I cannot give you advice in this situation, but I do know you’ll do the right thing.

I always believed in you.

Where can I buy ebooks that will actually be mine for life?

I’m looking to change my reading and buying habits away from Amazon and need an alternate source for my ebooks. Where can I buy ebooks that won’t expire or have their licence revoked and will allow me to download a copy of that ebook I can store on my own system regardless of the websites status?

I’ve tried 5× to get it to work and not been able to…I’m even somewhat good with following instructions!

Significantly more than I have now

Thanks for your opinion, hard to make a decision to spend money if you’re stuck in a positive review echo chamber.

Return to hobbit.

Sorry for being insensitive to people with dwarfism.

Or sadly if they’re even still alive. Time comes for us all eventually.

And some Canadians held pro-Trump marches during the last American elections…we also have idiots, no country is immune from having dumb people.

Agree to disagree, I likely have a sleep disorder, so I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in nearly 10 years! Check, and, mate! Fuck I hate my life…

My wife and I make a decent income between the two of us, and we nearly froze to death winter before last! £500pcm+ to keep our house at like 10°C, absolute madness.

I’m from Vancouver, Canada, so everything seemed so cheap when I moved to the UK…except natural gas and electricity. Like I held the lease and had all the utils in my name for a house when I lived in Canada, 14 people, all gamers. And the bills in winter were less than half what my wife and I were paying this past winter.

Single glazed everything, shoddy extension that’s falling to bits, and no insulation anywhere, 12ft ceilings and also our boiler is shit. It’s a two bedroom Victorian terrace, ground floor. Fighting with Edinburgh Council to get approval for a much needed renovation, but even though the category of listing our home is literally only covers the front facade, our really quite modest renovation plan would “be a detriment to the character of the neighbourhood”. Our upstairs neighbour also paid significantly less that winter…but they got approval to rip all their floors up and install insulation and double glazed windows.

Just Edinburgh planning are fickle. We got someone on the wrong day, and they decided, fuck these guys in particular. They are notorious for things like stringing an application along for 5 years for no good reason. We’re requesting a formal rejection, a decision was supposed to have been made in January, so we can take it to appeals. Thankfully since we’re in a listed building the appeal goes directly to the office of a minister and not back to Edinburgh Council planning.

Shame I’m married then

@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, and there’s a fair amount of money behind this push…which like…I’m not American, don’t live in the States, but my sister and her wife do…and I’ve gotta figure out how to get them the fuck out if things go Trump again…

Edit: also, living in the UK I run into loads of people who go “Well, if Trump gets in again, that’s not really our problem…” but like…the USA makes they’re problems everyone’s problem. And another Trump presidential term would be a huge problem for the rest of the world…

As seen with all the decisions made by the Tories over the last decade.

Finding the worst people to run the country is not a competition.

I’m only here on a marriage visa, I’m not a P.R or citizen yet, so I’m not allowed to vote against having these bigots and con-men in power. Also, while labour is somewhat moderate, the Tories are in power, and they’re a bunch of fucking nut jobs. Labour can’t decide what they stand for anymore, which means they will stand for nothing, and the rest of the available parties will never get to power again. The available options are shit, just like in the States. And the Yanks think they invented having a shit government, but lemme tell you, the Brits have been fucking up their own government and foreign governments for a lot longer the the US has been a thing.

you and the Iroquois

Yeah, I’m Canadian buddy.

Edit: I’m not disagreeing with anything you said, just to tired to formulate a proper response, might come back to this tomorrow.

Glad I’m not the only one who gets a good giggle from that skit.

HA! Slick, hope it gets some laughs!

No, they got it right the first time

You really gotta look at their actions. What they say they want and what they show us they want are clearly two different things.

I think it might actually increase the value. Not everyone can say the have a modern monarch interred under the sofa!
