quickly googles patter song

The patter song is characterised by a moderately fast to very fast tempo with a rapid succession of rhythmic patterns in which each syllable of text corresponds to one note. It is a staple of comic opera, especially Gilbert and Sullivan, but it has also been used in musical theatre and elsewhere.

Sounds like a dorky enough thing for Ben Shapiro to do, but I don't think that's the case with his verse. He doesn't seem to be singing that fast in comparison to his speaking voice and his bars don't even seem to be on beat.

I'm not gonna pretend that I'm an expert on rap or anything but, like, this is shit.

Like, Ben Shapiro's verse has the stilted cadence of one of those YouTube videos where people splice together PragerU clips.

Lyrically the whole thing is dogshit, but it's especially glaring with Ben who has taken the same approach to rap that a child takes to poetry, creating rhyming couplets with no sense of flow or direction seemingly because that's how he thinks it's supposed to be.

I've heard better bars spat improvised at a wassailing, even after the cider has made a few cycles of the wassailers.

So my USB mouse is on the blink and my attempts to fix it haven't worked and I decided it's time to get a new one.

I just wanted some cheap wired mouse I can plug into my computer. I had to scroll through page after page of weird angular things that looked like they were designed to kill Gordon Freeman, all named shit like "STEALTH" or "Power Gaming Recon" before I got a sniff of what I was looking for. The wired mouse section of a bunch of websites I looked on just listed off wireless mouse (and in one website's case, mobile phone SIM cards).

Is it just me or has the internet become a real bugger to find what you want nowadays?

Why is it that Americans always act like this? Do other countries with two main parties do this? From my own personal experience, I've never been shamed by a labour canvasser like that, but it might be a case that they're like this elsewhere in the UK.

Also some quick maths:

not voting is a vote for Trump

not voting is a vote for Biden

Therefore, by voting twice you've committed voter fraud.

Estimated 66.6% of eligible voters voted in 2020

Therefore ~a third of Americans commited voter fraud.

And the Biden administration claims that election wasn't rigged?

Easy answer is E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.

It's a janky mess built on the source engine. The plot is downright incomprehensible. Gameplay mechanics aren't properly taught to the player, leaving you to work out how everything works (my legs are ok). The maps vary massively in terms of quality (the tutorial area for example has an optional side path that is just an incredibly long empty corridor that takes, like, twice as long to cross than the path you're railroaded towards to reach the same destination). It's basically an unlicensed WH40K game so it's got my dislike of Warhammer to work against to win me over.

Despite this, I have a huge soft spot for the game. It's one of the comfort games I boot up and play when I'm sick and sad.

The funniest thing is, the kindsa swords he wants to ban are already banned under the offensive weapons act.

Like, they've been illegal since 1988, in 2019 the act was amended to include the sorts of impractical wall hangers I've heard people online describe as "mall ninja shit".

Starmer's a lawyer, he should know this.

Was it following the rule of law when he ordered the military to fire on striking miners in Tonypandy?

Don't say fish net communist. Don't say fishnet communist.

I'm the door communist, lotta bolts on that door, someone's gotta make sure they're properly maintained. You don't wanna go through all the rigmarole of peeking through an eye slot to ask the password and then opening the door when the correct one is given only for the latch to catch, leaving your comrade milling around on the doorstep like an awkward bugger, and the damn thing won't budge, and you ask for help but all these lazy sods have decided they have better things to do, and now you've embarrassed the whole cell in front of the new guy.

Fuck that, that's why I keep the screws tight and the bolts lubed.

Yeah, it was during his 2019 run for UKIP MEP.

OK, there's a fair bit of backstory to this. CW: mentions of SASome time before he joined UKIP he made comments about whether or not he'd rape labour MP Jess Philips. Backlash about it caused him to double down and discuss it further (and encourage his followers to her harass her over it).

During the 2019 European Parliament elections (Theresa May was trying to put off Brexit for as long as possible so in 2019 the UK was still had to elect MEPs) the UKIP leader at the time decided that his failing party could claw back relevance by fielding far-right social media personalities as candidates. He asked a whole bunch of them and Carl Benjamin, Paul Joseph Watson, and the Nazi pug guy all agreed to stand.

Mainstream media caught wind of the rape comments and after an interview about them on the BBC involved him passionately defending his right to appraise women on whether or not he'd rape them, Carl Benjamin became the low hanging fruit for media ridicule for the election. Worsened because Carl would double down on it every time he was asked, refusing to budge an inch in his stalwart defence of his own deep-seated misogyny.

Carl's views on rape spread to becoming the main thing any journalist would ask any UKIP member in interviews at the time, and it was causing conflict within the party and losing them support in the polls.

Desperate to escape this controversy, a press conference was held with Carl, PJW, and Nazi pug guy all present to answer questions.

Except Carl didn't want to answer any questions, especially not the one you can obviously see coming by now.

He fumed at the journalists present for coming here and questioning him, at first for asking about what he viewed as irrelevant subjects, but soon all questions were off the table. All the while PJW looked on in confusion and Nazi pug guy looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

Carl called off the press conference early, red in the face.

Sure, whatever, I guess.

The past he wants to RETVRN to never really existed so 2003 is as good a time as any for him to wax poetic about.

Carl Benjamin peaked when he called a press conference and then threw a fit when the press turned up to it and asked questions. Smartest right winger.

It's from, like, the old English for the southern part of Saxon territory. See also Essex, Middlesex, etc.

HMS Bangor is named after the oldest city in Wales. So not quite as absurd a name as whatever the fuck Chiddingfold is.
