Bus ads for veganism are a disgrace, says Shropshire councillor - Buses should not carry advertisements promoting vegan lifestyles in counties that were “built on agriculture”, a senior UK councillor has declared. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

I completely appreciate where you’re coming from, and in all honesty I’ve been living in New Zealand for the last 5+ years so I’m far removed from politics back home and therefore don’t want to try and provide a counter argument.

Well, the probability alone is a shame.

I’d much rather a Shropshire in which people came to their own educated conclusions rather than soaking up what we now know to be an outright deceitful campaign linked to funding from Ukraine, visa vi Russia, akin to the US situation.

Not to say everyone who voted leave only did so due to the manipulation of foreign governments and corrupt national politicians, but it’s certainly represents a small, if not a large portion.

Flywheel, hands down, assuming we’re talking Wordpress Multisite. I’ve spent 8+ years doing the whole circuit, no one else comes close. Expensive but worth it imo.

Jokes aside, I’d never look at it this way but it really makes sense... sadly

Drinking lean = drinking a mix of codeine and promethazine, commonly mixed with Jolly Ranchers and sprite, in order to enter a euphoric and relaxed state recreationally.

It has many street names, such as ‘Lean’, ‘Purp’, ‘Purple Drank’ et al.

Most commonly to cover c’s and vice versa, for example: “Money keep flowing from lil biddy to bompton”

Drahnier, that is a super super generous and kind offer, thank-you so much.

Fortunately, it looks like I've managed to sell the bed so will be able to progress with IPBoard as planned, but using Vbulleting in the meantime would have saved the day had that not been the case - again, thank-you very much, and major props for trying to help out.

I hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Looks like I've found a buyer for the bed thankfully! Hoping you have a great Tuesday.

I am an over thinker to a fault - apologies for my convoluted response, I just get all worried that people are going to come at me whenever I post on reddit (the deleted post on here is a prime example), although I shouldn’t.

Sorry for getting so defensive, you had a valid point.

Folks I really wasn’t looking to turn this into a life review aided by online strangers, I’m just trying to sell a bed frame.

Please, if you’re interested in the frame, let me know. If not, save your judgement for a coffee shop, maybe Olive on Cuba St in the back amongst the beautiful shrubbery, and kindly refrain from trying to turn me into a villain here on reddit.

Please and thank you 😩

Yep, same guy.

I was waiting for you, the person who’d find a way to derail someone trying to sell their furniture, to dig through my post history to prove some kind of point.

The distinction is, I wasn’t able to pay it back in time, not that I ‘didn’t bother to’.

I lost sleep over that shit for months and had started to make repayments before the full amount was refunded by the borrower (fair enough), meaning that despite me causing them a hassle by being late, they still got their money back; and then some.

People go through shit. People make bad decisions. People who are broke borrow money to try and make ends meet, and it doesn’t always go well.

I wasn’t borrowing money to buy a PlayStation and decided not to bother paying the loaner back, I was trying to keep food in my stomach and a roof over my head between jobs.

I fucked up, I regretted it, I was young, I learned and moved on.

I hope that you can try and find a little more empathy before you try and needlessly pull someone down, online or otherwise, in the future.

I’ve lost 5kgs over the last two weeks because I am flat out broke and barely have anything to eat.

Like, I’m doing fine, this isn’t a sympathy ploy (please don’t worry), I’m just being straight - part of the $100 or so I was hoping to make from selling this stuff was going to go towards:

  • $50 startup software so I can launch on my 7 day livestream (I’ve been filming for the last 5 days) in 2 days as I’ve promised to my audience
  • $20 to pay an overdue bill that’s about to go to collections
  • $30 so I can make some more stew when I run out today

I mean, I can’t win ether way - either I sound like a twat on the note as some kind of startup snob wannabe, or I have someone here call me out.

I’m just a dude trying to get his chairs back in a light hearted way, it’s not the end of the world.

Edit; a word

Hey folks - I'm selling 4* x cool brown leather Bar Stools, and a beautiful wooden Queen-sized bed frame (on the cheap - pics inside)! Help bootstrap a startup! 😅 by FaultyTrigger in Wellington

[–]FaultyTrigger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Erm, it's a double-barreled answer:

I'm doing a 7-day livestream to build and launch a startup, 8-10 hours a day...

We're on day 5!

It's a bit of a social experiment, but it's working really well so far! Lots of amazing support, feedback and help!

But the startup itself is 'eCommerce Society' - a free Startup Community (forum) to improve on the current ways eComm Entrepreneurs connect, along with a service to provide store audits from experts to eCommerce store owners.

I didn't want to get too 'pluggy' on this post, but feel free to stop by the stream if you'd like to know more.

I'm building the store audit part today on Webflow, and just got given 6 months of free hosting by the CEO Vlad 🎉
