When people talk about women as a conglomerate.

It’s mostly blokes I’ve noticed doing what you’re talking about so what the hell, Gusto? Why did you decide to make this one about gender?

The advert where the kid is licking chocolate off nuts and then the guy eats the nuts. Grosses me out.

Oh my lord .. you’d pass out at this …

I used to support an autistic teenager and when we joined a class he immediately sat down and started searching under the desks for old chewing gum then pop it into his mouth !

Had me retching on a fairly regular basis !

People still banging on about Covid. It’s mutated and been vaccinated against to the back-bone so much that it’s no more than a moderate cold for most people at this point (and it was never more than that for a lot of people to begin with, Delta-variant aside). If you’re still freaking out, take some fluvoxamine and move on. Covid’s just another bug in addition to the usual cold and flu that people have been aware of since the end of 2019 and that’s that. The direction of your life and its trajectory has nothing to do with a stupid virus.

I still see people wearing masks. Must be horrible having your face covered.

The thing about masks per-se I get. It’s a convenient way to uphold boundaries with people you aren’t extra-familiar with or maybe you want to just … not spread your cold or measles. It shouldn’t have taken people besides health workers and lab. scientists a whole pandemic to realise the benefits of masks but people who wear them specifically because they’re still scared of Covid are just being ridiculous.

For introverts the pandemic was even a blessing in the sense of “social isolation” becoming the norm and in any case it’s good that people know now that a lot of things can be done virtually via Zoom/Teams than face-to-face all the time but beyond that nothing’s changed. Letting your life trajectory be defined by whatever convenient global landmark that gives you an excuse for not getting your ish together or discovering who you really are (9/11, the 2007-08 credit-crunch, Brexit, Trump, Covid) is beyond pathetic. Brits especially just love to whinge and moan about the present moment and there’s always something.

This .. and walking alone in the streets with a cheap mask is preposterous

The feeling of being borderline/just missing an opportunity. Almost but not quite. Urgh.

There certainly is a price on being a woman

Extraverts taking it upon themselves to be more pissed off than the actual celebrants that you didn’t attend that party or wedding. Like they feel entitled to your social presence. The celebrant’s not even that arsed that I sat this one out so why are you? Why can’t ‘I’m there in the spirit and wish you all the best but I may or may not show up this time if we ain’t super-close’ be enough for some people?

Always something “going ’round.”

i think the pint mug restriction came from an EU directive, which no longer applies

I honestly haven't got a clue. I’ve never tried that. But probably not.

If it no-longer applies then why do pubs keeping saying it does?

…ahhh, that’s something that’s always happened in locals I’ve known…but they’re more village pubs…?…and maybe it’s not so much that, that’s a thing in town pubs etc…regulars take in their own glass or tankard etc and it’s kept in the bar…like taking your coffee mug to work for coffee breaks, I guess……

Sounds like I’ll have to get Suffolk-interior pub-hopping, then.

This British habit of forever whinging and moaning about the present moment and looking back on the past with rose-tinted nostalgia even though at the time they were saying it was the worst ever and doing the exact same thing. On a broader global landscape 2018 (minus all this non-binary nonsense going into overdrive) was like a gem in the rough of a very bad decade for news and politics and even that had huge problems. Complaining about the present moment and using convenient landmarks (9/11, 2008 credit-crunch, increasing immigration being an excuse to fuel disgusting xenophobia, Brexit, ISIS, Covid) as the point when things went wrong is just such bad vibes. And the U.K. is just full of bad vibes as it is.

Also. This stupid guy narrating Psych2Go now. Amanda Silvera is a prominent, characteristically sootning voice behind Psych2Go and she can lift even the crappiest of videos to something worth listening to. Without her vocals there’s barely any point watching the channel. I don’t mind the other female narrators but the bottom line is we want Silvera and that’s that. If she’s not in it at all anymore then Psych2Go might as well get cancelled. It’s basically a hub for over-sexualisation and teenage crushes now anyway and even Silvera’s vocals couldn’t save some of that garb.
