  • Why would you crowbar such an incongruous quote/sentence in there ? The causation is not the question really is it? If anything, the correlation begins to appear less like conspiracy and more like a cause for further genuine concern. “It’s not a conspiracy if they really are out to fuck me in the showers.” I’m paraphrasing but that seems like a much better conspiracy related quote.... by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 15th May 2019 10:50am)
  • As opposed to those who are trying to suppress it through some bullshit loyalty to some entity over the welfare of children? Promote away. If there is nothing to worry about then the discourse will be raised, it will run its course, be thoroughly examined, and everyone will be fine. Either that or it turns out to be as worrying as it sounds and transpires that you’re all more concerned about a fucking football club and it’s reputation than the welfare of the kids who grow up idolizing the boys on the pitch and dream of being one. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 15th May 2019 1:41pm)
  • I’m pretty sure that Marzipan guy said it was all a conspiracy theory though so should be fine. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 30th May 2019 3:36pm)
  • Will be kinda disappointed if he doesn’t. Although I’m also curious as to whether it is still viewed as a conspiracy theory based on his tenuous grasp of the English language displayed in the previous posting about this that I saw. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 30th May 2019 4:54pm)
  • Same unless someone stole his schtick. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 18th Jun 2019 2:15pm)

  • How very cool. Has all the things I like in a ‘random internet video’; cool parts my city, cute chicks and skills that are waaaay beyond me. The video itself is really good. Has lots of really nice production value and keeps your interest well (having such a good spread in terms of different skills helps a lot too) right through. And the drone movements aren’t just repeated as often as is sometimes the case either. I love people with skills that your brain tells you you can do but you know yourself how difficult they are. I like knowing that you live in my city and are somewhere doing cool stuff like this. Both of you, filming amazing stuff with drones and whirling plastic hops about like a crazy person. Good work peeps. Enjoy your day. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 5th Jul 2019 8:10am)

  • So they don’t have actual news but just a vague story where they get to say mosque a bunch of times. First class in terms of journalism there. “Breaking news, Police Scotland doing general work related activity. Might have something to do with a mosque so feel free to get pondering and simmering about that for now while we figure out if there’s actually anything going on....” by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 11th Jul 2019 8:40am)
  • Of course we do but that’s probably more related to being exposed to more American accents through things like cinema and music than your average Brazilian is exposed to Glaswegians. Although we are indecipherable we are largely nice and will take the time to repeat things and try ‘speak more proper like’ so don’t stress about it. Plus, a good ‘wild hand gesture’ will go a long way. by TheQuizlamicState (Sun 14th Jul 2019 9:32am)
  • I sincerely hope you’re not British. Nothing to do with any perceived auto-alliance to Oasis, just that the phrase ‘grown ass man’ is fucking ridiculous and even more so when coming out of anyone not American. by TheQuizlamicState (Mon 15th Jul 2019 10:53pm)
  • I read that as ‘writing’ instead of wiring and couldn’t get my head round what you were saying. Muppet that I am. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 1st Aug 2019 7:22pm)
  • Yeah , you’d imagine so at some point if you’re go far enough back. Can’t imagine there isn’t a way to slim down that massive bit on the modern one though. Really gotta go on the guided tour they do. Apparently it’s really interesting. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 1st Aug 2019 11:33pm)
  • Everything you said. Its weird huh? All the points you made, just strange things to have done. I’m glad someone else is as baffled as me. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 9th Aug 2019 12:11pm)

  • Same bud. I used to live in a bunch of other places and as soon as they found out where I was originally from it was always “which team do you support?” And always with a face expecting one of two answers. And always, without fail, looked at like I’m sporting an extra nose when I’m “not really into football” We’ve got more going on in our lovely town than arguments over our t-shirt. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 22nd Aug 2019 10:18am)

  • Bosh! And the overachieving continues. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 14th Sep 2019 9:37am)
  • Ha ha. And how has this magical clarity manifested itself? What was said that clearly Illustrates that I like to spike drinks? What i suspect is much more likely is that you may be most likely a silly cunt and can find whatever you want in whatever you read. Lucky the internet exists so you can let the world know and find a whole slew of other silly cunts who have little else going on who agree with you. Nothing in any of my responses suggests I spike drinks. Nothing in the original post was of any real substance. All very vague. No real narrative. No demonstrable incident of what was being claimed. Just random statement, mention of rumor and then big wooly closing statement. Between that and your ability to just read whatever you want, you two should get in touch and breed. Have a good day though. You’re a winner. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Go forth and conquer the world. You deserve it. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 14th Sep 2019 11:18am)

