"Craft beer is a waste of time and effort to find a decent one, most are pure piss.
IPA is shite."
And by the time you find a decent one they've only about 3 fucking bottles of it in the fridge and you have to go through the processes of finding another one all over again. |

"There is no such thing as a 'property ladder' - it's an arbitrary concept designed to manipulate demand by instilling FOMO.
Is it not natural to want to buy your own home for most people "
I think that means the assumption that most people want to move from apartment to terraced house to 5 bed detached
When in Europe an apartment forever is grand |

Yeah see what you mean....the ladder concept
I think in the old days you bought your first house that wasn't your home
Your home was the one that came later but you could only afford it when your income increased |

That's it exactly 👍🏼
Wanting to buy your own home for life is perfectly natural but the notion that you're obliged to start at the bottom and stive to clamber up is not - it really boils my bacon! |

Squirt has been proven not to be pee and is similar to prostatic fluid.
To clarify, that's if the squirt is induced from G spot stimulation.
Any other methods most likely produce urine 
Check your method and colour of squirt, especially those of you collecting in a wine glass  |

"Organic farming is farming
Conventional farming is toxic chemical farming"
Organic farming outputs less food per acre of land, is far more expensive, is more prone to disease and pestilence, and the produce is indistinguishable from traditionally farmed food.
There is no available test to test if a food product is organic or not. They inspect organic farms to make sure they (appear to) follow the rules and gain certification, because that's the only way to tell in the absence of product testing (which is impossible, because as I said, there is literally no testable difference in the end product). |

Mental illness is the new hypchondriacs refuge and are seriously diluting the actual severity of acute mental illness. Too many shite therapists also giving terrible advice but its a cash cow so can charge what they like |

Hypochondria (now referred to as Illness Anxiety Disorder) IS a mental illness. |

Organic veg tastes completely different to traditionally farmed veg. Also traditionally farmed veg have traceable pesticide residue and chemical washes on the skin. |

Organic meat is a particular con, especially in Ireland and the UK as almost all animals are grass fed, outdoors for a large portion of the year, and only recieve medication as needed. |

No it doesn't. If there is a difference in taste between vegetables on a shelf then it's not because of the organicness. It's because it is a different strain that's grown more slowly or in different conditions. Natural Vs synthetic pesticides don't effect taste. Putting shite on the vegetables Vs other fertilisers doesn't effect taste. It's perfectly possible to grow veg using traditional farming methods that look and taste identical to organic farms. Supermarkets like upcharging a differentiated product. That's why there are these different product categories at different prices. |

I've grown (and worked) in Organics for years. This is simply incorrect. |

My point was, conventional farming is organic farming as farming was for thousands of years.
So called conventional farming nowadays is actually toxic chemical farming.
Any "organic farmer" not following the rules is just a money hungry c*nt. Real organic farmers do it because they care about their soil and nurture it and wouldnt dream about spraying it with toxic chemicals. |

Anal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. More often than not it’s a pain in the hole 😜
Soccer is about as shite as it is possible for a sport to be. It mystifies me why it’s as popular as it is. Plenty of better sports out there - pretty much any other sport actually.
All beer tastes like piss. Different varieties just mean tasting more or less like it. |

One more: telling people (especially men, but this can negatively influence women too) that size doesn’t matter is a terrible idea because it inhibits development of a mature and healthy perspective on the subject, presumably to protect fragile egos and also because people have difficulty with uncomfortable truths. This approach does more harm than good.
Size does matter, but there’s a lot of nuance behind that - to whom it matters, how much it matters to them, how much it matters in a relationship and how much it matters in the grand scheme of life itself. The truth is that each of these factors vary substantially between people, so for some it’s accurate enough to say size is unimportant while for others it’s very important.
So the message we should be sending is that yes: size matters. Not as much as you think, and not in the way that you think. What you have is going to be right for someone out there, and even if it’s not perfect for them, good enough is good enough.
Having said all that, I still wish I had a juggernaut in my pants because I reckon it’s more fun than not 😅 |

"Women should stop having children for a generation. The world is overpopulated. "
That has pretty much already happened. People are starting to have kids in their 30s instead of their 20s, which is the equivalent of skipping half a generation. |

Some people are cliquey, ignorant bullies, they don't get (sufficiently) called out on it for several reasons : some of their buddies enjoy the safety of their bullying clique, some guys don't want to ruin their chances of a ten to two ride if they can't find anyone more attractive, some people stuck in unfulfilling relationships are bitter and they let their bitterness seep out to anyone enjoying the freedom that they can't enjoy.
The bullies, pass time of bullying, reflects on them andtheir nastiness and not on their targets. |

"It is perfectly ok to cut parents and family from your life if it's needed.
Similarly, friends who only offer a one-sided friendship mostly based on you giving to them, can also face the cut."
100% agree.
It can also take a very long time to unravel family dynamics and mental health impacts Once you start to understand them, it's much easier to reflect and accept. The same goes fir friends and in laws (even fabbers). |

Agreed. I could see he was a total scumbag a mile off. Just the way he carried himself, complete lack of dignity. Shame, if he had an ounce of decency he could have been a great role model for young lads. They still worship him and his ilk but for all the wrong reasons. |
