Ahh so maybe that's why I'm seeing a lot more posts, comments and votes... I've been using Jerboa since I landed here and on the whole I'm fine with it, can anyone who's used both tell me whether there's a big difference between the two?
No-one ever lay on their death bed wishing they'd done more ironing.
On the whole (unless it's necessary for a professional environment) it's a waste of time. I iron nothing, and got rid of my ironing board because it was just getting in the way. I've kept my iron just in case, but last time it was used was about 5 years ago when a friend was staying who needed to iron a shirt for a funeral.
I had an ex who wouldn't try anything, it was infuriating. I asked him once whether he liked a vegetable, he said no, I asked how it had been cooked when he had it as maybe he'd like it if it was done a different way, and he said he'd never tried it. The only vegetable he'd eat was broccoli. He got upset when I said he had the eating habits of a toddler but I stand by that.
Oh you've just reminded me of my saddest meal, when I had no money. All I had was dried pasta, half a jar of pickled onions, a tin of baked beans (British ones not sweet) and one crust of a loaf of bread. Cool, I can do baked beans on toast. Toasted the bread, heated the beans in a pan. As I took the pan off the heat the handle and the pan decided to take that moment to part ways, and pan and beans fell to the floor. Floor was filthy, and we had a rat issue as well as a pet cat, so scraping the beans up wasn't an option. I cried. I was so hungry Ended up cooking the pasta and putting some pickled onions on. Tried to eat it, couldn't, cried some more, and then went to a friend's house to beg to be fed.
I can't actually eat instant noodles now because I survived on them back then. Used to be able to get 10 packs for ÂŁ1 in a shop near me, and I probably ate them at least once a day.
If the 90s is cheating how about a 1980 film? With the caveat that I haven't watched it since the 90s/00s and my opinion may change if I watched it again. But I really enjoyed Robert Altman's Popeye film, and was quite disappointed to find out it was an unloved flop. 58% critic score, 39% audience score.
Interesting, I'm late 40s, and I'd say my closest straight male friends definitely fall more within the men's lib way of thinking, or at least are valiantly trying, because they see through the bullshit and see how harmful it is. The vast majority of straight men of my generation though, no, they're not like that at all. It's desperately sad. They're miserable and angry but can't see the box they're in that's making them that way.
I think r/menslib shows it can be done, with very clear community rules and good moderation. There's definitely a need for it. There are plenty of men out there with their heads screwed on right and who need to be able to talk about issues that effect men without the conversation being derailed into sexist rants about women. I think maybe you're a little too pessimistic about men and their ability to define masculinity for themselves in a healthy and un sexist way.
Non-tech. Pubs / bars, arts, then generic admin. Now in a regulatory case working role. Can't really say much more without revealing my employer as it's very very niche (but not exciting, at all, trust me on that).
The name isn't new, it comes from the same place as women's lib, afaik the concept of Mens Lib has been around since the 70s. We all want to be free of harmful and unnecessary gender stereotypes. r/menslib was a great subreddit.
It's a myth. For a start most people's hayfever isn't anything to do with flower pollen, it's grass and tree pollen and fungal spores. Pollen and spores can be carried by air currents and travel long distances. The flowers your local honey comes from are unlikely to be causing your hayfever. You should buy local honey over commercial honey though because it supports small producers.
Twin Peaks, the original run. I watched each episode twice a week when it first aired, then several times once I had it on VHS (including a 24hr marathon with my friends), and then I've watched it about 3 or 4 times on DVD. However this has involved fast forwarding through some of the storylines I don't like in the 2nd season (mostly James & Evelyn,,little Nicky, and a lot of the Nadine and Mike stuff). I've only watched the 3rd season once so far, it's long, and quite intense, and I haven't had the head space and time I would like to dedicate to it when I go back into it again.
