Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Unfortunately my one allergy in life is garlic. Which is sad because it's in absolutely everything nowadays, it would be a lot simpler if I liked the smell and taste, but nothing about it agrees with me. Ginger is my antidote!

Eat ginger also. Both ingredients are commonplace in curry

A significant minority of cases of ADHD are actually FASD. It slips under the radar,
particularly in middle class families as a FASD diagnosis relies on the mother’s honest disclosure.

actually agree with this. FASD is massively underdiagnosed, which doesn't even make sense as it has subtle - but distinctive - visible traits

I hate men wearing shoes with no socks. Are they deck shoes? Those shoes must stink to high heaven with sweaty feet sliding about in them all day 🤢

People like Trump have never been nice, it’s just that when he was younger he probably had more self control and cared about appearances a bit more than he does now.

His niece, Mary Trump, who is a psychologist, wrote a book about him and their family life. He’s always been odious. Didn’t get enough love as a child. I haven’t read the book but I follow her online. She talks about when t
he was younger and her dad’s relationship with his dad etc.

Edited

Most things in life can be traced back to childhood. I think you and Mary are right though, he's in his dotage now and couldn't give a shit how he comes across, he certainly didn't express the bigotry in his 30s that he does now. It's awful what life does to people, he certainly hasn't improved with age!

Oh here’s one my daughter told me last week.

People who park badly should lose their license. 🤣 I think it’s a great idea tbh.

-The most vulnerable as children should be the most protected in any society .
-Religion has no place in a intelligent and modern society
-All the spending in renewable energies won’t work in slowing down global warming , as it’s cyclic and will always happen . We should be spending those billions on creating better defenses against climate changes .

David Attenborough is a hypocritical old bore.

I think he's a bit of a perv as well. Have a look at an old interview of him on the Graham Norton show. Cameron Diaz was genuine and innocent in her admiration of him but instead of having a nice moment with her, he turned into a sleazy, grubby old man moment. She handled it well but I think she must have been a bit disappointed, given that she must have experienced a lot of that already in Hollywood.

Yes - I often look at male leads and they are so mismatched in terms of appearance to the often beautiful female leads.

A lot of people in real life are incredibly complacent about child abuse and most don't see it as their responsibility to do anything - massive bystander effect. You'd be really suprised what supposedly trustworthy adults can know about whilst looking the other way because it doesn't suit them to rock the boat
