Thanks for this reminder at the end. I sound similar, ‘normal unless everything collapses’ and I have got a lot better these past few years from just backing out of things more often

I’m not sure I understand this? Is this a reference to something?

BBC is publicly funded and generally aims to be factual so yes. The guardian and telegraph are good quality reporting but the guardian has extreme liberal bias and the telegraph has extreme conservative bias so you have to bear this in mind when drawing any conclusions. The Times is a bit more in the middle. All the tabloids like daily mail and the sun are trash for ‘the masses’, essentially clickbait before the internet existed.

Thanks for sharing. I’m not in this position myself right now but I do have similar kinds of fears for when I get older.

That’s a fair point!

For the sake of argument, what would you call a seat that was not next to the aisle? I’m not defending them but at the same time I’d understand window seat just means ‘against fuselage’, yet I agree this is a confusing term.

My dad is a retired driving instructor and has come across people similar to this. Undiagnosed learning difficulties are probably part of it, but in many cases the people that struggled also had English being not a native language. Maybe it is the combination of the two in these extreme cases

Maybe I need to try that, I zone out pretty quickly

Thanks for understanding, this happens when I speak to any of my closest friends, I just go off on something for like an hour and then realise and feel guilty afterwards

Yeah I’d rather he be obsessed with that than the other things he’s been preoccupied with domestically

I don’t think I’ve played a single one of his games and I’m guessing I’m probably not going to start now :p

Sadly yes ಠ_ಠ

Yeah, the first Mac I bought I only ever bought Snow Leopard as an upgrade, skipped other versions and then upgraded to Mountain Lion or whatever was the first free version. That’s basically 30ish spent over the entire almost 20 years I’ve been using Macs on actual software.

The comic is kind of dumb because it’s Microsoft who’ve typically made tons of money on software licenses, everyone knows that Apple makes their money on hardware.

It wasn’t updated every year. Major paid versions came out every 2 years or so. They became free when they started updating major versions annually

Go to the YouTube channel Reactistan, which is basically villagers in Pakistan reacting to various Western things. There’s a couple of ladies in that that wear the sleeve of bangles.

I really like this one

100% the case for me

Yeah unfortunately, I was always sort of teased at school as a wimp or whatever. It also makes me really scared of doctors etc

Yeah, I feel like this is an extension of masking to meet society’s expectations. I’ve done similar things as a kid and even now as a middle aged person there are situations where I find it really hard to be myself, I just roleplay as the character I know others want me to be so that they leave me alone.

Oh ok. I think this one is a bit over my head :p
