I think some instances remove swear words so you just see 'removed'

Was that an intentional reference at the end there to the film where a sudden ice age overwhelms the northern hemisphere, cos if so, nicely done.

Oh you've just reminded me of my saddest meal, when I had no money. All I had was dried pasta, half a jar of pickled onions, a tin of baked beans (British ones not sweet) and one crust of a loaf of bread. Cool, I can do baked beans on toast. Toasted the bread, heated the beans in a pan. As I took the pan off the heat the handle and the pan decided to take that moment to part ways, and pan and beans fell to the floor. Floor was filthy, and we had a rat issue as well as a pet cat, so scraping the beans up wasn't an option. I cried. I was so hungry Ended up cooking the pasta and putting some pickled onions on. Tried to eat it, couldn't, cried some more, and then went to a friend's house to beg to be fed.

I can't actually eat instant noodles now because I survived on them back then. Used to be able to get 10 packs for £1 in a shop near me, and I probably ate them at least once a day.

Great to see something from the NW! I've never heard of this or seen it before, are these your pics OP and if so what sort of habitat do these grow in?

If the 90s is cheating how about a 1980 film? With the caveat that I haven't watched it since the 90s/00s and my opinion may change if I watched it again. But I really enjoyed Robert Altman's Popeye film, and was quite disappointed to find out it was an unloved flop. 58% critic score, 39% audience score.

Interesting, I'm late 40s, and I'd say my closest straight male friends definitely fall more within the men's lib way of thinking, or at least are valiantly trying, because they see through the bullshit and see how harmful it is. The vast majority of straight men of my generation though, no, they're not like that at all. It's desperately sad. They're miserable and angry but can't see the box they're in that's making them that way.

I think r/menslib shows it can be done, with very clear community rules and good moderation. There's definitely a need for it. There are plenty of men out there with their heads screwed on right and who need to be able to talk about issues that effect men without the conversation being derailed into sexist rants about women. I think maybe you're a little too pessimistic about men and their ability to define masculinity for themselves in a healthy and un sexist way.

Thor? I couldn't thit down for a week!

Non-tech. Pubs / bars, arts, then generic admin. Now in a regulatory case working role. Can't really say much more without revealing my employer as it's very very niche (but not exciting, at all, trust me on that).

All royalty are just the descendants of criminals really, who murdered and thieves their way to the top.

The name isn't new, it comes from the same place as women's lib, afaik the concept of Mens Lib has been around since the 70s. We all want to be free of harmful and unnecessary gender stereotypes. r/menslib was a great subreddit.

Is that the guy that Adam Curtis talked about in Hypernormalisation?