  • I echo that, great info in the response. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 3rd Oct 2019 2:01pm)
  • Second this. Not always cheap but I have a handful of stuff around 5e house I bought from them and it’s all been great, great quality, everything. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 3rd Oct 2019 6:11pm)
  • Wow. That’s pretty embarrassing eh? by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 5th Oct 2019 6:24pm)
  • What a weasel. If you go fifteen years, there was an NY Times bestselling book called The Game. By Neil Strauss. Actually read it and at the time, was actually intriguing. More for the first part where you learn how he learned about the subculture. And then the last third where there is a weird sort of autobio/Hollywood mansion narrative section of their exploits once he’s joined them. Weird how the world changes. Bestselling book topic to socially repulsive idea in the space of a teenager growing up. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 8th Oct 2019 9:35am)
  • The game was really enjoyable. I liked it a lot coz I went through a period of reading autobiogs at the time and had read all the Hollywood, eighties rock type ones so a lot of the stories Venn diagrammed with other stuff I’d read about. Haven’t read emergency. Tried to read the one after The Game but it was almost an outright workbook with activity and daily challenges like a fucking XBox title or something. I got it cheap or as a gift but wasn’t looking for a part time job at the time. Lol by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 8th Oct 2019 10:30am)
  • Yeah I think that’s why I enjoyed it as opposed to the follow-up, which really was a workbook/guide for guys that couldn’t just get the first hello and lines of chat out the way. That’s what I thought about the first one too when he was still doing genuine research. They over complicated ‘just say hi, what’s the worst that could happen?’ by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 8th Oct 2019 1:54pm)
  • They got eateries in Queens Park now? by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 19th Oct 2019 12:12pm)
  • Maybe it’s because you didn’t put that info into the title. Occasionally, the rest of the internet wasn’t there with you when ‘incident X’ happened, in times like this, there’s a useful space to put a descriptive title in. Gives people a sporting chance. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 19th Oct 2019 3:33pm)
  • Ha ha. Well look at you. Good work there. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 19th Oct 2019 4:12pm)

  • Love a good retro insult. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 22nd Oct 2019 11:47am)
  • Would be ‘an’ update buddy and I’m impressed you could tell from just driving by. I’m assuming you can smell your own. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 24th Oct 2019 7:41pm)
  • Look at you. Out there letting it all hang out. Don’t you let being stupid hold you back buddy. Three sheets to the wind or not at all. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 24th Oct 2019 9:07pm)
  • Ha ha. Did you get knocked back for being underage because you come across as if you’re twelve mate. If it’s any help, a lot of bouncers will let you in in exchange for a wee blowie round the back. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 24th Oct 2019 10:33pm)
  • Isn’t that what’s looking likely for the one on the other side of central? The one the guy refuses to do more than the min upkeep on. Ignorantly forgotten the name but it contained the word Egypt. Or something on the theme. Glasgow is gorgeous but some sky high metro city just won’t be the same. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 31st Oct 2019 11:48am)
  • Aim higher rather than literally build higher would be my favored option. Something set-piece but not ghastly. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 31st Oct 2019 3:58pm)

  • Are you describing libraries? by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 7th Nov 2019 4:16pm)
  • You can have a go but I didn’t. You’ll notice that if you read what’s there and not what you want to. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 7th Nov 2019 4:36pm)
  • Neither. I was pointing out that what they described sounded very much like a library. Which, coupled with the fact he also mentioned he was part of one of our glorious universities, suggested that the university would have a purpose built building for exactly what he described. You can tell that if you go back to the original comment and read the words that are there. Which is helpful if nothing else. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 7th Nov 2019 4:51pm)
  • I think you may have got a little over confident in your wit buddy. Yeah a classroom or library but how do you make the leap to a morgue? If you got in there in the first place to study, I would very much expect you to be hounded out. Cast your net a little wide. Valiant effort nonetheless. Keep at the uni though, clearly got a while to go before you’re all full up of the old edumacation. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 7th Nov 2019 4:56pm)

