@liztai Where are you getting that from?

@liztai Three primary layers of shite:
* corrupt press
* disaster capitalist governments (not Starmer's)
* a handful of grifters

Tommy Robinson is the one of the grifters. He called for the riots. His brand speciality is anti-Muslim hate. He's been playing that game for 20 years.

All of these layers feed into each other.

@liztai Grifting arseholes fomenting pointless hate to get themselves attention and money.
The end of 13 years of disaster capitalists in Con governments asset stripping the country and fomenting hate to get attention and money for themselves because they don't know how to govern decently.
Horrible press (outside owners) fomenting hate.
This isn't "economic unrest". The cause is calculated manipulation.

@liztai Did you watch Kinou Hani Tabeta? (What Did You Eat Yesterday?) yet? We talked about it when you were asking for older M/M series.
It's so different, it might serve as a palette cleanser. Not one to binge IMO, more like a daily visit with friends.
It doesn't have the thrills or intensity of JoL of course, if that's what you're wanting more of. It's two men in their 40s who happened into a relationship figuring it out.

@jeromechoo I've always found a way to clean my plate, though rice and peas were tricky. A fork was easier for that than chopsticks.
(Now that I have neurological problems I just use a large bowl & soup spoon for everything. Am in awe of SEA two-utensil mastery 🙂)
Some of it is just what we're taught as kids, handed down through generations. Rice was more common in mine but what I learned came from older meat & potatoes generations and what was most efficient for them, so knives & forks

@bookstardust I call my PTW list the Black Hole of Good Intentions

@liztai Did you see any from the August-October '23 festival? I especially liked the coming of age films they 'screened'

@Bwee I found a new hobby, have made two friends (at least while I'm on the platform) but overall it's not been great.
I'm largely bedbound by chronic illness so my options for social contact are limited, otherwise I'd be gone.

@liztai I haven't found them on MDL either, not for violence. Not keen on Reddit but maybe I'd be less lonely there.

@geraineon

@liztai Lots? I guess they're not posting on the fedi then 🤷♀️

@geraineon

@liztai Thanks. I'm the odd one out for sure.

@geraineon

i remember when i used to avidly read conversations about #CDrama and #KDrama eagerly looking for more to add to my watch list.
Now I just keep reading until I find the post which tells me I won't be able to cope with it and this is another series I should probably miss.
How do you stress addicts manage it? Like seriously. How do you cope with all of the cortisol and stress reactions from your entertainment?

Project Gutenberg is on the fedi now!

They're a brilliant and fantastic, volunteer- and donation-run resource for free e-books, especially older forgotten about works which are hard to find in print.

Can't recommend them highly enough. No e-reader needed, I use my tablet in dark mode. Do check them out.
