What?

Little Miss Contrary.
Strangely, I got my letter saying my “postal vote forms will arrive soon” two days after I received the postal vote forms. I got confused for a moment there!
Most of the big names in the flerf community are grifters, for sure. But many of the people who follow them are genuine believers. I have a relative who’s a die-hard flerfer.
Sheeps and Neeps was a small time flerfer who literally died because his conspiracy theory beliefs about cancer treatment, and there was that guy who went up in a rocket and came down in pieces. So some of them really do believe it. In my relative’s case, he went through a lot of trauma, flerfers give him a sense of belonging and something to hold onto.
My fella found this talk useful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnSEbLX94Tk He used to smoke the mild stuff (low THC), but it’s the cigarettes he’s been struggling with. He’s on his third attempt, but after using the technique (TL;DW: your brain doesn’t understand negative commands, replace it with a positive command. Instead of “I need a joint”, try “I need air” or “I need clarity” or whatever feeling you’re aiming for) he’s feeling a lot more positive that he’ll stick with it this time. I tried to get him to read the Allen Carr stuff, but he’s not much of a reader. Other people swear by it though. It’s available on a certain library beginning with z if you want to give it a taster. Also learning a new skill can give you the same dopamine hit that your addiction does, so take up a hobby, learn a language, etc.
Good luck!
Same, I tried ecosia too, only to get the same error.
I’m 39 and my hips are already gone and I have trigger thumb.
I just had a colleague mock me (good naturedly) the other day for having an android phone. I just laughed and said, I’m no fan of Google but at least I can install what I want on here. That was the end of it, haha.
The company I work for insists on almost every damn bit of stock arriving in delivery to be wrapped in a plastic bag. I’ve complained to management, they just laugh. Apparently I can’t have any contact details for head office (not surprising since I’m not even allowed to contact HR directly and have to talk to them via a store manager). That’s like 1000+ items coming in twice a week where almost all of it is individually wrapped in a bag.
Not only is it a pointless waste of plastic, but it doubles how long it takes to clear the stock as I have to take everything out of the bag (which is sealed both ends a lot of the time) instead of just putting it straight onto the shelves. I’m almost tempted to set up a twitter account so I can @ them. Almost, but not quite.
My previous employer did the same thing, but at least we had a way to talk to head office and a bunch of us complained so they did remove most of the plastic and started to use a band of paper to hold stock together, or a paper wrapper to protect delicate stuff. They went bust though.
Every time I hear the phrase trickle down, I just get images of Liz Truss weeing on the rest of us.
Yes. I rarely print documents, but as a hobby arts and crafter, I do print of lot of stuff for my projects. Screw inkjets, but they do have a really high resolution in photo mode, which is the only reason I haven’t ditched my nightmare printer for a laser yet.
Give me the Necropolis, or give me death!
Hey, that’s my family history! How did you get that?
My fella quit smoking at the end of September and has been using a reusable vape to stay off. I’m not a fan of vapes myself, but it’s definitely preferable to fags.
In my thread asking for advice on how to support him quitting, a lot of advice was: use vapes
I had a listen to the Sliced Bread podcast about it hoping it might help wean him off vapes, but after listening to it, I feel a bit better about it. Link if you’re interested https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qtqk
It’s like when companies make a big fuss about how their clothes are made from recycled plastic bottles - so eco! - but instead of plastic bottles in the seas, it’s now microfibres from your clothing shedding into the washing machine and entering the water that way. I wish there was more movement towards hemp fabric.
Getting a workplace unionised is an uphill battle here too. Unless your company already has an officially recognised union, no one wants to join. I tell them it’s £9.65 a month and they’re like, yeah forget it.
What bothers me about where I work is as a bike technician, we actually have the same job title and pay as the till staff who do no skilled work at all. And on top of that, we also have to cover for them (for instance, even though I work in the bike section, I was forced to do car seat training even though the auto section till staff should be the ones doing it). So we’re doing skilled work, plus their work and we get the same pay. But no one is interested. They’ll grumble and groan, but actually doing something about it is too much to ask.
I’ve only just got a computer that can play games from 2005 onwards (no kidding my netbook could handle sims 2 at the most). I’ve also started playing Witcher 3 (got the complete collection for £8) and just bought a controller the other day. I don’t care about fancy cutting edge graphics; good storyline and gaming experience is what matters.
