Is any amount of money 'too much' or is everyone entitled to what they earn?
I see a lot of convos about billionaires and millionaires and donating to charity and things like that online and I think it's really important to think about what money actually means, especially given that having little-no money can literally be a killer. What are everyone's thoughts?

Re: Worrying about throwing up
Hi @Kate_20
You're absolutely not a disgusting person at all, it is actually quite common for people to have anxiety surrounding being sick so is definitely not something you are alone in experiencing. That being said I can understand how this can be quite distressing.
I wonder if you have spoken to your GP about this? I'm sure they would have some really good advice or remedies for nausea and even some relaxation techniques for anxiety too.
In the mean time, I would really recommend trying out some relaxation/ breathing techniques when you notice this sense of anxiety coming on. Have you heard of box breathing? It's effectively breathing in for 4 seconds, holding it for 4, breathing out for another 4 seconds and holding it for 4 again.
Google can probably explain it a lot better if you try looking it up (obviously avoid this if you find it makes you feel more sick, and maybe try something more mindful/ relaxing instead like a bit of yoga maybe)!!
Hope this helps and that you're doing alright

Re: International Womens Day - Who inspires you?
This is a great idea! Personally, I am inspired by a YouTuber and TikTok creator called themadivlog she is a massive advocate for mental health through social media and makes awareness videos. This is something I want to do as I grow up.
Re: Are there more wheels or doors in the world?
Ahh I've seen this on tik Tok originally I was wheels then I saw someone saw what about all kitchen cabinet doors/ wardrobe so then I was doors, now i'm finally back to wheels lol. Just think about all the wheels on the bottom of chairs and in mechanisms and things like that. I'll probably keep changing my mind though lol
Re: Are there more wheels or doors in the world?
This is really hard, there are so many different types of doors and uses for them as well such as in houses, on cars and other buildings. However, there is also a lot of wheels on vehicles and other daily objects. I might need to dwell this and then give my vote later.
Re: Chips (thick cut) or Fries (thin cut)
Love me some thick cut chips personally because fries are gone too quickly there's not enough to them.
Re: Concern over LFTs and PCRs
im looking forward to the end of the pandemic.
Covid is now endemic. I don't think you'll have to wait long for the WHO to declare the pandemic over. That's doesn't mean SARS-cov-2 is going away. It's not. We'll have to live with it.
