Ridiculous things.

Right? As an example, when I switched to a plant based diet in 2014, if I wanted a vegan pizza or vegan doughnut, for example, I'd have to make them myself or seek out a specialist shop. Now these things are mainstream, even small supermarkets have them, Lidl even has vegan weeks every couple of months. That was unimaginable 10 years ago!

My actions back then did nothing alone, but it was the slow trickle of others cutting out animal products that added up and created this demand. And one person setting an example can encourage friends and family to give it a go.

I've been getting those warning emails for like two years, maybe more. Probably more actually. I just ignore them, my photos still work even if I don't use them anymore.

(Sorry for a screenshot of a lemmy post.) Just a reminder that the woman who lost to a lettuce thought that cancer patients should all be left to die if they can't go private.

They also provided allowances (ie social welfare) to those who were too ill or old to work.

They tried that over here with Brexit. Those darned immigrants stealing our jobs (while also just living off benefits, of course). EU citizens were like, screw this. They left, suddenly farmers were faced with their produce rotting in the fields, because guess what? The Brits don't actually want to do those jobs.

So what do you think happened next? They had to allow special visas to lure immigrants back in.

Meanwhile, the gammons were still raging that immigrants lower wages because they'll work for less pay than UK citizens.

Strange coincidence, I just scanned in a photo I found of my siblings' and my first bike. I taught myself to ride around age 9.

All I know is it's a Tri-ang, but I can't find any record of this model's existence online.

I'm a trainee bike tech now, and it pains me to see what bad shape that bike was in!

I read that in Jixuan's voice.

I don't need to. I'm a cyclist, I get it on a regular basis.

I bought a few junk vinyls just because I really like the texture. I was touching one on the tube home and my friend told me later I was causing visible distress to the man opposite.

Little cutie! What's his name? I bet he puts a smile on your face very easily. Little nutters, aren't they? Nothing like a hyper budgie telling everything in the room about its day! I'm glad you're doing better!

Here's my birb tax:

He turned 14 in April, I'm hoping he can make it to 15.

I've been at the point where I wanted to die, but never bad enough to actually try to make it happen.

Here's an article by the lovely Lene Marlin about her failed attempt:

Oh gosh, my nephew was obsessed with that game when he was 11.
