Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

[edgie]

my job is shit, i don't get paid enough, i can't afford a house, products are shit now, i don't have any choice as a consumer, things keep getting worse.

IT'S THE IMMYGINTS!

my brother in christ, this is literally the end goal of capitalism. a concentration of wealth and power at the top, and every single product/service becoming a monopoly/duopoly/oligopoly. number must go up infinitely for those at the top!

But isn't boosting population through high immigration a great tool of capitalism to grow those numbers?

The bad acting, tacky special effects, and weird plots are the main drawcards!

I love the wiki summary of Blood for Dracula:

the decapitation scene in flesh for frankenstein is one of the most glorious moments of crappy special effects in cinema history

A mate of mine many years ago when I lived in Adelaide, his wife was a screw at the prison von Einem was in.
This was not long after he got sentenced, she told me his cell was decked out better than most people’s homes.
He was allowed to have a lot of his personal stuff in there.
Remember her saying he was one of the most hated inmates there.

He was also the guy you went to for a haircut apparently

“He came into the council offices wearing a long skirt, lipstick and nail varnish,” a local official said.

Decent effort I'd have let him claim it.

And the bastards will probably put them in a men's prison.

Well its been an unusually cold November in Adelaide. Insiders believe its the reason we didnt get the 2026 Climate Change Conference.

Considering I’m told constantly that the temperature is getting hotter each year by experts I reckon Perth had the coldest winter I’ve ever had here in over 20 years.

uh, you realise those two things aren't necessarily incongruent?

and winter was almost bang on average anyway:

• The mean daily maximum temperature for Perth Metro was 19.2 °C, which is 0.2 °C above the long-term average of 19.0 °C.
• The warmest day was 26.1 °C on 13 August 2025, and the coolest day was on 25 August 2025 when the temperature reached 11.4 °C.
• The mean daily minimum temperature for Perth Metro was 8.4 °C, which equalled the long-term average of 8.4 °C.
• The coldest morning was 0.3 °C on 25 July 2025, and the warmest morning was on 19 August 2025 when the minimum temperature was 15.3 °C.

so it seems like the steadily warming winters of the last 20 years have made this years "close to historical average" winter feel comparatively cold.

I get up early in the morning and it was cold as. I’d say the minimum temperature wouldn’t have been as low as you’d get in Adelaide but it just never warmed up.
A lot of days with 14 degrees being the max plus a howling wind.

Reminds me of those AIDS commercials back in the 80’s/90’s.

Tredrea was right about the covids

What in your opinion was he right about? That vaccine wasn't that effective, or that the 5g Jewish space lasers downloaded from robo-biden causes the laylines to integrate reptile Clinton baby eaters?

The first bit. The second bit is inconclusive.

Robot Biden is the best real world meme to come out of the last few years.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Step 1: Let's make a robot
Step 2: Lets make it have clear signs of old cognitive decline.
Step 3: "I love kids jumpin' on my lap."

Perfect.