  • That little market across from thirteenth note. Go down the bottom of that towards the courthouse. It should be the second last thing on the left I think. Past the closed down wood shop guy. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 24th Jan 2020 11:09am)
  • A vegetarian version of something that can be described as “bits of dead animal stuffed into another bit of a dead animal” ? Why is this even a thing? Why keep calling things fake meat and stuff when the whole point is not eating meat? If vegetarians are so entirely against eating meat, why keep on trying to con yourself into thinking you’re eating the stuff? Seems ridiculous. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 25th Jan 2020 7:37pm)
  • Loving your work there. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 25th Jan 2020 9:54pm)
  • I don’t care what you eat. Was just genuinely baffled and curious as to the insistence on calling vegetarian alternatives names that are pretty much representative of something pretending to be meat. You eat whatever you like though. Can I recommend the ‘bag o dicks’, it’s very good. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 25th Jan 2020 9:53pm)
  • Chill out bean sprout. It’s not a trope. Curiosity leads to answers. And the occasional total cunt who comes across as really fragile in terms of their beliefs and ends wing s tantrum. But it’s usually s good thing. Curiosity. Not being a delicate muppet. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 25th Jan 2020 11:41pm)
  • Would certainly appear so. You should look into that. by TheQuizlamicState (Sun 26th Jan 2020 10:12pm)
  • Did this sound hysterical in your head? Bet it did. Life’s just full of small disappointments. Phone your folks, I imagine they ’ll tell you all about it. Quality banter though. As long as you set your standards low enough. Gives you something to build from I suppose. Everyone needs goals. Keep at it though. Be the witty genius you envision. Make it so. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 6th Feb 2020 12:12pm)
  • Well look at you joining in. You go girl. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 7th Feb 2020 6:04pm)
  • But how is being gay more shameful than walking about town in ridiculous outfits with your mate tootling merrily away on his penny whistle? At least most of the bum sex happens inside where you can’t see/hear it if you don’t want, I hear a million more tunes on penny whistle and snare than I would really like to ever. Roll on the bum love says me. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 12th Feb 2020 12:19pm)

  • I can only assume this was witty in your head before you typed I out? Out of context/outside your head, it makes no real sense. You seem to assume that anyone else in the world give a flick who ‘Arden young toon’ are. Imagine the rest of the world cared, what the funk are you on about, or is it just another bunch of wee wasters who think they’re awesome cos they invented an acronym? by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 7th Mar 2020 9:36pm)

  • Seconded. A certain gravitas wether the photo itself has any or not. Give it a wee black and whiting and a little faked age/damage and it’d look like a warning from the past. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 2nd Apr 2020 4:16pm)

  • This, this is how they always seem to end up with eejits! It’s only eejits out and about just now. Goddammit. If they keep choosing the most inopportune times or places to do their bloody abductions, it’s no wonder they keep getting the crazies that love a pooper probe and memory wipe. by TheQuizlamicState (Mon 6th Apr 2020 10:40pm)

  • I’d say I care a smidge more than I care about your opinion. Possibly. And I don’t really care about your random sweeping points at all so imagine. by TheQuizlamicState (Sun 31st May 2020 12:00pm)
  • What the fuck was that? Are you trying the fifty monkey and fifty typewriters approach to the internet because I find it pretty difficult to believe that an English speaking person wrote that gibberish. Is there a second part to come that has your point in it somewhere? by TheQuizlamicState (Sun 31st May 2020 1:55pm)
  • So no point to be made still no? Yeah, I’m raging mate. You can tell from the messages. Muppet by TheQuizlamicState (Sun 31st May 2020 2:03pm)

  • Makes complete sense. Nobody else should be out to see it so the only people affected directly are already with you and against ‘a bit of the old ultraviolence’ in the first place. Preaching to the choir and whatnot. by TheQuizlamicState (Mon 1st Jun 2020 11:20pm)
  • Spot on. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 10:22am)
  • Yeah this. Information is pretty much everything in these situations. I always think it’s a bit fucking rich and cringey when people start demanding that sort of thing. If it wasn’t for ‘insert ye olde, turned out to be a wrong ‘un through a modern lense, character from our past here’ the city wouldn’t be anything it is today. You want to pretend that history never happened or do you want to live in a modern city. You want to rename Glassford Street but you still want the Merchant City end of town to be nice for you to hang out with your girlfriends in and blather about how important avocado is to maintain that shiny orange skin tone you’re sporting. It is what it is. If the name of the street is enough to offend you then perhaps going outside might not how you want to spend your days. History happened. It wasn’t all good. But at the time they were making the best decisions they could at the time. Often failing miserably but I imagine they would have done it all different if they knew you’d be critiquing them from the comfort of hundreds of years away. Standing on the shoulders of giants is fine. Denying they’re under you is not. Its embarrassing and irresponsible. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 10:21am)

