Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:
2 women walking past. One of them says:
“I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit.”
Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:
Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.
Nice guy, big smile.
Im getting major 1930s Spanish Civil war vibes.
British Private Schools:
Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23 Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25 and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25
This was my gut feel. Like the “Trip Wire” forces NATO members deploy along the Russian border States.
I’ve never really understood the 3D gun printing use case.
Yes, they can fire bullets but bullets are illegal where guns are illegal.
Am I missing something?
There were cases where decommissioned guns could be bought in the UK (firing pins removed). Gangs were recommissioning these guns by adding the removed components.
However, where do the bullets come from?
Bordeaux did something similar. They had parking garages on the riverside in the 1950s.
One of their Mayor’s had them demolished and turned into pedestrian space. He also limited the parking and built a tramway to incentivze the use of public transport.
Its a very nice place to go in the summer.
Map Men did a good video on this:

It was like corporate said “You’ve gone 6 episodes and we haven’t seen the antagonists tits. Spin the wheel… Add a hot tub to their space ship and have a bath scene for no reason.”
I used to get Cartoon Network as a kid. I watched Outlaw Star and really enjoyed it. However, in one of the later episodes they crowbarred in a topless jacuzzi scene for no reason.
That sums up my anime experience.
I watched Dragon Ball Z and a bit of Gundam Wing but never really enjoyed them.
I bump into Dragon Ball Z fans occasionally and they’re pushing 35 and have themed pillows etc. I think that is mad but I’ve met more than one person like that.
I have no themed things in my house nor would in buy any.
P.S. I enjoyed Samurai Jack and often say “Long ago in a different land” randomly to my partner.
Any recommendations based on the above?
One of the early chapters in The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins) covers this.
I also have this thought every few days. I’ll bring the irradiated nachos!
3x toots? That didn’t happen.
Is there a wiki for the best way to block ads per device type?
I’ve figures it out on Fire Stick (I know) and Firefox but I have no experience installing android apps via root or developer mode.
I remember watching an early reality show in the 90s/early 2000s. They had Brits, Yanks, Kiwis, Aussie’s etc. One morning they awoke to find their country’s flag burned.
The USA contestants seemed quite angry and the rest were ‘meh’.
This is a great write up.
Do you have any books/sources to recommend on this subject?
I’ve always been interested in klans persisting in the Middle East but dying out in Europe due (I’m told) to the Catholic church.
Any interesting sources would be greatly appreciated!
I highly recommend Accursed Farms (this guy’s) YouTube channel. His content is very well made and he seems like a good person (I’ve been watching for a lot of years).
Obligatorily: YouTube is crap statement, used piped instead.
They’ve got nukes though, and plenty of conventional fire power (compared to Ukraine when it was invaded).
They need to invest in a non US lead command structure as that’s all using US tech and personnel.
