Aye that’s my thinking at least. It’s been going on for ages as well, and no matter what I do or say it’s just not getting through.
I’m trying to set him up to be able to cope on his own and if he can’t (or worse, won’t) engage and start pitching in with such a small ask then he’s gonna be fucked when he’s trying to stay afloat on his own.
He’s “served his time” with dishes. He started work as a kitchen porter a few months ago, so we agreed that ge should get a pass on doing the dishes at home. The next oldest two kids have that fun task now!
Due to the time he gets off etc we agreed the bins were the best candidate. Get home; empty bins; stick em out if needed. But apparently it’s too big of an ask.
I got perma banned from Reddit for reporting a Fox News article that was posted on r/politics which stated climate change had no impact on wildfire occurrences.
Said I was abusing the report function to bully or harass people. For reporting blatant fucking right wing lies! I’d never even reported any posts before.
People would rather bury their stupid fucken heids in the ground than face the truth.
No idea, always thought it was weird that one “offence” led to permanently losing my years old account.
I even appealed the ban, explaining the reasoning behind reporting the article, and it was upheld! Bonkers - I still have no idea what it was in my report that led to such a mental reaction. “What are these lies” were what I titled it.
Such a classic. Absolute _ banging_ music. Nothing quite like watching the hillside become a forest of graves as a testament to how much young you sucked.
It’s so demoralising as well. There was someone handing out (Scottish) labour flyers on the high street and looked at me like I was an idiot when I laughed and said they’re just red tories.
It’s a race to see who can fuck us over the most for the benefit of the “elite”.
The government is suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates. Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services.
I think the Tory government are a shower of self serving cunts. That’s business as usual though.
I’ve honestly no idea why they keep getting voted in again and again. Baffles me even more why folk are voting Tory here in Scotland. “Fuck you, I’ve got mine” seems to be a big factor.
Above my son’s bed! I found another two around the same size yesterday. One above my wife’s side of bed and another in the living room. She’s freaking out about it!
Weans are back to school tomorrow up this end and despite saying I’d get them up early, I’m currently making my coffee and then gonna just enjoy another hour of peace and quiet.
Tuesday, Tuesday. Up here in Scotland (specifically Edinburgh) it’s the last day of the school holidays. To any other parents north of the border - we’ve done it, folks. The end is in sight. Looking forward to tomorrow’s hectic early morning followed by a day of bliss....
It’s a waste of time. These types of people are as thick as mince, you’re not gonna change their mind because they have zero interest or incentive to do so. It’s a fucking cult of morons.
I recognise that! KFC in Tower Hill, London. One of the filthiest restaurants I’ve been in but holy fuck it’s still the best KFC I’ve had like 5 years later. Also - you Have to pay for the fucking toilet as well.
I went out for a curry with some friends last night, have a fairly straightforward day at work today then a pizza this evening and have a day booked off on Monday: I have some DIY lined up over the weekend....
Happy Friday. Not for me though! Work are doing this stupid fucking push towards ai (years late IBM, as usual) and have arranged this stupid Watsonx challenge we have to participate in. I’m leading a team that aren’t bothering their arse. Work has given us hardly any notice and it’s all set up as a “sneaky” way to get us to train it I suspect.
Kicked off last Friday and the deadline is Sunday yet I’m still fannying around with Jupyter notebooks trying to get it set up and accepting the data. Clueless. Doesn’t help that there is zero context for setting it up, just a huuuuge list of instructions.

At first when they changed the layout I thought it was to try and mimic a mobile phone kind of layout, portrait instead of landscape sort of, to make it identical on pc and phone. Not that it made sense then, But they’re pushing everyone to their shite app so it makes even less sense now.

How do I explain to a person that the "red pill mentality" is stupid?
This is a genuine question, as every time I have an argument about this with someone they bring a point so utterly stupid that it leaves me stumped…
