The .. what made you ponder today thread

[Mystic Mock]

I only agree about the sports thing. If people don’t like a trans.-woman using a women’s toilet, they should just deal with it.

I personally think that a vote needs to be held to women in this country, on if they're comfortable with Transwomen using their bathroom.

And whatever the result ends up being, is the direction that we take going forward.

Why don’t the masses ( the vast majority) just return to the two generally accepted terms of female and male .

There’s only about 1 in a 1,000 who understand all the different options available so why are we all dancing to their tune ??

Cisgender is just another way of saying you've remained the sex you were born as to-date and aren't trans. It's not a sexuality to identify with. Just a pure descriptive distinguisher.

You are just typical someone who is not engaged in the topic and as such sees any criticism as "phobia"

Its the same as the hate JK Rowling gets for pointing out basic science and common sense, for example

like when that teacher educated the pupil who stated that JK was a transphobe bigot

its very similar situation tbh

Would you really see Nadia from BB5 as an Aidan? Because I know that I wouldn't tbh.

Even though I know that biologically you're correct, I do just see Nadia as Nadia.

And also who can forget TIBB's Sensible Scarlett? I don't think after all of these years of knowing her on here that I could see her as a dude.

And that's not me saying that we shouldn't acknowledge Biology because of liking certain Transgender individuals, because unfortunately we can't ignore Biology in certain physical activities such as Sports.

And obviously I do feel that if most women are uncomfortable with Transwomen using their bathrooms, then as it is the women's Bathroom, then their wishes should be respected.

But I feel like sometimes even when the Trans community isn't doing anything wrong, there will be vitriol towards them, like the Bud Light advert.

Interesting.. I always regarded Nadia as a bloke .. Nadia was often argumentative and quite domineering at times ( male traits) amd fell out with quite a few people in both UK Big Brother appearances


Well we were told .. plus the voice , jawline , hands / feet , walk etc - were all fairly masculine imho no

There was a time he went all the way down to Sussex or so (wherever “Mollie” was living at the time) for one or two reasons but mainly to see her, and that’s when he realised “she” was a hoax. There was a whole drama about it on here. I’m surprised you don’t remember it.

Football rules when we were kids.

1. - The fatty was always the goalkeeper
2. - The game ended when everyone was tired
3. - Even if the score was 20-0 whoever scored last won.
4. - No referee.
5. - Give a foul only if it was very clear or someone started to cry.
6. - There was no such thing as offside
7. - If the owner of the ball got angry, the match was over.
8. - The two best players couldn't be on the same team and they knew that too.
9. - If you were chosen last, it was a big humiliation, it meant nobody wanted you.
10. - you even played 2-3 hours in a row.
11. - The match was stopped when an elderly man passed by
12. - Neighborhood players were enemies forever.
13. - Those who had no idea about football remained reserves or at maximum defenders.
14. - When the big ones were playing, you had to leave the field without protesting.
15. -There was always a neighbor who wouldn’t let you play and threatened you to take the ball and put it inside.
16. - If there was a bet, the game was very serious as if it were a final.
17. - The goals were two rocks or two jackets, but there was always a team with the smaller goal.
18. - When the goalkeeper was pushed, the goal was invalid.
19. - The rules were established before the match even started.
20. - If it was a penalty, remove the fat one and the best one goalkeeper would appear.

Why society is okay with "facing the consequences" for expressing a controversial opinion?

Personally I only like people's lives to be ruined once it's become clear that their actions are monstrously evil, but society at large currently disagrees with me on that, and I would like to hear someone explain why the current dystopian way that society is running itself is actually a good thing?

I swear by that the dystopian way society currently is, is the reason why so many people have poor Mental Health, because they're not allowed to express themselves freely without facing life changing consequences.

If Pinocchio’s nose only grows when he tells a lie and then he states “My nose is about to grow”. As soon as he says this, does his nose grow or does it stay the same?

If his nose doesn’t grow, then he’s lied but at the same time it’s impossible to grow because if he’s said that his nose is about to grow and it actually grows, well then he’s told the truth, but his nose only grows when he tells a lie and if it doesn’t grow, he’s told a lie.

The donut is like the bagel's more exciting cousin. The bagel is a good and reliable fella, works in an office and goes to his daughter's recitals, etc., etc. Meanwhile the donut is going on fashion shows, fun runs, hiking, doing extreme sports like surfboarding and whatnot.

