It’s too busy hunting for ad blockers to do things like actually work properly.
There are apparently some industries where there’s less production at home, I work in an industry where this isn’t the case though and it seems to be extrovert admin people pushing it, I think they think we’re all sad and lonely at home?
“It’s nice to come in and have people to talk to!”
Is it? Or are we all just being dragged in because you want chats?
“Sir, the people are so poor after all your cuts that they have to sleep on the streets, some of them have frozen to death, what should we do?”
“Take their money!”
“But sir, if they had money then they’d not be dead”
“TAKE THEIR MONEY!”
My dad never spent time with me because we didn’t share hobbies, I tried desperately as a kid to get into what he liked, but he never tried to get into what I liked. My mom knew the names of the kids on Barney, what snacks cheered me up, or what friends I had in school, my dad also lived in the house.
As adults we’ve found common ground in politics and TV, and we have a relationship now, but we’d have a much better relationship if he’d tried to hang out with me back then.
So I guess my advice is just hang out with her, whatever form that takes. Time is so important.
Mine is Rosie, the maid in the jetsons, cause it’s the future and I have a cleaning robot.
Disposable vapes are such nonsense, loads of single use plastic, sold freely all over, not even that cheap considering the use, and nobody puts them in the bin! They’re just all over the floor everywhere.
Fashion clothes, if you’re getting something that you’ll wear for one summer and then never again then Primark is fine.
Salt, sugar, most herbs and spices, it’s all the same stuff regardless of brands
Some snacks, often crisps are the same Aldi own brand as Walkers or whatever, or they’re perfectly good. Yes we all want some kettle chips sometimes but it’s all good, same for jelly sweets, a lot of chocolate, etc.
Hobbies for beginners, if you want to take up knitting then start with a cheap kit and upgrade as you get more serious.
There were definitely worse things, but we all had way more money. In the 90’s a person on a minimum wage job could get a mortgage, can you imagine?
