I was reading the Careless People book about Meta.

One thing that stood out to me was the presentation of the tech early birds or the folk who dodged the dotcom bubble bursting - she specifically used the term “economically insensitive”. People who made their money from big tech’s initial offerings and their own shares going through the roof, being set up for life, and basically working for the love of the game.

It’s wild. If I’d gotten to the point where I’d paid off the mortgage and had enough in the buffer to catch any unexpected bills or travel costs or whatever, then yeah maybe I’d go geese farming or otter rehoming or llama cuddling or something.

Nah.

It was probably unenforceable, and just a scare tactic.

Still absolute mince though.

pure dead mental down the Quay, so it is but

My dentist has had the nerve to add a “lateness will be charged at £1 per minute late” to the end of the reminder SMS messages… which I can understand to a certain degree, but the dentist didn’t really like it when I suggested I get a discount of £1 per minute after the appointment time that the dentist called me through.

I know it’s all bullshit but the double standard baffles me.

“knock knock”

“Who’s there”

“The interrupting cow”

“The interrupting cow wh…” “MOOOOOOO”

A dear friend with a neurodivergence explained her journal to me as cue cards for different places, emotions, and experiences she’d had.

Much like a great dream, most of the memories would turn to smoke without a written pointer of what it was she’d done that day.

It’s a daily list of reminders

I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m thrilled that you can write those three sentences which shows how much you cared for her and how few regrets you had.

Be kind to yourself and enjoy the memories.

Who’d have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!

It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.

I mean, very few people would report symptoms of a runny nose or a fever after licking the socket…

Sounds fuckin’ mint to be fair.

Get me some tourism and carbs.

how the fuck are they not extinct?

Fancy new Wet Ass Filter

FH1 was absolutely brilliant. Combined with a racing wheel, it genuinely felt like the Forza Motorsport series had been let loose, literally.

Each subsequent FH release has just been… cool, I guess? The next four iterations weren’t really groundbreaking and it felt like map packs than new games.

The soundtrack has consistently been absolutely banging though

That’s a Pearl Abyss and a half

didn’t even know 'um

Man I haven’t been to Blackpool since I was a kid. The parents used to love seeing the illuminations and riding the tram to Fleetwood and back.

I hear it’s a little more run down now and the poster child for socially deprived towns, which is a real shame.

Memories.

well technically you don’t gotta

It’s just very helpful for things like mortgages and bills and stuff.
