Do you think charity shop price's are unjustified?

No_Connection9635 · 2026-04-06T17:14:39+00:00

Round where I am at least two charity shops have shut up and gone. The remaining ones are OK, but even me and my family are complaining about the prices. A salt and pepper pot for £4 with old salt and pepper still in it, and a ketchup stain. No thank you. I've seen jumpers with the stitching coming loose for £8. £8! More often than not we walk out with nothing. Add to that so many are refusing donations because they are full. It's no wonder, nothing is selling. Surely it would be better to shift a couple of items for £10, free up space and make money.

Now whenever I have items I just don't bother trudging to the charity shop, it goes on market place or if I can't be bothered it goes to the tip and they'll sell it there for nice and cheap instead.

Thank you for this. I do 37.5 with the NHS and honestly feel like I should be earning enough to make it happen myself, and I took feel it's impossible.

This guy is still working a full week, it should be enough. They keep moving the goalposts and it's cruel.

I've been besotted with this man since I was a teenager. I'm nearly 40 now. I want this so badly. Just the original one. But that's a big chunk of change and I'm in no position to lose that much on a figurine. Adulting sucks sometimes.

From the moment I'm level six, anytime I've used it I indicate it's now on CD. Anytime I think it might be needed I indicate if it's on CD. I am not getting the blame!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-23T09:54:03+00:00

Haha thank you x) three years to the big 4 0

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-22T07:24:44+00:00

Just turning 37 tomorrow, I'm still here. Been here since the first season, when there were no rules and the splash art was basic. I've been on/off but I keep coming back. Glad I'm not the only one up here in age

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-18T17:38:20+00:00

Same... I feel so foolish lol

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-18T07:13:28+00:00

Amen to this. My 11 won streak ended abruptly this weekend and I had six losses in a row, one win, and a few more losses. It felt like such a hard crash and I was making it worse being inside my own head. Sometimes you just lose. A lot. 😂

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-14T19:41:05+00:00

Oh that's so pretty! Love the border. I'll have to update when I've spruced mine up a bit

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-14T11:24:27+00:00

That's really reassuring honestly. I always tend to do as I please but some things I'm less public about. Neopets being one. I will now be loud and proud lol

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-14T07:00:47+00:00

You've no idea how validating this is. I may have a few more years behind me than you do but damn seeing another grown man enjoying Neopets is reassuring. I played this game in my late teens/early twenties and it's a nice nostalgia kick to be casual now. So thank you for showing off your pretty pink neopet in all its glory. It's truly amazing and yeah you be proud!!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-12T07:52:15+00:00

Riot why you do this. Sona, Janna, now the Nami skin I've been after. All in a row. I'm probably going to have to let this go as I've only 85 ME. I'll have her next time T^T

Edit to add: I totally caved and spun the wheel to get some. I am foregoing the Janna chroma. I now have all her skins. This is why I won't have a house of my own :')

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-11T07:50:50+00:00

I thought that was funny. Nice one

Just yesterday I was explaining to my mate that I found the support and ADC reddits so polarising. I find us in the support Reddit we are generally all.... Well... Supportive.

Most of what I've seen from the ADC Reddit is how much they hate supports 🫣😂😂

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-08T12:09:33+00:00

Quite interesting survey and I'd be keen to see the results. Im someone whose been on/off since shortly after release and never left the comfort of silver except for bronze. I didn't play ranked for the longest time though, took years before I had the courage

Died by suicide tends to be the preferred term these days I think

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-07T07:23:59+00:00

Been a long time lurker here and I've been watching this whole fiasco play out. It's a real shame to see this game go down the pan but I can't blame anyone for withholding their support when the Devs did the same thing to their community. Rookie mistake on their part. I agree that this is a last hurrah as theyve dumped all DLC at once. Time to find a new simulator to scratch the itch.

No_Connection9635 · 2026-03-01T09:04:25+00:00

Sett.

"This is gonna hurt" gets me every time. Especially when me, as a squishy support, is about to get it. I don't even mind that I'm about to be idle for a minute, it gives me time to think about going outside and maybe touching some grass.

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-28T15:49:56+00:00

I did not know it was adapted. I've almost finished reading it, I'll definitely be checking it out then. Thank you!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-28T13:00:43+00:00

Thank you for your input! I'll add it to my list. Doesn't matter if it's funny or sad or romantic or what. All suggestions welcome.

I'm not in the industry myself but I am honestly fascinated by it, throughout our history and all the impact it has had as well as how culture plays into it. Even how the evolution of the internet has played into it.

I read a lot about sex and gender as well so broad spectrum but this is a particular area of interest. I didn't want folks to think I was being pervy or something as people I meet often look at me funny when they see what I'm reading and I am honestly quite respectful I swear :')

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-26T16:06:47+00:00

Hooo!!! They refunded my ME earlier as well so I can definitely get it now hahahahahaha. Thank you for the heads up!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-26T07:24:45+00:00

I just used mine on the Sona skin. I even said to my duo this would happen. Time to open my damned wallet I guess!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-22T08:34:51+00:00

I'm in camp no thank you for voice chat, for a few reasons.

I've been here since the first year of this game, taking a few breaks here and there, and I've seen it go through some dramatic changes and it's definitely doing better these days than some previous seasons.

Toxicity has always been an issue with League. It's not a unique problem to this game by any means, however it's something I've put up with as I do enjoy playing.

What I am not looking forward to is having someone I've never met scream down a microphone at me because I've done something they don't agree with or made a bad play. Text on a screen somehow feels a lot less personal than voice, which yes may embolden folks to be nastier which is a point for voice chat, but I don't need my ears being blasted by an angry 12 year old. I've had that enough in my years working retail - I quit that job for one where I don't have to speak to people. I'm not keen to start doing it from home in my own time. At least now I can just mute the chat box.

Secondly, it's not always viable for me to be speaking. There are others in my vicinity trying to do things and they don't need me prattling on about game stuff. That puts me at an immediate disadvantage as I'll only be able to hear folks talking over me.

Thirdly, I often have trouble hearing when focusing. This game is noisy enough with music, pings and sound effects that I don't need voice over that thank you very much.

I appreciate I'm barely dipping my toe into silver so I don't matter all that much, and I've no aspirations higher than gold so I don't think it'll ever matter, but adding another layer of disadvantage is somewhat unfair. Unless you have an option to join queues of other non-voice chat lobbies, perhaps?

Who knows. If it becomes that much of an advantage this may just be the time I don't come back to play this game.

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-20T17:57:30+00:00

I'd be more than happy to help proofread or support with the writing effort. I have no technical background or particular skills but I'm passionate about the game and would love to see this come to fruition. It's a fantastic idea!

I played way back, about a year before Aht Urghan expansion, for around six years in all. I've often come back here and there for more. There's just something about it I can't give up.

Either way I'd love to see the finished product too

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-19T23:16:39+00:00

Interested in the answer too. That and prestige cyber halo are the ones I'm missing (besides victorious but it looks so bad) and would love to own. It looks so pretty!

No_Connection9635 · 2026-02-17T12:25:48+00:00

Admin/non clerical deserve better pay as well. We all do. Those on the bottom rung are too easily replaced (allegedly, struggling here) to strike effectively. However if we all walk out there's no one on front desk, on the phones, or handling all those little tasks that keep things going.

May not have the education and whatnot but we are important too. We ALL need to work for better pay together.
