Someone that doesn't say hello back when you start your message with hello.

You say, "Goodbye" and I say, "Hello, hello, hello"

Just putting this out there for anyone who thinks depression is a mild mental illness. Try visiting an ECT ward where there are people with Cotard’s syndrome hallucinating hell fire and believing they don’t exist, that the Earth’s been sucked into an existence-sucking vacuum, all-the-while without having eaten for a month. This is what we talk about when we say severe depression. I can’t stress that enough. There’s a difference between ‘mild depression and anxiety x’ that’s at a level where ignorant people believe they can just pull themselves out of it and all the difference shades of serious, endogenous depression that’s moderate to severe. The first type of depression is the type that the general public who have no idea how severe it can be at the other end of the spectrum understand it. That’s almost nothing compared to real depression. Even the next step from mild depression is suicide, and people feeling like they want to out themselves should absolutely be given love and support, but for those who stay alive it doesn’t end there. Likewise, at one end of the depressive-treatment regime-spectrum is citalopram and at the other end is tranylycpromine and ECT. There’s a massive range of types, symptoms and severities and the treatment reflects that.

And I’m never gonna be fully rested on this topic until ignorance about depression is fully squished out. Educate people on the severity of it and not just the fact that talking helps and it’s not just a matter of willpower. So it is worth repeating.

The amount of unnecessary cutaways on Family Guy can be hella annoying, still.

“Yeah, I thought he was black, still; just with one white parent, innit.”

Abeg, black is black and mixed race is mixed race. They are not the same thing at all. When you’re 3/4 black it’s a different story but when you’re exactly 50-50, that’s what you are. A lot of purely white people do it as a subconscious relic from the one-drop rule principle, which is inherently racist. You won’t accept them as your own so of course they have to be black. Same goes for quadroons (and by extension probably even octoroons, people who are only 1/8 black) who look closer to mixed race than black being forced by white people to identify as black. So racist. So inherently, disgustingly racist and white hegemonic. Many more people than you know are mixed with something/have backgrounds that are somewhat or at least a little heterogenous. What they choose to identify as is a very personal, individual thing. Mixed-race people are not inherently black just because the average white person says so. Having a Jamaican great-aunt and a like of plantain doesn’t inherently mean “yeah, you’re basically black”.

Anyway, that one ain’t a little ting.

Tbf, there are some mixed race people out there that do like to identify as black.

To me I just like to try and focus on the person rather than on the colour of their skin, unless it's under a scenario where I have to describe the person's appearance.

Loads of people consider themselves to be black if they have one parent though - their choice I suppose

The end of Lily Allen’s “Interlude”. What’s that about?

[Redway]

When people say things like “7 a.m. in the morning”. What do people think a.m. means?

[Redway]

1. Fish and chips served with tartare sauce. Anything pickle-related can put me off the ting altogether.

2. Nigerian-style fried rice made with hot-dog instead of liver. Still good but I just much-prefer liver. I’m one of those people who actively like liver.

These Specsavers-sponsored adverts constantly doing the audio./eyesight rounds on ITVX at the moment. No-one can be that hard of sight/hearing (well, they can but that’s not the point). So annoying.

[Redway]

Corner-shop businesses popping up out of nowhere taking over local, well-established businesses is another one.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Entitled colleagues. Move from me!

People that sip tea loudly...hush up!

When articles have loads and loads of ads and you can't even read the page properly or prevent yourself from accidentally clicking on an ad!!! And some of them you can't even x out of the way anymore!

Being accused of things and then when you answer back, that person goes hiding away.

Let's just say that experience isn't fun.

[Redway]

Big Brother being on ITVX this year, actually. That doesn’t help with the feeling of it being such a different show these days and not for the better. Haven’t really sat down to get glued up on it yet (just a few episodes here-and-there) but yeah. It’s just odd that it’s on ITVX (a very non-user-friendly app in the first place) now.

You mean like when you’re telling the truth but the person never believes you?

The person just ignores you after accusing you of something that you don't believe yourself to be.

Right.

Happen to you recently, did it?

You could certainly say that.

What about you, have you experienced anything similar recently?

I'm quite chill really, most things wash over me. But some little inconsequential things do irk me somewhat, like when people don't end sentences with full stops. Sometimes emojies are used instead ("even" by me!) but leaving the last sentence just hanging looks horrible.