Meanwhile the bagel is like 'Well, I cross referenced this spreadsheet with the fax they sent us from our office in Surrey, and er, yeah it looks like we're missing a whole bunch of staplers.'

Nah, just steer clear of Serious Debates, and when you do pop in just take it all with a pinch of salt. You'll soon realise it's the same people, having the same rows, and saying the same old things every single day. Don't worry about it.

As for the women in men's football, yeah they have been rushed in, and yes those names you mentioned in the deleted thread are awful and talk utter crap. They are just really BAD, same as Lee Dixon, Johnathan Pearce, Owen, McManaman etc. I think maybe you let it get to you too much, but you're not wrong. I guarantee you've watched more football this week alone, than say QB and Glenn have watched in a lifetime, so just ignore them.

Eni Aluko (who was) "better than the white boys coming up in the game" and gives expert analysis like - "Richarlison is Brazil's main man, he's scored 19 goals in 40 games, you do the math on that, it's one goal a game pretty much" Sat next to actual legends of the game, Roy Keane and Graeme Souness.

You're allowed to call out how crap any pundit is, man or woman, it's all part of the game. We've been critical of pundits and commentators ever since football became televised. Christ, can't remember his name, but around 20 years ago some commentator was pronouncing David Villa as "David Veesha" it was pathetic and rightly called out. Or when i watch MOTD and Pearce would commentate on the games with hindsight of the result and how the game plays out. 30 seconds before something would happen, he would "predict" it, knowing full well that's what happens, irritating af. And don't even get me started on Garth Crooks!!

tl;dr - Massively under qualified women have been rushed in, and for the most part talk utter crap. However, singling out women for talking crap in football is silly, when there have been, and are currently tons of men who talk pure sh!te too.

How anyone can insist on Homer Simpson being the head of the family just-because he’s a man, in spite of his notorious stupidity and incompetence. And the fact that it’s even Marge who pays the bills. People really like to stretch gendered roles to the most absurd situations. That’s like arguing that Peter Griffin is a worthy head of family. Both of them are patently too dumb to survive without their wives, and neither pay the bills (it’s either Marge or Louis’ dad).

The fact that these two characters seem to be the protagonists of their respective shows is arguably a little misogynistic, too.

[Ray.]

They're the protagonists of both shows because both shows are comedies where the object of the game is to squeeze as many laughs as possible into a half-hour of programming. And so the father figure is a figure of mockery who provides the greatest outlet for those laughs and the kind of buffoonish humour that both shows are trying to portray. If the wives were the protagonists and greater relied upon as figures of mockery, and the husbands instead occupied the role of the put upon straight man who sighs and rolls his eyes at the ridiculous antics of his silly wife, then audiences of today would also probably use that as an excuse to call the shows misogynistic, no? :shrug: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If I too myself too seriously and didn't enjoy the antics of Homer Simpson so much, I'd argue that it's actually misandrist, if anything.

The fact that more people don’t get on this bad boy when it comes to truly understanding the schizoid personality and their inner life (there are better resources of information out there for cyclothymia, though). Instead of delving into how the polished aristocrat can become the brutal despot under too much tension, it’s all about “flattened affect”, “cluster A” and to what extent they avoid social interaction. This book will teach you a trillion and one times more about the schizoid personality and its richness than anything in the DSM could. Call it philosophical psychiatry, tragic pathos meets psychology, Dostoevsky-leaning (as-opposed to Freud) groundwork for a psychoanalytical novel. Whatever. But what it isn’t is a generic checklist.

The misconceptions of electroconvulsive therapy and its exaggerated risk, and the fact that it’s a treatment specifically for severe depression (and one or two mania and schizophrenia things, but primarily depression). That + neurosurgical procedures more broadly (transcranial/vagus-nerve stimulation) exist as options for depression in a world where it’s only OCD besides depression that gets neurosurgeries that withstand the scrutiny of the post-lobotomy era are a testament to how serious and severe depression often is (because people underestimate the potential severity and how acutely life-threatening, and not just by way of suicide, it can be). All comes down to this perception too many people have of depression just being about being sad or anxious, not recognising that it can be psychotic, literally immobilising (catatonic, even) and all manner of good stuff. Always banging on about schizophrenia and maybe bipolar manic-depression as being the main serious mental illnesses. I had a psychology teacher who was like that (schizophrenia was his niche) but that all changed when the syllabus got to the topic of serious depression and he brought up a case-study of a woman with psychotic depression recovering with ECT. I was there in understanding for what feels like a trillion light years before him but the guy was shook and took a lesson home from that. To not underestimate the severity of depression. It’s not just low mood, any more than mania is euphoria or “good moods”. It’s reality-testing, it’s self-perception, it’s massive motor changes, it’s hygiene, it’s sleep and appetite distortions, it’s general medical health. It can mimic dementia and leave people unable to eat, sleep or speak. It’s everything, and it can take people closer to hell in terms of torment than almost anything-else, even cancer.

