- Comment on They ain't there for you 2 days ago:
You’re violently agreeing again! The point “the common misconception” comment was making was this; it’s common mistake to think HR are there for the employee. HR is to protect the company from employees. They hire and fire as required. There’s only loyalty to the company.

So you’re not going to tell us the phrase he actually said then? I’ll assume he was offering to have the ‘last suck on this fag’ At least he wasn’t asking to get the last cigarette for free, and therefore would be looking to ‘bum a fag’ All manner of confusion would ensue I’d assume, also being a Brit and I have never heard ‘fag’ being recognised as a slur here, it only means either cigarette or to do mundane tasks for older boys in public(private boarding) schools “oh Tarquin, have you heard? Simpkins is fagging for Fontleroy don’t you know?”

Clip ons for safety, but it’s quite standard
- Comment on Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds 1 week ago:
All clothes cost money, and if you wear your street clothes to school they wear out quicker and get replaced more often. So the focus should be cost of uniform, not whether to uniform or not.

Oh yes you can, do 30mph over the speed limit and you will more than likely be banned for that one offence.
- Comment on Dik Piks 1 month ago:
We kind of do have a pronunciation of ü The cornish town Bude, would be pronounced by locals as “Büd” It’s how I explained to my kids how to handle umlaut words, if it was the English word “lane“ imagine it’s spelled ‘laen’ and then get rid of the e to make ‘län’. It’s rare but some English words still use æ as a sound not a pair of letters. Spelæological for caving for instance. Often simplified to speleological.

What’s fucking ridiculous, is that any industry could not have to report water usages. Let alone an environmental disaster area like AI.

Go right and you’re in oncoming traffic, go left and you’re risking further traffic stopping at this junction crushing you against the back of her car? I’d rather not. Bunny hop and skid mark on the roof is much better
- Comment on Reappraisal of the Geologic Time Scale: Evidence for a 6,001-year-old Earth 2 months ago:
“I first went about the humane capture of the wildlife of C-100. A few peacocks were caught with bear traps, an iguana was captured via a falling piano, and a peacock bass was shot in the face with a shotgun, all in line with the standards set by the Florida Constitution [3].”
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 months ago:
That’s my point about permissiveness, if the rights weren’t there about self identifying, but everyone’s ok with it, then it feels like more rights, which may or may not be supported in law. But then when a lack of support in law is being enforced by bad feeling alone, people who want to cry about who’s using which toilet, then the end result is that it feels like a loss of rights. I think it’s a bad thing, but I also understand that in law, being able to do something without a fuss, and then later not being able to, is nothing to do with rights unless the law actually changed.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 months ago:
Misleading title, they’re apparently not reducing rights, they’re communicating that the rights have not changed, but assumptions were incorrectly made and it ‘feels like reduced rights’ It’s not a nice thing to learn and needs to be handled carefully and compassionately, even a policy to be permissive and encourage to normalise what the assumed increase in rights were working towards making them actual rights. But yeah, antagonistic headlines as ways.

I was always rock/metal/grunge/alternative/thrash and so on in interests, so punk was not a bit of me, only the big names with tracks in the charts I ever noticed, so I missed these guess completely.

- Comment on A stranger peeled the clearcoat off my car 5 months ago:
That’s a stonechip, the impact mark is the little white dot slightly off centre of the patch of missing clearcoat. Then you can see the almost water mark streaks as moisture has crept under it from that mark, as the adhesion to the layer below is slowly destroyed with heat and cold cycles. Then either wind or washing the car has lifted it and it peeled off. Jetwashing the car is the biggest risk for these little defects.
