What's the difference?

That was a great read, thank you for sharing that. My apologies to the man who suffered acute psychological lacerations, I'm about to cause one more by shamelessly stealing that line for my own use (my ancestors were also colonised by the English, so it's okay. I think?).
Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Long Island doctor. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy. Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.
What the hell. I hope the judge tells Disney where to shove their arbitration clause.
Isn't banggood legit? I know the name looks suspicious as heck (well, if I didn't know better, I'd think it was an NSFW site), but I remember Atomic Shrimp using it for legit purchases. I'd never use it though. I think it's in the same stable as Ali express and that sort of thing.
Yeah I've had a couple of customers outright wrap their hand around mine as I handed them their change. It's creepy and invasive. If it happened enough times, I'd just start putting everyone's change on the counter.
Lightweights!
Definitely more than five years. About ten years ago is when I saw it.
They will happily keep up unsafe products, why do they care about this?
Yep, at least ten years ago I went to reorder some electric toothbrush heads, went to my past purchases to find the same ones, only to see the listing (with my review for the brush heads still there) had a completely different product.
December will be my 4 year Amazon-free anniversary. Screw that site.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how much effort this YouTuber puts in just for us (has nothing to do with this channel being how they pay their bills, they do it all for us!)

English used to be phonetic, it's just people started changing the way they pronounced vowels, but the spelling stayed the same. For example, both the k and the gh in "knight" used to be pronounced.
You get a pat on the back for that *ahem*
Edit: damn, someone beat me to it. Anyone for Fun Kart Grand Prix?
I probably would have been diagnosed ARFID as a kid if it was a thing back then. But switching to a plant based diet ten years ago actually made me try MORE foods. Before that, it was tea and toast for breakfast, jacket potato or chips for lunch and crisps and chocolate for dinner. Maybe once or twice I week I might boil a bit of sweetcorn or carrot to go with my lunch. So yeah, very poor diet.
Even my mum, who was quite against my diet change at first, had to admit that it was the best thing for me. You tend to become more aware of what you're eating in terms of nutrition.
Also a lot of my physical and mental health problems eased up. I used to find it very difficult to eat breakfast if I had to wake up early, I'd feel sick and struggle to swallow food, I don't know why exactly, but after I switched, I can eat at 5 in the morning, no problem.
I'm not vegan (I eat a fish finger or two now and then, maybe 3 or 4 times a month), but yeah definitely I feel better in both mind and body since cutting out dairy and eggs (I know for a fact eggs were triggering my anxiety and low mood, dairy was the physical).
Here in the UK, it's much easier to follow a plant based diet in recent years. On the negative side, there's a lot more vegan junk food and highly processed meat alternatives available now.
The key to enjoying a plant based diet is to appreciate plant foods for what they are. Don't think that you need to replace your meat with a fake meat. It's more costly too.
Sorry for the essay. Good luck!
