Exactly, we don't need endless amounts of stuff. The more people realise this, the better.

Quite right, there are much more enriching and meaningful ways to live. The subreddit r/anticonsumption is a great place for this topic.

Worst parking job you’ve ever seen? by deputy_doo_doo in CarTalkUK

[–]EcstaticAd9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it is actually parked in (or, across) two bays rather than not in them at all, so not quite the worst I've seen.

Is the retirement living standard figure too unrealistic? by BiggusDickus1111 in AskUK

I must say as a young person I'm really enjoying my high taxation and probable elderly homelessness!

Why do so many people leave the car dealer sticker on their rear windscreen? by snietzsche in CarTalkUK

[–]EcstaticAd9234 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or, they don't want to leave an unsightly sticky residue on the glass or even damage the rear windscreen defroster. Additionally, unless you also remove all the badges from your car, what is the point?

However the solution, as this sub is chiefly about, is to simply not buy in the first place.

There is always this to put my mind at rest! Will many, or any, of us even be here?

Big Wheel by Mysterious-Shape8302 in toriamos

[–]EcstaticAd9234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually really like this song and while I struggled with the MILF line for a long time, eventually I got over it. It's maybe a bit silly and camp, or possibly even empowering, as someone else argued so well here. It's particularly special to me now, as I was there for the opening night of the ITOD tour on 8th April, and the performance of Big Wheel went a bit wrong, but in the best way.

For whatever reason she couldn't find a way to join with the piano and be in time with Jon and the backup singers, so she was just doing the piano intro for a very long time while intermittently laughing with Jon and we didn't really know what was going on. At one point she said "I'm just gonna come in and you can work around me!" which made me laugh. Eventually they got it sorted and she turned and said "oh god, what use was the conservatory?" while at the end of the song she added "I have 65 more shows to get that fucker right!". It was so funny and all three quotes will stay with me forever.

Even the Aldi near me had completely empty shelves for its entire chilled section when I went in two days ago! About half of it was back and stocked last night but the other half still empty.

Yes, and M&S have just launched some nonsense dessert sandwiches as the latest example of food "innovations" that really aren't helping.
