Thursday there's a Jark in the water

[jivafox]

I’ve just done a proper Mel on an old school friends group chat. I posted a load of laughing emojis about an above post but one of my friends sent a really sad message about her dead dog at the same time, and that went through first

Just say you thought they were crying emojis.

Ugh @Kate you DESPOT, I had a really long post readied on the Wednesday thread (including referencing that’s it’s not longer Wednesday, as it happens) and you go and close it before I can post. FUMING

 

[Kate]

SOZ DR FUNKY. Badmin strikes again

I'm always ready for a 20s Funky post. They're the feelgood hits of the season!

 

[funky]

They really are. I’m nothing but sweetness and light. If a little bit unhinged.

 

[funky]

At the risk of drudging it all up again, and the LAST thing I ever want to do is defend that demon witch admin-superior @Kate, but I really don’t see the big deal in ‘outing’ people who are browsing. If you wanna come into moopy surely we can say, oh hello, why don’t you just log in and join in? It’s not malicious (ha - molicious. I just got that) and I worry about moopy losing its playful edge just because everyone is worried about bullying. We are surely intelligent enough to know the difference.

THAT’S ALL I WANTED TO SAY

Very agreed.

Well now funky the mood was very accusatory/suspicious, etc. yesterday in FAIRNESS

With good reason as established, but it wasn't exactly, oh come along and join in the fun rainbows and fairycakes

 

[funky]

But when do we ever have rainbows and faircakes? It’s moopy! You know what you’re buying, it’s on the label when you’re browsing. Especially if you’ve posted before.

not having a go at the gorgeous Mo, just generally speaking about the need to protect our tone.

and I am the biggest anti-bullying advocate out there. Hate that shit. Just don’t want to see us compromised because of constant fear of upsetting everyone.

 

[Beverley]

get what you're saying funkylita, but the collective moopy 'intelligence' has got us where we are, boo

 

[dUb]

It was also just an unusual situation in that people (generally speaking) who would normally browse the forum as a guest without being pinpointed couldn't do that. (Still can't?) There's nothing particularly awful about it, but I'd probably be annoyed too if I was just trying to quietly revel in the drama from afar

moopy having its own cancel culture is something else.

Innit. I’m cancelling my direct debit

 

[Beverley]

yeah, it's quite a drag when the forum pours in cos prophet kylie had her image dissected, but the moment another member resorts to the same sort of image-based bashing, it's 'cancel culture'.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh God.

@Suomi you're needed.

 

[Phoenix]

The whiplash in this topic. Can we all just try and get along.

I've changed the subject!

 

[Rita]

@Rita whats the forecast up your end next week? We’re potentially looking at 2010 levels of snow down here

Hi honey. I am not too sure. We have had nothing but snow then rain for about a week now resulting in BUGGER ALL. I have heard whispers of a Beast from the East but have no idea if we will get it. Obviously I hope we DO!

 

[Lucille]

There’s snow forecast for the next 8 DAYS in Yorkshire

 

[big ron]

Innit. I’m cancelling my direct debit

(soz octy but lols)

 

[octophone]

Ha! Point taken.

 

[octophone]

(soz octy but lols)

No need, I agree.

 

[octophone]

Well, here's hoping for a slightly less batshit day. Hello.

Went well.

 

[big ron]

SEE WE CAN ALL HAVE FUN IN THE END.

 

[octophone]

SEE WE CAN ALL HAVE FUN IN THE END.

Define "end"...

 

[Rita]

What has happened NOW? Back to the community forum to catch up?

 

[Mats]

Forgive me for putting up an 18 minute long video but the way this Parish Council zoom meeting unravels into complete chaos is absolutely beautiful

this is absolutely brilliant

@Lucille look it's the House of Lords

 

[Tisch]

OT: @Ag I keep thinking your avatar is the flag of Kazakhstan

 

[Jark]

I'm in a well good mood! can't wait for it to evaporate by midday!

well it took a bit longer than that but...

me and 3 friends were taking off to a cottage in the countryside tomorrow for a weekend of nature and debauchery (booked ages ago - and we are two households so it's permitted).

today they've been forecasting extreme snowfall and minus 10 temps for the weekend until mid next week. and my bestie has to drive to Belgium before Monday for his second vaccine shot. so we've had to cancel the trip so there goes the one and only thing I had been looking forward to.

I'm SO OVER IT ALL.