  • Yah buddy. I’m all about slavery. I often times wonder if I’m more upset about missing the years of Mark Bolan and T-Rex and all that great seventies stuff my old dear loved when I was growing up or Apartheid. Imagine the fun huh? Don’t be such a tool. I didn’t say I was okay with slavery but whether I am or not, or whether you virtue signal about it on the internet or not, matters not a jot. It happened. Still happens. And if we continue to pay too much attention to whiney little self righteous cunts like your adorable self, then we are quite likely to miss opportunities to get a handle on current parallel issues that might matter cos there’s not enough time in the day mate. History is history. Learn from it or continue to make the same mistakes. But here you are standing on the shoulders of giants, looking for kudos for saying the right stuff on the internet. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 12:21pm)
  • It’s not edge dude it’s just realist. If you can think of a way to affect the past then I’m all ears. In the meantime, I’ve not put much time aside to waste listening to ineffective virtue signaling. And even less to pretend it has any real validity. Unless. Could maybe give it a try with one single street and see if all those chaps in Minneapolis feel any better about it? Or if it brings that man back from the dead so he can continue to feature in his family’s life. I’m not overly confident but in the interest of exploring all the options I’m in if you are. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 1:16pm)
  • Where was anything even remotely similar to absolution suggested? My attitude is more that all the bitching in the world won’t change it. That someone hundred years later has absolutely ZERO associated guilt to worry about just cos they’re the same hue as ‘someone what did bad stuff in the old times’. And you take all the offense you want mate, but like it or not, slavery, empire and theft pretty much built the cosy world you’re lucky enough to live in. Me too. But I’m not going to suddenly be all guilt stricken and feel I’ve got soooooo much making up to do if I pop on Who Do You Think You Are and it turns out that my great great granddaddy was a tad unsavory. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 2:11pm)

  • I bought a PlayStation, bass and a ninja star in there all in the same interaction as a teenager. Even seeing all those words in a row looks made up, but we all know it’s true. They had EVERYTHING in there. Doesn’t it still exist somewhere else in town? by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 3rd Jun 2020 11:03pm)
  • There’s no implication. Just read the actual words themselves. It’s quicker and easier. Less about suggesting it being frequent and meant more that they were linked. Reading about the history and then thinking “oo-er that sounds bad. I like to show my worldly mindset as often as I can. We should all be ashamed and embarrassed about this, I’d best tell everyone.” Cue suggestion on internet. I think the person who liked the Berlin idea had the best reply to the original post. It’s fine to acknowledge it but trying to whitewash it feels disingenuous. I do find it genuinely interesting though and hopefully that helps steer me away from a life as a slave-owner. by TheQuizlamicState (Thu 4th Jun 2020 3:20pm)

  • Why the weird distinction between anti black and anti brown? Is there a difference? At the risk of it being an unpopular opinion, the instant I read your comment I instantly felt that it smacked of either racism or hypocrisy. You choose. In the meantime it might be worthwhile having a wee read into racism and it’s definitions. Unless you’re more akin to the modern version of racism which seems to allow you cut it conveniently into little pieces so you can apply it piecemeal wherever it’s needed and convenient. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 9th Jun 2020 11:46am)

  • Very cool. Weird how you can be from Hamilton/Blantyre, be fully aware of how relatively shitty our corner of the country is, but still dig just a teeny weeny amount and find that it’s somehow absolutely BURSTING with history and whatnot. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 9th Jun 2020 1:21pm)
  • I was just curious why you’d mention the apparent distinction unless to point out how your racism is more noteworthy in some way. Which seemed disingenuous. I could be entirely wrong. I put just stood out. by TheQuizlamicState (Tue 9th Jun 2020 4:47pm)