As-for ECT itself, well. Me and kizzy have fallen out over this (not that we were ever really “in” with each-other like that in the first place) but I’m still gonna have to insist that it can bring people back from the half-dead/quasi-Lazarus. Some issues with temporary amnesia but overall it’s a safe procedure in more modern times and nothing like it was in the ’50s. And it works for mild to moderate as well as severe depression. The stigma attached to it (like MAOIs) is undeserved and outdated.

…if you didn’t go back, you couldn’t look forward to your next break…now you have a whole new excitement for your next time away…have a great rest of the week…:love:…

Yeah

Apparently Friday is the most popular day of the week … even though you are working your brain is looking forward to the weekend


Least popular time of the week is Sunday evening for the opposite reason

What would be the worst full name to have?

Jerk Hoff?
Manov Steel?
Or Zeke Kyle? Apologies over this one, I know that I'm probably crossing the line with this one, so I understand if I get infracted.:blush:

Or would there be a full name that's even worse?

[Zizu]

Any idea why Nescafe Gold Blend coffee which was about £5 a few months ago is suddenly anything from £6.50 to £8.99 !!!

How do some people find it so easy to keep their house spotless and laundry put away every day? Let alone with kids?

…your hours are spent in enjoying time with your little one and family etc and that’s much more precious than a tidy house…

[Jessica.]

…your hours are spent in enjoying time with your little one and family etc and that’s much more precious than a tidy house…

Yeah, that's true, I just wish it came naturally to me, everyone else just gets on with it but I feel like housekeeping is a constant dark cloud looming over me, it doesn't seem like that for everyone else.

[Niamh.]

Yeah, that's true, I just wish it came naturally to me, everyone else just gets on with it but I feel like housekeeping is a constant dark cloud looming over me, it doesn't seem like that for everyone else.I absolutely hate housework too, you're not alone [emoji23]

[Ammi]

Yeah, that's true, I just wish it came naturally to me, everyone else just gets on with it but I feel like housekeeping is a constant dark cloud looming over me, it doesn't seem like that for everyone else.

…honestly, I feel that it does feel similar for many people, especially when trying to juggle it all with parenthood…we always feel that others are just sailing through, don’t we…but I think the closer truth is that most are going through the exact same stuff and thinking the exact same things that everyone else…etc…:hug:…

[Ammi]

Jessica ….as little one grows up, a tidy house is not something he’ll remember with love and affection…spending time with his mom and giggling with his mom, that’s what will build his memories and hold his smiles…

[Kate!]

Yeah, that's true, I just wish it came naturally to me, everyone else just gets on with it but I feel like housekeeping is a constant dark cloud looming over me, it doesn't seem like that for everyone else.

It can be Jessica. I feel that way sometimes. For example right now I'm co hosting Tibb BB with the wonderful Josiah who has been a Saint and a rock cos I've been knackered all the time since we started and he's listened to me patiently and understood I have to do housework and juggle everything. Yet I truly love the game so it'll be fine.

You've got a lot on your plate long term, I've been a parent and it's hard. I acknowledge where you are coming from completely my love.

Xxxx

The thing is, I grew up in a neglect situation where neither children nor environment were taken care of and the environment part left a big mark on me so I feel really guilty and feel like the child would remember it, even though my home is not neglected, there are things that get left on the back burner.

[Jessica.]

I absolutely hate housework too, you're not alone [emoji23]

Thank you! It can be so daunting!

…but that’s it, they’re on the back burner…they’re not being neglected and I understand completely but try not let it build in your head into something that has such a strong association for you because we’re all familiar with that back burner situation, even if we don’t have a little one to care for like you do…you’re being a very wonderful and capable mom and what your little one is going to feel is the love and care that you’re giving…

Thank you so much! :love: Baby is thriving and I'm so proud, I'll try to relax.

