I feel like my house is never clean/tidy enough.

You say that, but I have been trying to find a non-smart TV for months, Consumers don't always have much choice.

I can remember a lot from being a child. Mostly a sense of frustration and powerlessness.

But also the way in which things seemed more interesting than they do now. Like I could be fascinated by watching a tree sway in the wind in a way which wouldn't happen now - at least, not without conscious, meditation style effort. I remember when an hour seemed like an almost intolerably long stretch of time.

I also remember loads of events in visual detail, though I'm terrible at remembering when they happened.

A vent: why is it any of your business why I had X months without work? Maybe I had enough money not to work for a bit and felt like doing something different. Why am I obligated to continuous labour even when I don't need it. Why am I subject to your judgement for not renting out my life at every possible moment?

Well, no, but you can't survive on oranges either!

Why citrus, specifically? Are they especially profitable?

That's a great idea, shame I don't know anything (spot the Philosophy graduate!)

> I never fully went back to it, due to fear of getting sick

Does running long distance increase the chance of getting sick?

Me too, actually. Still need to get my family off Whatsapp though...

Might buy a second copy. Can always give it away.

They elected a Jewish leader, so not that anti-Jew.

I used to be fat, currently I'm not. A lot of people who hadn't seen me in a while congratulated me. After that I haven't noticed much difference TBH.

If self-determination means an enthnostate then no people has that right. If every ethnic group had its own state in which it was guaranteed supremacy, the world would be a complete mess. It doesn't work. We are seeing in Israel/Palestine a thoroughly worked out example of why it doesn't work, and what the consequences are when you try to make it work.