  • That’s alright ya know buddy. Wasn’t expecting much as I’m not as into ambient/tech type stuff as I once was but I enjoyed that. I really started to like it once you threw the breakbeat in for the last couple minutes. Was just enough but not overpowering, filled in just the right amount of the spaces. It’s well put together on the whole. Nice work. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 10th Jun 2020 8:46pm)
  • Yeah. And since when did we just roll up homeless and poor into ‘civilians’ a’la number 23? “Oh don’t mind the ruffians and raggamuffins, they’ll thin out once we get further towards mine/home. But they ARE adorable, aren’t they though?” Fairly dehumanizing. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 17th Jun 2020 1:44pm)
  • They’re fascists though are they not? Why do people/papers/news outlets keep on pretending that it isn’t the case? “Knuckle dragging local fascists keep turning up and ruining shit for everyone” would surely be a more representative headline than most of the weird playing it down that keeps going on. Italian football fans walk up a couple streets for an hour or two when they pop over for some sport spectating and everyone is up in arms but when we do it ourselves, it’s played down to all hell as some sort of protest or activism. Since when do asylum seekers who aren’t getting meals they feel are suitable, in accommodation they feel alienated in, have ANY interest in trying to pull down statues? It’s farcical. “They’re off-white, that’ll do for me lads. Get your sticks, we’re off out for the day.” by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 17th Jun 2020 11:52pm)
  • And what does throwing it all, without anything whatsoever to substantiate it, on social media achieve? Other than making it look like your union, or at least you yourself, are ridiculously unprofessional. I’d have zero confidence in a union that uses Reddit to air grievances whilst they’re still ongoing/unresolved etc. (On an issue centering around social media use, which I find deliciously ironic.) by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:08pm)
  • What you getting at? by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:13pm)
  • I dunno what I’m clearly not seeing but that looks like exactly what they’re doing? How does it being on Twitter mean that it’s not? Why are they sharing it here at all? Or twitter? If I were paying dues to a union on the offchance that I ever needed them, I would be a little bit disappointed to discover that the money I had invested was used to slander the company on social media when I was expecting more of a professional, measured, legal approach to my issue(s). Or if I were a business within the industry that would have to deal with the union in question, I would find it harder to take them seriously if their approach to issues was to jump on social media and kick up a stink like a child. Without having seen the process through to its conclusion. Or without including any pertinent proof or specifics. And if they did, I’m pretty sure I would look into taking action against it myself. Are you the person that got fired or something because I can’t see how any other rational thinking person would see this as the way to get my grievance resolved. It’s ridiculous. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:26pm)
  • What examples specifically though would you compare it to? This is just a single individual’s complaint, that, from the little that was posted, hasn’t even been looked into or resolved. If you PM me a profile pic I will get on to posting that I heard you’re a murderer and have a history of banking fraud. What’s the difference? Other than me not being a professional body and having standards to be obligated to. Would it not be better to see their appeal/investigation through and then take to the public once they have something more solid to present. This is just he said she said but from a professional union body. What a fucking world we live in. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:34pm)
  • I wouldn’t say moaning. It just seems counterproductive. Either way, twitter or Reddit, doesn’t matter. If they hadn’t splashed it onto twitter then it wouldn’t have been shared from there. Just take out ‘on Reddit’ and replace with ‘on twitter’ from my salty moan. Anyway. Just seemed unprofessional and not what I would have expected after having been paying union dues. I could bitch and moan on twitter myself for free. Although that seems to be where all this began so maybe not the best plan. What’s the difference you suggested? Other than twitter and Reddit being spelt differently. Professional grievances on social media is still professional grievances on social media. I’m not trying to start an argument at all. It might just be me. But it seems ridiculous and undermines what I would have gone to the union for in the first place. But I’m not s teenager so maybe I just don’t get it. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:39pm)
  • Why aren’t unions professional bodies? Because they aren’t usually paid positions? I think we can at least try to agree that even if they aren’t strictly professional bodies, you would expect at least a modicum of professionalism when they were dealing with your issue? More than spraying it all over social media at least. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:44pm)
  • My statement outright SAID they were using Reddit. Cos they are. I can tell, because I don’t use twitter at all so must have seen it on Reddit. Why would you wade through the dozens of words in a comment and deliberately only read the least pertinent ones? Down that road embarrassment lies. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:42pm)
  • Mate. After being a social media manager for a national company and seeing first hand how it is used, by straight up adults specifically, I really don’t think you can get at me for thinking it’s more for teenagers. And if not, for those that still think and act like them. If there weren’t avenues for a union to follow in these circumstances, then fair enough, but to circumvent that and go straight to twitter, seems a bit closer to teenager behavior that responsible adult. Given the option, I’d rather sit down meeting and see what they can do than bitching on social media. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:47pm)
  • Just replace Reddit with social media and we are back in the game. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:56pm)
  • Arguing about the use of the word “professional” isn’t really the point no matter how much you focus on it. We can agree to disagree on the rest. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 3:56pm)
  • Yeah, think we crossed wires a bit. I haven’t seen twitter for years so all I have to pull from was seeing this on Reddit. Which seems out of order to me. But it’s the way of the world now if I’m forced to admit it to myself. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 4:02pm)
  • All fair points. I think it’s just more related to my issue with twitter/social media being an absolute shitstorm of bitching and moaning. If nothing is done through the prescribed avenues then I’m all for public outing and whatnot. Maybe I just have too low an opinion of twitter in general. Old and stuffy is becoming something I’m having to come to terms with I think. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 4:00pm)
  • It was one word of many. The more pertinent word or concept was professionalism. Or lack thereof. If I were more akin to airing my grievances on social media I probably wouldn’t have had anything to say, but I’m not. It comes across as pathetic but I’m in the minority here, I know that. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 19th Jun 2020 4:16pm)
  • Unfortunately I was yeah. And from the way people use twitter as a loudspeaker for their issues, issues they’ve not got the gumption to mention to someone in person, I can’t but help its either purely aimed at teenagers or used most effectively by/as if you were, a teenager. The same way most of the people you encounter on here I’ll have fuck all in person but are oh-so-very vocal from the comfort of their desk at home. Granted it can, but rarely does, have a much more focused and functional use, it is, unfortunately, populated largely by teenagers and adults who can’t help themselves when it comes to acting like one. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 20th Jun 2020 5:02pm)
  • This is great. The doc itself is really, very well put together. You’ve got some serious ability, but I’m assuming you already know that. I love how we live in a world where ‘any old person’ can put something like this together because, even though there is some absolute drivel about, slapped together and struggling to frame a point, you get some seriously great stuff like this. I would watch your work regardless of the topic. You’re a talent dude. Doc making is clearly what you’re good at. Nice work. Genuinely keeping an eye out for what you do next. I really enjoyed that. by TheQuizlamicState (Sat 27th Jun 2020 12:55pm)

