Having skin cancer doesn’t immediately affect your access to fair and appropriate support through the justice system.

I think maybe they’re intentionally isolating themselves?

Emails? Wtf?
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
Can you see your GP immediately? Like, when my partner has a seizure that lasts more than 2 minutes I’m meant to call an ambulance, but do you have to talk to your GP first?
Anyway, where I am in England it’s pretty difficult to get a routine appointment. 2-3 week waiting times. I’ve been having panic attacks and couldn’t speak to my doctor to get help; I completely understand why someone would go to A&E for help with this because you feel like you’re dying and who else can help if your GP can’t see you?
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 2 weeks ago:
Thank you. Yeah I’m so fed up of netflix, all the free on-demand streaming services in the UK are better than Netflix now, and have the same amount of ads. I torrent a fair bit but I used to like Netflix for casually watching things I might not have found otherwise. The only thing is that there’s nothing to find on there anymore.

Can you tell more about this please?

What you’re saying isn’t untrue, but if I’m drunk I shouldn’t be in control of fire.
- Comment on Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body Spray 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never seen one claim it cleans, just that it makes your hair look less greasy, which it does.

How did you know they were going to do that?
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 5 weeks ago:
The Stoics would say you actually shouldn’t seek constant mental stimulation, because letting your brain just “be”, and sitting with boredom, is actually incredibly beneficial for creativity and personal growth. I do have to ask though, as what you’re describing is so relatable and I used to be the same way as you until I taught myself to let my brain relax; is it possible you have ADHD?
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 5 weeks ago:
I like day dreaming, talking to people I bump into while I’m about, hearing the buzz of people in a pub garden, the music playing in people’s cars as they drive past. I like these things, it makes me feel connected to the place I live. It’s also good to just let your mind wander without constant stimulation.
- Comment on Also pretty poor, with shitty health care coverage...am I getting warm? 5 weeks ago:
Maybe not mental illness but this is definitely a stim for me.
- Comment on YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header 1 month ago:
Ok but the point is, if anyone isn’t using Outlook they do get a pointless email. My workplace doesn’t use Outlook and I get tons of these. I’m glad to have learnt I can block them though.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 1 month ago:
I would strongly recommend trying Couch to 5k. There are a bunch of free apps for it. It’s a program that can get basically anyone from doing zero exercise, to being able to run 5km. I literally never ran until my 30s and now I do 5km 3 times a week, and even did a 10km race.
It’s very gentle and achievable but all of a sudden you’ll realise you’ve finished the program and you’re a runner haha.
- Comment on NHS makes morning-after pill available for free across pharmacies in England 1 month ago:
I’m assuming they’ll still get you to complete the hench questionnaire, just not charge you after?
- Comment on 'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarkets 2 months ago:
Well, they used to encourage loyalty because it was feasible to collects points and convert them into tangible things (e.g. My parents used to get trips to theme parks etc). Points are almost worthless now so there’s no incentive to stick with one shop. I end up going to 3 or 4 different shops to get what I need due to price.
- Comment on home 2 months ago:
There are about a million of these in the UK.
- Comment on How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people? 2 months ago:
I agree, no need to over-complicate anything. I think even describing the fediverse as being like email confuses people. I just say it’s like old reddit but nicer and no ads.
- Comment on arriving 2 months ago:
I guess because it’s only trapping existing heat, and I’m a cold-hearted lizard.
- Comment on arriving 2 months ago:
I am one of these people. I feel like I’m only truly warm for a few days out of the year (I live in the UK…). The heatwaves we had this year, whilst environmentally devastating/concerning, at least warmed my core for a good few weeks.
- Comment on arriving 2 months ago:
Excuse me but I can only put so many clothes on. and scientifically, one more jumper doesn’t equal one more warm.

Here in the UK rent is always much higher than mortgage payments. Where do you live?
- Comment on A conundrum 3 months ago:
This isn’t usually the case in the UK. Rent is generally much, much higher than mortgage payments.
- Comment on Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds 3 months ago:
I don’t know why you think that would be the case. Uniforms were way cheaper when I was a kid in the 90s but my parents still couldn’t buy me two sets of clothes. At least when I wore my own clothes I felt like me.
- Comment on It slaps tho 3 months ago:
Thank you for calling me classy.
- Comment on Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds 3 months ago:
Agreed. The argument that it’s an equaliser is delusional and clearly made by people who didn’t have to wear 20 year old hand me downs for their uniform.

I only really use my laptop to DJ and you can’t run Rekordbox on Linux. I’d love to swap, but Linux doesn’t seem to do what I need it to do.
