Thanks Emporor, great shout actually as I feel reassured that I'm mostly spending in the EU by shopping own brands in Lidl.

Germany seem to have a good reputation for quality cat food albeit at quite high price. I just need to suck it up and take the hit for the cause

You're right. Clearly RT has more direct collusion with its government, I just get uncomfortable with people holding BBC up higher than any media

  • be = been.

Does that make more sense now? I know alot of people put value on food but I've always seen it as fuel, put whatever I can as quickly into me as I can such that I have the energy to complete the jobs in front of me.

Losing 3hrs of work time for the sake of something tasting better is madness to me and I'd not be able to enjoy the process knowing it meant the list of jobs was growing

My nemesis! I get to be John Smith on the next splinter site - deal?! :)

Fair. I'm just trying to be alert to who controls the media I consume. Too many people in the UK blindly trust BBC and then criticise Russians for listening to what their government tell them

Because it's an EU repository. I respect them for being at least clear about it.

I found it weasely that the equivalent sub to this one on reddit was called something like "buyfromEU" and just tagged on that they meant EU as in Europe, not like the trading block synonymous with those letters lol

I'm from the UK and would agree with you. Now is not the time to be consuming content from any government media

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Nope, I don't enjoy food enough to justify that sort of investment in time. I've be schlepping in the garden all weekend

While small, they also contributed to Trump's grift which is why you'll see alot of people suggesting alternatives for it

Edit: directed at Op, not the person I'm replying to as they're clearly zoned in already

Amazon? Yeah me too bar a 6 month moment of weakness back in covid. I felt dirty so nuked the account. It really is all about making consumption harder

Just as well as this sure as hell isn't a buying opportunity, some indexes are only at 6 month lows. We've barely begun loses wise - 12% off all time highs on the S&P if I recall right, 50% is realistic in my mind
