How secondhand clothes shopping turned very sour Apps like Depop and Vinted are hugely popular, but an online culture of scams, rage and suspicion is now the default between buyers and sellers, with communications quickly descending into hurling abuse at a strangerHere is a real-life conversation on a secondhand shopping app: a buyer of two items asks if a seller could combine postage costs. The petulant seller refuses. After a grating plea from the buyer, the seller retorts, “Fine, I’ll refund you, but I’m doing it my way.” Eventually, the buyer receives a large piece of card with a load of grubby coppers stuck to it with Sellotape. On the back it says, “Enjoy the refund!”And there’s nothing odd about this – these sorts of exchanges between Brits on marketplace apps are so commonplace they have become part of the texture of the shopping experience. Maybe even part of the fun. But why do we communicate like this? What is happening that we can’t be remotely polite and normal? Where have our famous manners gone?

Emma Cook meets the neurologists attempting to solve one of medicine’s most enduring issues and what it means for patients – and hears from a woman who has never felt painDeep in the basement of Oxford’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering, I am sitting in a pain laboratory trying to describe a series of small but exquisitely sharp electrical shocks emanating from an electrode attached to my index finger. It is proving to be something of a challenge. “Yeah, no, that’s really, er, unpleasant,” I offer, inarticulately, as the electric shocks slowly ramp up, their intensity putting me in mind of an excruciating jellyfish sting last summer.“Ow, that really hurts,” I manage. Up goes the volume. “And this?” Language escapes me and I emit a small reflexive cry instead. Dr Ben Seymour, a professor of clinical neuroscience and honorary consultant neurologist at Oxford University who has designed these tests, looks rather pleased. We are working our way briskly through a varied menu of different aches and pains, some heated, some chilled. The electric shock to the finger is the equivalent of an injury signal, a short sharp warning pain to alert us to danger. “It’s the ‘ow’ one,” explains Seymour. “I call it the wasp as it has a kind of angriness to it.” Continue reading... ... 22.12.2024 5:06Boxe : imprenable, Usyk maîtrise encore Fury et conserve ses ceintures mondiales des lourds L’Ukrainien Oleksandr Usyk a de nouveau battu le Britannique Tyson Fury samedi à Ryad (Arabie saoudite), sept mois après sa première victoire.22.12.2024 5:09Oleksandr Usyk wins heavyweight rematch to silence Tyson Fury in Riyadh Ukrainian wins 116-112 on all three scorecardsBriton shakes his head and leaves ring speechlessOleksandr Usyk remains the shining king of boxing’s dark and chaotic world. The great Ukrainian retained his three titles as the heavyweight champion of the world when he defeated Tyson Fury on points in a defining contest in the early hours of Sunday morning in Riyadh. Usyk boxed with clinical authority to win clearly by a score of 116-112 on all three cards.The pace was unrelenting and, ultimately, Usyk was just too fast, too smart and too skilled for Fury. His movement, accuracy and precision of punching were exemplary. Fury fought brilliantly at times but he could not sustain any real pitch of intensity. He began to flag at key moments of the bout as Usyk pulled away to secure his comprehensive victory.
