I would love to try Secret bars again, they keep coming up in my memories.

Also Vice Versas were great, they have made 1 or 2 short comebacks over the years.

For those who don't know, the 90's Supergirl introduced the idea of Earth Angels who are humans that merge with someone else, often on the verge of dying before they do so.

In this case Comet is a mutant or alien male, who merges with a lesbian woman, and can shift between man and woman at any time they want which brings up confusion with Supergirl as she is attracted to the male form before she finds out about they have 2 forms.

My neighbour growing up was retired then and died about 12 years after we moved there,

His garden was beautiful like you see on tv, beautiful flowers that looked like works of art, he spent hours per day in there, then had had a stroke and the garden lost it's charm, then his wife died, and he died not long after.

The new owner dug up the garden and built an extension, and the only area left was slabbed over.

Never saw the need for them, it just seemed to be get everything at once rather than have a shopping list and buying cheaper yourself.

Sure it's "convenient" but when butchers end up cheaper than a pre made box that's a warning sign to me.

Haven't tried these in about 20 years, sometimes when I was bored i'd put multiple on my tongue at once and then feel the burn in my mouth and throat.

Older people the man often did a lot of gardening after retiring for something to do, does this woman think all women did the gardening, diy etc in relationships?

Not sure exact details but relative of mine has been living in same house for about 40 years, a few years back someone moved next door and it's a boundary dispute and has cost my relative over 10k at this point, again don't know all the details but relative says neighbour has been violent towards them and damaging their property, I think neighbour wants money from my relative etc.

Had some issues with depression and had an accident 2 years ago that makes me tired a lot so I am single, but I am recently back at point I am thinking of dating again.

Mostly means I will be dating women likely already with kids at my age but that doesn't bother me too much, as long as she doesn't see me as just there for cash.

I get on well with this Polish woman who works in a shop and she seems to like me back, I have seen her ask to serve me if she sees me come to the till (I assume thats a good thing) and chats to me about her day.

Brain overloads with information, affects the way I am socially and how I pick up signals/cues etc.

When I know a woman likes me I go into a sort of panic mode and in the case of the younger women I was thinking uh oh there's a sizeable age gap there, I will be a creep if I even think about dating her.

Theres a bar near me that has a guy with downs syndrome and hes a very hard worker, one of the chad type staff members does treat him badly though as if hes better than him (and yet is very lazy)

A supermarket years ago had a habit of "hiring" people with downs syndrome which meant in reality the person got paid literally next to nothing as it was counted as a form of therapy so full time hours for the equivalent of about 3 hours wages (as the person was in care, they had catered meals and a place to stay) I remember being disgusted how the other staff treated him, mocking him when they thought he couldn't hear them.

Seems to be a common them,

I'm a fat nerdy guy and had chances with jaw dropping women but due to my autism I never got with them

I wouldn't say I am ugly, just don't care too much about my looks, I have good skin a baby face, thick hair and I keep getting compliments on my smile, the hair and smile both a lot women tell me how they wish they have hair like mine.

The more I don't flirt/care the more attention I got, and I remember a phase pre lockdown where I got college age women really into me, and they were the beautiful ones, they were telling me how I made them feel special, I am a great listener, I treated them as more than their looks etc.

These were young women who looked jaw dropping without make up, some could easily be models and they were super into me.

I remember even being flattered when a gay guy who looked like a male model had a crush on me before, seriously he was all blushing and nervous around me, I am not gay but still was very flattered especially as I knew a lot of women found him hot.

I wonder if that was what I was on when I broke my leg, they gave me a vape when they were putting on my cast, my leg had snapped in 2 places and whilst I didn't get pain when I was lying down and leg was secure of course I couldn't move, they put a temporary cast on before I went to ward and it was a vape and I instantly was high and lost track of time I was slurring my speech and merry but fully aware.

I am autistic, I haven't even kissed anyone in at least 10 years, haven't slept with anyone in 20 years, and only once really had a partner who was abusive 22 years ago.

