Exactly what s/he was doing. Sat like that chattering it's teeth for at least 10 minutes.
Think it's worked out I'm the one that leaves it peanuts.

Company while washing up 🙂

I watched that grow, and winced for you.

Everything normal people like is going away because the super-rich are sure they can make enough money by destroying the planet that they'll be able to afford what little is left

Cocoa prices have soared after poor harvests in the key growing regions of Ghana and Ivory Coast over the past three years, amid extreme temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns driven by the climate crisis.

Random question Ian. I bought the XenoMorph but because I'm not into models generally, what do I need to stick it together?
Also, can I drill into his head, cos I want to make him into a Xmas tree decoration?

This has put an end to this conversation. I refuse to engage with nonsense.

I've tried them. They are marginally better than the 'root veg' bullshit.

Before you block accounts like this, go through their followers list and spend 5 minutes blocking each and every one.

(If people that have been dumb enough to follow back get caught the net, so be it. Stop blindly smearing this shit all around just to gain followers)

I joined Bluesky 6 hours ago, have not said anything rude or abrasive, and I'm already blocked by over 58,000 people.

MAGA folks don’t understand that the culture of Bluesky involves everyone just blocking people they don’t like without any engagement.

They think they’re “shadowbanned” by some unseen force from above.

I'm shadowbanned on bluesky. As soon as you say anything remotely conservative, you get shadowbanned and no one can see your posts there. I can't even make fun of these folks there.

I did buy some posher stuff from Sainsburys which was very nice. But I 100% chose it because it had a 'added sugar' option.

Ro, The Viscous Spinster @boredoftheoldone.bsky.social · 11h

Sugar though...

Tbh, I was semi ok with it in the first tweet (rural communities yada-yada). Then 'the mater drove me to house parties' hit, and I was, oh, fuck this guy.

Ro, The Viscous Spinster @boredoftheoldone.bsky.social · 11h

Hummm, added sugar 🤤

It's a reflection of a psychological addiction. Nothing more.

Also, frankly, I think all wine tastes shitty. I'll drink it, and some taste better than others, but never once have I thought, 'You know what this nice thing needs? Wine flavour'

Ro, The Viscous Spinster @boredoftheoldone.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah. That's not gonna happen.

Oh, she managed that, regardless.

She was like a real life verision of people that double down after misinterpreting a shitpost.
