After seeing this post, I was wondering what this was all about, spent a couple of minutes looking it up, only to get a PM from her.
Have you guys turned this into a summoning ritual?!

Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth

- Comment on Is this green or blue? 3 weeks ago:
This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!
(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)
- Comment on The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers 4 weeks ago:
You literally said the problem was with insulin producing spikes from carbs, and therefore you can’t eat a plant based diet. I just showed you evidence that you can indeed eat a plant based diet, carbs or not, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels. And can even reverse diabetes.
It was obvious from the beginning you were being totally disingenuous. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but the fact that you’ll block over such an inoffensive message confirms my initial suspicion about you. You just don’t want to eat a plant based diet and will find any reason not to.

Traditional Indian omni diet. You don’t need to go low carb. In fact the desired ratio is 80% carbs, 10% protein, 10% fat. She still had grains and other carbs. It’s about the type of carbs (slow digesting). For example bread will nearly always be high GI because the yeast has done the digestion for you. Whereas white pasta will be lower, because it takes a long time to digest. Carbs are good, as long as it’s the right type of carbs.
People who say they’ve reversed their diabetes by going low carb haven’t reversed it, because it would come right back if they ate carbs. It’s like saying I made my arm fireproof by not holding a flame to it. Whereas going high fibre, low fat, low GI will allow you to still eat carbs without sugar spikes.
As I said, look into the work of Neal Bernard, who has reversed type 2 diabetes without cutting carbs and without any other lifestyle changes besides diet.

You asked to be directed. So I’ve directed you.

That reminded me of that flash game where you could press buttons on a Bush action figure to hear some bushisms (like “when we’re talking about war, we’re really talking about peace” and “there’s an old saying in Texas, I know it’s in Texas, probably Tennessee” and “peeance freeance”?) and there was one button to make him spit out a pretzel he was choking on. I tried to look it up but I can’t find it :(

Read The China Study and the work by Dr Neal Bernard. Type 2 diabetes can be reversed (not always, but it can be) or reduced. My mum had her dose of type 2 meds reduced by about half when she went on a plant based diet, because her blood sugar went too low on her regular dose.

Only the Jubilee line has them here in London. They’re a good feature. There was talk of bringing them to other lines, but I’ve not heard any update on that in years.
- Comment on I miss myspace 5 weeks ago:
I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.

The best was on the old T9s where you’d try to type mum, but its first choice would be nun.
- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 1 month ago:
Right? Is it so hard to just ask “what are your relevant skills and what experience do you have”? Why be so general and vague? I don’t get all the fakeness, I really don’t, especially in jobs like retail. Why the need for long forms and multiple choice questions and all the other nonsense.
Interviews only test how good you are at interviews, not how good you are at the job.
- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 1 month ago:
Same with me, except every job I got was from employers who were desperate and would take anyone. The only exception is the job I have now, which ironically enough, I’m kinda crap at.
Traditional job interviews are very much geared against autistic people. I was absolutely awful at interviews, until the job centre actually sent me to a coaching service and I had it spelt out exactly what each interview question meant and what kind of answer I was expected to give.
Turns out “tell me about yourself” doesn’t mean tell them where you were born and what your hobbies are 😅

Nope, I don’t think I’d ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.
We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don’t remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.
- Comment on american culture 2 months ago:
Mine didn’t. We did Buddy, The Crucible, Animal Farm and Shakespeare from what I remember. First I heard of the Odyssey was when I was 19 and DW did a retelling of it on Arthur. When I saw a copy of the story in the shop I worked at, I got it so I could read the actual story.

Can a catapult launch a 90kg projectile over 300m? No, didn’t think so.

I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 3 months ago:
Haha, okay, but they’re nothing special. I used to buy kits, but now I make them from scratch.
There are for my nieces. I’m currently making a game room for my mate, a full house and I’m thinking of making a mini vinyl shop too.
This was my first attempt at soldering too, as I couldn’t find any 3V LEDs prewired. Let’s just say it was an adventure, but it was worth it.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 3 months ago:
Yep, they’re great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.

Also, tinned coconut milk is actually labelled coconut milk just fine without a problem.
I wonder how many people might be be put off dairy, even if it’s just for a moment before putting it out their mind, if all dairy products were labelled mammary secretions.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 3 months ago:
Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 3 months ago:
You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).
