I don’t think I agree with your benchmark. You might be at your lowest ebb, but they might be too. Your expectations are subjective and they can’t predict them. My cut off is cruelty. If you are malicious and inflict deliberate suffering I’m out.
Ugh, found the thread. That’s that ruined then.
No way! Where did this come out?! This is disappointing news.
The 20 minute claim is definitely shady, it is explored here on More or Less from 6:32 20 mins claim
Sometimes I look old just by the way that I touch the screen of my phone. Wtf.
I feel like a the rhythm of walking helps to moderate my thinking too. I make better decisions when walking, I’m calmer, I work things out. I’ve made key life decisions on long walks, and my partner and I deliberately take walks to work out difficult stuff. Great recommendation.
Madeira is pretty cool. The runway is on stilts, the approach is tricky and requires training, the cafe has a big balcony so you can watch the pilots do a tricky landing on a stilted runway with a beer.
When I’m running out of books I start asking anyone interesting that I’m talking to what they are reading. If they are into that book I buy it on the spot, while we’re still talking. Occasionally they are reading something completely shit, but I’ve hit some gems. Then you have something in common with that person which is a bonus.
I call for opening up Trump and removing his windpipe
Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. So fascinating. https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life
This is such a shame, I love Neal’s Yard. You go in there, and they just keep handing you little pieces of different delicious cheeses until you crumble and give them all of your money. It’s such a charming way of doing things, I overspend every single time, and never regret it.
‘Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements’ but like it’s from the minaret of a mosque run by the hard of hearing. It’s aggressive.
SKATE 2 had a totally banging soundtrack. No Swift. She has a terrible reach into the skate game history books.
I reckon you can still do it. Buying lumps of sawn hardwood is expensive, but if you start looking for what people throw away you can do it. You can find hardwood that is completely illegal to cut and sell these days if you look for mid century furniture that’s getting thrown out. Or softwoods. You’re not stupid, and you can carve if you want to.
A girl sidled up to me at college when I was About 18 and just said “you have beautiful veins”
The persistent bullshit cuntery is exhausting. This feels like a tactic, trumpian relentless attention grabbing. Fuck him.

I don’t feel like the British align themselves with the Romans either. Just one of many invaders. Has anyone got an example of the British considering themselves ’heirs’ to Rome?
Where are you? I think it depends on your location a lot.
