  • I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

    He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

    This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

    Noped right out of there and bought German.



  • If you stop trying to vocalise the words in your head you can really break away from the the time limit and just fly through text.

    This is what I do when I’m reading academic papers for writing reports to see if the content is what I need.

    Takes a few seconds to scan it, take the understanding and made a decision on if it’s worthwhile or not.

    There’s also websites where you can drop text and it will train you to read this way.









  • I’m 37 and already broken.

    My back is killing me, the sciatica makes sitting down hard. My ankle is fucked from too many injuries doing shit like tough mudder because when you’re young you’re invincible. Top that off with an immune disorder and asthma and it’ll be a miracle if I make it to 50 with a good quality of life.



  • Me too, I’ll engage for around 15-30 minutes then go and do some writing rather than spend 4 hours doom scrolling.

    I’ve legit got so much work done it staggers the mind.

    I stopped using Reddit completely on July first, and in that time I’ve got a reflective log completed and submitted, a report on disruptive fintech completed a week early and submitted and now a mini dissertation completed 2 weeks early.

    It’s almost as if spending my time doing coursework is better than freaking out trying to finish it and submit to turnitin 30 seconds before the deadline while praying the connection doesn’t fail.

    Anyway…
