Didn't know we did this

See you there!

Couldn't be prouder of our nation right now

This is a momentous day

Just... everywhere.

That noise outside? You bet your arse it's a fox.

That feeling at the back of your neck? A garden spider has definitely set up camp.

e.g. ETagLoc is an electronic padlock company and has nothing to do with toothpaste

Is there a UK focussed community for running? I had a look, and I couldn't find any.

Toblerone, chocolate orange AND quality street

Anyone feel like rioting?

Phone looked like it was about to explode

Please know that when I say chav, I'm not saying it in a derogatory way, I mean it in the same way I mean "goth", "punk", etc and I come from both the same background and same town as them. The nicest interactions I've ever had with strangers all involved people you'd "chavs". When I was in school one of them defended me from bullies, and after that, whenever we crossed paths in the hallway he'd yell "saaafe man!" while reaching out to fist bump me.

Another one a few years ago involved me having my bike lock quite literally crumble as I tried to turn the key to unlock it, so I had my bike stuck locked to a pole. Two men who you'd likely call chavs approached out of nowhere and tried to free my bike, one of them ran all the way home to get cable cutters. 3ish years ago I was feeling pretty down and I think it showed since two men, again who you'd likely call chavs based on their look and how they talked, asked me if I was alright and told me to follow them if I wanted to chat so I did. They were so kind to me and I walked away feeling a lot better.

But I'm supposed to believe these people are "dangerous"? I don't buy that. Where'd that idea come from? Anyone have experiences similar to mine?

Link here. I remember getting up at 3am when I was a kid to see one. It was cool.

wondering if I fit into any subculture since I have some American friends who are around my age and they know which subculture they belong to, and typically hang out with other people of their subculture, so I feel like an odd one out being a sort of chameleon, but the one who doesn't have a tribe. I like drawing weird art, like colourful monsters that are Mario inspired. I’m also into emulation, PC gaming + hardware, tattoo design, 3D modelling and making mods for games. I’m a tomboy and never wear makeup. Dry sense of humour. Fashion, my wardrobe consists of tracksuits and trainers, sometimes a cap or fabric coats with a plaid pattern on them. I’ll sometimes wear gold jewellery like bracelets. I don’t do anything with my hair besides keeping it neck length and curly. I’m a big fan of music and that consists of UK garage (Todd Edwards and Klaus Veen are my favourites), deep house and DnB. I’d love to go to music festivals and just go completely wild but I don't have any friends who are into this stuff and sometimes when I'm talking with my friends I can't relate much lol

TL;DR The friends I have are a lot different to me and they know what subculture they belong in, so most of their friends are like that too. I’m just curious and wondering what mine is if any so I can better find more people like me?

Dedicated hanging wall?

Drawer full of compartments sorted by function?

Big ole bag of cables covered in wotsits?

Edit: Okay I was looking for ideas, but you guys are all shambles.

• < 3m cables: I wrap them into a neat circle and put them in several cardboard boxes sorted by function/extension (e.g. USB-A, USB-C, Power+Kettle).
  • 1 extra box for miscellaneous types (e.g. a USB-C to USB-A would go in there)
  • All the boxes go into a single drawer.
• For long cables: I wrap them into large neat circles and then they all go into the same tote bag hanging under the stairs

It's August ffs AUGUST!!!

Truly he touched us all
