Now there are a lot of reasons why I'm worried. However I also know I am an anxious person, with a habit for catastrophising, and this is a very big change. At the same time, I have a real issue with not listening when my body is trying to tell me something.

What techniques do you guys differentiate between 'real' feelings, and those coming from anxiety/ADHD?

I have a pair of Eddifer speakers I use with my record player that work nicely. However connecting my phone to them to play Spotify is a minor annoyance I'd like to improve. Ideally I'd like a cheap device (Bluetooth or wired) that I can leave with the speakers, that I can control with Spotify Connect. My first thought was an old Android phone I had, but I think the phone's too old. It's slow, and not usually available on Spotify without poking, which is what I want to avoid. Good sound quality would be nice, but is less important to me rn than being cheap, and reliable.

​

Looking online for devices, they seem crazy expensive. I've been the Atonemo Streamplayer, or a Wiim mini recommended, but do I really need to spend like £100 for what I'm after? I feel like an old laptop or raspberry pi might get the job done better than the phone, but still feels like massive overkill. Is there a more like £30 device I could buy, that would work? Thanks!

Edit: sorry to be clear, the speakers have Bluetooth themselves, but I don't want to have to connect my phone to them, id like a device with it's own Spotify client, that I can control via connect.

Esoteric bullshit aside. My understanding is the group is largely a business/networking group. You own a building company, I own a plumbing company, let's give eachother a good deal type thing.

I was talking with a friend the other day, and she asked me this as a hypothetical, and it gave me pause. On the one hand, it's a group for those with capital to scratch each other's backs, but on the other, is it not essentially a community mutual aid group? I don't like that it's being done largely in self interest (I believe?), and this it seems to be very exclusionary, but should we support behaviours we like in groups we don't?

Edit: how about the Lions club, for a more ethically aligned group? It's a charity fundraising group, for the capitalist class.
