Fuck Heinz in general. They don’t make things taste like actual things, just sweet crap.

Their tomato sauce is terrible. Tomatoes taste tangy, not sweet.

Blue cheese.

Haggis is only hated by those who haven’t tried it.

Goes great with some neeps and tatties ❤️

Absolute heathen.

It’s obvious to me. I get that it’s not obvious to her 😂

Oh she does it constantly with everyone 😂 she is aware, and is striving to do it less, but yeah, it’s all confidence.

She loves baking, for example, and is really good at it, but will apologise profusely for how bad they are before anyone has even tasted them. Perfectionism is absolutely a part of it, and I think that’s been imposed on her by her mum who is also a perfectionist and expects everyone else to be a perfectionist.

But yeah, were figuring it out 😊

I do experience a bit of the paradox of impatience:

“Sorry”

“Don’t be sorry”

“Are you angry?”

“I’m not angry”

“Did I do something wrong?”

"NO YOU DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG FFS!!* 😂

Yeah, I know the struggle 😂

We’ve both been working on ourselves emotionally for a long time, so we spend a lot of time and energy trying to explore why we feel certain ways about different things, and then working together to try and help each other get to where we want to be.

I obviously have behaviours which I don’t like about myself which I’m working on, and she also has behaviours which she’s trying to work on. This is one of those areas where we’re trying to figure out together “how much apologising is too much?” as a general curiosity, rather than it being an actual problem.

Neither of us feel like we apologise enough, but I don’t get called out on how much I apologise, but she does. A lot of our friends and family often tell her she doesn’t need to apologise, or that she apologises too much! 😂

I understand why I don’t want her to do it, and it’s for many of the reasons you stated: perfectionism, people-pleasing, high social standards, fear of disappointment, etc. all of which can lead to her feeling sad, anxious, and over thinking every tiny detail which obviously isn’t good for mental health.

But to try and figure out how I physically and emotionally feel when I hear her say “sorry” is tricky. Do I get frustrated? Do I feel pity? Am I annoyed? Am I annoyed at her? (Obviously I’m not, but she often assumes I am)

I guess we’re just finding it interesting to work through that childish curiosity of answering the question “…but why?” from a perspective which isn’t as often looked through.

And thank you for the response! ❤️

We live in the age of EVERYTHING MUST BE RATED 5 STARS! Anything below that, even a 4 star review, is seen as utterly terrible.

I’ve heard there are places that will pull you in for performance reviews if a customer rates you 4 stars or below. My memory is telling that was in relation to Über, but I may be wrong.

Whatever you say you fucking dumbass 👍

This is my take on it. That unexpected spike in the salary is slightly skewed stats from the billionaires with all the money and none of the knowledge.

Then it goes back down to nearly 0 where most of our average wages actually are.

Source: My source is that I made it the fuck up, but it’s certainly what it feels like when you see the clueless assholes with money and power.

Don’t bully me, I’ll come :(

Used to get this from Rocket League back in the day. My eyes would practically glaze over at times with just how automatic my movements would be.

Saw a meme the other day saying the Titanic sank and the Titan sank: beware the Tit

I don’t want to simply repeat what others have said, but on a personal level, I’m actually enjoying the smaller overall community - it makes it a bit more personal, I feel. I enjoy that. Yeah, fair enough, it’s not great for niches, but you don’t have to be tethered down to one place for your content.

Back in my day, you had to go to completely different websites for your niche content! Forums were the mainstream!

I hope it’s mostly an evolution maybe with some extra buttons on the back like the steam deck.

On a personal level, I always thought controllers with 6 face buttons instead of 4 needed to be more of a thing. I know the original Xbox tried with its black and white buttons, but I was thinking more a traditional A, B, C, X, Y, Z setup like the SEGA Saturn

Try to remember the basics of CQC

Linkin Park’s new album, From Zero.

They say that nobody hates Linkin Park more than a Linkin Park fan, but I’m happy to say that a lot of people seem to be pretty positive about the new stuff ❤️

I think Overflow is already an underrated gem. It’s eerily soothing. I love it.

I’m a driving instructor. One of my learners passed last week without a single fault 🤘 absolute legend she is.

I, too, feel more human here fellow human 💪
