There's off topic, and then there's whatever the hell is going on in here.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
No worries, I'm 'managing' it.
(I guess I owe it to @calodo2003 to add the apostrophes at this point)
Apologies to management.
Just joshing a bit.

Weren't we both?
Absolutely, you’re swell.Weren't we both?
Was seeing if you would call me patriarchal for using ‘joshing.’
Brain surgeon there.
Ha, I clearly still have some way to go in English! I have no idea about the connotations of that word.
I do know 'swell' sounds like first half of the 20th century; not sure I've seen or heard it used after. Sorry if that dates you.
Ageist as well.
Your bingo card is filling up!
Old-ish, but not that old.
It’s not like I used ‘peachy keen!’

(Just looking for other ism checkboxes I can mark. If I could only be a jingoist.)
Could go in multiple threads...
I am part of a group of grad school friends on Facebook, several of whom are AA. They have some definite opinions in Candace Owens.

Loosing?
I think this is performative. He’s always been a closeted white supremacist, but now he doesn’t have to hide it. I think we are seeing the real, unrestrained, Tucker now.
Good point.
I always respect people for freeing themselves of their shackles, of societal pressures.
I need to start respecting Tucker more for this.
The Nielsen bump for him will be appreciated by the Fox hierarchy, they need to claw viewers back from Newsmax / OANN.
What sucks is that the best dog I ever owned was named Tucker by my ex-fiancée & myself. This really hurts the Tucker brand for me.
I wouldn’t respect him too much. I’ve never got the media narrative about him being some sort of threat. I don’t think he’s terribly smart, and I don’t think he’s terribly charismatic outside of his tightly controlled TV show. Sure, he can rule up the Trump base, but not more than Trump can. I just don’t see it. John Stewart barely tried and eviscerated Carlson and got Crossfire canceled.
your Tucker was a better human being than this one.

Sam the Trinity fox gives birth to five cubs on campus grounds
Lockdown ‘celebrity’ inspired one of Ireland’s best known poets
Nature is healing. A year after being found on the street emaciated and mange-ridden, Sam, the fox living on the grounds of Trinity College Dublin (TCD), is now the proud mother of five fox cubs.
She gave birth in the provost’s garden under the prefabs on the university campus.

My mother gave me his book to read as a kid. First nonfiction I ever read. She thought his family's story would inspire me. My mother now sees him as an idiot.
Edit: Funny enough, that same book is why I am now convinced he has an inferiority complex. And I think his mother is partly responsible.
I've given up having thoughts about it, since it's clearly not against the rules.
I could go back to reporting posts, though, if you're feeling bored.
My bad, was unaware this could be verboten. If this is in violation, I will remove.
It's apparently not, I just don't personally like that every time a woman is brought up in the CE people have to add whether or not they would feck her. I used to report posts that I felt went too far, but I gave up a few months ago.
You at least made it part of a statement (i.e you don't like her).
I hear you. So as not to continue the trend, I will amend my post.
I'm sure you can find summat else to be offended about.
Maybe if male politicians were more feckable we'd have some equality.
I've never had that response before, but I definitely like it.
She’s not aesthetically displeasing.No, you're good. Please carry on being human.
But, Candace Owens ?
The sounds that emit from her mouth hole do her quite the disservice.
No, you're good. Please carry on being human.

Am I the obsessed one or are you? I haven't reported any since the last time you made a very funny remark about it.
Oh yeah, no problem.
Yes I really should complain about the fat-shaming. I'm glad you're with me on that.
Second that.
I don't disagree, but the idea of chillin' with someone who is 180 degrees your moral and political opposite and lies for a living would seem to balance the aesthetically pleasing bit out imo.
The lack of reports have definitely been appreciated, so thanks for that.
I always found them mildly amusing.
What with @Olly Gunnar Solskjær and @dumbo I think we have enough for a whole snowball.
No problem, but I'm sure Niall would look to remove the report function entirely if you asked really very nicely. It's just eating up bits or bytes or whatever, after all. If we're lucky, the moderation tools are next to go.
Threadmark this post for when the end of things began.
It’s not like it’s my views on the cartoon or Rashford, nothing worth really debating or defending, more of a backhanded compliment to someone who’s words many probably recall when trying to reduce an erection.
There’s other far more important issues with which to polarize.
