Drugs... it's where I kept my drugs.

That's the option I take... deleted FB in 2012, Twitter in 2018 (not that I actually used it, posted maybe 20 things in 7yrs) and have never used any of the others. I'm on mastodon and lemmy, I use signal & telegram and have to suffer whatsapp for immediate family.

I told everyone else that I was only going to make an effort with people who made an effort with me... and that solved the fake friends side of the problem... Because all I got for years was 'but you're not a facebook' as a reason for their laziness and entitlement that I must bow to their convenience as it's far more important that protecting my mental health.

If you have a hobby... that hobby is legal, it causes no harm to others and it brings you enjoyment... and anyone... ANYONE... puts you down for it, berates you, mocks, makes out your enjoyment is purile, childish... that person is a wanker... plain and simple. They think they everyone else must live their life according to their standards, their idea of fun and anyone who doesn't conform to their beliefs is a lesser person who deserves to be ridiculed.

There's only 1 real rule in life.

Don't be a wanker.

When I have to describe social media... I do as follows.

There are 3 types of social media users.

1: Those with wealth who have no worries and can portray the image of living the simple life full of hobbies and joy... which is easy to do when you don't have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to pay the bills. they hoard wealth instead of giving. 2: Those that have no wealth and are desperately trying to convince others that they do, and that their life is so much better than yours. 3: The sheep that believe both of the above and would like to fit into one of those groups.

Meanwhile... the ones actually living the simple life, their best life, the relaxing life... aren't on corporate owner social media willing giving up their privacy and freedoms so a billionaire can get richer.

Better way to look at it, he did a speed run through the game and completed it with 30% of the whole game done... The other one is doing all of the side quests and extras so he can get 100%

I pay £10 a month in the UK for 25GB data and unlimited texts and calls within the UK (not including premium rate numbers). I rarely ever use more than 1-2GB of data because I'm always on wifi at home, and never use public wifi when out and about... and because I work from home. When I got out, it's often for exercise, a meal or to visit friends/family (using their wifi)...

I haven't paid more than £10 a month for about 15yrs now... used to be a meagre 500MB data to begin with... it just kept increasing.

Far to many people don't understand the difference between theory and scientific theory... One is a postulation on how people thing something works not based on provable and repeatable facts.. whilst the latter is (based on current understand of those provable/repeatable facts).

But idiots and those trying to distort and undermine to support their own bias and agenda, will never call it a scientific theory or attempt to explain the difference... and claim any change in the 'facts' is proof that it's fake... their inability to understand something further drives their ignorance.

It's Darwinism in motion for the world to see... and it's both saddening to see and hilarious to watch as people posted... 'Not wearing masks, covid is a hoax it's no worse than the flu'... and then over the coming weeks... see them posting... got covid, it's hell, please pray for me... can't breathe, in hospital, they refuse to give me invermectin (or whatever that drug was), doctors are trying to kill me... and then they die as a result of their own ignorance and hubris.

I'm more partial to inventing new forms of English insults... sadly, I cannot claim credit for 'flag shagging'

I do try to take credit for Trumplethinskin or Trumplthinskin as I've been using that one for about a decade now... can't say if I was the first or not.

It gets even better when you tell them that the tories, removed every single legal way to apply for asylum, leaving the only possible way for them to apply is to get here illegally and make their claim then. It's literally an artificial and deliberately engineered problem to stoke division and rile up the bigots to vote for those promising to fix the problem... and all of those making those promises are grifters only looking to gain power and wealth for themselves.

I think you're describing 'politicians' more than people in general... diplomacy is when both sides are disappointed in the result. :)

Are you suggesting that 'smart' people are incapable of making errors... even a typo? :)

The difference is that you are honest about your reasons, she lies because she's too ashamed to admit that she was conned... you are not the same.
