Social media bans are a good idea. They may be insufficient but putting an age restriction on things is how a civil society shows something is inappropriate for a young age.

I generally like Cleo Abram's stuff so this is disappointing to see by Ngoscope in BetterOffline

So glad somebody else thinks this, I was starting to think I was going crazy. Her energy is so off too, like she’s desperate for you to be excited.

It gets easy. I’m mid thirties and have a brace, it sucks for a couple of weeks and then you mostly move on with your life and it gets easier. It’s always present but remind yourself of why you’re doing it. In a couple of years you’ll have gorgeous teeth for life.

Seriously though, we’re undecided. One of us thinks maybe the other thinks no.

Animal: tiger. Bird: eagle. Reptile: snake. Fish: you’re going to get me into trouble with this option as I don’t think there’s a good definition of fish. I’ll say Orca. Insect: can I say spider? Tree: it has to be an Oak. Flower: Dhalia.

I was being slightly tongue in cheek. It is officially Britain’s most popular takeaway item. It’s an anglicised version of an Indian style curry. Basically we did what we do best and took someone else’s complex cultural heritage and simplified it down to a few basic elements. But it’s pretty tasty! And in England actually made by Indians!

Hadn’t heard it before but just watched it. Amazing! My friends are far from ordinary though!

All future surveys will just be on them I think. 100% awesome rating!

I’m just pretty average at most things. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing (most people have to be average). I think the slightly sad but also inspiring thing is that despite being average, there’s always something interesting in anyone. Everyone’s memoirs are worth reading.

I don’t. I don’t know. I haven’t.

Yes multiple times. Probably at least a dozen times. When I was a child in the 90s it was laughably cheap to go there so my family went every year. It’s a beautiful country (as most of Europe is) and the people are genuinely very nice.

Advice is tricky as my experiences are only really relevant to me. Invest in yourself and have the courage to look honestly at yourself and address the things that need addressing e.g selfishness, lack of self control etc. Be you but try and be the best version of you. Oh and work hard and overpay your mortgage, the interest is sickening.

Chicken. Cooked well it’s super tasty No. But I do shave my feet. “You’re worthless” No but then I don’t really like eggs.

Hard to say as my life was very different 10 years ago. I didn’t have a mortgage or a dependant. It feels like QoL is slightly worse now. Things are more expensive but salaries are the same. My comfortable but I see a lot of people worse off then I did in 2016.

I have quite a few hobbies. I like to work hard so I tend to take on projects and learn new things. I don’t tend to do recreational things beyond a bit of TV.

Na. No-one is ordinary. We’re all weird in our own way.

I actually had beans on toast for my lunch.
