We moved from London to Edinburgh mid 2022. We uhhhh…have a lot of shit… Turned out cheaper to rent a small Luton van and just do multiple trips ourselves. Rental and fuel came to just under £900, hiring movers was going to be £2200 for the cheapest quote we got. I did 6 roundtrips in 5 days. It was brutal.
Sorry about your dad mate. My wife’s dad is in a slow decline, dementia, and both my parents are in quite poor health. It’s tough, especially when they’re not close by.

Yeah, the slowest part of my last camping trip back home was getting out of Vancouver, and then the bit at the end up an old logging road.

I mean, in a way it is. But sometimes 3.5hrs doesn’t even get you from London’s ring road in the east straight through to the west side of the ring road. Bit different if you’re able to do 70mph(or the Canadian limit of 110kmph, so like…68ish?) the whole time.

Yeah, if I was living in one and working in the other then I’d fly or take the train obviously. No way I’m doing that drive daily, that’s insane. But for a few days trip, no sweat.

Economy of scale is way different. The entirety of the UK fits into British Columbia almost 4 times… https://www.comparea.org/GBR+CA_BC
I’d happily leave work at noon on Friday, get to my camp site at 8 or 9pm. Do camping stuff Saturday, wake up hung over Sunday and be home for 8 or 9pm and be fine for Monday morning. Works better if you’ve got someone to switch out driving every few hours.

Places like australia and the us really cant understand what having almost all a nation within daily travel distance of a single city means.

Moving to the UK from Canada was a trip. People at work losing their mind when I say my wife and I are driving to Edinburgh from London in a oner, meanwhile the time/distance from my perspective is a reasonable expectation for a weekend camping trip.

Fuck you for reminding me what day it is… that’s enough internet for me thanks

For the lazy

What’s true is that women’s health and anatomy takes a back seat to how to keep men’s dicks hard. I say this as a cis het man. It’s shameful.

A lot of the recent data about the nerves of the clitoris are from donated tissue from trans men who got theirs removed during bottom surgery

So a lot of the data is from clits that were removed from men? I jest. That’s actually pretty interesting, and while I take your point about nerve density and complexity, my point at the top stands.

It’s cause the clitoris isn’t attached to a man.

Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.

Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that’s properly researched and more aligned with the person
