You there scrolling the timeline! Was your life happier back in the days of yonder before you used the Internet regularly? I think most would say yes! See what I learned from my journey back into Eden here:

The lady in red has a story:
Her husband abandoned her and the family. She struggled to make ends meet. She battled drug addiction for years. But she didn't give up.
Today, she watched her 40 year old son become the Vice President of the United States.
What a country.
I believe people in the west, particularly the elderly, view World War 2 not as a historical event, but a mythological one, that serves as the origin story for modern morality. Join me as I explain why.

Christianity has been understood well for millennia, but today there is confusion. Join me as I investigate the attempt of some to warp this faith into something it isn’t- and perhaps more importantly, why.

The UK is drifting, unhappy, losing faith in previously respected institutions (like the police), buffeted by extremists (often allowed to run amok), dismayed by decline, angry at the inability of the political class to do anything about it, despairing that the Westminster politico/media bubble pursues an agenda, issues and priorities (look at the obsession with Lee Anderson) which are not most people’s — and had enough of being lectured to by a disconnected, de haut en bas chattering class. Yet we have a Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition incapable of speaking up for the moderate majority, who still have pride in their country and are desperate for strong leadership and guidance through the current morass — plus some hope/sign things will get better — all within the bounds of traditional British tolerance and fair play. This vacuum is dangerous.

With all of the doom and gloom future forecasts on the rise of AI, I’ve been pondering on a not so obvious positive possibility that may arise from it becoming ubiquitous. The end of big brother?

So I spent yesterday evening having a quiet night in. At around 11 pm I began to smell smoke *inside my flat*.
I went out to investigate…
This is a somewhat angry (but evidence-based) wood-burning thread.
*trigger warning* for urban wood-burners!

Finally getting a year long streak on Duolingo feels like what I imagine getting out of jail is like. You just count the days up rather than down. This is a self inflicted masochism. No more!!
@Rouniyn In my experience, it’s not bad for learning the basics, but there’s no way people could properly master a language with it I think. Granted, I suppose the basics is all it’s really for, so I can’t complain!
