Ticket prices in the UK are an absolute ripoff
Foo fighters next year, £320 for 200 level seats at the back of the arena and it's basically sold out
Same tour in Sweden, £120 front of stage and loads of tickets available.
It's cheaper to fly to Sweden for the show than go to Liverpool

YouTube is doing their part to get my screen time down.
Their ad policy had made the service all but unusable. The number and frequency of ads, and how many are unskippable is ridiculous.

I got to thinking about how some people don't have an internal monologue, or can't visualise mental images and now I'm wondering if some people don't have to consciously decide social cues on the fly.

A three day weekend with the sun out has me wondering why can't this be the norm.
With a two day weekend work is already hanging over you by Saturday evening.
Three days however, that's almost bearable
It's long enough to stop thinking about work and to actually feel like you've unplugged
