It is, don’t fret.I must be completely dense because I have absolutely no clue and tbh I'm now feeling very very paranoid about all this and what people's intentions are here. Very uncomfortable as I haven't been here long but was starting to see it as a safe space.
That's the nature of the internet, the feeling that you are in someone's front room with your friends, but in reality you are at a public meeting surrounded by people you don't know.It’s all very unsettling— I felt like we were a tight knit community dedicated to pointing out utter ludicrousness, with side action on seeds, songs, recipes, general hilarity and cross-community support.
fearing that there is an actual viper in the nest is utterly horrible
It is a safe place. But also this is still the Internet, anything you post can be read by literally anyone. It’s always good to have that in the back of your mind before posting something that you wouldn’t want everyone to know about.I must be completely dense because I have absolutely no clue and tbh I'm now feeling very very paranoid about all this and what people's intentions are here.

I'm an open book, as I have nothing to hide but I feel I'm pretty savvy online as I work in the fraud department for a bank so have become paranoid as hell about online disclosure etc. I have shared a little on here so far but not too much, it's that balance isn't it of wanting to connect with people but remaining on guard as well. I enjoy it here I really hope whoever this is they make a swift exit.It is a safe place. But also this is still the Internet, anything you post can be read by literally anyone.

Same babe. Totally rely on links, I've tried Twitter, don't understand it. I've even had to ask what a blue tick means - apparently it means you are important and therefore worthy of a response.I think this thread shows the clear divide between those of us who use Twitter, and those of us who have no clue how it works and only engage via screenshots on here!
I mean, sometimes I go on and I click on the tweet and can see loads of answers and sometimes only one and sometimes there’s a line down the screen connecting them and sometimes it’s in a box..... I was relying on you guys to tell me anything juicy! Does this mean I have to actually work Twitter out for myself??
FUCKING HELL!!
If I knew how to do a GIF I’d be posting the Alison Steadman “Drama Mick” one right now.
Definitely - real life can be like this but on the Internet it’s possible to be anyone and use that persona to achieve anything. It’s scary and has prevented me from joining online support groups (as there are no irl ones in my area) because the thought of being vulnerable to someone faking something, using it to exploit others for sympathy/financial gain/as a fetish, gleaning information as a predator, etc etc etc is just too much. While I think this thread and Tattle as a whole is a lovely place, I also believe it’s important not to become too invested and to keep your wits about youThat's the nature of the internet, the feeling that you are in someone's front room with your friends, but in reality you are at a public meeting surrounded by people you don't know.
That (other) man !Miguels new book is all about store cupboard cooking
Really cute cat, not as cute as my cat, but seems like less of a cunt.I've just gone on her Twitter to try and figure out what on earth is happening but instead I've once again fallen in love with her cat
Love Pamalam!https://giphy.com/ypM0HxwvuJ9rW
OMG!! Thanks!! The didn’t have my one but I have found this!
Probably less of one than mine too, little shite tricked me with his stomach earlier I always fall for it and end up with a claw in my fingerReally cute cat, not as cute as my cat, but seems like less of a cunt.
To be fair, Mumsnet's interface is aggressively bad. It's hard to think of a less user-friendly forum!On a total aside, this is a really good forum in terms of functionality. It’s spoiling me. I keep going to Mumsnet and clicking on a thread and expecting to be taken to where I last read to.
I mentioned on another thread I really enjoyed Miguel's vegetarian book. I reckon his tin can one will be good. Without being doomsday about the whole thing, I do worry once Brexit really hits next year there will be food supply issues and we will be eating a lot of tinned stuff. Although should that happen my kids (and if I'm honest me too) will happily eat beans on toast for weeks on end and the need for a special cookbook on it may not be there.
I was just thinking about this advert!!!!! (sorry, I'm about 15 pages behind, just Grunkalung along)It's the 1980s all over again.
