  Annoyingly they’re doing actually objectionable stuff and all anyone seems to hark back to is the fuel allowance being cut to kill pensioners or however the Tories, Nick Ferrari, et al. want to frame it.

  Thanks - same to you!

  I think it’s a combo of being a “real” adult, thinking about the implications of things going on in the world (on yourself and everyone else) and the world being a mess.

  Still, at least I’m old enough to be comfortable in my self (even if it’s anxious, unfit, and aching) and generally happy to just be.

  That’s an awesome set of improvements - well done!

  I can’t promise to be any use to you, but I’m glad to swap ideas about what the fuck to make of our 30s…

  I have tinnitus and struggle in loud places to focus on conversations because I just get an unfiltered mess and f noise hitting my brain.

  It sucks, because I can hear a pin drop the rest of the time.

  I mean, there’s a number of popular raw ground meat products that are safely produced (mettbrotchen, tartare, etc) - it’s a problem of quality control more often than not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always heard this used to mean “I’ve gotta leave quickly” rather than going to bathroom; but I’m British so it might not hold the same meaning of you’re not also!

  There’s an ingenious machine the french used to stop individuals producing CO2. I don’t recall her name though.

  You need to make more donations to the party in government my dude 😎

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK would need forest ‘twice size of London’ to offset new airport expansion.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but, how can you squeeze profit from that?

  Gary always comes across as a bit of a grifter - couldn’t say what exactly it is about him, but he makes me uneasy reading stuff by or about him.

  Never mind a lot, it’s most of the country.

  Unless you live in a large city you’re basically screwed without a car. The public transport here is atrocious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  young women are taking up sex work for financial stability when they shouldn’t have to.

  This is true, and depressing.

  But I think Kate Nash and Lilley Allen pros have other options to raise cash here - I doubt OF is a last resort for them. It is, however, a headline grabber for the British gutter press and will generate a lot of cover for two artists who really don’t have a huge amount of space in the public consciousness these days.

  For what it’s worth, there are also some sex workers who do it because a)they enjoy it and b)it’s a faster way to make money than other avenues available to them. Nash and Allen both seem to fallm under this bracket.
