Why is everyone such a wet lettuce?

Hand-wringing over badges. Upset over name origins. The list goes on and on.

Are people just bored and want some attention online or something?

It's my own fault for reading threads on here, and having other social media I guess!

I'm not. I am a crispy snapping carrot.

I saw a video yesterday about how to get mentally prepared for winter. Splitting out the weeks into zones and what needs to be done in those to get through mentally.

Or you could….go about your life as usual with a coat and hat and turn the lights on earlier.

This post made my day!

But what about the transition to spring next year? AAARGH! I'm not prepared! Someone HELP!

Amazing!

We all need some resilience.

What was the name origin thread?

I'm shocked at how much people reveal about themselves. I'd be terrified of stalkerish behavioursGrin

Something something Arabic name for a while child

I'm having a good old whinge here, ironically. My god social media is dreary - just people moaning, 'spreading awareness', wanging on and on about shit that happened decades/centuries ago.

It's altogether very boring.

Social media has definitely brought out the drama llama's. Everyone seems to be an anxiety riddled mess nowadays. God knows how it started but I doubt it will get better when they've got all these platforms to whinge on😂
