I've never driven with my parking lights on in adverse or dull conditions, that's what headlights are for.

Parking lights are called that for a reason.

Plot twist: When exclaiming with proud conviction how you're not a "sheep" by rejecting only the most common pop culture phenomena then congratulating each other on it for 3 pages, is actually sheep like.

A lot of medals being dusted off here to present :

We are the wolves talking about the sheep.
Beware, if you've come in here as sheep to tell the wolves they are sheep then we can't take any responsibility for what will happen to you. Put your flak jacket on....

Hmmm... OK,

I've never used bold or different colour text in a fun thread, even though (most) people do.

Nah
Just makes you realise how stoopid and trivial mainstream culture can be and that there are lots of clever people still out there doing their best to avoid it....

Default Re: I am not one of the sheep

We're all sheep, we're all unique. Being human is a pretty huge experience . If you have to put it in terms of being sheep or not, for every sheep behaviour I have there's something the opposite.

I haven't owned a television in over ten years, but on the other hand I do watch a fair few shows online.

I was on the internet in the '80s but I was also relatively late to a lot of what's labeled social media.

Until recently I'd never owned any car other than an XW or XY, but on the other hand they weren't that old when I started.

One of my cars is a multi-coloured patchwork of wild colours, holographic effects and bad jokes in sharpie - on the other hand it's an AU ;)

I have a pretty varying taste in art & music, on the other hand I get up and work a 9-5 job every weekday.

Baaaa!
