The 'random' button on Reddit is your friend in these circumstances.

Not if your work pays attention to "unsavory things" on your browser, though.

I think it only picks from non-NSFW subreddits; though there's still a risk I suppose.

Isn't there a separate "randomnsfw" option that includes NSFW, whereas the other one doesn't?

Yep:

The safe for work one still includes Warez reddits and stuff, though.

Nobody believes you weren't already subscribed to that.
when he says "clicks" he doesn't mean, "clicks link in post." He means, "clicks shortcut on desktop."
Actually clicking on random gave me pages of stuff that could well have been foreign for all I understood.

Then I looked at the ちtぇ
/r/dubstep

Yeah, that'd for it.
and after That

A :hipster: music thing.
Some mmo I'd never heard of
Creeptastic men perming over celebrities.

I'm not so convinced...
This car has been parked like this for at least two hours now.
Glue his locks.
Is that in a house?
Fucking hell The Internet. My own adventures with Reddit's random button turned up this winner:

https://www.reddit.com/r/waifuism/

It's a subreddit devoted to people who are in a serious committed relationship with a fictional character. It involves someone asking the question "Attempting to make my relationship stronger, any tips?" and genuinely getting a load of serious advice. I cannot even.
I think that's harmless enough. Love is just a load of chemicals firing in your brain, and different people are wired for different things.

Better (for society) than being wired for kids or animals, that's fo sho.

No. In a bar in Saltaire. There's a V6 used as a wine bottle holder behind the bar.

I'm not allowed superglue after I glued a fridge magnet to my belly.

... And then my foot to the floor.

Accidentally or on purpose?

That's not weird. I have a waifu - it's basically you in a dress
Dress or not, I think he'd be a husbando, not a waifu.

But I actually exist...don't I?
One of our mobile phone users at work managed to use 48GB of data on his iPhone last month, slightly in excess of the 6GB allowance.
The bill was "Interesting"......
I'm sure he was streaming a football match or something...right?

Or porn, probably porn.

It's easy enough to do (that's mostly for streaming the t-20 world cup)
Holy shit! That might actually be more data than I even use at home in a month.

If I change it to show the data from when the t-20 world cup started. It looks like this:

£1100 :blown:
My work phone is pretty much unlimited everything in any country and is something like £100 a month
Girl-Kovacs used my data to stream the WWE preshow in a pub and it came it at six gig for about 45 mintues, I think.

None of use were watching it.
That's pretty damned data-hungry.

That seems excessive. A 1080p download of Game of Thrones that lasted about an hour was 3GB and most 720p TV shows tend to be around 1GB for a 40 minute episode.
Standard definition is a lot less.
Live streams don't tend to have such good compression, do they? Or am I making that up?
I wouldn't expect them to be in full HD either though
I think I can tether 8GB a month on my phone, when I tried to watch a test match on my ipad that way last summer I think I got the text that it had been used up at about 16:00, so 5-6 hours of streaming or so.
I am pleased to report that the swifts have now returned.
I remember seeing stuff about his last year (? or the year before) - but a good write up :

What a great blog
I just noticed... the Be Excellent Logo is still in sparkly chrimbo mode.
I got an Ask Reddit question voted onto the front page. This officially makes me better at viral marketing than 99% of the people that do it for a living.

Now I just need to market something.
Your boxset blackjack?
Sadly not.

Although I suspect if it had then Beex wouldn't be working.

I Believe I related my story of the two Japanese girls on the train talking about me. One thought I looked friendly, the other not so much.

When leaving, I thanked one of them.
