Maybe we become more extreme in our existing beliefs. My political compass position drifted right from bottom left as I hit my thirties. After the Iraq invasion of 2003 and recessions following 2008 it swung back towards Ghandi. I became convinced that conservative politics isn’t working in my late forties and that has only been reinforced as I try to access the creaking UK healthcare system.

Richest country in history cannot afford to maintain its infrastructure or healthcare for its citizenry.

Wind the window down, stomp the A-pedal and clutch pedal into the floor, turn the key until the engine roars, dump the clutch like it’s last season’s fashion. Savour the heady mixture of tyre smoke and unburnt fuel as you peal out into traffic.

Shitting turns out to be the most hazardous activity of the trifecta.

These vegetables have spoiled.

I don’t think you can completely trust any brand. Obviously some are better than others and I assume that’s what you’re asking.

Bosch tend to make pretty good machines. Mercedes cars are okay. Jura coffee makers are decent. Snap on tools are nice. Petzl outdoor gear is good. Armytek lights are solid. 3M products are good. EDZ and Icebreaker garments are nice.

I will add serious distance to a journey in order to avoid a jam. I will wake at an inhumane hour to avoid traffic. I know it’s irrational but sitting in traffic is the worst. My life was so easy when I cycled to work. Literally zero traffic jams for twelve years. Every journey to and from home was fifteen minutes.

How much is too much Hotmail?

Among the most important attributes, if not the most important. There has to be some physical attraction and usually that is what gets things going but it’s sometimes surprising how other attributes become more important as the relationship develops. Charisma and humour is huge. Creativity and skill is a massive turn on. Kindness and self awareness, vital. These are often dependent on or related to the base level of intelligence.

It changes over time, too. As a young man, I devoted very little consideration to intelligence but those weren’t really relationships, mostly sex cosplaying as a relationship.

I’m still using wheels on my bicycle.

Nailed it bro.

What other tips do you have that will allow us to retire at 35?

Hole foods

This is the pill that seems impossible to swallow for society at large. We have built a civilization on the assumption that we can keep adding more cars. I checked the manifestos of the recent UK general election candidates, only one explicitly mentioned provision of cycling infrastructure and that party won virtually no support. We are sleepwalking into an ecological collapse, with old conservative people leading the way.

That’s a fine looking sheep

Goddamn

Put the popcorn on ice and the champagne in the air fryer?

Booooooo!

Please accept my sincere condolences, I’m sorry for your loss.

Most anglophones are awful people.
