That constant smackdown when you see the interest charged to the mortgage account...I pay more than the minimum payment in the vain hope that it genuinely reduces the loan term from 30 to under 20 years (which means I might still be alive when it's paid off!). Current prediction is 22 years, so that's still an improvement. The... See More »
the lie that women can be men and men can be womenBorn boy/male or girl/female and that doesn't change. So misgendering is a misnomer.
Did you go to prom or whatever it's called where you are?Is it considered mandatory to go? If you don't go or don't want to go what happens? Here in Oz they're just called school formals or were in the 1980's.
Do you have to 'actively' work to attract others? Why isn't 'being yourself' enough?Seems you're expected to present a fake representation of who/what you are for anyone to show interest.
Prince Harry knocks on random doors. His wife creates dangerous chemical concoctionsSounds like a Disney movie going very wrong.
Do you send birthday or mother's/father's Day wishes to an ex?I did a few times for my second ex but quickly realised it's worthless to be nice to people who treat you as a lesser human when you disagree with their worldview.
Heard of the 'chromebook challenge'?It's dangerous. Kids put something conductive into a live USB port on a laptop PC in their classroom to make the port 'short out' and it's causing thermal runaway fires in the batteries of these devices, resulting in scores of class/school... See More »
If you don't have a passport are you basically a 'prisoner' in your own country? 8-)I haven't had one for nearly 15 yrs but don't feel like a 'prisoner', yet so many people for whom regard international travel as a 'human rite' (not 'right') and look down on anyone who doesn't all seem to have that attitude. Interational travel is... See More »
What does you think about workplace giving aka forced philanthropy?I'm not a charity supporter generally as most charities are commercial scams. A former workplace has a bee in its corporate bonnet about workplace giving aka forced (almost) philanthropy where staff are pushed to donate to supposedly charitable... See More »
Is 'loves to travel' the new key dating pre-requisite post-Covid? 8-)Soooooo many single women state this in one way or another. Almost like you have to be prepared to suddenly spring plans for an international vacation (and probably pay for it) on a prospective partner... What are other people's experiences around...

Are you upgrading to Windows 11 or sticking with 10 or going to something like Linux?Win 11 requires hardware to support TPM (Trusted Platform Manager) 2.0 which renders almost all current hardware older than about 5 yrs or so redundant in terms of being able to upgrade to Windows 11.
The EV 'charging conundrum'This is where the input of electricity gets divided by the number of cars plugged in at a charging site wanting to charge. ie. if you want a 350 kW fast charger, the site needs at least a 350 kW power feed. If it has say 500 kW feed, and two... See More »
What sort of heating and cooling do you have in your home?I have heating (put more clothes on) and cooling (take more clothes off) lol. Winter minimum temps might get too just below 0 C here and during summer the max temps can get to 45 C. it's funny how we think of temperature as that's a very tiny range... See More »
Why do religious people all say 'please pray for me' when they doing anything they feel requires simping?Like a woman who's a mum having to be away from her young child/children for a couple of days to attend someone's wedding or funeral or other special life event, for some examples. Life happens - it doesn't need 'annointments'. Just my view of... See More »
