- Comment on Food price fears as Brexit import charges revealed 7 months ago:
I’m a buyer for a wholesaler and import a lot of food. I’m having to discontinue most of my imported dairy products now as this additional charge makes it no longer worth it.
Tories, the anti-business party.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 8 months ago:
Just family members of that age group really.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 8 months ago:
Obviously. But have you accessed fb in the last 5 years? There’s no content anymore, just ads.

I mean, is it? It’s pretty much just boomers using it regularly now.
- Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again. 8 months ago:
Yeah I moved to bing a year ago, it genuinely is.
- Comment on I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal? 11 months ago:
It does sound like an obsessive trait but if it’s not causing you any problems and it makes you happy, then why not?
Although, a tip for you or anyone else reading this - letting your hair completely dry naturally without towel-drying it can make the texture so much nicer. I stopped towel-drying mine completely and now it dries with lovely, soft waves, no frizz at all.

- Comment on Average UK gig ticket to top £100: 'People treating concerts like mini-holidays' 11 months ago:
Yeah I’m guessing the fancy seats at a big stadium are swaying this? It’s rare for me to pay over a tenner to be honest though up to £35 is the norm I’d say. But then I’m not watching Taylor Swift in a stadium.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
How do you find it, all I seem to get is trash and if I have to hear the phrase “like and subscribe” one more time I’ll scream?

Also women here, hi.
- Comment on Judges to rule on whether tenants in England have right to keep a pet 1 year ago:
How would this be any different if you owned the flat?

- Comment on Rishi Sunak says people ‘can’t be any sex they want to be’ in new swipe at trans community 1 year ago:
What are you on about? When I (a woman) got eye surgery and put on a mixed ward afterwards to recover, how did it affect my treatment?
- Comment on How has your Lemmy experience changed over the past few months? 1 year ago:
I had to blacklist words like “trump” on reddit, it was too much.
- Comment on How do you exit a dream? 1 year ago:
If I become aware I’m in a dream and want it to end, I usually try to focus on the feeling of my body in bed. Once I become conscious of my physical body it’s basically impossible to stay in the dream.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
What is there to disagree with? Women talking about assault and harassment? Yes, let’s go back to the good old days when we all pretended rape was fine or didn’t happen…
- Comment on School absences: The school picking kids up from home to boost attendance 1 year ago:
I was in primary school in the early 90s and there’s no way my parents would have put little 4 year old me on a bus on my own.
- Comment on A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades 1 year ago:
Some people will do that regardless, but I would keep all of my phones for longer if the batteries were easily changeable and they didn’t eventually grind to a halt. I loved my Pixel 3a and would still be using it today if I could.
- Comment on Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts? 1 year ago:
They are in the UK, I reported one to ASA and they made them remove it.
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
I this instance it isn’t just an allegation though - one of the women has evidence she went to a rape crisis centre on the same day, which Channel 4 was able to confirm with the centre, and text messages from Brand on the same day where he apologised for his rape.
Why would Google continue to profit from his actions? That would be mental.
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
We have the same laws in the UK, but he’s self-employed. Can you not be self-employed where you live?
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
They aren’t showing ads on his videos.
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
There’s nothing stopping him getting his own advertising on his channel, he hasn’t been banned from YouTube.
- Comment on 'This could be the holy grail to replace palm oil' - research team 1 year ago:
This is interesting, palm oil is hard to substitute but we can grow rapeseed easily in the UK. I hope we continue to hear more about this.

It’s was at 65% at 5pm today according to the link above.

We can hope, but history say otherwise 😭
- Comment on Senior Tories warn: if we can’t offer policies to win over young, we’re ‘sunk’ 1 year ago:
Hopefully there will now be at least 3 generations of people who won’t vote Tory.
- Comment on Russell Brand posts video online denying unspecified criminal allegations 1 year ago:
He seemed to follow the Left Wing conspiracy theory - - - > Right Wing conspiracy theory path but with a massive dose of ego.

- Comment on Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity 1 year ago:
There’s so much that’s less than ideal about this. A lot of people don’t have a big freezer. Some can’t afford to pay for bulk ingredients up front. Some people won’t have a half day spare to spend it cooking, especially if they have kids. And then there’s the depressing aspect of eating the same food everyday.
I’m lucky I enjoy cooking so don’t mind it taking up my evenings (nor do I have kids or a small freezer or work full time on minimum wage) but even I balk at the thought of meal prepping.
