It’s still 12.5%. I don’t think it was ever as low as 7 or 8. I don’t think it’s gone up to 15% yet either, but it was being talked about for sure.

Funnily enough, Shawn is the anglicisation of the Irish name Seán, so spelled for the reasons outlined in the OP.

Randall’s 40, but that’s still not old.

What about all the bowling cattle you had to castrate for those balls?

I put on a bit of weight a few years back and got up to 99kg. I joked with my partner that if I ate 1kg of cheese, I’d be 1% cheese.

So like, I’m not saying it’s right, but I understand where they’re coming from with the “more, more, more” mentality.

People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy.

The entire thing is the author wanking himself silly over his knowledge of pop culture references from his childhood. Some of it reads like it was written by a 14 year old who isn’t all that into books.

The bit about the gaming suit that wanks the user off but also means you’re exercising so you get fit from wearing it was honestly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever read. If I thought the author was capable of the level of self reflection required, I’d have thought writing that part of the book was him acknowledging that the book is literally a work of literary masturbation.

It should have received the same response as The Room; a bad book only made into a cult classic by the people laughing at it.

Does that mean there could be species which humans want to fuck, but which would not consider humans intelligent enough to give proper consent?

I saw a Vespa today for the first time in ages, and kind of wondered why mopeds have fallen so out of favour. There used always be a few 16 year olds belting about on them.

But why would anyone get one when they can have an ebike? Vespa is likely more expensive, needs petrol, you need a licence, a (relatively) expensive helmet, you need costly insurance.

Compared to an e-bike that’s half the price, doesn’t need a licence or insurance, can be ridden with a normal cycling helmet, and is allowed use bike lanes. It’s a bit of a no brainer.

This is one of the many things Homer taught us all.
