"Leave it, it's not your job to tidy up. The waitress will do it - it's what she's paid for."

... and if I can spend 20 seconds making her job a tiny bit easier for her with zero negative effects for myself? Why wouldn't I do that?

If you have a choice, always be kind.

@palminvesting The challenge with saying 'there's so much info, just Google something!' is... that there's so much info.

Folks don't know what they don't know, and just thinking about where to start can be super overwhelming.

And that's not including the BS that's out there now, unfortunately

@Investmentkage I'd respect the right to vote - not necessarily the person. Respect must be earned, and if someone votes for an individual who wants to remove safety and rights from other people because of who they are rather than something they've done... They're not worth my respect.

@Rawk_FI I find it fascinating, personally. Most folks still want to work, but on their own terms. It does reinforce the idea of UBI for me, tbh. 😅😂

Also, the world is on fire. Folks may as well enjoy what they can, when they can. Nothing is stable anymore.

@DruidessThe @adamfare1996 'They're in a same-sex relationship' is better than assuming they're gay. :)

I'm married to a woman, and people refer to me as a lesbian even though I'm not (ironically my wife is, though 😅) - I'm pansexual. :)

@MrBudgetBill You're focusing on the wrong thing, imo.

The issue won't be the fact that the accounts are separate. It'll be the lack of communication around money (which may or may not be causation for the former).

@InvestorJared Start! Don't overthink and just throw a few pounds into an ISA, then make sure you choose the most aggressive investment option (usually 90-10 stocks/bonds). Make it a solid % of your income to start with.

Also, keep up with learning video editing, don't drop the hobby. 🥲

@sunsopeningband Pop it in a smoothie! :) Or 'kale crisps' are surprisingly delicious. In the oven for about 15 mins with a bit of oil and salt (I often put smokes paprika on it as well).

A gentle reminder for anyone 'fed up' with all of the UK political 💿🐎 today:

- Reading/consuming media is inherantly political (even if not in the way you might think)
- Advocacy is more important now than ever
- Sod the Tories
- ALL media is political (in different ways)

[Sara Slack(ing Off) @SJSlack22]

It's Friday, the sun is shining, the birds are singing...

... and the Tories have suffered a massive defeat.

It's a good day to have a good day. 😀

@DividendEng Yup, and it was one of the best things I ever spent too much money on. 😂

Not for career - I mean, no-one needs an MA in English, but I learned how to learn that year, and a lot about myself, and it gave me space to start my side-business, too. :)

An eye-opening breakdown: #Labour versus #Tory economical differences.

Labour (historically) has been better for worker compensation.

But going against the idea that the Tories are "better with money" - turns out Labour do much better with fiscal debt!

@BeeMoneySavvy I used to regularly appear on stage in Oxford (couple of times a year). I stopped about 8 years ago and I miss it 🥲.

@MattLaneWrites You could open it up to minoring in SEO. 😂

Here with my emotional support gin and tonic while I watch a TV breakup (en español) that I'm way too invested in as a guiri. 🫠

Makes my continued Spanish learning more interesting (and heartbreaking) though!

@MrBudgetBill If you constantly refer to your partner as 'the ball and chain', you should probably get a divorce. 🙃 If you're not happy with your spouse, you either work on it or get a divorce.

Likewise if you don't 'let them' have friends of the opposite gender (if hetero). Get therapy.

"According to recent studies..."

Derek, if you don't link the study in your Twitter thread, I'm not trusting you. "Recent studies suggest" isn't any more trustworthy than "my auntie's hairdresser mentioned..."

Bring. Receipts. Or stop making stuff up for clout.

Just saw a fitness account giving his 'top 31 pieces of advice' for getting into shape.

Most of them were sensible and solid.

But then...

"Learn to cook, or marry a girl who already knows."

Holy heteronormativity/patriarchy, Batman! 😵‍💫

Anyone else get the ick from this?

[Sara Slack(ing Off) @SJSlack22]

@anymanfitness Apart from the people who don't actually feel hunger?

Or the people who've cracked volume eating?

Sincerely, someone who's included in both of the above and is on a 1kg-per-month gentle (sustainable!) fat loss journey for the last 4 months.
