King Kitt 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇾🇪

Oh fuck yeah going to see primus

Omg same

I am so fucking jealous but I simply can't justify taking more leave, spending more money, and travelling again this month for wrestling.

Oh no it's starting

As a former crusty I think the main reason we don't have that is simply that the smell gets interesting when you concentrate too many in one place for too long.

It's got some very trustafarian vibes going on. All the woo shit and trappings of being alternative whilst being staunchly Tory and once you start seeing it you keep seeing it.

I like a few places in Totnes a lot but I've definitely had to bite my tongue on occasion

Oh god I'm going to have to revise my opinions on Totnes again. Sounds a top night though.

Kitt standing with pro wrestler Harley Cameron at the Meet and Greet after Eve. She's wearing an Eve blcksmth tracksuit and looking a million dollars. He's wearing an absolute mess of a fit and looking about 23 cents.

Kitt and Willow Nightingale are discussing the importance of Smiling Anyway. Kitt is standing on one side of the table and has stupidly put his hoodie in shot in front of Willow's title belts. Willow is wearing the blcksmth EVE jacket and beaming.

Willow is enthusiastically signing the back of Kitt's jacket. Kitt has his head bowed and is making sure his hair is out of the way. You can't see his face, which is probably for the best.

Kitt and Willow Nightingale leaning into each other over a table with her title belts and his damn hoodie on it. Willow is making peace signs and grinning ear to ear. Kitt looks like he's holding on to that table for dear life, because he is.

Again, happier than a pig in shit.

Openly wept like a baby when Nyla Rose came out earlier and the total strangers around me asked if I was ok.

I'm sorry I'm just so glad they booked her today. It's important I think #wrestlesky #prpwrestlingeve

Mhmm. He's a lovely guy just needed his head to be given a good wobble

I was so grateful when Mr Pet came with me to help my cousin out when I was concerned her husband was reverting to idiot mode after they had the baby. Something about another man coming into their house and picking up his slack put his nose out of joint and he magically stepped up after that.

Today I'll be celebrating international women's day at Pro Wrestling: EVE's biggest ever Wrestle Queendom show and I could not be more delighted with this particular decision.

I'm actually in London at the moment. We went to 123V Browns, I'd definitely recommend it if you're up here but you do need to book in advance

We also asked them if they could give us some avocado for the baby and pretty sure they cut up half of one for him so he was delighted with that, too.

Went for bottomless sushi today with my cousin.

£36 each. Ate £130 worth between us. Job done.

I'm a 30-something year old hater of everything and the fourth plinth's casts of the faces of my trans and non binary siblings makes my heart sing, can't imagine how nice it is for people less jaded.

10k steps before 10am suck it I love cutting about London by myself

You've just nailed why he falls flat for me. I worked in pubs like that. My regulars were guys like that. I am so used to guys like that being all bark no trousers or a danger to themselves and each other and just an irritant to everyone else that I'm just like "try not to break my glassware thanks"

Imagine being so bad at your job that the guy who’s even worse at his job has to be the one that fires you.

god i really hope america and israel don't start ww3 before arsenal win the league and spurs get relegated at the same time

Aye. I feel like I barely have time for the shit i like, why in the buggery do I want to waste any effort at all on shit that I don't

I've taken to blocking any content creator who so much as vaguely annoys me/makes me cringe even once. I'd recommend it to anyone as it's a much better online experience

I am going to ask them to sign my jacket and then I am going to stitch over it because I am a Cool Guy.

iTunes library, yeah. In hindsight I appreciate how silly it was to use such a locked in system for this. But I also love my iPod so.

Yeah, gonna. Just need to figure out how to ensure i can still play my silly little games and listen to the library of music I've been building for 20+ years now.

Fucks sake as much as the plan was always to switch to Linux (or just not windows) eventually I thought I had more time.

The Conservatives are, after all, well placed to know a lot about this morass, since they introduced it. In 2012, the coalition government launched the Plan 2 system of student loans and raised university fees across Britain to £9,000 per annum. To put Plan 2 in simple terms, loan repayments were laid out via a seemingly innocuous series of calculations. The first to consider is the threshold at which repayments begin. If you left education with, say, £27,000 worth of debt, you would only start paying it back once you met a predetermined salary. On its face, this might not seem like a particularly onerous demand. “Low-earning” graduates would avoid being saddled with repayments before they were financially able to begin making them, while their “high earning” peers could start chipping away at their debt, and provide an income stream for the state.

As any of my fellow literature or history graduates will tell you, however, the devil is in the details. For one thing, the threshold at which someone becomes a high earner was never particularly high and, following years of inflation, is now preposterously low. Rachel Reeves’ announcement that the government are freezing the threshold at April 2026 levels (£29,385) for a further three years only makes this worse. The real living wage for London is currently calculated at £28,860, which means that any London-based graduate making just £40 more per month than the minimum needed to live there will automatically begin paying their debt. In real terms, this means practically any graduate in any form of full-time work will be paying as much as 9 per cent of their income to the state, and for a very, very long time. Worse still, the amount owed by those graduates below the threshold does not remain static – it accrues interest, year on year, whether you’re working for low wages, volunteering, taking a career break or on maternity leave, ensuring that if you do pass the threshold some time later, you will be returning to find your original £27,000 much enlarged.

If the state’s attitude to what constitutes “high earnings” makes you think it’s oblivious to the concept of inflation, let me put your mind at ease. When it comes to the calculation of student loan interest, they are very conscious of inflation indeed. Each year, the interest charged on student loans is calculated by two components. The first is the Retail Price Index (RPI), which generally records a higher number than the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Governments prefer the latter, lower figure for many of their other calculations, just not when it comes to adding extra debt to every graduate in the country. To this is added a second component, a percentage tied to each graduate’s earnings, meaning that as your salary increases so too does the interest you’re paying on the loan you took out. If you think this seems like a predatory and punitive way to bilk students for as much money, and over as long a period of time, as possible, then you’re just about up to speed on this scandal, which amounts to a regressive stealth tax on every graduate in the UK. One which, it’s calculated, you would need to be earning £66,000 per year to pay off in anything like a timely fashion.

The debt burden of UK students is one of those things where, the more you look into the details, the more insane and predatory it is. So I tried my best to explain the numbers involved without making my, or your, head explode.

Cool my choices are Baldurs Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Divinity: Original Sin 2, The complete Sims 2, and Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Questions:

I appreciate no internet but can i access games already purchased on steam assuming that they do not require a connection?

Am i limited to just one platform or can i mix and match?

Just found out our horse is Australian so note that down
