That sounds rough. I suppose that's another "joy" of being self-employed - instead of having to kiss your boss' arse to hold on to your livelihood, you have to kiss EVERYONE'S arse.

When money’s involved everyone always has something to say I notice...

I haven't read the entire Unabomber's Manifesto yet but judging by the portions I have read, he was quite wise and ahead of his time.

@koshka Certainly, I've found the Manifesto to be very thought-provoking, and relevant decades on.

These are really interesting pages, I hope you write more!

I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying them nenko, I am too and there is plenty more to come!

From my perspective, nothing on here is even particularly controversial. It's infuriating how hard it is to have a rational discussion about anything in this day and age. Normies are so afraid of being contradicted about anything that they treat any disagreement, regardless of how minute, as a declaration of war against their belief system.

@Koshka you're wrong, shut up idiot

@StrangeCrust I love you too!

LOL you guys! @koshka Thanks for sharing your perspective; it still surprises me how ingrained an official narrative can be and how rigidly people side with it at times.

This brought back memories of how the toaster my family owned when I was a child had a rather strong ejection mechanism, which I used to launch toast-shaped objects into the air.

@saint-images That's how toasters should be! This one though had a simple button that lately had become temperamental, I'm surprised it managed to eject the partially toasted toast, as it did, in its last whimper.
