I don’t feel comfortable sharing any personal opinions at work. The workplace is somewhere one should arrive, work, go home, not somewhere to share opinions and in doing so make potential enemies or risk your position.

Why do I care if my colleagues know my opinion on X or Y? It changes nothing about my life or theirs, we’re not even friends, just colleagues, or work friends at best.

Anyway yeah, that’s just my thoughts :-)

He’s a modern day Nazi leader, what do you expect him to say?

Yes mate! I checked mate, you’re right mate!

Yaaaayyyy capitalism!

They wanna ruin AI like they ruined their Chocolate after they got bought out by that shite company Kraft?

Cadburys tastes like crap now the same way American chocolate does, such a bloody shame too :-(

WhatsApp? The instant messenger boomers use on their phones?

Damn, who saw that coming.

Gosh you’re right, I’m so special and kind and humble, I deserve to be recognised for how extremely humble I am ♥️

In seriousness, I have good days and bad days, sometimes I’m grumpy or pretty my anger about a bag thing happening to people get the better of me and go into my words, but I do care about everyone, I do want a better world and an end to bigotry, fascism, racism, techno-feudalism, late stage capitalism, and if I could own my own house this lifetime that’d be great too, for my family’s sake…

I’m just so angry at the state of things, so disenfranchised, so fed up, and places like this are where I actually see all of the articles and posts about this awful stuff, not to mention actually running in to bootlickers and scummy people. It’s hard not to get grumpy and angry while I’m here :-(

I might take a break from this stuff next year, I’m not sure yet. Staying informed feels important, but at the same time feels futile and damaging to my mental health, so I might just let myself be ignorant for a while, you know?

Anyway, thanks for the kind words :-)

Uh, what?

What makes you think Christmas is for kids? Just because they enjoy it? Shall we ban movies, video games, etc for adults too?

I’ve never heard someone suggest that adults shouldn’t enjoy their hard earned holidays, and spread joy with gifts and such to each other, because they’re no longer 12 or whatever.

What makes you think my and my family and friends enjoyment of Christmas is less important than slightly reducing how much money some shop might make for a few weeks?

I’ll keep enjoying the small joys of life, thanks. Kids can sod off.

I’m sure it’ll be back up soon don’t worry :-)

Really? That doesn’t look like a UK manhole cover, where abouts is it?

Fuck Funko and fuck their shitty CEO.

Not worth thinking about any further. I wish itch.io the best in their lawsuit.

Instead of some crappy website like Forbes, why not get all the information directly from the source.

The summary at the top is the only part that needs reading, though the rest is informative too.

Basically, they don’t know what it is yet, though given the malnourished, somewhat cut off, poor region with spotty healthcare at best, this could be one or multiple illnesses that we already know about, which have all struck a weak population at a bad time.

So, no need to panic just yet. They’re sending various test samples off to be checked out, but the road out of the region takes 48 hours to drive due to rainy season issues, so it’s a bit slow going.

All in all, this is likely no big deal, but certainly worth keeping an eye on just to be safe. These sorts of things happen all the time, basically, but before COVID nobody really cared.

Why is the guy at the top called the Permanent Kaiser? Doesn’t be know what happened to the last Kaiser?

Bit of a wild title that xD

Why is it that almost everyone’s comment makes this about the USA in one way or another? And in general, why do people always try to make everything about that country.

You’d think they were the centre of the world, with the way people go on.

Real encrypted apps, …or just the ones their own government can use to spy on them?

Any exercise is better than none :-)

We all have varied, busy lives that never fit the neat structured exercise plans we read about, or make for ourselves. Sometimes we only find 15 minutes free in a day for some quick exercise. And if that’s the only time we have available that day, then that’s enough.

Ideally you’ll find time for more structured exercise at least once a week, but don’t beat yourself up if you struggle with your schedule, you’re only human, just do what you can, that already puts you ahead of most people <3

Complete nonsense.

Not to sound too harsh but this is just so silly, blanket assuming that everybody on the planet under the age of 50 are not interested in something that’s been pretty commonly popular, just because your individual experience of running a shop in one town in one country happens to suggest that cool stuff like this isn’t popular.

How do you know your town’s demographics were a completely average in every way representation of you own nation’s demographics (nevermind the world) - not skewed by age ranges, gender, wealth, occupational discrepancies, etc?

How do you know your failed business is due to your product being unpopular, Vs your business being poorly advertised to its target demographic (who you think doesn’t exist…), or maybe overpriced compared to the available expendable income of the local population, or in a location that wasn’t ideal for target demos to travel to, or they didn’t like the vibe of the place, etc etc.

There’s so many possibilities that it’s ridiculous to make such a sweeping blanket statement about everyone’s tastes based on your extremely subjective and limited experience.

For example, myself and many of my friends, colleagues and acquaintances would kill for that collection, it’s rad, and we’re decades away from 50 haha, many of us are in our 20s! We’re slowly building our own collections up as we go through life and loving it :-)

I myself just recently got a lovely porcelain teapot that now sits on the mantle next to my other Victorian porcelain, glassware, etc, and I love my display and storage cabinetry, I plan to build my own eventually using traditional joinery <3 I’m on the lookout for more tea china still too, not enough for High Tea with more guests yet, and that simply won’t do! :-D

I know I come across a bit harsh here and I’m sure you’re lovely, just consider not making blanket assumptions about the interests and tastes of the 5,500,000,000~ people who are under the age of 50, you know? :-)

Not liquid proof? How can you cook moist things in there then? Or things like chickens or beef joints etc that drip so much liquids?

I mean yeah, Virgin has been pretty solid in that regard for the 20 years I’ve used them, and their service has been solid too.

I’d be wary of switching to another company that doesn’t have such a good proven track record, though due to prices I’m considering swapping to Brsk for a bit to see how they hold up, given that they have symmetric gigabit fibre to the house with static IP for a very nice low price.

If you’re using Twitter as a news source what are you even doing in the first place?

Go to the news outlets directly, the BBC, whoever.
