I don't have many talents besides being extremely stubborn and principled.

@A1an_M I agree that everywhere in the world seems much less foregin that it used to... I'm not sure if that is a reflection of having spent a large part of my life 'abroad' or just globalism taking hold.
@treycallie@delbigtree Don't be too hard on yourself, it was a military grade psyop after all! Most people I speak to say they didn't want it but gave in due to pressure from work/family, it wasn't easy to say no, I have never felt so isolated from everyone I know since I announced I wasn't getting one
@JaneyORourke@delbigtree Feel like I'm looking in a mirror reading this!
My boss actually said I needed to be 'ring-fenced' for my own protection and that of others.
Now we have had a ton of people leave the company on medical grounds. And a load more on long term sick.
I've never had a day off sick.
This was a joke, of course, but I was making a serious point.
You can't become a victim of data theft if you don't give people your important data.
You don't become a victim of adverse reactions to medicines if you avoid medicines.
You can't be a victim of NHS errors if you avoid the NHS.
"Ah! But I can't avoid giving away my data, and I can't avoid taking medicines and I can't avoid engaging with the NHS" you may say.
Are you sure?
Go on, give it a try.
@_InThisTogether I never ate this at school, but my mother made it almost weekly, I don't know why everyone has got so squeamish about organ meats.
It's disrespectful to the animal not to eat all of it if you're going to kill it, and we're missing out on so many nutritional benefits.
The pound has lost 69% of its purchasing power since 2000.
A loaf of bread that cost 50p now costs £1.40.
A pint that cost £2 now costs £6.
A house that cost £80,000 now costs £280,000.
Your wages did not keep up.
Nothing you did caused this.
They printed. You paid.
And they are about to do it again.
You and your children will work harder for less forever to pay back decades of government incompetence.
@ActivePatriotUK Dude, are you actually planning to eat any local food while you're over there?
You're seriously missing out, and a fresh cooked meal will literally cost like £1
No musical observations... the weather on the other hand... anyone meteorological care to tell me the technical name for those lines in the sky?
And don't say 'con trails'
This is absolutely true.
I lived for many years in Spain without a job, and everyone I met was just astounded at how I could 'live' without working (especially at my then young age)
It drove one particular (older) guy nuts, I used to refer to it as my 'reverse retirement'
The biggest flex in life is literally just not having to work
Nobody really cares how big your house is, what watch you wear, or what kind of car you drive
Nothing makes people more jealous than someone with a mysterious source of income who lives life on their own terms
There's actually a lot to be said for a quiet, stable life.
We could definitely all benefit from living in the 'now'.
A motto I've lived by for the last 16+years is "I'd rather regret something I've done, than the things I never did" (in simpler terms - say yes to everything)
@Ghost8099110002@KILLTOPARTY Wow your post makes me want to cry, does everyone truly have such terrible relationships these days?!
(glad I'm not single!)
@GiffLasta Easy - she's bored because he runs around after her like a puppy instead of taking charge. He needs to set boundaries and start leading, in life as well as the bedroom. Women actually don't want you to do chores and then make them feel like they should be grateful. Huge turnoff.
@Babygravy9 You forgot the bit where human caused 'climate change' is a myth... we're on our way into a grand solar minimum, so it's gonna get a lot colder for at least the rest of my liifetime... good for the polar bears but not so much my cup of tea
@Babygravy9 Yeah 100% pec development has always been inherently gay coded. Least athletic, least functional, chicks don’t like it. It’s a gay guy thing.
I have never worshipped nor idolised anyone, it is just not the way I see the world. Others need to earn my respect, as I should theirs.
Simple as that.
If only others were not so easily sucked in.
