    I'd say it's cultural. Stiff upper lip and all that. It would be impolite or even confrontational to complain about something, so you have a little moan instead. A common response …

    Their comment is even funnier considering the sudden rise of Farage and Friends. Their attempts to claim culture is governed by strong borders is also hilarious when an hour's driv…

    I feel this post is also an example of the the British past time of having a moan. It's a stereotype that Brits can be miserable and complain a lot, but the truth is most of us jus…

    I'm guessing this is very context/region dependant. Calling someone a nonce as a bit of banter would be more acceptable than calling them a paedophile when I was growing up. I assu…

    The tech doesn't sound that interesting at all. Every AI Degen thread on 4chan and similar has included model fine tuning instructions for a few years now, for the express purpose …

    Labour are regularly referred to as Tory-lite and with the way it's being run by Keith people feel it's just the Tory party but in red.
