  • It’s all good. As far as I’ve seen kbin(.earth, the instance I use) has gone offline a few times recently due to cloudflare shitting the bed. Other than that, I am not well informed about the fediverse. Still learning. After a quick search, it looks like I created a mbin account that I use with kbin? Dunno. I may have made it unintentionally messy for myself.

    Ah well. :))







  • he’s from Glasgow, however almost all Scottish people, if they depend on depend speaking to make a living, change their accent a bit and we tend to speak more slowly. to me, he sounds quite mild and proper. still Scottish, i can tell he’s from Glasgow ish but his accent isn’t strong. also, he’s speaking slowly. Our accents vary a lot here. I grew up 35 miles from Glasgow but people there couldn’t understand me a lot of the time when I spoke.





  • When I was 19 - 21 I sold drugs in the club scene. Early 90s. I did it Thursday - Sunday. I made £1k per week minimum.

    It was not fun but … I couldn’t make surviving money with the shitty jobs I had (I’d been working since I was 15) and this was easy. It was 90s clubs, they practically sold themselves.

    Decent money but lots of stress.

    The US. I’m Scottish, 56 years old. I’ve been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.

    I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.

    I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump’s first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can’t stomach racism or any of the hate shit.

    Seeing what’s happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.
