Fair opinion, it can be a little rough to follow along if you’re not in the mood for comedy. Rating things as cringe is so dead tho.
Fresh new user to federated boards, please let me know if I miss something! I can take things a little too literal sometimes.

Super neat!! Thanks for the link. :) If anyone likes the style of writing, go look at the Discworld community. These books are great.
I’m hoping this quote can drive some critical thinking about sustainability, and maybe some discussion about how to better what people CAN afford/already have.
Here’s my example: Nice Hoka shoes are typically 100$+, but Sketcher’s Work Sneakers are ~40$. The Hokas would last a lot longer and be more ergonomic, but that price is way out of my reach. The Sketchers get disintegrated by a year of use.
What I do is add arch supports and gel shoe inserts (9$ iirc) into the Sketchers, and replace those when they wear. It adds about two years of life to the shoes! :)
I don’t live in the UK, would you be willing to give an example of what the yearly lump sum is vs the monthly fee? I’m genuinely curious!
