You know those little things in life that people like to morally police and make you feel guilty about but you just can't muster up the shit to give?

This is a confession thread. I'll start.

I don't give a shit that you supposedly shouldn't feed bread to ducks. I don't care. Don't eat it then. People have been feeding them bread for decades and now we're supposed to bring them organic bloody walnuts or something? Or some other crap they don't want that doesn't float?
They can have my slightly mouldy bread and be grateful.

Over to you.

Your OP is disgusting and you ought to be ashamed of yourself, if you can't give them something that isn't harmful to them then just don't bother feeding the ducks if you have so little feeling or care for animals. Honestly might be the worst thing I've read on here, just mean, nasty and cruel.

Calm down 😄

I know it sounds awful, but I'm the same now. I watch a lot of news, and it gets to the point where I just switch off. I experienced the same with Ukraine. I couldn't watch/ listen anymore. It says a lot about the privilege of not having to live in a warzone, but that's what it is

Sometimes I think it’s that we are exposed to terrible problems that we are powerless to solve. It can make us feel so bad and it’s not our fault.

I prefer the duck debate. I give no fucks about the trans debate.

I've been dipping in and out of this thread all day trying to read the whole thing which is difficult because it gets longer every time I come back. I've skim-read the trans stuff, it's very boring.

Yep. Nothing that's not been said a million tomes before.

Did you know male ducks have a cork screw shaped penis? Duck sex sounds very painful. They poor female ducks need bread laced with painkillers.

brunettemic · 01/06/2024 16:26

I’ll tell you something I do care about…crispy duck and pancakes, can’t have a Chinese without it.

I've found one (of the pedantics), case in point katedel(whatever) I appear to have struck a nerve. Perhaps you can tell me what your problem is when I say princess Meghan, why does it upset you so?

I don't give a stuff what you call Meghan or anyone.

Fuck a duck

'Instagrammability', TikTok, Facebook, etc.

They don't 'help people stay connected'. They're addictive and fake. And lead to people taking far too many annoying selfies and blocking views, routes, etc for other people.

Matching sock pairs up.

Waste of time, in my opinion. Either buy a bunch of identical socks or rock the mismatched sock look.

The socks - Lol 😂 I make my DH buy all identical black socks. Several packs of 5 from M&S. I do the same with white socks/black socks for myself.

Just thought of a few more

Middle class family camping trips to trendy campsites or family festivals. I don’t care for camping. I don’t need to go to a local “farm” to do silent discos or rum & reggae nights (it’s not a farm if they run events!) while camping.

What is a silent disco?

@Tana433

HOW MANY TIMES??????

I have clearly made the distinction between biological women and trans women.

But you are so blinded by your transphobia you can't see past your bigotry!

Trans women are not biological women but they are women!!!

Get past your antiquated notions of gender and get in the 21st century!

Women, fighting for women's rights is .......... boring? Wow.

You would have made a great suffragette.

It does and regardless of having nothing to steal, who would want some arsehole rummaging through their stuff?

or shitting and pissing round your house, smashing stuff up and generally making it uninhabitable.

Pigeons. Someone posted on our village facebook group the other day that they’d seen a “slightly unwell looking” pigeon in the street. Lots of responses asking for someone to please take it to a wildlife sanctuary, or to the local vets.

Shoot the bugger 🤣🤣🤣

Despite what some might think, I am likely to give no rigid (or otherwise) shiny shites about those who make up utter drivel about others and spout it as if it is the truth. It isn’t big. It isn’t clever.

It is pathetic though. Know that.
