Yep, that’s how it feels when you get to my age

I’m fine going to the supermarket for a medium shop every week or two but being able to walk to get milk for my breakfast (especially if I only realised I’d ran out in the morning!) was so nice.

Now I don’t live in town any more, it’s an 11-mile drive to the nearest shop so it’s more like a once a month shopping trip. Fresh fruit and veg? What’s that?

If you want me to pay attention, stop trying to have a boring conversation with me /s

Seriously, I do try to pay attention but I just can’t sometimes :/

2016 election was an inside job! Trump fuel can’t melt Obama beams!

Yeah, Jesus actually said you should pay taxes. Give Ceaser’s things to Ceaser and God’s things to God.

Sorry, I don’t mean to blame you personally. I meant that the TSA / whole routine in an airport is pretty stupid, and people shouldn’t be attacking airplanes to make this security be the norm, and other similarly idealistic thoughts

There’s a good Philosophy Tube quote for this. (the presenter is a trans woman).

Apparently the operator of the scanner has to choose if you’re a man or a woman, so “Either my tits are the bomb or there’s an unexpected item in the shagging area”

“have to do”.

Hmm

Not even a nice pizza either, that’s clearly just a shitty microwave pizza

I’m guessing one of the dimensions is time, so we’re talking about an aged cheese. The fifth dimension, I’ve no idea what it could be

This is disgusting and wrong

… it should be “one fewer CEO”

I thought I’d remembered different names for it! I never made that connection though. I did try playing on Legendary this time around but it was too difficult. Halo 2 seems much harder than Reach, which was the last one I completed on Legendary. Maybe I’m just out of practice…

I don’t even know what X/Y is!

Visibly crumbles into dust from old age

Wait, the old white hereditary monarch whose country colonised huge parts of the world is racist? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!

I’ve just got off of my 360 playing Halo 2. I was playing the level with the tank, Ladies Like Armour Plating. Very fun :)

It’s ok, I don’t play Zelda. It’s more like I think Pokémon Blue was 10 years ago old but actually it was probably gen 4 (is that called Platinum?)

… I wish I hadn’t looked at Wikipedia now. Platinum was the third installment in gen 4 and that was 16 years ago. Apparently we’re up to gen 9 somehow

Literally like a week ago the transport secretary resigned because of a fraud case from 2014.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Haigh

(She says she did nothing morally wrong, and it was just an accident but was advised by her lawyer to plead guilty because she technically was guilty. She allegedly lost her phone, reported it stolen, then found the phone again so reporting it stolen was fraudulent.)

It seems a bit dumb to me, and it was over 10 years ago so who cares, but she stepped down because she thought that the whole scandal surrounding that the media kicked up was more trouble than its worth to the new Labour government. So actually maybe she didn’t resign out of shame? Hmm…

Well, I’ve typed all this out now so I’ll let you all decide what to think of it haha

Your cousin is secretly two cats in a trench coat t-shirt

If there’s enough profit to turn the CEO into a billionaire, there’s also enough profit to pay the workers more. Certainly, as you’ve said, things could be worse and there’s plenty of bad examples, these workers were still being underpaid relative to the value they produced

Why do you think it’s ethical that he get so much of the profit instead of the people who made the goods he’s selling, or the people working in his shops?

Edit: hopefully that didn’t sound too rude
