- Comment on How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food? 6 days ago:
Probably even better for OP if they have no money is the Olio app, where people give away free food (and non-food). It depends on activity in your local area, but in many areas there are people who regularly collect food from supermarkets at the end of the day to give away. I’ve given away portions of meals before when I’ve cooked too much to freeze it all.

Well yeah obvs. I meant in the present and future. I was still a kid when we won last, and I’m old af now.

This is genuinely the closest we will ever get to a Eurovision win, ever.

Yeah but you try saying ‘ununderstandable’ after a couple of drinks

How about carpet beetles and clothes moths?

I encountered the magic roundabout 25 years ago, just as a passenger, and I’m still mentally scarred.
- Comment on 'I told police who my burglar was - but they did nothing' 3 months ago:
Our voting system sucks, the media on the whole leans towards the right wing, and in general the population isn’t very politically informed / literate and is easily swayed by fearmongering and misinformation. Plus the good old fashioned selfishness of the people who are well off or comfortable.

I probably didn’t have as good an education as the highest educated classes in most ancient Egyptian dynasties.
- Comment on Ex-commissioner for facial recognition tech joins Facewatch firm he approved 4 months ago:
I still hold that a lot of the anti mask conspiracy theories were fuelled by those who have financial and political interests in facial recognition surveillance. I have no evidence to base this on, it just makes sense to me that they would be threatened by everyone suddenly masking up.
- Comment on Disabled people must work from home to do ‘their duty’, says UK minister 5 months ago:
And yet when disabled staff request home working in many organisations (including the civil service) they face a battle.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 6 months ago:
You think pronouns are stupid? How do you feel about verbs, and adjectives?
- Comment on What’s the deal with Western Sahara? 7 months ago:
I’m a bit confused by your comment and what you mean by “a tribe here or there has been through it” and that it’s unknown territory? It’s sparsely populated, but according to Wikipedia about 500k people live there, and they’re mostly in urban areas. Surely the lack of data is more down to the political disputes over who governs it? I’d imagine the locals are reluctant to share information with the Moroccan government who they see as the occupiers.
- Comment on American bully XL dogs to be banned by end of year - Sunak 7 months ago:
So I read this article recently, and it suggested that some American breeders think there’s specific issues with the breeding line of XLs that are bred in the UK.
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 8 months ago:
Ha, I sent a very long and furious email to my (Labour) MP when that law got introduced, basically saying excuse me I’m a woman that squirts, what are you as a fellow woman going to do about a law that says that’s a deviant and obscene act? And got completely ignored - usually I got a generic response from her on other issues, on that I just got tumbleweed.
(And before I get any thirsty messages, I’m menopausal and that bitch has dried up. Nothing to see, move on.)
- Comment on Most English schools handing out clothes and food to children 8 months ago:
Wut?
I mean I can’t, you’re right, but the government and HMRC can. If the government actually wanted to.
- Comment on Most English schools handing out clothes and food to children 8 months ago:
We need more wealth taxes, increased public spending, and wage increases for the public sector and the lowest paid jobs. And we really need to be putting serious effort into introducing some kind of universal income. That’s how you share wealth.
- Comment on Baby boomers are sitting pretty – as millennials foot the bill for high inflation 8 months ago:
I’m Gen X and benefitted hugely from university fee support, student grants (although these were coming to an end and I also had loans), unemployment benefits, back to work incentives and schemes, and the availability of social housing (I’m still in my housing association flat now) back in the 90s. It’s not like being on the dole back then was amazing, but fuck me it wasn’t as brutal as the current system which is intentionally cruel. And the fact that young people now have to take on huge debt to go to university, and have virtually no hope of getting an affordable rented home through social housing, is just appalling. These things are so crucial to getting a chance to start off in life. Each generation seems to be getting fucked over harder than the one before.
- Comment on Private equity groups bet on UK healthcare as NHS waiting lists grow 8 months ago:
This is how it was designed to happen. It’s heartbreaking that by the time people realise that the NHS has been privatised it will all be a done deal. It’s in its death throes now. And then when it’s gone we’ll be gaslit into thinking it was always this way, or it’s the fault of socialism or something.

How much practice? I’m not very good at practicing. If something is a faff I’m liable to give up quickly, particularly if it’s something that could be icky.
- Comment on Does anyone *not* love using their bidet? 8 months ago:
Ewwww. I think I’d need to look into that more before trying one.
- Comment on Does anyone *not* love using their bidet? 8 months ago:
When you’re sitting the arse sits a bit above the vulva, height wise. Just didn’t like the idea of water trickling poo down between my flaps, where it could then get into the vagina.
- Comment on Does anyone *not* love using their bidet? 8 months ago:
Ah! Thanks for this. I didn’t know about the water direction. This makes sense now.
- Comment on Does anyone *not* love using their bidet? 8 months ago:
Loving the clear, graphic answers in here, so can I piggyback on this to ask a question for vagina owning bidet users please:
How do you use it so it doesn’t sploosh poo bacteria into your vagina? Doesn’t the water trickle down into your bits?
