  • The majority of people that heard that protest were those who travelled from around the world to see Stonehenge.

    I didn’t travel to see Stonehenge and I’m hearing about it. So is everyone in this thread.

    Their plans were ruined

    And I see that now that the stones have been shown to be undamaged the dismissal of the protest is pivoting to “the poor people taking recreational flights have had their entire trip ruined!!!”

    If people become less likely to take unnecessary flights because protestors might “ruin their trip” I would consider that an absolute win.

    • Time flows strangely around them: You’ll get trapped in a conversation for 30 minutes, but when you look at the clock only 5 minutes have passed.
      You could swear they only arrived 2 minutes ago, but they have been “waiting for an hour!”

    • Do not shake their hand lest they trap you in their embrace. (From experience)

    • In order to banish them you must deny them 3 times (at least)

    • They have an obsession with the power of names. “Do you know who I am?” Or “I know (owner’s name)” will be used as if the words have power on their own.

    that is the worst job to have if your mental health sucks

    Retail is terrible even if your mental health doesn’t suck. I worked in fast food for 20 years and several times a week I’d tell my wife “I hate that fucking restaurant”. I was often stressed and burned out, was driven to therapy twice… I work in an office now and it is so much more relaxing.



  • Full context:

    The orange cornflour used to spray the monuments will be washed away by rain, said Just Stop Oil. However, according to the BBC, experts will need to assess the stones to see if lasting damage has been caused. “They are sensitive and they are completely covered in prehistoric markings which remain to be fully studied,” said Mike Pitts, archaeologist and author of How to Build Stonehenge, to the BBC.

    That doesn’t say they think there is damage, just that they haven’t been able to assess it yet.
