@FlashheartV2 Stoics such as Epictetus & Marcus Aurelius held that fighting against that beyond your control leads only to suffering
True freedom and happiness comes from aligning your desires with the immutable realities of your particular universe*

@joannaccherry You are malcontent and, along with a great many others, rightly so
My cousin was very active in SNP for many years. And then he wasn't. Broke all links
Closest he ever got to explaining was a muttered reference to "self interested scum"
@DanNeidle Many have no idea what many "Charity Shops" actually are: commercial enterprises often not run by charities but "for benefit of" charities (after extraction of very substantial management and administration charges of course) but still permits a Business Rates exemption claim
@proptechpioneer Leasehold flats in parts of London not doing well
One of my younger colleagues very unhappy: he and partner are "totally stuffed" with no way out

@theiaincameron Work colleague got sniffy when I would not sponsor him for his "Everest Quest"
"But it's for Charity!"
No it wasn't. It was yet another of his vanity activities dressed up in a humble brag
@DomRants_ It was.

Cue companies spending wildly to give impression of positive activity and progress
Now it's Tokens
Humans are stupid
@GeoffBuysCars Richest person I know dresses like he works the land (because he does), daily driver an ancient HiLux
Wife and daughter drive "New leased shit I really don't care about and never want to own"
One of those is a VW PHEV which has so far spent more time at dealer than on road
@davidrichards Standard Chartered and the comment was a reference to AI increadingly replacing back office functions in India, Malaysia, Poland and China
@fesshole Ask him how it compares to 4k BluRay in terms of Bitrate, Compression, Artifacts, Brightness, Colour and Audio quality
The answer all too often is quite poorly, especially on bigger screens with a quality audio system
@Artemisfornow Yet another one fully immersed in the lefty bubble: PPE ->researcher for Labour MP (Emily Thornbury)->Islington Council->Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development-> Labour MP
Useless drone
