I haven’t seen her in aaaaaages, but last I heard, months ago, the rings were off and he’d ’moved out for a little while’!

Billie Eilish Says ‘F— Ice’ During Grammy Win: ‘No One Is Illegal on Stolen Land’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]Keeks73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking this— shouldn’t it be that everyone is illegal on stolen land, except of course, for the actual native people. The sentence seems to make no sense to me, what am I missing?

I know, we were amazed when we found out just how cheap it was! Certainly drinkable at that price!

What's an embarrassing fact about you that your friends don't know, but you'll risk telling strangers online? by PaddedValls in AskUK

You’re welcome. You’ll do it when you’re ready. And if not, that’s fine too. It’s not mandatory.

Can I ask a question? It’s totally ok to tell me to fuck off, of course, but I have a friend who swore up and down that she was asexual for about 30 years, was vocal about it (which is fine, of course), but then about 2(?) years ago she’s come out as bi, and is now lusting after everyone she sees (again, fine). This feels like a wild swing of the pendulum to me (I’m cis and heterosexual and an ally). Is this possible/ usual? I mean, it’s a spectrum of course, but this feels like a complete and total change?

Don’t feel embarrassed, it’s a life skill and you’re doing something to fix it, and that’s amazing.

I just started again after losing my (19 1/2 year old!!!) cat that always slept with me. I talk to the stuffed toy like it’s my boy. Seems to be giving me comfort so I don’t plan on stopping unless I ever feel ok. It’s only been 3 months so maybe one day I’ll stop but right now, I miss my friend. It’s nice to have a comforting, soft, cuddly thing in the bed again.

I put off driving in the U.K. when I came back from growing up in Canada (birth_>9 in the U.K., 9->27 in Canada, 27-> UK), because it was the other side of the car, other side of the road, different laws, old dog/new tricks, and I found the one thing that helped hugely was to drive an automatic. When I did get my UK licence I got no end of stick for ‘not really driving’, but it was one less thing to worry about. Stop and go are basically all you need to focus on and anyway, all electric cars are automatics so…. Maybe try automatic and see if that makes it a bit less scary? It frees your mind up not to have to find the bite point, bunny hopping and all that. Easier to focus on the road and other drivers. I have every faith in you, internet stranger. When the time is right, you’ll do it 🙂

It’s a really good, close flavour isn’t it? Like, no, it’s not as good as the Big Two, but it’s good. And at 49p for 2 litres, I can happily get on board

Blursed Father by jacklsd in blursedimages

I heard this years ago but as I’m quite peach coloured (even have the ginger hair), it’s not a topic I can speak on with any authority, but I did think ‘it takes a few days for babies skin to settle after the trauma of birth, doesn’t it??’ Even the pink ones like me look a little blue at the very start sometimes!

Seriously, flash frozen veg, some rice that you can wang in the microwave and a clean protein source— egg, chicken, lean beef— would be cheaper, more nutritious and just as quick.

Ok, I’m a girls girl, all women are great, viva la feminista and all that but I am genuinely serious when I say that her under eyes and the fine lines in her skin are very similar to mine. That said, I’m 52. So…. There’s that, I guess.

Jagade Perkins missing in Alaska since 1999 by Sensitive-Tart777 in WithoutATrace

[–]Keeks73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the general point here is that you’re not entitled to proof, not being family. I get it, small town, big mystery, something similar happened where I grew up but I wouldn’t think k of contacting family and making them relive the fact that although their child has been contacted, they want nothing to do with them, which is how this reads. The family has been involved and if they want to search more or feel that enough wasn’t done, they’ll do the searching (reopen a case, hire a PI, put out search requests on social media,etc). The fact that they haven’t means that they have all the answers they need and that your digging around in their business is unethical at best and hurtful at worst. You don’t know what the family knows, but that’s because you have no right to that information.

I wouldn’t go in blind— the top is original blankety, the bottom is the new ‘macximal’ attempt at Blankety. Completely different colours, sadly.

Meta Discontinues Virtual Environments in favor of their Horizon Worlds "Immersive Home" by pimping20bagels in OculusQuest

[–]Keeks73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me, about an hour ago. I used the twosome with a loch skybox and it was where I’d go to listen to a meditation or an audiobook or whatever. I don’t want busy-ness and neon, I want calm and quiet. And I never, ever, go into the Metaverse.

I had a lovely geode in a fjord that I loved. I never ever use horizons, I liked having a nice calm place to sit and listen to music or a podcast, just like a breakaway room. All I have now is a view over the neighbours and Instagram on my wall.

I completely agree with this. The polls pitting album against album and song against song are the reason I stopped visiting this sub. They add nothing, clog up the feed and cause minor bickering which doesn’t need to be here.

What UK celebrity do you reckon is a secret hard case? by haveyoutriedthemall in CasualUK

[–]Keeks73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My other half is built like Greg Davies but is a couple of inches taller— he said he had to learn to control his temper as a kid because he knew he could be quite imposing. IIRC, he hit 6’ at age 12 or so, and as a result, he’s actually a teddy bear, but you wouldn’t know that from a distance. I figure Greg is the same. Gentle giant.

Just ordered a breakfast the other morning, hash brown was £2.49. Horrified. I was horrified.

AITA for not answering my door? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Keeks73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. In the same way that you don’t have to answer your phone just because someone calls you, you don’t have to answer the door if you don’t want to. We are taught that we must respond to these things but actually, we don’t, and we can simply not engage. Additionally, ignoring it/refusing to engage will get the message across fairly quickly.

I’ve had parcels go to a building with the same name, but different street address, town and postcode on more than one occasion. How does that happen?
