There's a fine line between laughing with someone and laughing at them.

But if what they said isn't supposed to be funny then I guess you are mocking them. 

 

A lot of people use the laugh emoji to undermine someones post instead of explaining why they disagree with it, which I find slightly strange behaviour in grown ups.

That's a fair point.

Didn't she start at the racist end of the pipeline?

Youtube/IMDB adverts.

 

They seem to get longer like full 15 sec before you can skip Or sometimes there's 2/3 of them.

The popularity of blatantly fake eye lashes.

 

Particularly the oversized ones

I pay for the ad free youtube experience and love it. I don't subscribe to local TV over here so just redistribute the money to things like Netflix and youtube. Can't stand ads!

When you shop online but don't buy something and get emails later saying ''forget something'' or ''how about a second look?'' 

 

Fcuk off and leave me alone

He's somehow managed to combine the worst of both Argentinian and English footballers in a new ultimate shithousing **** footballer

I like him, I think. Absolute helmet but broadly having fun with the rules rather than cheating. He's not Luis Suarez. Just a bit of a fun panto villain more than anything.

Left something in your cart?

Martinez is a cvnt in the way that a lot of fans of other teams think Jamie Vardy is a cvnt.

 

Shithouse troll but does have the skill and talent for the big occasion, often.

I love it, always leave something in your cart, click off the site, wait for the email, ask for a 50% reduction on the item before you buy it, settle on about 10% off then buy. Free money if you were gonna buy the item anyway

Yes and like with Vardy I think if fans dish it out players have the right to shove it back in their faces.

Absolutely. Some fans are utter hypocrites on the matter, quite honestly.

 

If a fan is running their mouth at a player and then that player makes them look daft, the player has every right to look the fan in the eye and give it right back.

[bovril]

I think often of the fat Soton fan 10 yards from me in 2019 that shouted abuse at Vardy about his wife at every opportunity and then got quieter and wetter as the evening went on.

Kind of agree but kind of don't. Players are professionals and should act like it. I would love to give it to clients when I receive my daily dose of this or that before getting the job done. But I am a professional and they pay me.

But then again, it's well funny when players and fans go at it.

I don't know what you do but if someone walked into my place of work and started shouting abuse at me we would call security.

 

Also I don't think there's anything that unprofessional about cupping ears, shushing the crowd, or even what Martinez was doing yesterday. 

[LiberalFox]

Sunak's attack on young people with mental health issues. I suppose this is some desperate attempt to appeal to the reactionary section of voters who think young people are 'snowflakes' and people just need to 'man up'.

 

It all feels a little bit too shameless just singling out a group of vulnerable people to demonise. A bit mask off.
