Just use mayonnaise instead of cream.

But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it’s still haunting.

I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s “first name” + “month of birth” + “last two digits of the year of birth”.

@wardyb1 I understand where you are coming from. I would recommend that you read basic economics if you want to study any further, as Thomas So well deals with similar objections and more in his book.
I'll try and answer some more of your follow up questions, but recently I have gone from working 100 minutes a day to 400 so it might be slow.

I'm flattered that you think I am over 30. You are right on the first name though.

Good question. I wonder this myself. This was one of the first computer games I played online, so I hadn't developed a standard nickname. I think it was a lack of creativity without the childishness so I use my first name.

Why 1089? The 1089 times table is particularly cool. (Try writing it out each term below the other and you'll notice a few patterns) I think I had just read a few maths books on interesting maths things too, and that has always been of interest to me.

Thanks for asking. I'm doing well. I feel a sense of fulfillment after doing a lot of revision and learning some new maths.

I've adopted "maths" into my vocabulary and I kind of like it but I don't like feeling self conscious that people might think I'm trying to come off as smart. I like adopting some verbiage from my european friends just like I like adopting evilcheadar's idiosyncrasies and other basement speak. A variation of "we are what we eat" could be "we speak what we read" and I think that's very true. And there's nothing wrong with that if it's not fascist. As a neoliberal, you should be less aggressive against variations in speech from another culture. After all, we literally learn to speak via. imitation. It's at the core of communication.

Would you move to the US if you could through a job offer or whatever? Because many of your views (such as on healthcare) would align well with certain people here tbh ngl.

Not sure it's much better than over here. You guys seem to be on the road to a cultural Revolution as well.
I'd consider it, though I like British culture.

The last time I had an arm wrestle was when I was 14 and I took on a guy in the class who was vain and annoying. I think I was winning but our teacher stopped us.
