  My family is from Yorkshire, and I recognised it immediately (and the ‘tint in’ tin joke!)… So well done from me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Step by step...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point the first step is also the next step

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Step by step...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The truth in my opinion is: the hardest step is always the next one

  I recommend not doing this 😂 I prefer to call the British isles “the European archipelago” :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What am I supposed to do with all this blood now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a person who grew up in Ireland since I was 5: this is funny to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nap game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t go to sleep if I don’t set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol

  I was essentially certain that this meant: “their face when”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung advertising new phone in my notifications⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I’d actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That’s a one way trip to the toilet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I cannot be worry??⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, I can agree with this logic “it’s better to try than to give in” much more than “there’s always a solution”.

  That to me still leaves some people starving of hunger due to a lack of money and an excess of bills. But I agree that even in that horrible situation it’s better to keep trying than give in.

  I was worried the argument here was closer to “you’re in this terrible situation because you didn’t try enough” which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

  I feel now that we’re in agreement though?

  This is reductive to the point of absurdity, if this were true no one would ever die from any problem (i.e. drowning, falling, etc.) They’d simply activate ingenuity.

  Some problems do not have a solution in a given circumstance.

  E.g. I’m locked in a prison on a sinking ship that’s already 1km underwater, and my cell is completely full of water and I’ve held my breath for 2 minutes now.

  This is my favourite comment of all my experience with Lemmy so far.
