Yeah but where I am there are lines for both, often self checkout is longer.

I’m not gen z.

Stores I go to have lines for both. For me, it’s about how I didn’t want to go to the shop in the first place and I want to do as little as possible there while I listen to music on my earbuds. I also prefer to pack my stuff without someone right there… the pressure!

That’s why. Legitimacy must continue to be eroded.

Here’s an episode of the bbc podcast More or Less on it, though it was 7 at the time

There’s a movie called The Man Who Sued God, but he was clever and sued god’s representatives on earth.

Heart attack symptoms are different for women. I wonder if that’s true for the other ones too.

Yes! Also, if you listen to the small stuff, they’ll trust you with the big stuff.

That’s so sad. I get that one person cannot be “on” all the time but literally schedule 20 minutes, try something to value the kid.

Some have had success with baby sign language. We tried but it didn’t take.

And mother of young kids.

And were left the rent controlled apartment by their aunt.

I wonder how it looks for women who started before menopause though rather than after.

Where I am, children under 12 have not been vaccinated against Covid since their first so no annual vax. Last shot was start of 2022 so has waned considerably.

Missed a flight same as Shane MacGowan and we both got on the next one, not together obviously.

Sat on the other side of a couch to Bono and his dad in his nightclub and stopped a crazy American from climbing over to him, everyone else politely ignored them.

When I had a lot of meetings going on in my previous job, I scheduled most of them for Mondays. I ended up with just meetings day Monday and it was great, a day where I did no work, just met people, talked plans, shared results, socialised. Next 4 days were calm and I did stuff to share next Monday. Worked well but then I rarely attended pointless meetings.

I grew up with phone books having names and addresses of everyone, so it feels less bad to have that released. The rest is fake though… birth date, etc.

I think that’s the point. They could be anywhere and they choose not USA.

I’m right with you, especially all the media centered on big loving family or sad loner stuff. I also resent how long it goes on and got annoyed at the "the best time of the year"song yesterday. It’s just all too much! No other holiday is like this.

I also started sending Christmas cards this year thinking of them as messages of love. I like that and I like warmth and lights and love. It’s still way too long and too expensive.

It’s so hard to know, there’s not much of a control group anymore!

But some of it will just be aging too and maybe pressure you’re putting on yourself?
