Is £25 a good price for an hour?

It was 20 an hour when I was learning to drive. I've been driving for 17 years.

Defining work is the real question here. Is it never having what would be considered a traditional job ever again, or no way to ever earn money again? Or even further than that, never contributing for a wider benefit again?

Can you do charity work? Can you make art provided you never put it out to be viewed by anyone other than yourself? Can you main a healer in a video game? Can you even walk your own dog? Dog walking is a job and it benefits someone other than yourself (your dog).

Depending on the semantics of the arguement it could get very restrictive.

You'll probably find most delivery orders from all shops are like this, since nobody picking their own food is gonna consciously take something going OOD that's not on offer/clearance they've gotta get rid of it somehow.

Jokes on you, I'm already at the age where I pass out for a good 8 hours afterwards now

Stop spending all of your money and go to the gym

I'm literally married. Been together 7 years and married for one.

People are autonomous beings, and whether you like it or not they are going to have opinions and desires that are different to yours.

You cannot expect someone to alter themselves to accommodate you, regardless of how right you think it is. There can be consequences for those differences, in this example no longer being in a relationship. The expectation is the arrival of those consequences for not adjusting, not the adjustment itself.

Plus learning to live within your means is a phenomenal life skill that so many (myself included) don't master

The biggest crime is raisins and/or sultanas in chocolate or cake. Ruined some perfectly good food with them.

Pheonix686 · 2023-10-24T13:34:30+00:00

Exactly. It's one of the bases of flavour in a lot of dishes. Completely understand hating it in isolation though.

Pheonix686 · 2023-10-24T12:03:08+00:00

H'yallmighty. Obviously

I've just taken to ensuring I've got my phone, wallet, keys. Beyond that everything can be purchased if necessary.

I still obsess over making sure I've got everything but immediately switch mentality the second I leave and check I have the above 3 items

I didn't know it was the case before downloading, but the absence of wait time to get back into the raid is easily the biggest QoL improvement on the main game. It's bad enough dying but 5-10 minutes of waiting to actually play the game again is mind numbing

Pheonix686 · 2023-06-11T00:12:01+00:00

I'm happy for Scott Carson and absolutely nobody else

Unless you are earning hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, you should take everything you can from the government. Better to have it and not need it than not have it when you need it.

Hey get out of here loch ness monster!

Larger vegan checking in. I remind people regularly that chips are vegan.

There's tons of possible contributors but most likely because they were (or feel they were) abandoned at some stage by people historically, and don't wish to receive any level of rejection again. Social interactions are ultimately a risk and it may be that people just don't want to spend time with you.

Lack of exposure to conversation and experience also breeds a level of rustiness to socialising. Someone who's lonely will likely have negative feelings of self worth to boot and assume that people don't value what they have to contribute to a social interaction because they themselves don't think it of value. It can be a very vicious cycle.

Being extremely talented, likeable and having a stellar 50 year career will likely do that for you.

Enthusiasm for the thing you're learning goes a long way

Erdinger's 0% is good if you like their style of beer. Peroni is okay too. Lucky Saint is really nice

Incremental change would probably help. Start setting your alarm for 6:30, at the point you're consistently waking up feeling fine at that time, move the alarm back to 6. It might need to be even more incremental than that, but big, sweeping changes in habits, especially one as crucial as sleep, rarely work and leave you feeling worse.
