    I told you to block the community because you don't enjoy it, that's all.

  • Emotional Support Vehicles
  • A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let’s explore the bad world of Cars!

    From the sidebar. If you don't like it, block the community instead of complaining and typing in full caps with excessive punctuation like some boomer on Facebook.

  • Whatcha playing, Opa?
  • Pretty sure that's Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I'm just pretty sure that's EU4's user interface. If the humour is that it's supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the "German Reich". EU4 takes place before the second world war.

    Edit: Nevermind, it's Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.

  • Anxiety Tip
  • I definitely remember the girl who walked out of her house and down her garden path, stepped on to the street footpath which is on a hill and icy, immediately started sliding down the hill, grabbed the metal railing fence and shouted, terrified, back towards her house "MUM! MUM HELP! MUMMMMM!"

    So there's at least one other cringey person.

  • As a Brit. I see nothing wrong here
  • Yep, just seems disingenuous to act like the history of the spice trade hasn't affected our food culture when it clearly has massively. Hell, even curry in Japan is popular not because of India but because of British influence. The reason "Katsu Curry" is called Katsu is because of the English word "Cuts" referring to the cuts of meat in the curry, which is Japanese sounds like 'katsu'.

  • YTA, NTA, or ESH?
  • People getting all out of shape about the age of the hobbits whereas Gandalf was created at the beginning of time, which is much older than 2019 years old. That's likely the age of his current physical manifestation, but his spirit is truly ancient.

    The Universe in Middle earth is about 55,000 years old, but that's stated to be created after creation, so Gandalf was created before that.

  • As a Brit. I see nothing wrong here
  • I'm British and I see it's wrong because it simply isn't true... We have a ton of spicy foods. The stereotype that we only eat comfort foods like in the meme is old and worn out. Maybe that's all you eat, but that's on you.

  • jk, I'm still tired
  • I remember having to get up early once and making myself a big mug of coffee... I sat on the sofa, put the TV on, drank some of my coffee... then fell asleep with it cradled in my lap.

    It really doesn't help as much as a shower does.

  • How dare he
  • I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.

  • Postal worker parent of trans kid refused to deliver hateful flyers. She's being punished.
  • If I had this flyer delivered to me I'd use my reasoning skills to bin it, maybe mock it first. Seems silly not to deliver it. It's only going to be read by the already bigoted. Any sensible individual knows what to do with it.

  • 7,000 Microplastics Studies Show We Have One Really Big Problem
  • I appreciate this, it's really good advice and what I try to do, but I can always be better.

    At the moment I volunteer for a food bank that focuses on redistributing surplus food stocks from businesses instead of having them go to the bin. This is because I abhor waste.

    I also volunteer for the Scouts because it upsets me to see young people glued to screens all the time, never leaving their home, and not knowing what the real world and real social situations are. Also, I missed out on a lot of these things as a child because I shied away from them and nobody encouraged me. I enjoyed hiking with my older brother and my uncle, but the premise of joining the Scouts was never even given to me as an option.

    It's amazing to see kids say "what's this plant, what's that tree, what is that mushroom, can I eat that berry?" and sometimes being able to answer them, or at least tell them how they can find themselves an answer. "Take a picture of it, do some research, tell me what you find out next week"
