I've never had prime. Whenever I look at Amazon now it's basically a local AliExpress with loads of cheaply made Chinese stuff. Amazon is not cheap anymore either. eBay is always cheaper.

Ukraine doesn't want them there either, which is what they're fighting for.

Still, I agree that, regardless of the side, war sucks and is just a waste of human life. Russia just needs to go home to make it stop.

What's wrong about crying about a cat? It's like losing a family member after all.

I lost my cat two years ago and miss her dearly. We vowed no more pets but as time went on we missed having a pet. So we got another cat.

It's hard when the end feels so cruel but having years of joy outweighs the weeks of sadness.

Amazing how such a small thing can cause so much devastation.

Because Lemmy has a hard-on for Linux and FOSS so loves to shit on Microsoft. I'm personally, albeit slowly, moving over to Linux but it's not been a straight forward ride that people make out that it is. I often hit an issue and just reboot into Windows to get what I need done without having to spend hours troubleshooting.

It's too expensive to drink out now.

I'm a real ale drinker and moved from the Midlands to the south coast. I was paying £3.20 for a really good real ale before I moved. I was paying £4.60 for an ale after I moved. The last time I looked they went up to £4.90. I'm sure they're over a fiver now. For £7 you can get 4 x 500ml bottles from a supermarket for the same beer.

People moan about Spoons but their beers are usually less than £3. I've even seen one that was doing £1 for a pint. I used some 50p off tokens I had from CAMRA. Three pints for £1.50. Theres a reason their pubs are always busy.

I'm all for supporting pubs but they've priced me out.

They might lose out on hardware sales but they'll gain from Store sales.

That's the point yes. At some point I'm sure they will work it out. But they haven't yet. Luckily the eldest is lazy. If he wasn't he would have read the email he got when he was 13 which meant he could leave the family group which I also use to turn off their devices for bed time...

They find ways yes. When I was blocking YouTube I found him watching YouTube via Spotify. Not sure how that worked. But I blocked that too as a result.

I don't think they have anything currently as when it's blocked you see them outside their bedrooms a lot more!
