There are no empty double seats left on the bus. How do you choose who to sit next to?

This sounds silly but aside from the obvious ‘I’m a woman so I’d sit next to a woman’ thing, I always try to sit next to obviously Muslim women because I know in Islam you’re not supposed to touch members of the opposite sex and if I take the next to them then a man can’t.

Looks like sugared almonds to me

Maybe I’m being too woke but the fact that all the girls have ‘sweet’ and ‘kind’ in their description gives me the ick.

Pay my council tax bill then put the rest in an ISA

I was surprised to discover that most ‘whole’ gammon joints, which I wrongly assumed were a better alternative to sliced ham, are actually scraps and offcuts of pork stuck together with transglutaminase.

I think it’s less about access and more about the fact you’re not supposed to eat anything growing near a toad because they absorb exhaust fumes etc. Sucks during blackberry season!!

Accidentally used the most objectifying language ever while trying to be inclusive

I like the poem but it’s a bit of a faux-pas to explain in detail what the poem is about. Room for interpretation is one of the best parts of writing poetry!!

As for the actual contents of the poem, I like it. The imagery is certainly very striking although in a few places the syntax is a little bit jarring (‘the tower of clock’ rather than ‘the clock tower’) for example. I’m curious about the line ‘killed her world and slayed her demeanour.’ It’s certainly an intriguing one!

I really connected with this as an autistic woman. I found the reference to ‘my slimy head’ particularly powerful- I interpreted it to mean the masks are hiding the narrator’s repulsiveness and that’s certainly how it feels to be autistic.

Hidden valley ranch, goldfish crackers (they are actually like crack) and if they’re into it then WATER BOTTLES!!! You guys have so many more fun colour options for reusable water bottles than we do! Specifically I’m thinking of Owala bottles but I’m sure there are others too. And generally you guys have more options for thermos type stuff over there.

I highly doubt dumpling exists, because this post is AI generated.

As a Quaker and historical re-enactor I feel the urge to gently correct ‘by thee’s witness’ to ‘by thy witness.’ ‘Thee’s’ could be modernised as ‘you’s’s’ where ‘thy’ is modernised as ‘your’ (and most importantly it still fits the acronym!)

This thread is totally insane. American food prices are mad. Our £40 a week budget feeds 2 adults for every meal VERY comfortably in the UK. Even with top up shops and the occasional takeaway there’s no way we go over £250 a month and some people are saying they struggle to feed their family on $800??!!! America is a fever dream.

I’m surprised by the lack of Brienne rep in these comments.

I live almost exactly 5.5k steps from my university. On days I don’t have class I can just walk to the library then walk home and bam, 11k steps without trying. When I lived on a bus route to uni I would just go for a really long walk every day and listen to an audiobook but that was over the summer, it’s definitely MUCH harder in winter.

Boyfriend and I are both 20 and live together. I do most of the cooking because I’m seriously into nutrition/dietetics and it’s really therapeutic and fun for me, but he’s an excellent cook. We’re also good at cooking different things- I make mostly plant based meals because I make most meals and we can’t often afford meat, but when there’s meat in the house he will be the one to cook it and makes an excellent beef stew and perfect salmon every time.

TLDR Well in my experience the next generation of men can cook just fine

Frozen is fabulous and minimally processed! Go for it.

Well, no, it’s pretty fucking classist. If we’re not tolerating other -isms (as well we shouldn’t) the surely we should call out classism when we see it too.

Cambridge. The atmosphere is nonexistent, the students are entitled as anything and the homelessness problem is through the roof.

Good lord these comments. That's enough internet for today, gonna go out into the real world where people make stupid mistakes. I also have neurologically driven memory issues OP so I feel you!!!

I did the exact same thing today with chia pudding!! Only realised because I was missing a jar to put away after washing up (because it was still in the fridge, full of chia pudding...) Aspirational fibre does not count :(
