You obviously do otherwise you wouldn't go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... ^_^

Edit godammit some one beat me to it

Oh btw.. This is more of a laugh than a moan..

So I put three of my bikes on various websites. Ebay, Gumtree and Facebook. Nothing, nothing at all. Then last week the sun comes out and all of a sudden so have all of the messers and time wasters. But one tonight did make me laugh...

Her - "What would you take for the Hutch (one of my bikes)?"

Me - "That is what the "Make Offer" button is for"

Nope, As I said, That could only hold true if I went on and on about what other people on this forum think or do, I do not.

If someone has a differing opinion I don't get offended like a child and start putting forum members down, I let it slide as offense is for emotional children.

No instead you just put down society, women and the country you are lucky enough to live in and its society.

Any way, I thought you had me on ignore?

If I want to put down society I will, But it's not ALL of society I don't like, Just a certain segment that is quite toxic and it's not just England it's the state of affairs in the western world as a whole, It's only a certain part of the culture which influences people I don't like which I won't get into as I'll just be repeating myself.

And having someone on ignore doesn't really achieve anything hence you were on there for all of 2 minutes ^_^

Then I urge you to go and live in these other societies and see how they really are.

I am pretty sure you have seen that by now. Man accidentally bumps into another man, is arrested and jailed for touching him. Please, don't make me find all of the examples. You could live in Iran, where they basically hang people in town squares from cranes.

You strike me very much as a "Grass is greener" type of person, or, some one who just likes to continually complain. So, I will repeat what my mother said to me - there are people far worse off than you are. If you don't understand that put yourself into a situation you can't get out of that really sucks and see how that feels for yourself.

Either that or you are being fed a crap ton of BS from people in those countries who obviously seem to think they are perfect.

We used to treat women like crap here too, dude. It's nothing fun and it just makes you a head. Back in the 60s numerous women died having abortions because men used to just treat them like complete crap. Hell, even growing up my dad used to be a bit sexist. But that is OK, because you live and you learn. We stopped doing that now here dude. For a reason, it sucks. Women are not objects or slaves or for that matter anything else. They are human beings with brains and eyes and they see exactly what we see.

Come to Serbia mate. You will cry for England. 50% of all my friends went abroad. Me and another 30% are working on a way to get out. The remaining 20% have not rich but good standing families that have "equipped" them well. So they don't care if they stay or go. To where abroad... It doesn't matter. Everywhere is better than here.

Not liking a certain part of western society I live in which has become quite toxic in the last few decades doesn't mean I think it's better everywhere else, Just means I don't like 1 part of it, Doesn't mean I should go and live in countries like Iran that hang gay men from cranes in public, That's a bit of an extreme viewpoint to have when someone has a differing opinion.

As I said aggeesss ago, My ex boss is Russian, Brains, Morals and drop dead gorgeous to boot, Nothing but respect for her, I'm even going to go see her later this year, She lived in Berlin when I worked with her and in her words, I'm paraphrasing as she put it quite eloquently -

"This place is beautiful to look at and people are generally ok but beneath it morals are lacking in all the important places".

Which is why she moved back to Russia, And I couldn't agree more with her, It's not simply that people "have more choice" it's that many people are simply dragged up instead of brought up with morals and values instilled into them.

The remaining 20% have not rich but good standing families that have "equipped" them well. So they don't care if they stay or go. To where abroad... It doesn't matter. Everywhere is better than here.

But again these are extreme examples, It's 1 part of western society I don't like, 1, Not all of it, 1 part.

You strike me as someone who never lets anything go. If you can't accept his opinion then for the love of god all mighty IGNORE IT. Seriously this is a thread DEDICATED TO WHINING and complaining/venting. If it bothers you then hit that back button and go somewhere else on the forum.

Dice is entitled to come to FML and complain without having to be crucified about his opinion by people here who are supposed to be a family. That's the environment Tom has tried to create so let's keep it. If you don't agree that's fine but coming to debate and point fingers and spout nonsense in a thread dedicated to let steam off is just looking to stir crap up. This goes for everybody not just you.

We already went over this whole conversation and it was ended. Why you turned it into something I have no idea. Can we really stop beating the dead horse? It's just a pile of gibbets now.

Several people have complained in a thread about complaining that I should stop complaining in a thread about complaining, I'm filing a complaint about the people complaining that I'm complaining in a thread made for complaining !!!

Complainception !

I don't hate all women, far from it but I am done with trying to have a relationship of a "intimate" nature.

I still have female friends etc, and I know not all women are the same.

I just have bad luck when it comes to picking so I am going to stay single, and maybe one day she will come around and I will take that risk but I don't see it happening anytime soon.






So my latest thing to go "Wrong" Insurance renewal time for my car, gone up by £35 per year despite having an extra years no claims.

Jump on to comparison site and do a quote which last month was coming in at £405 per year is now £454 a year.

I don't get how having an extra years no claims, means I have to pay more for my insurance.

I will now post some logic. Tell me what you think....

All of the nice, decent girls are taken by the time they are about 23. They then get married, have children and become families. Barring becoming a widow that is it.

By 30 you may be lucky enough to catch one who married an a-hole.

After that? you're dealing with all of the nutters, hooers and weirdos. Or the disco bunnies (ones that go to clubs every week and shag some one else every week)

But that works both ways, though. Men do that too.

