  Indicators?

  Yes, only pillocks don’t use their indicators. They’re an essential method of communication between vehicles and for pedestrians, and an essential safety feature.

  I cannot stress this enough, people who don’t use their indicators are massive twats and shouldn’t be on the road.

  They’re a danger to themselves and everybody around them.

  By throwing your rubbish in a bin whilst in the USA, you are causing the city to not need to pay a litter picker to collect and throw your rubbish into a bin.

  I know I’m just being silly, and I know you’re not wrong, I’m just sayin. There’s a thousand ways one could look at almost any action and suggest ways in which it is “work” if we define it as causing someone else to not have to do a job or get paid for something.

  Oh, there’s precedent for everything that’s happening right now…

  I love how Americans need a literal road blocking bump to hit with their tyres to figure out when to stop (and yet because their cars are gigantic that’s overshooting anyway).

  I remember being so confused by the weird concrete stumps for ages when I lived there at first. It’s just not a thing here…

  I don’t think it’s used as a verb, a Goon would perhaps hench? Even that feels like a stretch though.

  Hmm, I’m not sure what singular verb you’d use to describe a hired henchman/goon’s job…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And he doesn't even chip in for tolls.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda ruined by having website branding slapped in the middle of it, especially as the majority of the poster is, if we want to talk creative property and such, ripped off from an old WWII poster.

  But yeah, regardless of the why, it is very poorly placed and draws the eye far too much. There’s a reason such copyright statements are in small text in a corner, not plastered in the literal middle of an image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Decent wages don’t cure sicknesses that require a functioning healthcare system, alas, and that’s our biggest problem at the moment, with regards to large numbers out of work.

  I know people who can’t work because of an illness that the NHS can treat, but the waiting list and hoops to jump through to obtain treatment can be literally years long.

  They want to get back to being healthy and working, but the national services they need to get there basically just don’t exist any longer…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Um they’re red not blue, duh.

  I wonder how many of us didn’t vote for either of the main parties? Hmm. Pity it wasn’t more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europeans watching US/CA relations implode⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  could we ask the UK and rest of Commonwealth to help us out if things get too bad?

  The UK need not have entered the last conflict against aggressive fascists when and how she did, but did so as much out of a sense of obligation to one’s friends and the moral right as anything. When conflict loomed, the UK made a defensive pact with Poland, when she could have easily just sat back and watched.

  The same is true of Canada. We are no longer an empire, no longer a large and powerful nation, but if and when the US eventually takes direct aggressive military action, the UK, backed by the Allies of the new Millennium in Europe and beyond, will come to Canada’s aid.

  To do any less would be to side with the fascists.

  Thinking of the USA’s current lying, deceitful leader, and their increasingly aggressive moves, I’m once again reminded of Chamberlain’s address to the nation…

  We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.

  As such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us.

  …Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.

  And if you’ll forgive me a little more quoting of particularly famous speeches, this line about the new world comes to mind also…

  we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

  Even if one of us falls, the others will step forth to their rescue and liberation. Freedom from fascism is a universal right, and we will enforce it until we no longer can ♥️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t live in a very dangerous area, then.

  I keep an eye on everyone, even a woman with a kid in a pram (assuming the pram isn’t just an empty decoy) could try to mug you, people get desperate and chavs get violent. Always keep your head on a swivel, don’t trust anyone at face value just because of their gender or what they look like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solidarity amongst the instances!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “The fediverse is for everyone”

  Everyone? Are you sure? I can think of a lot of truly, deeply evil people we wouldn’t want anywhere near anything we’re involved in.

  There’s inclusivity and freedom of expression, and then there’s groups of people that do things that are so evil and illegal and so on that I might get told off just for mentioning what those things are by name, so I won’t.

  But yeah, in principle I completely agree with you of course, that there shouldn’t be barriers and limitations to who can interact with who and such, but in practical application we have to realise there are groups that absolutely should be ostracised for our own safety and to limit their growth and power over our society, sadly :-(

  I don’t know what feudposting is though, but I can take a guess. I’ve never taken part in any sort of beef between instances, I don’t really notice what instance stuff comes from much at all, I just join communities that I think look cool and trust the mods and admins to handle what’s appropriate and what’s not. It’s worked very well so far, touch wood! :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A tense moment.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the healthcare system

  Kinda sounds like you’re refering to a particular country’s healthcare system (whilst assuming OP meant this same one), but you didn’t specify.

  You could be talking about Brazil, Kenya, New Zealand, even France. Without that bit of info, it’s hard to learn much from what you’re sharing.

  Anyway, bloody awful what happened to you, madness! I hope once you got your diagnosis that things improved, and that you’re doing grand these days :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you workout when you don't have much time?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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
