I am now imagining you jingling and jangling as you hate fuck your induction hob!

oh no, you ended up in the same place as your most hated type of woman.

Just had a huge row with my family when they visited us for pre-Christmas. They’re very much not socially or politically aware, and are so so far away from accepting anything that even slightly deviates from their norms.

I hate that they’re so hateful, I hate that there’s a world view which is so hateful, so reductive, so insular. The obsession and identity with, and of, categorical black and white thinking. The dismissal of any idea, fact, or reason for nuance.

The idea that others are simply play things for their strict worldview.

Just fuck that, and fuck them, for the things they’ve said, which I won’t post here.

Not looking for a response, just really need to get this off my chest, so I won’t reply. Sorry you all had to read this in the first place if I’m honest, but I have very few other outlets.

Thanks x

(Edit: I’ll not reply about the content, to be specific)

We’re more polite in our family, but the same blinkered thinking underlies our discourse. Luckily don’t see most of them anymore, either through death or mutual agreement.

I’m really sorry to hear that, particularly through death. Personally, it really gets me every time there’s a statement like “science progresses one death at a time”. It seems quite real, but undermines ideas I hold close to my heart. To apply that to family is heartbreaking in more ways than one.

It’s alright, my parents are gone (2013 & 2016) they were the least problematic and most polite. My sister (early 2017) was a tough loss.
The others won’t be missed by me.

Sorry, that was kind of a derail.
I do feel for the mess you’re having to deal with.

That’s awful. I’m still sorry and I wish it was better, and hope it can be.

Not at all!
This place is sometimes a place to get shit off your chest and that’s all it needs to be. For what it’s worth, I’m at least partially over it now. Thank you!

Cheers and peace

Amen, brother

That's the majority of British people IMO

All this 'We're a tolerant, fair nation' is total bollocks.

Maybe you shouldn't have placed a salad fork in the wrong setting and passed the brandy to the right instead of the left?

No worries, I've definitely used this place for a good rant and it helps!

It’s port that should be passed to the left, I believe there is no such rule for brandy.

It's the same the world over IME, 99.9% of humans are shit. 😑

My estimates differ but it does seem part of the human condition. Odious species. In fact the whole biological class is filled with cunts, with the possible exception of lemurs. New Zealand got it right.

Fuck humanity, let the other animals and the machines take over.

Bonobos have got it right.

I have almost the inverse of this; my family is cool, except for my little brother managed to turn out like this despite his upbrining. On paper he has a high IQ but that attitude turns him into a functional moron in most situations. Says things like "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" and "What did the rainforests ever do for us?", and questioning any of this just sends him doubling down on stupidity in the most basic and anti-intellectual manner, so family gatherings where he's there mean carefully avoiding any conversational topic you care about or are even midly interested in. Very different when he's not there.