Remember when I said my dreams had already been shattered? that is what I meant. I met my wife when I was 24 and she was 18. However, we had no sexual contact or human contact unti she was 21. Mostly because her mother thought I was an axe murderer and threatened to have me arrested. We were both virgins then, so that was my dream. Marry a girl who has physically not been with any one else, and the same for me, get married and live happily ever after.

So that is why I never wanted to get married again, I just didn't see the point.

 

[g0ggles1994]

Well, RMA to do tomorrow.

PSU in my partner's PC died on us earlier today. First ever Corsair PSU to do so in my experience. Just hope this isn't a forewarning that my PC is going to fail on me. Her phone died then within a few days mine did. So going to be quite nervous for a while..

Was just out with a friend and walked passed some Antifa, Did not go well, Me and a friend were walking down the street and these Antifa creatures start shouting at me specifically because apparently to them I'm an Aryan Nazi youth poster child i.e blonde blue eyes pale and 6"2 dressed in a tight black shirt and black boots, Apparently wearing a black tight t-shirt, Black boots, Being physically in good shape, Having slicked back blonde hair and being white is grounds to be called a Nazi now.......even though most Nazis had brown hair and brown eyes :banghead:

Now my friend who is Jewish is wearing his yarmulke so that right there should be sign number 1 that I'm not a Nazi, Sign number 2 came when I said -

"Ever played Wolfenstein the video game ? I'm basically Blaskwicz, You know the blonde blue eyed Nazi killing Jewish man ? The main protagonist ?"

It went right over their heads, They didn't even want to try and understand, Of course I'm not Jewish as I don't practise but I do have Jewish forefathers, We just never continued the religious practise.

More swearing and accusations followed, Apparently I was deflecting and trying to make excuses for my "white privilege cis gendered nazi racism".

My friend and I kept walking as there were around 20+ of them and while they all looked like malformed amoeba's with dyed blue/green hair and faces full of piercings, 20+ against 2 wouldn't turn out well for my friend and I and as some of them looked like they were reaching into their pockets I'm quite sure I saw the glint of a few blades.

I don't know what's happening to society but this behaviour is becoming more and more common throughout Europe and that's quite frightening especially as these people are behaving in a very similar manner to pre WW2 Nazis and that should scare any sane adult.

I think one of the funniest things I have ever seen was when that Neo Nazi American idiot had a DNA test and they found he was of middle eastern descent. I was cracking up.

I used to get people taking the out of me when I wore my black clothes. Esp my Rob Zombie Tshirts. I will never forget the day I was walking down the road back from the doctor in my black cargos, black Timberlands and Zombie M-F Tshirt. A car honked at me and called me a prick. Then as I walk into the close where my mother lived they were parked in the car. Walked over, held my arms out and said "Any time mate" and he turned white.

Bus w****r idiots. Offered him a punch up and he crapped himself. His mate didn't look up to much either.

Yeah when these people are on their own they quite often start shaking when offered out.

IDK why they do it. I mean I did it when I was about 5 (not calling people names just giving them the finger etc) but you grow out of it. I think people in general grow up much slower these days. All of the danger has been taken away, so they are not learning valid life lessons along the way. Me? I fell on my face and smashed my teeth out, then I learned not to learn forward too far on a bike and etc.

I guess being a kid these days is pretty boring, beyond IphoneLife. Can't do this can't do that. What I don't understand is how parents who are my age have raised such a bunch of pansies. My era was nuts man. Even the bikes we rode were dangerous. And we still jumped them and stacked it.

 

[NeverBackDown]

I just laugh and keep walking. If they follow one good punch to the mouth will stop them. In my experience people don't like physical confrontation. They weren't taught to stand up for themselves. They just scream and yell... Wait. Who else does that? Oh 3 year olds! Lol

 

[Greenback]

If you want I can see if I can find my old Iron cross and swastika earrings i use to have when i was so much younger.
At least then they'd have a reason they could moan

Fed up with YouTube and the quality reduction in videos.

Spent all last week converting and uploading 14 videos to YouTube only to find that the quality at 1080p was like watching a old VHS tape that had been played a couple of hundred times, it was worse than watching a 360p video.

So for the last 2 day's I have been rendering and uploading videos to try and find which quality setting looks good enough.

At the moment the settings in Sony Vegas Pro 14 that gives the best quality on YouTube is:

Main Concept MP4, 135Mbps bit rate for video, 48,000hz, 192,000

That gives a file that is 15G for 15 minutes, but got a few more rendering and uploading at the moment to try, I might even try rendering at 4K and then looking at that to see if that makes the 1080p look better.

It would be nice if they didn't completely destroy the video quality on smaller file sizes.

Was at the gym, Surprise surprise, And started chatting to this really wonderful woman, About my age, Amazing personality, Absolutely stunning, My type, Pale skin like me, Dark flowing hair, Kind of gothic/alternative style, Big dark eyes, Basically a 30 year old Shannyn Sossamon.

Both of us flirting like crazy, I ask her out for a coffee and she says -

"I would love to, I REALLY would as we've got a real spark here, I haven't had butterflies in my stomach in years but I'm leaving for Canada in a few hours as I start a new job in a few days"

And she really was, Showed me her tickets just as proof to show me she wasn't lying.

Completely sucks.

Oh well, I was close, Here's to 8 years single :banghead:
