One annoying phrase I'm seeing a lot:
A year ago I quit ( my job / smoking / drinking / eating / some other boring shit )
A year ago I quit ( my job / smoking / drinking / eating / some other boring shit )
Twitter style and tone
- Thread starter shiels
- Start date

I'd be dead impressed if someone gave up eating and could tweet about it a year later.

Sorry, should have prefaced that with "ngl".

I found myself suddenly suspended on twitter. It said I used hate speech.... this was the offending tweet which I had produced in response to some question about which Tory ministers had got away with crimes or whatever with virtually no punishment
Was kinda weird cos that was a very tame tweet as far as I can see. Also, it said "do not try to evade this by creating other accounts etc or we will make it a permanent ban" but the small print said the ban was indefinite anyway which is pretty much the same in my book. Anyway, I waited a few days to see if anything would happen and then I messaged them an appeal saying that the tweet for which i was banned was a mixture of the undeniably true and the clearly tongue in cheek, they replied saying they would take a few days to check it and then....
A strange and rather pointless episode as far as I can see. Not sure what triggered it.

There's one around football that really pisses me off where one eyed fans of (INSERT CLUB BUT MORE LIKELY PLAYER HERE) compare their fave to another amazing player and say there's no competition. They use phrases like "My striker is clear" and "There are levels to this game" or similar. It's most acute around Messi and Ronaldo/ Barca and Madrid but can cover other stuff too. From what I can gather, it's not Spaniards or Catalans obsessing over these guys either

I went on a psychotic field trip in middle school at this boot camp style recreation park where they made the students all climb this 40 foot pole, get both feet directly on top of it (was about the diameter smallish sewer grate), and then jump off before the harness caught in front of the entirety of your peers. Worst of all is that it probably did instill in me some positive personal growth.
