I had no idea of this - I just googled it and it's almost exactly like something out of the book.

I really enjoyed Yellowface, it's a great read and a bit of a black comedy in places!

Definitely as a millennial I'm of the last generation that will remember arranging to meet up somewhere in advance and sticking to that plan (or rearranging over landline with more than a day's notice...)

But something I've noticed when I ask people in my team what their dream jobs are the younger people tend to say 'run their own businesses', 'work for themselves' etc. Whereas in our generation (in my circles anyway) that definitely wasn't so prominent. Maybe a side effect of seeing influencers making it big?

In my experience in my specific part of England that holds true - Aldi definitely seems a lot cleaner

Yeah it's a real shame because from what I saw of the Artemis app it looked good as well. I hope the dev is ok.

Kbin definitely needs a decent app. The web app does the job but it can be a bit irritating as you say

So because I play a lot of games and read a lot of eBooks then I would say getting my first tablet was pretty great, even though it was a midrange one that was just thrown in to the deal when I was upgrading my phone and I probably wouldn't have bothered otherwise

It was a Samsung A8 from 2019, had about an 8" screen and I used it mainly as a kindle and games device. The games I play are mainly strategy or board games, but there were certainly some games that you wouldn't necessarily think would cause a problem (Wingspan?) that would lag or crash. Since I review games it helped to have a second device to check things on, and a bigger screen is better.

Last year I upgraded it to a Samsung S8 which is a flagship. It's a 10 or 11 inch screen which felt more unwieldy though I'm used to it now. It can run more things. It's a really nice device. The screen isn't actually OLED but feels like it, the quality is amazing. It actually came with a stylus which was a neat touch. The screen is good enough that yes I have found myself watching more TV on it.

However, when people say 'productivity', I don't know really know what they mean by that tbh. I've got a work laptop for work. I've got my own laptop for other stuff. Do people mean drawing and things on tablets but that?

I've read a lot about the Anglo Saxon period and I'm surprised there's not been some sort of effort to dramatise it before now. (See also, the early history of Scotland.) I guess people are too busy thinking about the Roman Empire x times a day.

It looks like a shady dealer in an orange hoodie.

Top Artist - The Beatles (I relistened to their remaster of Revolver a lot this year, it's really very good!)

Top Song - 'Give It Up' by Public Enemy

Reminded me of this Big Train sketch

What if this is the afterlife of a religion we don't know about from our previous existence?

I don't think you can have a rational reply to your question - it's all head canon

The worst thing to do would be an inorganic botch job on here to fill a gap when there's no need, you can read that content elsewhere.

Anyway, it's not an automatic guarantee of engagement or interaction. It's purely a hack move.

I'm happy to use Reddit if I feel I can't find anything to read on Kbin. You are allowed to use both you know?
