LOL *NSFW* *The new Demote thread*

Apologies for that- had an, erm, interesting day. It's quite clear I just can't understand why someone wouldn't want a "home" as such. I just couldn't do what they do. As a non Twitter user, I also fail to see why, in a larger city especially, these people could have lots of things to do, and perhaps lots of people to talk to, instead use Twitter.

I'm just trying to understand as best I can really, which would be hard anyway as it's surely a life I could never get used to. I'm also a bit behind the times with social networking and phones.

 

Presuming you can afford one...

 

I would say that's usually a contributing factor rather than the whole reason.

 

That doesn't mean I don;t live in one! You get the idea.

 

It's complicated. A decent home may be unaffordable (especially in London). There may be a long waiting list for council accommodation and what is available may be in utterly crap (even dangerous) neighbourhoods. Not many landlords with decent accommodation will rent to people on benefits.

Then there is the challenge of hanging on to it --making your rent every week or month. Then there is the cost of utilities. Then there is the issue of social isolation. If all your mates are on the street, who are your friends when you're in a crappy flat on an estate somewhere?

Nobody talks to the homeless, the poor, the mentally ill. They are non-persons. But on the internet everybody is equal.

 

Sad fact of societies. Some dictatorships have spies posing as homeless people because they're seen by society as the "invisible ones"

 

Thanks for that.

 

Really must watch the Underworld films sometime....

 

Must. Stop. Watching. Gif.

 

Being of sound mind and body, I Throbbi, do submit that Kate Beckinsale's Underworld outfit is the greatest movie costume of all time.

 

Seconded

Edit: Dammit - I really must stop watching that...

 

Agreed on both fronts.

 

I provide a valuable service for Bit-techers....

 

Artoo looks so sexy in that pic

 

Just making sure that gif is still there.

It is. The world is ok.

EDIT: Be honest, how many times have you come back so far?

 

[controversial]

Given the amount of breast sagging apparent there, I'd almost rather it satyed zipped up.

[/controversial]

 

More than I care to admit

can we make a forum rule ? that states that gif is the only allowable repost material on this forum ??

 

I sense you are not experienced with the properties of extremely tight PVC That's just spread from the tightness, I promise you they stand to attention once set free.
