Just a question to the fellow lemmings, are there any subforums where the middle aged millennials congregate and sook about how people are becoming sooks? Because these are my people. /r/straya had a bit, and I'm a bit over the hexbear c nuts, the yank shit and "fuck cars", "anti rental" etc bullshit. It's a one trick pony that needs the curtain pulled around it.

I'm just sick of sooks and want to zone out with fellow legends.

Feel free to let loose on here. Just refrain from calling anybody on here a cunt but everything else goes.

Cheers fella, I've been mucking around since the last reddit purge, Just losing a bit of faith.

No worries knackers. BTW I listen to Sports bizarre too. Great podcast.

It's a mixed bag here in this DT, regular shitposting mixed with real-life shenanigans, with people of all ages.

Not sure about other subforums here, I myself am still exploring tentatively. But you are welcome here in the meantime of course! :D

Cheers Spud. The level I operate at is Alphablokes, Sports Bizarre etc podcasts on the way to/from work and kid duties, and copious amounts of washing, cleaning and cooking as my new recreational activities of choice in the evening, been a cunt since the butler quit. At work is being questionably professional while running a blue collar workshop in a white collar industry. I love my team, kids, and wife, and they don't hate me. Win, win.

You’ll be ok. All sorts of different people here. Just be nice and respectful to everyone and you’ll be fine.

Also just make you not feel too out of place I have listened to Sport Bizarre and love listening to Dead Set Legends and the footy rubs and Howie Games.

Anyway welcome to the DT here.

It's really good. Extremely funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to listening to it tomorrow!

Had it for near on ten years on the old thing. I dunno, all I want to do is check out on the web and instead have my serious conversations with people I can see.

The interwebs are useful but holy fuck what's been happening with "tuning" the sort of stuff you can see and not see is absolutely fucked for the last 15 years. Once again, if I had the time to undo google, reddit (done!) and the big 10 from my life I would, but it doesn't pay the bills and doesn't replace real life with the ankle biters and other volunteering.

It is a friggen stupid timeline we are living in, however. I am the product, and the fish is off. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
