Agree. Made a real effort in recent years to question the crap what I really need, and what’s a want vrs a need.
I feel a lot happier not buy stuff upon stuff. I’m trying to buy as much used/second hand as possible.
I don’t understand many of the product hypes. Why would you pay more to endorse someone’s brand. The cups. Like $50 for a cup. That’s crazy, you still drink the same water out of it.
Great read thanks. It’s a quest I have stated here and there but you methods an awareness gives inspiration to the tedious task. Would you be willing to share the email template you used?
Thought I was the only one. As I was reading replies I was wondering if I was doing it wrong.
Oh I forgot the floppies and cds. Yeh little packets everywhere. They were a little bites of history, seeing one now would just hurtle me back in time.
And the hatred it’s been a horrible little march but it feels like that some days. It feels very helpless and learning to step back from being online is a struggle for me. I feel like a real old person.
Any old you fancy. What do you miss?
Beautiful spot i feel honoured to have visited. You can try and hide history but it still exists.
Do you have hobbies? I am gonna research a new lawnmower this weekend too. I excited by that!
Yeh, I miss the eclectic, but rawness of the old stuff. There were some dodgy design choices but it was a great time. The web.2.0 design stuff where everything was a cyan or turquoise mirror bubble look was the next one. Boring but still not the clone like monotonedronefest we see now.
Nothing exciting for me. Been ill half the week and not sleeping so I’ll try catch up on that. How about you?
Yup. I can see it in my head now. Always had a square header with random images squished in.
Thanks I was looking for a gardening one a few days ago
Grainy vids and bad audio, I’d rather have that authentic effort than the highly polished regurgitated bulsheet narrated with a YouTube voice we see now.
Kinda agree. Good when smooth, but when bad it’s bad.
I once booked a train months in advance. Got there and the train got cancelled. No notice just not there. I waited in queue for 30 mins. Person told me catch the next one in 1 hour.
I did. The conductor on the train came along and threaten to throw us off as it was not the correct ticket. There was just no rational option.
Otherwise I love the train.
Nice in an ideal world
But just as it’s not a woman’s job to teach men emotional skills, it’s not a gay persons either.
Others can’t keep carrying the burden for this.
If I see something advertised or pushed by them i immediately question the integrity of the product. I can’t trust them or the brand.
Anything like this, It has the opposite the intended effect
Ah cooked the golden goose and now complaining. It’s as bad as cinemas/Hollywood, they got greedy took advantage and when people moved away wondered why. Make a product people like and they will use it. They don’t care they are losing viewers. They care they arnt making money.
Vital proteins take themselves a bit serious. I’d send it back. Terms and conditions my @$$.
Idiot behavior from self important companies should not be rewarded.
Anyone know of any dedicated communities on here or good resources (uk) for day to day frugality or at least less giving money to millionaires?
I used to use the likes of hot deals etc but it’s now just a glorified sales platform. I am talking actual communities that share suggestions and support.
Just as this this guy says
you dont get a ban for the first instance. This shows repeated offences. Lucky she has the money for a driver.
I have little patience for serial speeders. Gripe all you like, but speed limits save lives.
YouTube, celebrities, influencers.
