  I also used to be an office worker and lunchtime is for you and you only. If what you need is to sit alone with a podcast and decompress, people need to be respectful of that. People are usually more understanding than they’re given credit for.

  Find the time to go outside during work hours. Take a little walk or something. It’s easy for me since I used to be a smoker but I get how it would make other people uncomfortable. If you live in a northern country it’s very likely you have the right to these kinds of breaks.

  Fuck yes. “Winter depression” beats the shit out of summer exhaustion. Especially up here where the sun won’t stay down long for most of summer.

  Give me snow and ice so I can wear my good boots and coat.

  I’ve had the privilege of working with users with actual computer training. Old ladies who started working on terminals in the 70s and 80s. They were awesome, because they actually understood what they were doing. They could give me an accurate description of what they were doing when shit went wrong. They had real concerns and realistic requests for improvement. And they never blamed the computer when they encountered something they didn’t understand. They’re all dead or retired now.

  Todays computer illiterate workforce is doomed to be incompetent because they don’t understand how their main tool works. Nobody bothered to train them.

  Religion is the closest thing to true evil that exist on this planet. Insane cultists shouldn’t be allowed around children. Not even their own (they tend to mutilate them in order to mark them as members of their insane cult).

  No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.

  I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.

  Same in most of the world. Sucks that these machines brought tipping to places it didn’t exist before. Used to be only shitty tourist trap restaurants asked for tips in Stockholm. Now all the machines do.

  Remember kids. Never tip, ever.

  The “I’m just doing my job” defence. Nice.

  They are way worse than 20 years ago. High school kids now grew up with Roblox on the iPad.

  Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I’d do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESO devs at ZeniMax reel from Microsoft's 'hollow' layoff emails, with some wondering how a 'carcass of workers' is 'supposed to keep shipping award-winning games'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Making award winning games aren’t the most effective way to make a quick buck. Getting children addicted to gambling is.

  Everyone who works at Meta is a burden on society

  Nah. Better to just cut untrustworthy people from your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millions of tonnes of toxic sewage sludge spread on UK farmland every year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Country folk used to have a clue about nature because they relied on it to survive. Now they’re just dumb rednecks with carbrain. Lately there’s a ton of country bumpkins in Sweden who wants to kill all the wolves because they occasionally harm or kill their loose pets (if your dog lives in your home, it’s a pet). They claim the wolves “aren’t good for anything in nature”. So we will likely have a massive increase of tick and mosquito borne illness soon due to deer overpopulation.

  A bunch of for profit corporations. If slavery was on the table they would be required to argue for it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the dumbest idea ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No one over the age of 70 should drive. It’s simply not safe. Like putting a 7 year old in front of the wheel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Mayor of Calgary, Canada, just received this letter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bike lanes doesn’t “decrease vehicle capacity”, quite the opposite. Maybe someone should explain what the word “vehicle” means to this dumb cunt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Amazon. Of course it’s a scam. I always tell elderly people it’s a criminal enterprise scamming old people when they ask about it.
