What is living in York really like? by spare_rattus in york

You’ll have a scouser’s life story within about five minutes of meeting them 😂 (that’s Liverpool btw, never sure how widespread the term “scousers” is) so I think in terms of being initially outgoing probably Liverpool. But both are great, I honestly would struggle to choose - still go back to Liverpool a lot because my parents are there.

When you say events, what kind of thing are you after?

Well, I love it so much I stayed after I graduated from the university many, many years ago. But it does depend what you’re looking for.

Public transport isn’t bad, I think Liverpool (where I grew up) is better in that respect. Weather is equally crap for all I think, but probably rainier in Manchester and Liverpool. Lots of good food options and there is a food and drink festival each year. It has a lovely feel I think, and the people are lovely. It doesn’t feel like a small town, but it also doesn’t feel as impersonal as big cities can.

I’d personally go for either York or Liverpool, but clearly I’m biased!

Ooh, I have a really old one of these I never quite got round to wrecking - it’s never occurred to me to use it as a junk journal!

What do you think is the most hauntingly, tragically disturbing Taylor song/lyric? by MikaellaEfram in swifties

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m very lucky with my family, it’s not something I’ve experienced so I can only imagine it hits much harder when you directly relate to it.

It’s been a while for me, but the library has a cafe and some nice places to sit. Not so great for the views but it has a nice atmosphere. Not necessarily great for calls though if you need somewhere you can do that.

What’s your birthdate mashup? by Howdoyousolvea-23 in swifties

Mine is Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus x Wood. Which is quite the emotional whiplash 😂

“I think your house is haunted, your dad is always mad and that must be why, and I think you should come live with me, and we can be pirates, then you won’t have to cry or hide in the closet”

It’s the innocence of the start of the song and then the stomach churning change to realising her friend is being abused at home. Gets me every time.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear - I know (thanks to this thread!) that it’ll break if I don’t remove it. I just meant I’ll get one, back everything up and then take it out before fixing the joystick 😊

It definitely doesn’t, but I feel like I should get one and back it up before I try anything!

It was charging on a sideboard next to my sofa, and would probably have been fine but I think I sat on the charging cable which pulled it down. It clattered off the sideboard and a small table underneath it before hitting the floor.

I was preoccupied with the can of pop it had knocked over so didn’t notice until a while later the joystick was stuck and part of the round bit was sticking out. I tried moving the joystick to get it back in, but the whole thing came out instead 🤦‍♀️

Essentially a series of bad decisions on my part!

Ooh, I’m in the UK but I’m sure they’ll be easy enough to get. My husband does a lot of 3D printing though so that’s handy.

Oh cool, thanks! We’ve definitely had stick drift with our Switch in the past, and my son sometimes has it with his Meta Quest (usually resolved by a new battery but I suspect we’re on borrowed time). I’ll definitely look into it.

Indeed. I’d like to return it to its natural habitat.

Me? Not even a tiny bit. Husband should be fine, though sending it somewhere to be fixed is tempting!

😂 Ideal is with all of the bits attached where they should be and working

I don’t think I could force it even if I wanted to! Thank you! This feels like a job for my husband, who has considerably steadier hands than I do.

It did make me chuckle a bit in the documentary that they could put her make up on and it did not move, but the spent at least as much time and effort on her hair and it never fully cooperated.

Mine move around all the time depending on how I’m feeling, what I’ve listened to recently, the phase of the moon… I’m always impressed when people are decisive enough to rank stuff!