  • Yeah. Fuck the rules eh. They’re for everyone else. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 1st Jul 2020 1:32pm)
  • I dunno, you’ve made the link. As far as I’m aware though, there ARE rules and guidelines with regard to dog ownership and conduct in shared spaces and parks? If not then I would assume it’s a free-for-all? In which case, why bother buying food at all, just nip down the park with your savage dog and let it graze on all the tasty other smaller dogs running around. If you’re telling me that they’re are no rules whatsoever then I apologise and stand corrected. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 1st Jul 2020 3:57pm)
  • I’m assuming whatever rules are in place that stop everyone just leaving their dog do what they want. Or whatever rules there are in place that give people recourse whenever these types of things happen. Are you suggesting it’s just a free-for-all ? If so, I didn’t realise and stand corrected. Apologies but I thought there were at least guidelines and rules. Genuinely. by TheQuizlamicState (Wed 1st Jul 2020 4:04pm)

  • Yep. And their ‘monitoring’ seemed to consist of having a paper sign on the wall with a qr code to scan so you can just pop the store number in and be done. Except none of the signs had the store number added. I hated myself for going in there in the first place but literally couldn’t avoid it. First time in about five years too.

  • Really mate? Fair enough if you can’t be arsed using google but I would at least put the effort in to make sure you avoid getting sent details for someone at the other end of the country. Or various other things that would be avoided by having the decency to provide people with the bare minimum of info when you’re looking for a favour to appear from the sky for free. Choose a city, any city, preferably the one you’re in or plan to be seen in. Tell people that. Instantly appear like less of a self centered and inconsiderate arse. Bosh.

Was making the point that they’re relatively scummy and the street is rife with it/people like them. All factual points. What’s your horse in this race? Or do you just need something to white knight about online this week because if you’re pro ‘junkie lives matter’ and less interested in ‘people should be able to move through the city without being harassed’ I suspect you might not get much legs out of it. by TheQuizlamicState (Fri 21st Aug 2020 9:14am)

It’s nothing to do with COVID and neither is it a new concept. Don’t fuck people with AIDS unprotected, don’t let your mate Steve with hepatitis spit in your eye, those kind of things. Fuck me.

That’s also not how English works either. by TheQuizlamicState (Mon 4th Jan 2021 12:11pm)
  • Why not? Other people do. If you’re going to make stupid hyperbolic associations then expect people to notice the holes in what I’m assuming you’re calling your logic. Or it’s easier to participate in discourse if you take in the whole response and not the bits that you like. Did the next line not say something a long the lines of “but that doesn’t make it right Or sensible”? Or something similar. If you going to go out of your way to willingly be stupid then that’s on you buddy. Just try keep out of everyone else’s way. by TheQuizlamicState (Mon 4th Jan 2021 12:18pm)
