that? Again it just feels like someone who's familiar with the US and imagine the UK is the same with pick-up trucks everywhere, whereas here they're very rare.

Apparently Brazilian players look like anoretic blonde women, and their girlfriends look like ugly black guys. 🤷

mlopes

Bet for a moment you thought OP was really lost, asking about big cock in a Taskmaster subreddit. 🤣

mlopes

This post and its comments win the internet. That's it folks, we can all turn our phones and computers off and go back to the trees.

mlopes

It's supposed to be a different image on each frame, those are all the same!

mlopes

But the English are the majority and effectively the ones that keep choosing these governments. The others just get dragged into it.

If you look at the Scottish government and the limited power they have, they might not be perfect, but their not the shit show that is the Westminster Eton mess. And now they're about to be dragged into the Reform far right shit show, again by England.

Edit: Wow, talk about being downvoted by bots, I pressed post and my comment immediately showed with a score of 0.

mlopes

Oh yes, I was waiting for some singer to tell me what I can and cannot do. Let me just get me notepad so I can make a note of that.

mlopes

The Man he talks about is not a male gender man, it's Man as in member of the human race. It has nothing to do with Chads, and all to do with someone who surpasses themselves, be it a man or woman.

mlopes

More importantly, what's the point? Is this just to establish some kind of record?

mlopes

I don't celebrate killings, but I wonder who are you talking about here. Brian Thompson?

mlopes

I really don't understand how Labour doesn't see that they can't out-Reform on Reform, and keep jumping on Reforms rhetoric and instead of addressing real issues go after the boats, and are pushing for state surveillance. Of course they fail because people who are into that have Reform to vote for, and the ones that don't, are searching for an alternative, and apparently (and IMO hopefully) finding it in the Greens.

mlopes

That last one seems a bit out of place, although to be fair now that they're grifting the Americans there's more reason to actually just be indifferent to them, but I see no reason why anyone would like a couple of obscenely rich grifters.

mlopes

And you sound like you are 15 years old. My comment is a joke on Sunaki having replied to a journalist trying to make the point that he had a hard upbringing because he was the only one in his group of friends that didn't have the paid Sky channels. This has since become a running joke, to the point where even Sky ran some ads playing on the idea that not having the paid Sky channels is having it rough. So I really don't get it how this one can go over anyone's head in a UK subreddit, unless you're really so young that you can't remember the guy who was prime minister just a couple of years ago.

The reason I'm saying it's not both:

  1. The laptop has a trackpad, doesn't need another pointing device, yet it has a mouse. Also the mouse is not something that was taken out of the laptop to make it slimmer, if anything adding the trackpad makes it less slim.

  2. I've never heard of a laptop without speakers, and yet, external speakers.

  3. The laptop has a CD player, this is not the 90s, no one is listening to music on CDs.

  4. There's an external storage device, SSDs are very small, and don't actually get bigger when capacity increases. Quite the opposite, the more storage capacity, the smaller the lithography. So internal storage is also not a thing that is affected by slimness.

So there's really no external accessories in that image that are required.

People are calling the OP thick (not disagreeing there), but the amount of people who do what's in that image and don't realise the obvious thing that they're doing is enormous. I'm on the stream deck sub reddit, and I've seen people taking external screens and controllers with them on flights, to use with the steam deck. It's ridiculous.