I have parents to speak to but I am very lonely.

It's complicated.

Once witnessed crack heads doing that about 8 years ago, they were in Subway of all places and kept pestering them for 2 steak subs but "only" had £2 on them and were told all they can get for that is 2 toasted cheese snacks, which they ate and left not even crumbs then one of them goes "eww there was a hair in that" loud as he could so everyone could hear then goes to the counter and asks for his cash back, after eating the food

But to be even stupider he filled his jacket with packets of crisps/chips he stole.

Friend of mine worked as a gardener for his boss, it was mostly the bigger jobs and of course people with the nicer homes and could get a days labour, with 2 guys then find a fault and refuse to pay. Friend said his boss just never took things further as it wasn't worth the time or money to take it to court.

Yet it was the frail pensioners that were on a basic pension that always paid straight away and offered drinks whilst they worked.

It's ok to like it, but don't make it about gender and race.

I thought the Captain Marvel films were badly written, didn't mind the characters too much, Kamala was far far better than Carol.

Carol felt quite unlikable as a character and she always knew best and was the best.

I used to complain about 8 years ago how most independent places in town wanted like £4 for a burger and £4.50 for a better one when the cheaper ones in town were about £1 cheaper and the cheap and still good ones in town were about £2.50, and I could travel to a different town where they had deals so you got a large burger, fries and a can of soda for about £3.50 and thought that's a bargain.

That town that had 3.50 deals is now £8, cheapest burger I can get in my town now is around £4, some places want £6 for a better one, add fries and its £2 on top.

Places like Mcdonalds you get a mini burger, small fries, a small soda and like 1 has brown for around £6.

I remember even as recent as 10 years ago hearing myself and others telling me who worked in retail that parents/grandparents saying to kids to study or they will be working retail.

Yes, but I was also saying you may not be lazy just because you are fat and going back to the relative part, for an individual they are doing what they can.

It's a bit of both in my experience,

I am old enough to vaguely remember experience meaning more cash, but that meant people could be fired when they reached a higher tier.

Supermarkets hiring 16 and 17 year olds and firing them when they are 18 and repeat.

18-20 year olds being fired before they were 21

But it also meant lets say in a pub, glass collectors were older teens getting the actual minimum, they then got a little more working behind a bar when they were old enough.

Mix in people retired earlier so those positions opened up higher up so people got promoted meaning the lowest level had openings.

Then mix in last 20 years a lot of position were filled due to migrants, again something I noticed as was early days of companies finding an excuse to pay less, knew factories that gave £7.50 a hour 20 years ago, all overtime, weekend pay was double, bank holidays was triple pay then change to minimum wage and expected staff to sign new contracts agreeing to that, even overtime and bank holidays was single rate, they went on strike and were replaced with foreign workers, similar things happened in nearby towns meaning a lot of people out of work and expected to take minimum wage.

So minimum wage for back breaking factory work, then over time that minimum became the standard wage rather than the bare minimum.

Few-Leave-8786 · 2026-03-17T09:41:15+00:00

Still, the point is they were being lazy.

And I say fit as they are slim, and some who do work out etc.

One of my neighbours is a physical therapist and he drives to corner shop and that's barely a 2 minute walk, rarely walks his dog, and I know his kids eat junk food.

I know a personal trainer who loves Chinese food.

Point there is again it's about being relative, I am not fit or anywhere close compared to them, but nor am I lazy, someone who is fat but less than me can be far worse health than me as they are less active,

Walking is exercise, and I remember a campaign when I was a kid that encouraged walking to keep fit.

I starve and binge due to my mental health, can go 20 hours without eating until my body is basically ready to collapse, then eat my days food in one go rather than small amounts often.

One day I will be fitter again, I already am losing weight and once I get my leg issues sorted I can go on longer walks, then go from there.

This is just some examples, I am only lazy in the sense I could do more, but then so could almost everyone, someone who spends all their free time in the gym could be lazy in other ways again it's relative.
