@godspeed_aflame My English Lit degree pretty much killed my appetite for reading anything except entertaining, plot-heavy, competently written genre fiction. One chapter of one decently written crime thriller impresses me more than everything Virginia Woolf ever wrote. Many such cases.
@LeckyIntake@owlsndat@Glinner There’s a chance anyone could be. There’s a chance you could be. Nothing Graham has posted makes me think it’s likely, however.
@GMFinX It all depends on your priorities. The best thing you can is speak to an experienced, qualified financial advisor. The worst thing you can do is listen to anyone on this shithouse app who tells you to do anything different.
@NotTheirScript When was the last time you actually met a socialist in real life? A real socialist, I mean. Not just some guy who thinks everyone should have healthcare, a proper “Seize the means of production!” style socialist?
These people are almost nowhere. Who are you even talking to?
@ArtemisConsort@MillennialWoes You forgot:
“Do you apply this rigorous, Olympic level hairsplitting to the <insert their actual ethnicity here> people?”
“Bigot!”
@Nigel_Farage You won’t do anything, ever, because you’re a scheming, grifting, blustering loudmouth whose only function is to lie to the British people about the true cause of their problems, and now that everyone knows what a catastrophe your Brexit was you’ll never get into power.
@mrkocnnll Thing is, her whole schtick is basically “Well written genre fiction that actually cares about telling a good story in an unpretentious way should get more respect”, and she’s absolutely right.
@unusual_whales If the average lifespan becomes 100, and you’re not really “old” until you’re 120, then retiring at 65 will be seen the same way as retiring at 45 is seen today, and retiring at 85 will be a much more sensible norm.
@owlsndat@Glinner He’s not “making it about him”. If he didn’t make a post like this then sooner or later some arsehole would inevitably accuse him of being a pervert by virtue of that paper-thin association. Graham has a lot of bad-faith enemies. Gotta get out ahead of them.
@Mark_Hobin To be fair, ITOET is an incredible film. Genuinely one of the most unsettling movies I’ve ever seen. I thought Ad Astra was pretty good, too.
