In England we call it pop. Or fizzy drinks. E.g. “what fizzy drinks do you have?” “We have Coke, Fanta, Lemonade”

I miss Apollo and Reddit too.

Dyson Airwrap. There’s a reason you never see professional salons using them.. it’s because they’re just not as good as a traditional hair dryer and other curling methods. I tried everything to get that thing to work and give me a nice style but it just didn’t. I’d use the airwrap attachments to curl my hair and by the time I’d finished, the curls I’d started on would already have dropped out. I couldn’t manage to get a nice smooth blow-dry like I can with a normal hairdryer either.

It’s like a jack-of-all-trades hairstyler. If you’re thinking of getting one I’d seriously recommend investing in a pro hairdryer instead and save your money. I can do my hair faster and my style lasts a lot longer with a hair dryer and curling with straighteners or rollers. I believe they do work for some people, but you have to have a specific type of hair (quite thick, with a natural wave or curl already) and it didn’t work for me. I’ve also had friends say the same thing.

This woman had the same experience as me with it:

In case of that particular game, it’s rigged to fuck. Anything that tries to get you to spend money is going to be. So I’d say a previously calculated result dictates the outcome.

Have you tried reading a book?

Oh god I hate it. I can’t explain why it makes me feel so angry. Sometimes if I stretch with my arms up my husband will give me a little playful gentle poke in the ribs and I feel so bad because it honestly makes me want to punch him. I have this horrible visceral reaction to it. It doesn’t make me laugh at all, just feels like nails down a chalk board and painful at the same time.

Am I missing something or is there a setting for marking a post as red on viewing an image?

What the fuck are Ofgem doing? I thought they were meant to be regulating that shit?

I’m sad we haven’t got an r/Scottishpeopletwitter equivalent yet.

I’ve got my theme set to Embark but it’s not changing the colours. It was fine until a few mins ago. I opened the app and the theme has reverted to the default, but the selection is still on Embark.

I think you should heed your own advice. Leave Reddit and stick to Memmy 😊

Saved you a click: production halted for actors and writers strikes. Will resume when they’re over.

I miss the days when it wasn’t flooded with weaponised idiocy.

That and neopets.

Going too far for me. Surely we can come up with something more original?
