realising. It's probably because the books haven't been displayed/organised properly for ages so I didn't know that I had it already. Plus, almost every book published in the past 10 years seems to have a generic book cover and they no longer stand out from each other. When charity shops are open again, I'm going to have a clear out of things I don't want any more, duplicates, etc, etc, etc...

Small Favor is still missing in action, though...

However, all the Tolkien books are staying.

I'd really to know what doctors expect you to do when normal food messes up with your blood sugars. Starve? Get morbidly obese by lard, fried chicken and kebabs?

Discord is a proprietary spyware program. I highly recommend using IRC as an alternative instead. https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html

I don't have it installed. I did once, but found it told people when I was online, and what games I was playing, which freaked me out. I don't like people knowing what I am doing. It's none of their business. I don't like their audio message feature, either, but some forums use it for sending messages instead of using the forum for such things. Personally, I wish everything was done via the forum alone.

I agree with your sentiments and wish that more people shared them. It's disturbing how little people care about privacy anymore. Big technology is the equivalent of a peeping tom hiding in someone's bushes and reporting on everything they say and do.

I think people like it because it's convenient and trendy, and gives the impression that they are being sociable by sharing everything they do. Sites like Facebook seem to have replaced traditional socialising for some people. (Though introverted people are probably also attracted to it because they find it difficult to socialise in person, especially if they are in large groups. But you still have to be careful.

the doors and the woodchip wallpaper. That needs to be sorted before anything can be done properly. Shelves need putting up in a cupboard for it to be really useable.) It's an annoyance that I can find what I want a lot of the time.

I’m sorry... people are every harsh and judgmental. I spent a lot of time lying down the first year or two after my knee injury, I walk more now and it’s good for arthritis! But you have to take things easy, nice and slow, and always listen to your body. Pain is a message.

The problem I find is that a lot of health professionals assume that there are certain medical conditions are caused by being over-weight. Excess weight doesn't help the condition but it's not necessarily the cause of the condition - sometimes the condition causes the weight gain. They also don't live with the condition so they don't know how everything about how it effects you.

The vast majority of people only have "empathy" for people exactly like them. As an autistic person, I've had a first-hand view of that. People refuse to believe that others can be disturbed by or have difficulty with things that they don't, and start finding ulterior motives to explain behaviour.
