This is a great resource, thanks for sharing

Sertraline. It’s helped hugely with depression and anxiety, though I think Covid helped with the latter as well. I struggle to feel anything much these days but it’s much better than feeling low and anxious.

I cancelled Netflix a few months ago and that was my only subscription out of the main ones (I currently have a subscription to Nextup which is a comedy streaming platform but that’s it). I haven’t missed it much as there’s not been anything on there that I’ve been keen to watch. If there ever is I’m sure I can find another way to watch it. I find I am using my free channel streaming apps more though (BBC iPlayer/Channel4, etc).

I would do loads of degrees. History, English, Psychology, Politics, Spanish, etc. Having the brain space to focus on learning would be amazing. I did my masters part time while working full time and it was a nightmare. Glad I did it but I couldn’t do my best as I was bogged down in work stuff.

I would also like to learn more languages. I do a bit of Spanish and Danish when I can but I rarely have the mental energy after work.

Travel too. Maybe write a book.

I still think they’re real.

It’s in pockets of Tumblr as well, feels so dystopian. I’m all for language change but this depersonalising of terms like ‘kill’ is just creepy

That’s a thing?!

How is that relevant?

In all honesty nothing in particular, moreso that I want to explore what’s possible. I used IFTTT for things like switching WiFi on when my phone was in a specific location, saving emails with receipts/order confirmations to somewhere central like Google Drive (though trying to find a non-google alternative). I also liked the Pocket integration.

This is my favourite answer

I can’t say I got that impression from them to be honest. Feels like you have assumed a lot from a couple of comments (though I totally get being jaded after a while of seeing the same kind of thing).

I think this could be a really interesting thing to explore both sides of the argument as I do think you have a point. Just seems like you’re both interpreting it differently in terms of tone (which I guess fits in a way, given your stances)

Since giving waterboarding a go

…I feel like there’s some missing context here but I’m not sure I want to ask

Not just America unfortunately. The UK government did this too, their part should not be forgotten.

Why are you assuming they’re arguing in bad faith?

The age of the book is irrelevant, the philosophical ideas are still worth engaging with, even if you don’t agree with them

Cats definitely wouldn’t

I mostly use it to buy ebooks, handy for when there’s a sale on

I really hope the stigma is fading. Looking at this thread black cats seem popular which is great to see (obviously not representative of everyone)

I love black cats and tortoiseshells. Had a lovely tortie on my street growing up who would talk to you and follow you up the street every day 💙 (let’s not have the outdoor cat argument please, not my cat, this is the UK, etc).

I adore Ragdolls aesthetically but never interacted with one so not sure I would get one as a pet until I had.

I am slightly biased against ginger cats as there was another cat on my street growing up who would scratch us after seeking us out for pets. I don’t dislike them but I probably wouldn’t get one

That sounds like a nightmare to be honest. Not something I would dream of using.
