I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.
Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!
This went non-casual quite quickly, I see. In the spirit of the post:
-
I don’t find Greg Davies funny
-
Wales should be represented on the flag, but not by putting a dragon on it. Wales has a patron saint’s cross like the other three do. Keep it consistent
-
We really need to work together with Ireland to figure out a better name for our shared archipelago, because “British Isles” is rude to our neighbours, “British & Irish Isles” is too long, and “Islands of the North Atlantic” is soulless
-
Nando’s is shit
Ey what the fuck, this post is two years old? It only just popped up for me
-
Tea bags without a little string on it is weird.
Then again, I’m european and have only ever visited Edinburgh so I don’t think my opinion counts, Anglophilic as I may be.
I’m going to just go ahead and run into oncoming traffic…
Northern Ireland should be given back to Ireland.
England, Scotland, and Wales should become independent countries with an open border & trade policy between them and the newly reunified Ireland.
And any of those countries should be free to choose to rejoin the EU if they have not already done so.
:)
Being the casual community I’d hope that people would stay clear of politics to keep it light hearted, but looking at the community rules it doesn’t prohibit politics.
ETA: I’m proud to have the only genuinely controversial opinion in this whole thread. You’re a bunch of wet-knickered, limp-lidded, pussy-willows.
As usual people are fucking idiots so you may need to sort by controversial…
- Autism is over-diagnosed - being a quirky introvert is a LONG fucking way away from Rainman style shut ins who literally can’t function without adult carers.
- ADHD is overdiagnosed - it’s just middle class mummies being upset their son isn’t a 7A* genius and insisting the doctor prescribe performance enhancing drugs. As a former stimulant addict I know I would be a grade-A genius if I was prescribed fucking meth daily. That doesn’t mean you have ADHD. It means you’re taking drugs. The whole ‘oh my god I suddenly felt “normal” after taking my meds’ is precisely how I and other stim addicts feel taking meth/stims. It turns you into Superman, that’s what it does. EVERYBODY reacts like that when taking ADHD drugs.
- Femboys are fucking annoying - I don’t find it cute or endearing to infantalize men. That includes the stupid craze of “programming socks” and Linux fem boys. I like men to be men (I’m gay).
- Downvotes on Lemmy/Reddit are only to be used for spam - Moderation was done by the users by downvoting. This was the rule back in Reddits early days. It’s even still written in Reddiquette that downvotes are not for disagreement. If you disagree you’re encouraged to comment why. This meant early Reddit had a lot of great debates and discussion. Moderation was almost non-existant. After the influx of Digg and users who didn’t know WTF they were doing that was lost and moderators got heavy handed. Unfortunately Lemmy has got Reddit mods so it’s happening here too.
