No valuables stored in this account overnight Mostly using this to follow subjects of interest - i.e. history, protest and environment - expect long periods of silence with outburts of sarcasm. Occasionally there may be memes.

The British passport intro blurb is one of the few things that makes me feel patriotic, itโ€™s just so pompously flamboyant and protective, so itโ€™s been a wild ride watching successive governments make it mean absolutely fuck all over the years

New wording; โ€œIn trouble abroad? Your fucked mateโ€

Iโ€™m a millennial, yes we know there is no such thing. As such the lack of work life balance just pisses me off

I want to be doing things outside the office as much as possible.

Instead lack of secure housing and money means Iโ€™m a forerunner of hustle culture or sitting worrying about the future

(Mostly) tofu and soy based full on set meals. Really unexpected find, itโ€™s tucked away on the second floor of a mall and the tables are in a labyrinth of meeting room style private alcoves.

folks we need to bring back forums. social media doesn't work. forums didn't work either but they were funnier and had more concentrated giant flameouts
