Match!!Why did the number of colorful checkmarks next to their username increase?
sexy_peachIf that was COVID it was worse for me than whatever is happening now
August 2019 was maybe when people who pay attention to international news were starting to hear about some concerning disease spreading across the ocean? Maybe not even that far into the epidemic.
ApyteleI remember outbreaks in China being a December thing actually. It was all very fast, I remember joking to myself over Christmas break that "oh look I wonder how that will affect me graduating" and a few months later it started getting less funny (I did graduate on time though).
Yeah I remember being in Bali in December and reading about it. Then it hitting news in the west in January and I think by February or March dozens of people were dying in Italy with overflowing hospitals.
The best my depression has ever got is just when I just accepted the rest of my life was going to be like this
Don't talk like that.
Things are going to get much worse.
This is the sad reality.
My life is worse in a lot of ways but I got stronger and soberer and am fighting back more now, so it's actually better. 2017-2021 I just sort of rolled over and let life pound away at me.
Big fucking oof right there
The world was much better circa 2018, but my life was dog shit back then.
Yeah, going from £8k to £25k makes things a lot easier. I can just go out and buy something stupid like a new bike or a kayak and don't really need to check my bank account first.
Living on £25k in modern Britain? And you can buy a kayak or bike?
Pray tell how? I'm on £46k and can just about afford food 😭
Out of the city, no kids, family home, lower standards, minimalist lifestyle. Pick one, or two, or all. The more of these you pick, the less you need.
I am in a city but not London or any of the big ones. Rent in the suburbs doesn't seem much more or less expensive, especially because smaller units just don't exist in the countryside, similar to how there's not actually much rent difference between comparable places in Croydon and Westminster.
I Def don't have kids or a family, I wouldn't say I live minimalist, but Def not to a very high standard.
I'd say the number 1 thing is the fact you have housing covered from what I understand. Considering a fairly small 1-bed flat for rent at around £1100pcm, that's £13200 per year.
A salary of £46,500 is about £37k take home, minus the £13k for rent you end up with only £23,800, so it's no wonder you feel comfortable on £26k, that's decently more than what I get at close to double the actual salary, especially if you also don't pay bills.
I bet it's south vs north thing
I live on the south coast. There is more to the south than London.
What were people sad about

Any recommendations?
Amphibia and Owl House are both fantastic

Yeah, I didn’t like the first two seasons of wheel of time. Too many changes and the execution was sub par. The third one is awesome though.
For All Mankind first two season are peak.
For me it's the even numbered ones that seem like the best of the show. Glad other people are finally watching it!
Really? I fell out during season 2. I realized at some point I was not watching sci-fi, but rather a lame melodrama of interpersonal emotional problems from all the characters.

Probably depends on what kind of viewer you are, Succession is entirely character driven and what's happening matters less than how the characters react to it, how they behave with each other.
It's probably pompous to say it's a more intellectual experience, but I believe it is, much like the hated Fly episode of Breaking Bad or the first season of Breaking Bad where "nothing happens"
*Strange New Worlds
Goddamn, I even google it just to make sure since it sounded strange when I wrote it, and google just sugggested it as a valid auto complete
Google knows the real world is a dystopia.
Andor's pretty good
Severance.
Which ones?
My Shit's Fucked Up
Well I don't see how
We are fucking fucked
So fucking fucked
I could fuck with this shit
A prophet.
At least non-voters in the United States can bask in the essence of their our purity, intoxicated by the aroma of their own flatulences, just as long as they can avert their gaze from their own blood-stained hands. Mentally mediocre creatures that they are.
my personal life actually got better, just everything else not
