My dad's ENTJ. Very rare. 2% of the population have that.

He has the same high standards as me and same opinion about stupid people existing.

But he's bold enough to say it out loud. Like if a waiter is late on an order, he will have a 'Karen' style tantrum about it I wouldn't have the guts to do that! I told him 'go up to that Italian guy and say something to him' (cos he speaks Italian) at a European market. He got chased away because he said 'you are ripping off the people here, this stuff is cheaper in Italy' I just wanted him to make small talk style conversation about Milan or order us some sausages...

I don't think today's George Square fiasco would happen the other way around.

It's disgusting.

Glasgow will now be full of covid cos people don't know how to celebrate at home or even just in small groups.

First minister ought to condemn it. Send cops out.

My dad wants to move back to France. He spent his life in countries better than here: France, Spain and Italy.

I don't understand for the life of me, why so many good members left WP 7 years ago, only because of the re-CAPTIA.

People being passive aggressive towards me is so annoying.

A can of tuna appeared on my kitchen counter about five days ago. I have no idea where it came from. It's even a store-brand that I would never shop at. We don't eat or buy tuna.

I think I'm haunted.

Could it be that it was delivered by mistake?

Nope. I don't get delivery from that store, and even if I did I would have seen it because I unpack and disinfect deliveries.

It just showed up, out of nowhere, maybe Monday, on my counter top. All by itself.

Anyone want some tuna?

I just bought 15 cans last week!

Puppies in beds.

Twitter is full of pictures of people acting in a way that if anyone else acted like that, they would hopefully be arrested peacefully and if not, they'd get hurt if they acted like that.

They're vandalising shops, calling people slurs, getting into fights, ignoring all social distancing, throwing fireworks about and generally making a violent nuisance of themselves.

Twas ever thus.

Genuinely hope things don't get violent next week with people saying 'lockdown is over now'.

I was thinking just today that I'd really like a tuna sandwich.

Even interacting formally over email causes misunderstandings and annoyance these days. Society superficially tells you to be yourself, then shuns you when you are.

A certain age above 30, you are about as appreciated as a moldy turnip. I can only imagine what awaits in the decades ahead ...

Why are they allowed to act like this...

Reminds me of the Trump coup...

Seriously if anyone else (even us) acted like that, there'd be severe negative consequences and it would affect how people saw them/us...

This isn't even half of what's on Twitter

It's why I don't take any moral advice off that lot.

Ah, I dunno... I just kept killing time.

When I heard the skin colour thing with Prince Whatever his Name Is (Harry's son so technically 'the child formerly known as prince...') I thought it would just be very similar to what my (shielded, old, possibly aspie guy in the 00s) stepdad said about my nephew...

He just basically asked 'what colour is it' instead of 'is it a boy or a girl'. Inappropriate curiousity and bluntness which could be misread as a dog whistle...

No, the royal comment was worse than that.

Saying 'I hope the child isn't too brown' isn't something that can be passed off as a mistake. That's gross and obviously racist (or colourist if white people can be colourist...). It implies that there is something wrong with being darker.

I hope we find out whoever said that and I hope they have to deal with some kind of public backlash.
