I Am Not Always Very Attached To Being Alive: Living With Passive Suicidal Ideation
  • I've had this since my teens. Some days, weeks, even months are harder than others, but no matter what I always feel like an attention-seeking fraud for not being "serious" about suicide, like others who actually try it

    I cope through humour, mostly. I affectionately refer to the train station near me as my "get out of jail free card", for when things get too much and I eventually succumb. It' somehow helps to know I'm kidding, but also not kidding. Though I've thought and planned enough to know if I did ever really do it, that's probably not what I'd do.

    But yeah. I find all I can do is take each day as it comes.

  • The glyphs are a fun gimmick. I wouldn't say you're likely to use them all that much.

    Maybe Google around a bit and see what you can find. There will definitely be other mid-range phones that lean more heavily into the camera, but at this price you're always going to be making concessions somewhere.

  • If you're buying the phone outright then that could work. Provided it's supported for that long, and you can look after it well enough then I don't see why not - you just have to be prepared to pay £800 all at once.

    Part of my reasoning is the £400 cost keeps my monthly bill down, as I don't buy the phone outright.

    If nothing else, keeping one phone for 6 years would be better for the environment.

  • In my opinion it's fine. I'm not super into photography or anything so take that with a big grain of salt. I don't take too many pictures, but when I do they seem perfectly serviceable.

    They're never going to compare to a newer flagship, mind you.

  • Usain Bolt dunking
  • Did that stand? I'm not super familiar with basketball but it looks like he takes 4 steps (although the first couple are tiny) after receiving the ball without bouncing it.

    I thought you could only take 2 (or 3, I'm not sure)?

  • All of this is more than I'm prepared to pay for a phone these days. It's absurd.

    I switched to a Nothing Phone 1 last year (about £400?) and it's been more than capable of handling my daily usage.

    I'll keep the thing for three years, then upgrade to another mid-range. I don't need to pay more than twice the price for hugely diminishing returns.

  • Lower your fucking ticket price
  • I started getting into F1 a bit more in the past couple of years.

    I remember thinking it might be a cool idea to try and go along to a race at Silverstone. Seemed like it would be a good day out.

    Took one look at the prices and resigned myself to probably never going to an F1 race in my life, unless I suddenly come into vast amounts.of sustained wealth.

  • Am I old now?
  • I'm one of the younger millennials (I think?).

    I never carry cash unless I have to (for some reason dependent on where I'm going). I primarily use my phone to make payments, and I don't have a traditional wallet, but I do have a slim card-holder that carries my debit card, driving licence and one or two other important cards.

    Take that for what you will, I guess!

  • Steam Deal: Save 75% on Control Ultimate Edition on Steam
  • Control starts strong, but I got about two thirds of the way through and still felt like I hadn't progressed the story in any meaningful way, at which point the stylised visuals and combat just wasn't enough to keep me engaged.

    I dunno. Maybe I gave up right before things were due to start picking up, but for all the hours I'd sunk into it, I didn't feel like much more than a glorified maintenance woman, with most quests consisting of "go there, flip a switch, come back"

    Still, at this price, it's easily worth a punt for anyone with interest.

    Also it's 100% "SCP: the game" 😅

  • General election: Count Binface and Elmo return to stand against Sunak and Starmer
  • This has been a thing for years. Binface got like, 10K votes when he ran for mayor of London once.

    I think people have broadly become tired with the joke now, though. The state of politics has become too depressing to see the humour anymore.

  • The Bear is a masterpiece
  • Glamming up cheap ramen is a joy.

    I like to add butter, a slug of soy sauce and chilli sauce, spring onion and sliced chillies.

    It's not gonna win me any awards, but it's bloody tasty.

    It's been like 10 years since I watched Madoka. I remember very little about it. But you know what I didn't forget?
