I have to agree, entrenched benefits do people more harm than good long term. A health heart and mind can benefit from purpose and goals. Its hard to break out of of mental health issues, but you do have to climb out. Labour have been good traditionally at keeping people down and dependent.

That's the plan...resistance, unrest, pushback, feedback....no its terrorism.

It's using language and reporting to get you onside with silencing those that speak up.

Ive been switching to a lot more basic recipes. Simple and comforting. I started to try and perfect my malt loaf recipe.

I also wait till aldi has its cleaning week and bulk buy my handwash, soap powder, bin bags anything not perishable for roughly the year...i calculate my est usage). I the caterers size giant foil, rolls etc Even with olive oil, vinegar etc and decant. I find that because those things are sitting in the garage I don't just 'pop out' to the shops and end up buying stuff i don't need.

I doodle a lot, also consider some recycling. A lot of tips have a paint store. I often pick up cheap old necklaces and strop them for beads.

How about some outdoor resources like making crafts from pinecones or twigs, maybe whittling. Ask for donations of fabrics and sewing (machine likely needed).

Why would you pay more to advertise an overpriced brand on a product you paid for?

Personally I have a bunch of cheap and used bags that I look at and think hey that’s big enough or protected enough to carry item a, b, or c. Usually they come from a thrift shop not a store touted by someone trying to fleece me. Each to their own tho.

Learn how to resist and fight, even if it is quietly. We are not powerless. They monsters act this way because we have been quiet and not stood up.

This. Half of it is just marketed crap anyway. Keep your money and stop buying shit you don’t really need.

Its been obvious for ages. Brands rose, quality declined.

Get yourself to the second hand/op shops and buy older stuff. Might not look as pretty but it performs better. Same for utensils. Asian and Indian stores also do some decent quality cookware.

Is this a third wave? Anyone have the bingo board or some kind of %? I know the first wave hit around 15% of their storage capacity.

The love of rich is stronger than the hate of pedophiles, yes that is how it looks.

I can't understand it personally. Only one of those is actually a despicable crime. Worshiping rich is people idiotic to me, letting them be above the law, on that kinda crime goes well beyond idiotic.

I don't disagree with your assessment...but the fact they elected one to the highest office is a pretty powerful message (on normalization) to the rest of the world.

 

Hi all, as above i am looking for some personal blogs. I don't really like social media FB/Insta/TikTok etc so I am not looking for direction to them. Maybe YT is its exceptional and non advertisy.

I am just looking for individuals journals, and or genuine reviews of products and approaches. The internet is drowning in affiliate and compilation pages when I just want to have a look around at how other tackled it, and some reasonable priced products.

Happy for your stories too.

 

I use the native app. I follow #tags rather than people. So i often go on public view to do some exploring. I am noticing a lot more products/service for sale images is there a way i can filter them out? I like it here as i know its generally not add based but pixelfed is starting to feel when small business inserted themselves into insta.

This is not a facetious question. I know I can technically ask AI but i don't think this is a simple answer TBH, as I am confused about process, and I do not know enough about US politics.

All my life when observing US politics (which I don't really do for fun) there has generally been a very visible opposition leader, you know their name their stance etc. It's the same for most major powers. But for the USA I simply do not know anymore. I get the jist there is only 2 parties but the democratic party seems like its just disappeared. Previously there was news of candidates etc but that's just gone.

What is happening? and who is the leader of the opposition now?

I am not looking for a bunch of FTrump answers, it would be great to have a discussion that's rational and not about him.

 

One of mine is potato salad. I always add a good splodge of french dressing

Anyone got a secret ingredient for vegetable soup? ...mines always a tad bland. good chance to add requests.

 

As above switched to Linux and i am enjoying it i picked Ubuntu as TBH it was the first I came across. The last two times it has prompted me to update has caused a drama. First would only give me a black screen of text so I did a reinstall.

The latest one went fine it updated to 6.17.0-94 but i lost all networking no wifi By the looks of it the problem I have is i have an older device that has nvidia 580 graphics card. I have rolled back for now but questions are;

Is there a way to pre-emt this, as i feel now as soon as i restart it will jump back up and leave me without networking to resolve. its quite a faff trying to find out what to do on my mobile and typing it in the terminal.

Is it better to fix or try another distro?

 

Inspired by a few other posts and memes flying about. When I was young movies and tbh real life you would come across old people telling you that can’t trust the gov. To keep your cash at home etc. tell em nothing.

I am feeling it. I always assumed maybe about 60 it will happen to me. I kinda linked it to idle minds or a cognitive decline but lack of trust for me has arrived a lot earlier and I think I can rationalise to myself it’s more based on the gov actions rather than my circumstances.

So wha do you think in the magic age number that trust in the gov erodes? I’ll start. 42.

 

Trying to cut down on my social media so going back to rss. I prefer web-based to self hosting and i am looking for an EU/UK/Canadian/Aus option.

What ya got peeps?

 

Hi all i am new to self hosting, I have everything just about set up. I am on linux server (docker host). I am good with movies/tv VPN Jellyfin etc. For music I have llidar and slskd setup and both running. I have tinkered Wireguard and Finamp and had it working.

So i have these 2 problem/s I could do with some advice/opinions on if you guys would be lovely enough to help.

  1. I am currently using SLSKD more as I like partial albums. I then do a manual import via Wanted...this is cumbersome as i have to then add the artist etc in lidar, then go import the tunes.

  2. I have a ton of old spotify playlists for example 80s etc. I would like to be able to bring them in and automate it somehow rather than finding them one song at a time.

I hate AI but its somewhat helpful in these situations. It suggested adding soulmate (docker) that has been slightly problematic, i also saw tubifarry and another plugin.

What are your suggestions of a route to take for my problems...should i faff about further with soulmate or another option? Nice to meet you all 🙂

 

Im going back to old albums and this week, the mood is poignant Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.

 

Wheatstitch beanie. My wool was too chunky resulting in a bulked up hat. Lesson learned.