That Tina O’Brien’s actually in her 40s.

For what it’s worth, by the way, Jessica, I think you’re doing just fine.

Ahh I have a little tear in my eye.

Yes indeed. 13 years I've known him. He's a wonderful person. We are talking him visiting the UK next year to visit someone special and factoring in a side trip.to meet with me and Ness.

I checked out his book from the library. It's very easy to read.

Ammi is obviously correct lol. You'll find also when baby leaves the demanding food/nappy/nap schedule phase and you as the mum have decided they are fundamentally and developmentally where they should be, you'll also have thrived/developed with them. All that energy you learned to develop so you could focus on little one, a good portion will free up as the demands continue to lessen, so your little child is going to be ready and waiting to point a big giant light into your life onto areas that need the most focus. That will include things like well-being and being more creative around productivity. Something about that shift in energy really clears up prioritizes and that can help you restructure to make the little stuff less impactful and more trivial. You may find the cleaning won't be as painful since it's more centered around making the space work more for you and family when you're more focused on the bigger picture stuff. But yeah, I spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun outside doing lawncare with child and pups and DIY stuff as I can when my house was frustrating me... which is often, because I'm still physically working on it...

Inflation is one reason.

And the main reason is corporations love to financially bankrupt people.:laugh:

I agree.

The fact that Jessica is concerned about her situation shows that she's doing a better job of being a parent than a lot of parents out there.

…(…it might not feel like any reassurance…)…but my son’s partner goes through exactly the same thoughts and stresses etc because being a parent brings a whole new meaning to multi tasking …but hearing that little baby giggle and watching them play and seeing them thrive and feel safe and happy and love spending time with you is something that we can’t catch up on in the way that we can with household chores etc…as he gets older, his world will expand beyond his parents but atm though…it’s all about you and helping him to grow into the amazing person that he’s going to be…

That does help a bit, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

My house was a bomb site when my son was little too :laugh: I would tidy up when he went down and within 2 mins of him getting up it would be trashed again.

I always said I wanted a home and not a show house. Now he's older its much easier - just enjoy him and you can worry about housework later :love:

[Zizu]

When our teenagers bedrooms were a mess I grabbed a black bin bag and walked towards the stairs.. they dashed past me to tidy up

LOL

Mandy (Emmers) accuses Lydia behind her back of having an affair with her old dumping-ground buddy, Craig, when all-the-while she’d been raped by him. That’s what gossip is like.

Mandy sounds lovely.:umm2:

I don't even need to talk about Craig's actions, as any decent Human Being should already know that his actions aren't good.

Mandy’s not a bad person, to be fair (this is Emmerdale, b.t.w.). She just puts her foot in it with her mouth sometimes and that’s her detriment.

Why on earth are we seeing more and more female attendants cleaning men’s toilets whilst being used ??


They now put a sign at the doorway so you get to choose to go in or find other toilets ( practically impossible)

My brother's been caught a couple of times, some woman slopping a mop around the urinals while men are using them. It's not on.

The fact that there’s a Waitrose in Croydon.

The fact that half-pints and full pints exist but 3/4-pints don’t.

Soooo
Given that the three Christian Bale Batman movies are supposedly so brilliant I thought I would give them a try

Within 2 minutes of Batman Begins .. I am close to ditching it just due to the two PATHETIC fake beards of two important characters !!

If they can’t even get decent looking fake beards what’s the rest of the movie like ?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250506/c89a6ea3883fcc9059c4515f3a241e42.jpg

LOUD ?!?

[Zizu]

Oh and why the they put ads in the worst possible places ?

[Zizu]

Oh and why is the fast forward option so useless ?

These silent discos that are going on in the city streets of the UK. Imagine how silly it would look of only 1 person had booked.:joker:

The Film is fun if you like the Superhero genre imo.

Don't let fake beards put you off a Film that you might otherwise like.

The way phones get bigger and bigger with each model-advancement. Maybe in the future they’ll reach billboard-size, and then what do we do?

It’s time for the iPhone to stop growing. In size anyway.

I may be going crazy but I am sure that over the last few days I have seen David Beckham in about 4 new adverts ( all different products)


How much money does he need ?
