That kid berating Ben for coming to a shit down and threatening to steal his phone felt very English. I got a good laugh from Sam and Adam pointing at the most generic countryside stone wall in the photo and going “he must be hiding down by the canals!” as if those walls aren’t everywhere as well

I am very glad to be out of retail hell now, but the christmas eve shift I did a couple of years ago was depressing with the amount of people that would come in looking for their children’s main gift, like a PS5 or an Xbox, and then yelled at us because we ran out of stock of those high-value items on Christmas eve. The worst was someone who started screaming at one of our nicest staff members that he had “ruined Christmas” for her and her whole family when she came in ten minutes before closing and we didn’t have the laptop she wanted for her son in stock. Some of the younger christmas temps got told off for laughing at her and it took two security guards and the staff member activating his bodycam for her to leave.

I bought an artificial one second-hand which felt like the most sustainable option - not cutting a tree down every year and not paying for virgin plastic either. Charity shops here are usually filled with pretty nice ones since a lot of people seem to replace their plastic trees far more frequently than they should.

You can use uBlacklist with a list of AI websites to filter out a ton of crap in search results. It’s good for blocking out AI slop websites but probably won’t be too effective for individual YouTube videos.

The day after Halloween in Asda, Underneath the Tree. I usually like christmas music but I was already having a bad day and that song is so overstimulating when you’re in a busy supermarket.

yes

Same here. There’s a few set hours of the day we have to be there but otherwise so long as you get your 40 hours in over the course of the week you’re alright. In all the office jobs I’ve worked there wasn’t really such a thing as “being late” or even being late back from lunch

I’m glad it’s back, but I really wish they’d hand the reins over to someone new. RTD’s writing has been really poor the past two series.

I thought to myself right as they approached Kasel that it would be really funny for them to get deutsch bahn’d so close to the runners again on the same day and then it happened. Would have watched it either way, but deutsch bahn really made the runner up episodes worth watching.

I don’t think this place is big enough yet for my conspiracy theory to make any sense, but if I was the CEO of a company like Reddit and I wanted to prevent users moving to Lemmy I would make a bunch of accounts on here and spark as much drama and infighting as possible. And there’s been so much of it lately, whether it be callout posts on different instances or people concern trolling under posts, that it does feel so inorganic. When you come on here hoping for a better place and you see users writing mini manifestos calling out another user’s character flaws, it is extremely offputting.

This is why I need to have a room set aside as an office when I next move house. Having the work laptop in my living room means I can be doing something at the weekend or on a day off and get a pang of panic that I need to be back at my laptop.

I’ve gotten more aggressive with blocks lately. Feels like there’s been a lot more arguing and drama on here lately than usual, and I haven’t been on as much because of it. Blocking at least drowns a lot of that out.

Number 18 is the only one that really threw me…I thought there was something weird about the glasses and cutlerly in the 2nd photo but the first one just had more of the general AI vibe. And it ended up I should have trusted my eyes over vibes

I said it’s not a cow. Steak generally refers to cow meat but if we can use it for fish, why not plant-based foods too?

Editing to add, OP seems to just be trolling everyone in the comments on the other threads so I’m just gonna block and move on .

I understand it for terms that are unequivocally an animal product, like eggs and pork. But burgers and sausages can be made from so many things that it makes it really clear this is just a bribe for animal farmers. Even steak isn’t necessarily from cows since you can have things like tuna steak, so why would a plant steak be any different?

Adam winning jet lag in a way that should have been near impossible and then immediately panicking while helping out the runners up was quite funny. It was like he just forgot he’d already won

Ours was “{town} Free Wi-Fi” when we lived in the town centre for a while, just to confuse tourists. It was more of a getting stabbed area than a fun SSID name area though.

I much prefer my powder inhaler because I can feel the difference much faster, but yeah it wouldn’t be great in an asthma attack situation. It’s not something you can take a quick puff of, and the lever mechanicism on most of them would be impossible to operate in quick succession while struggling to breathe. My local practice doesn’t like to give out reliever inhalers anymore, as they believe if you need a reliever then really it’s your preventative inhaler that needs to be increased in dosage, and it just means if I’m sick with the cold or something then I’m totally reliant on the slower powder inhaler to get air into my lungs. There’s a cruel irony to the fact that climate change has caused an increase in asthma and now we’re being blamed for causing it with our evil lifesaving medication.
