Or buying “technical” outdoor clothing, which is a look, but not necessarily one everyone wants all the time.

I don’t regret my $500 goretex I bought 20 years ago, but the amount of times I want to wear bright red as someone who doesn’t like to draw attention…

Oof, the “not patient with his own” resonates hard to the son of a silent generation Aussie, whose formative leads were fatherless during WWII. I watched the patience with which he explained and taught things to others (inc my own kids), yet I had to get Mum to teach me to drive 🤷‍♂️

Jeebus Cam, what a way to take the mood down a peg on Friday night. Pocket plus original twitter was a match made in early internet heaven, and I *learned so much* during that time.

Fucking hell, looks like I’ve managed to live in a reality where I was taught it, didn’t realise it then wasn’t, and kiddos lucked into a school that taught it without us realising.

I will never tire of hearing people posting their reactions to Andor.

As a SW fan of ye olde days (when I hid it cos it was too nerdy in high school), it gives me life like little else to see people fall in love with the “normal” people of that universe

Oh they’d better not take this as thinking the people think they’re some kind of messiah

It’s not that I didn’t love it before, but this shitstain of a dystopian present is making me love my 27yo car even more
