Ive been switching to a lot more basic recipes. Simple and comforting. I started to try and perfect my malt loaf recipe.

I also wait till aldi has its cleaning week and bulk buy my handwash, soap powder, bin bags anything not perishable for roughly the year…i calculate my est usage). I the caterers size giant foil, rolls etc Even with olive oil, vinegar etc and decant. I find that because those things are sitting in the garage I don’t just ‘pop out’ to the shops and end up buying stuff i don’t need.

I doodle a lot, also consider some recycling. A lot of tips have a paint store. I often pick up cheap old necklaces and strop them for beads.

How about some outdoor resources like making crafts from pinecones or twigs, maybe whittling. Ask for donations of fabrics and sewing (machine likely needed).

Why would you pay more to advertise an overpriced brand on a product you paid for?

Personally I have a bunch of cheap and used bags that I look at and think hey that’s big enough or protected enough to carry item a, b, or c. Usually they come from a thrift shop not a store touted by someone trying to fleece me. Each to their own tho.

Not a bad start on quality. Until people stop paying for tat (physical or digital) quality will continue to slide.

Learn how to resist and fight, even if it is quietly. We are not powerless. They monsters act this way because we have been quiet and not stood up.

This. Half of it is just marketed crap anyway. Keep your money and stop buying shit you don’t really need.

Its been obvious for ages. Brands rose, quality declined.

Get yourself to the second hand/op shops and buy older stuff. Might not look as pretty but it performs better. Same for utensils. Asian and Indian stores also do some decent quality cookware.

Is this a third wave? Anyone have the bingo board or some kind of %? I know the first wave hit around 15% of their storage capacity.

The love of rich is stronger than the hate of pedophiles, yes that is how it looks.

I can’t understand it personally. Only one of those is actually a despicable crime. Worshiping rich is people idiotic to me, letting them be above the law, on that kinda crime goes well beyond idiotic.

I don’t disagree with your assessment…but the fact they elected one to the highest office is a pretty powerful message (on normalization) to the rest of the world.

I love Erin’s work, and i would love to see JR on stage with her for this cause.

You can’t unsee him - Unfortunately

and to add Unfortunately is not a strong enough word.

And please could they not have placed him next to poor Phoebe

This puts the US admin in a weird spot. This guy is charged with possessing CA images. Will the USA protect him or hand him over?

It kinda sets a precedence in a way on if pedos are protected or not. We all know the reality but in such a high profile situation like this where there is a charge and he is not politician what will they do?

IMO, Given he is partially African American and generally operated out of the UK, they will hand him over, but that sends the very clear message pedos are to be punished.

Interesting position that’s occurring here (I suspect by design of the UK) . The USA protects its pedophiles, however verbalizing protection of a non white not fully American pedophile is a possible stretch.

Thanks, read full spectrum resistance” Aric McBay i will take a look at practical anarchism, i think that is the next step. I have took a lot in mentally, and i have had lots of conversations. I make small steps esp with my economical power. I also try to understand my language in empowering others.

I have also been trying to support small local groups.

I think the practical side is whats missing now.

This. And we need to stop thinking of anarchy and dissent as a bad thing. I do not like violence and will always choose to negotiate but we have rolled over too much and are being taken advantage off.

I am learning how to be a part of something.

I don’t watch the news…is there something happening about this amendment or is this just a meme?….i can no longer tell the difference.

I’ve always been a positive and happy person. I’m currently stuck in a bad patch, so I am finally maybe starting to appreciate my sad side. I know every storm passes so right now maybe my perseverance mixed with some letting myself stop and saviour darkness. It’s an odd combo, they almost compete.

I also love this take. Keep up the mood rants!
