  I called the fire brigade when I was about 4 years old. I thought it was a toy phone so I dialed 999 (I’m in the UK) and said there was a fire in a guest I could see from my window. I was mortified when the fire brigade arrived at the house asking if anyone had called as they’d been looking fit a guest fire in the area.

  I think I evened it all out when I found smoke in our living room at age 6 and alerted my parents. I thought they were cooking sausages but a log had rolled out onto the carpet and the fire officer said I probably saved the house.

  I felt guilty about the first case for decades. B but you have to forgive yourself. Also, out doesn’t matter what you did. Your parents divorce is not your responsibility. Whether what you did triggered it or not, their relationship clearly wasn’t strong if it broke so easily and it probably works have before for other reasons anyway.

  I’ll have to use the camera phone again then.

  Fine?! Have you seen those YouTubers?!

  Bunch of greedy sociopaths trying to con people into buying drinks with manufactured scarcity. There’s something to look up to there.

  I thought it was in America and I’m need of urgent surgery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are AAA Games too bloated?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like Stray, I loved the Uncharted games. The story was well paced and the gameplay fun and each one could be finished in a weekend or less. Too many games expect hundreds of hours of time committed and they just burn me out. I’d like more games like this.

  It’s a shame that earlier handed in the series aren’t ported to the PC.

  Be aware that the companies would have paid Facebook handsomely to identify users in this way. The world we live in has a sickness with greed for money at its heart.

  Not impressed. Spain managed to run on almost nothing a few days ago.

  Haha thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warning RTS electricity meters in 300,000 homes could stop working⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if I don’t want to change it? I’ve seen my sister’s bills double since she got a smart meter so why the hell would I want to do that? I’m more than happy to keep giving them a manual reading.

  What are my options?

  I hate this world.

  Do you think this guy would avoid saying a thing? No, he’d come right out and tell you if he wanted you dead. As long as he could provide your with personalised ads in the afterlife.

  The only thing that I trust is that I can’t trust anyone that I don’t know and trust personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it’s not engagement. We have to stop this nonsense.

  Also, we need laws making bots that pretend to be real users illegal. We’re heading for some black mirror shit otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Benefits of ADHD medication outweigh health risks, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been waiting two years now for a diagnosis. I moved house and I’ve not heard anything in all that time from the NHS. I lost my job to redundancy in October. Nowhere is hiring. I’m struggling to remain focused on job hunting. I’ve just found out I’m going to be a dad.

  These articles don’t help because I can’t get medicated. Would love to know if something could help but nobody seems to give a shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is anti-propaganda?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the Oxford dictionary definition:

  “The systematic dissemination of information, esp. in a biased or misleading way, in order to promote a particular cause or point of view, often a political agenda.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does not having a (mainstream) social media account make you look suspicious to the authorities? Is it a good idea to have an innocent looking social media account just to look "normal"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Keep the social media account and don’t travel to the US. Problem solved.

  Downloading Mint at the moment. I haven’t tried to use Linux since Redhat 5 I think it was.

  I’ve got my first son or daughter on the way, I’m thinking they might be learning Linux as their first OS

  Yeah, they’ll remove sanctions and send Putin a nice bunch of flowers. Cowards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion it ties into Dunbar’s number or the monkey sphere, where humans simply cannot be that well connected without it ultimately becoming a disaster.

  The human mind just isn’t as evolved as everyone thinks it is and is built on a design that was about survival of you and your tribe.

  I usually start from this point and then add in the billionaires and corporations that have learnt how to manipulate these instincts for their own gain.

  It’s a dead franchise now and I’m not looking forward to any further films. It will go the way of Disney, Marvel and Star Wars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rafa Nadal is right handed and plays left handed. If someone has issues with a non-dominant hand then it’s time to start making the other one dominant.
