Just wind and sleet and disappointed bairns.

After they sold out and changed the recipe, Irn-Bru can get in the bin, as far as I'm concerned. Coca-Cola are the only ones that wouldn't fuck with their taste (presumably after the PR nightmare if classic coke in the 80s). Even pepsi has folded.

Of course most people don't give a shit, but I'm one of the smaller percentage of folk that taste certain sweetners as bitter, so basically all bar a few soft drinks now taste like perfumed paracetamol to me and my gang of genetically weird (I'd argue superior!) odd balls.

So yeah, Trump and his deluded cult can fuck off, but I'm sticking with coke.

Better check the capsule for kids first... "this is the one thing we didn't want to happen"

It looks rank, mate. And I enjoy Haggis.

I have no idea. I'm a vanilla, semi-norm who came from Reddit, mainly because they banned me after 15 years of active and mostly chill engagement.

I'm basically just a slightly opinionated guy who's interested in what other people have to say on a variety of subjects.

I'm only dimly aware of PieFeed. I like lemmy as it feels like early Reddit and I access it through the boost app on Android, which was the peak Reddit experience before they locked down the APIs.

I've no interest in spreading myself over multiple platforms - I just want access to other humans via the path of least resistance.

With this in mind, is PieFace better? And if so, in what way?

I agree. My real abhorrence, however, is for the countless bootlickers who themselves live in near poverty yet loudly support their overlords in a sycophantic and unquestioning fashion. These class traitors, masquerading as real Americans are as culpable as the mentally deranged hoarders they prop up.

I don't feel like there's a way to get through to these sheep-like collaborators, so it's difficult to imagine anything will change in the near future.

As someone who lives in rural Scotland and is old enough to have got married before the prevalence of these apps, I genuinely never expected to find the way most people hook up these days to be so utterly alien to my own lived experience.

I honestly don't know how I'd cope with having to curate myself for some dystopian line-up so that, if I'm lucky, I can end up on these depressingly transactional dates, only to get these polite but impersonal rebuffs.

In my day people just got drunk enough to speak to the opposite sex, and if you clicked and miraculously still liked each other the next day then you'd start 'going out' with each other.

I can see how that might sound awful to many of this generation, but it was pretty much normal for us. And as a pretty plain guy with a reasonable sense of humour it worked out pretty well for me.

The internet never fails to make me feel vanilla AF.

Feels like if he could just STFU he'd be golden. I remember when he was widely seen in a positive light. He was practically messianic on Reddit back in the day. Then his innate pettiness came out when he called that diver a peado. It feels like his mask slipped then and everything after just reinforced the fact that he's an unchecked and uncaring megalomaniac.

Depends entirely on whether or not it has an incognito mode.

I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator's voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.
