Thank you for naming Mark Duggan. Too many people forgot the reason for the riots. Thank you for mentioning he was a father and not presenting him as a thug.

this is fascinating to me, how do Americans say it??

Wait, what? How do you guys say it? My boyfriend is American but he moved here when he was 10 so he doesn’t have much of an accent (except when he says ‘mom’!)

I saw Amanda Palmer for the first time this year and cried literally the whole time. My boyfriend got really freaked out. He said he thought I was joking when I warned him I was definitely going to cry.

I’ve never seen an opera live but I cry at musical theatre and aerial silks without fail. And the song Sarajevo by Max Richter makes me cry. I reckon I'd fall apart if I went to the opera.

I saw it when I was 14. My friend was visiting and he rented it from the video store, saying it was the greatest film ever made. Then (LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER WE WATCHED IT) we had sex. It was my first time and it was terrifying. 0/10, do not recommend watching Kids directly before losing virginity.

Really? One of my friends came here from Texas and I’d say she lived here. She rented a house, went to uni, had a job, paid taxes, got post, paid utilities, had an English phone number, etc. for over two years, was that really not living? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she described her time here as living in…

But I’m A Nice Guy, it's only 40 seconds long and it's amazing, please watch the whole thing if you like the gifs because it just gets better :)

Watch it, it’s forty seconds long and it is INCREDIBLE. One of my favourite animations ever.

yeah, definitely. his statement was particularly unambiguous.

That’s amazing, what’s your language? We talk about someone “having a few screws loose” in England.

Fair! I only mentioned it because I think the cultural fixation on serial killers is really interesting, wasn’t trying to be a dick (sorry if I was!)

technically he’s a mass murderer or rampage killer, not a serial killer. I’m writing my dissertation on Elliot Rodger right now and honestly, all this killer research is no barrel of laughs :( but yeah, serial killers kill at different times, and not as part of a larger spree. This guy, Rodger, and all school shooters…

That sucks, I’m sorry for you and all the vegans :(

Shouldn't vegan makeup theoretically be carmine-free?

i immediately thought of Closer magazine and didn’t even question it until I read your post D:

I wasn’t there but years ago my aunt and uncle went to the Carribean on some luxury getaway with their kids and literally as soon as they arrived at their hotel room and put their bags down my cousin got overexcited and ran straight through the glass door and they all had to fly straight back to England.

hello friend I think you missed my point entirely - it is hilarious to me that not only was this dude all LOL NOT LIKE YOU THE GENIUS to the only actual scientist (actor) on the show, he also fucked up the idiom he was using. While questioning her intelligence! The ironing is delicious.

This guy gonna ask an actual scientist if she can do calculus AT THE TOP OF THE HAT????? THATS NOT EVEN HOW THE IDIOM GOES WHO LET THIS DICKWEED ANYWHERE NEAR MAYIM JFC

hahahahaha I bought a bikini from there that literally specified each kind of water the alleged swimsuit was allergic to, like “do not allow swimsuit to come into contact with seawater, swimning pools, rivers or streams”
