As someone who never had any friends in school, my personal recommendation is make friends based on your interests (whether in person or online) and then keep to yourself the rest of the time. Expending effort to try to fit in both drains you and is immediately noticeable to others so it has little merit.
I mean that's the cynical view largely based on how conditions in mainly one particular country have developed sure, but it's not philosophically what economics is about (which is allocating resources in a utility maximising way)
Like others, medical stuff has revealed everything 'looks fine' for me but I've basically gone down the road of eliminating everything from the diet and bringing in safe foods one at a time to see how you react. I realised for me certain things are a no no, cut out most dairy, onions etc. Then just make a routine diet out of the stuff you know works, making sure you're getting enough protein, fat, carb, fibre etc.
Thanks for this reminder at the end. I sound similar, 'normal unless everything collapses' and I have got a lot better these past few years from just backing out of things more often
BBC is publicly funded and generally aims to be factual so yes. The guardian and telegraph are good quality reporting but the guardian has extreme liberal bias and the telegraph has extreme conservative bias so you have to bear this in mind when drawing any conclusions. The Times is a bit more in the middle. All the tabloids like daily mail and the sun are trash for 'the masses', essentially clickbait before the internet existed.
For the sake of argument, what would you call a seat that was not next to the aisle? I'm not defending them but at the same time I'd understand window seat just means 'against fuselage', yet I agree this is a confusing term.
My dad is a retired driving instructor and has come across people similar to this. Undiagnosed learning difficulties are probably part of it, but in many cases the people that struggled also had English being not a native language. Maybe it is the combination of the two in these extreme cases
Thanks for understanding, this happens when I speak to any of my closest friends, I just go off on something for like an hour and then realise and feel guilty afterwards
Yeah, the first Mac I bought I only ever bought Snow Leopard as an upgrade, skipped other versions and then upgraded to Mountain Lion or whatever was the first free version. That's basically 30ish spent over the entire almost 20 years I've been using Macs on actual software.
The comic is kind of dumb because it's Microsoft who've typically made tons of money on software licenses, everyone knows that Apple makes their money on hardware.
