  • Sugar, its always the sugar.

    A lot of the working class live on lunch meal. Which is a sandwich, drink and “snack”.

    The drink is always sugary one, because who is going to get water if they can get soda? The snack is chocolate bar or pack of crisps.

    Then there’s big culture of take outs. Chippies are getting super expensive so it is going down a bit… But I worked with people getting 5 take outs a week because they were too tired to cook after work.

    Then you go out and have a meal of some kind at / after pub.

    Yeah, it’s everywhere because it’s just too easy to eat crappy food. We have maybe one take out every 2 months and do all our own cooking, but wife only works part time. So I guess it’s easier to manage? If I were single or we both worked and had multiple children… I don’t know if it’d be the same.



  • Lemmy? Pick any platform. It’s full of “experts” shouting into the void for years now. It’s sickening how these people have the same rights to vote. (/A obviously)

    Your common folk knows Jack shit about their own politics and even less so about global ones. It’s good to hold people accountable but this? This is just madness. There is zero nuance and only goes from one extreme to other. Yes we all want zero civilian deaths, full tolerance, equal rights and for police to be better. But are there any real solutions out here? Ofc not. Just another cave dweller parroting same arguments they read somewhere. Critical thinking is a thing of the past. And it’s sad as I haven’t got an answer either.




  • Was it tho?

    Don’t get me wrong… It’s awful racism is fucking shit and I’m subject to it as immigrant a lot. Obviously not to this level or anyone that was the wrong colour after 9/11.

    But what did this article say? What opportunities/jobs/friends has she lost? Why not go into personal affairs, that’s what the title lead me to believe the article was about.

    Show us the daily struggles of immigrants and racism in full force! It just boggled down to yet another “generic” preaching to those already in your favour? This isn’t swaying anyone, let’s be real here. Those that need to read it, won’t.

    Its the easiest shit to get away with. Hating and masse. Its number one strategy which worked so well against “my people” and this journalist is feeding more into it! Show me your personal story, if you only show numbers, there’s no personality, your people just became a statistic.

    I hope my point comes across.
