I’ve seen them called digital gardens, because they like something you maintain and let grow with no specific purpose.

I’ve been saying this for months. He strikes me as not being in it for his party, his country nor his political legacy. He’s doing everything for himself and his business connections.

Sometimes hearing other peoples opinions can spoil something for you. I’m kind of glad I’ve never found any online communities based around Xanth now, because that’s never even crossed my mind, and I’m sure there are many others that would do the same, where it’s just some fun, silly story books from my childhood for now.

I remember the character, but I mostly read ones that happened after him (the series spans multiple generations).

I think his name began with a B. I may try to dig through them and find the name of the book.

I came here to say both of these for the same reasons.

I read them both after reading some people saying they changed their lives on reddit. Siddhartha had some effect on my I still can’t pin down, bit changed how I looked at my life.

Oh my god. I’ve never heard another human being reference this series or be aware of this series.

My mum read them when she was a girl and passes them down to me when I was a kid. For my 30th birthday, she hunted down the whole collection for me and now it’s one of my most prized possessions.

For you. Red/yellow/green flags can be entirely subjective, and what’s yellow for you can be green for someone else.

Do you know if it’s possible to have some mild form of this? Me and my brother have been trying to work out our “digestive” issues for a few years with doctors with no success.

I can relate to the feeling of food/drink feeling like its “piling up” because sometimes I throw up last nights dinner when I’m brushing my tongue the next day.

It’s something that’s gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I don’t know if that plays into it.

I keep seeing Bun & Sum coming up in these lists. They’ve been pretty much my fav for the last year and I didn’t even realise they were this popular.

I don’t think he’s in it for party or country, I think he’s in it for himself, his family and their connections. It seems like every move he makes is one that’s going to benefit their little business empire and he’s making a rush job of it because he knows he’s only go a year left and Tories won’t get in next election.

You’re on a UK community here buddy. We had police before the USA was founded. Your link literally says USA policing was based on the british model.

Yes, absolutely.

Some friends and I were attacked at a taxi rank on a busy high street many years ago. 3 were stabbed/slashed with a bottle and we all had a night in A&E. One has permanent face scars from it.

CCTV showed them getting into a taxi, the taxi driver was found and said they dropped them off at a petrol station.

The police had all that info and got the CCTV from the petrol station, and still couldn’t/didn’t identify them.

This bill needs to be killed. It’s just more surveillance wrapped in saving the kids.

I’ve had people say to me “But what if you’re partner was attacked, you would be glad that CCTV/message snooping was there” when debating these topics.

I’m not going to lie, that’s hard to argue against, I would if it helped catch them, but I’d rather it didn’t happen in the first place. I don’t know where I’m going with this…

Yeah same. I’ve been here a year now, and wouldn’t say I have any friends or mates. I find it much harder to get casual chit chat into interactions over Slack.

I’ve never really experienced this, but then I would walk in and say a general good morning/hello/how was everyones weekend to everyone in my row of desks. I try to make a point of being sociable for my own well being.

Not everyone was receptive, some just politely said it back, some we ended up having a chat. It was generally quite a sociable company though.

My new place is a different experience. I dont actually know anyone at my new place, as I work from home and have only been in to the office 3 times. I still said Hello as I sat down at a desk of strangers and I only got some meek replies…

I just think it depends on the company culture. I also think younger people tend to be more reserved though? I’m not sure.
