I love horror films with terrifying vengeful spirits. I get sad when someone kills a harmless spider. I love running around the wasteland of Fallout games and blasting the baddies. I cried when a bird flew into the glass of my bedroom window and died.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
Kamikaze death cult.
My understanding is that the words and phrasing, and the overall scam, are a filter for idiots. Only the dumbest need apply.
The issue is the 4/20 (blaze it).
It also seems fake.
My mother certainly told me it was necessary as a child, but I think it was more in the “upholding the social contract” and “not being a lazy arse” sense of the word.
Yep. Basically any position where you’re in some sort of service to the community.
It really gives you perspective.
Also PTSD.
I’ve said this, except you have a choice:
You can do retail, hospitality, or health services (eg cleaning hospitals, very basic patient support, anything that requires minimal training and won’t do harm to any patient in their care).
I am a Service rep and my mum was a nurse, so we’ve both seen a lot of the worst of humanity. I think people need to extend more empathy to nurses and other medical staff - I understand for many patients, it’s a horrible, scary situation, but these people are (generally) there to help and have to deal with a lot of awful stuff every single day.
More patience and empathy in general would make for a much better society.
I’m living with my grandmother in law and she’s just very fussy. Sometimes we think, I’d rather just pay rent somewhere, but we love her and she’s unwell and we’re saving money so we’re all looking after each other for now and trying not to sweat the small stuff like hanging a television when we don’t really need to.
I honestly haven’t even asked, but I know what the answer will be - can’t even leave the toaster that I use daily on the bench, has to go away once cooled. Getting to leave my coffee machine out was a bloody battle.
Her house, we live here for free and just pay our share of utilities and do our own groceries, and I help her if she is having a bad health day etc. It’s fine. It’s (mostly) worth the frustration.
I’m more annoyed with the limitations that renters experience in general - it’s the landlord’s property, but it’s the renter’s home, and sometimes it feels like we’re never really allowed to make any place our own, what with all the rules and regulations and punishments.
ETA: "won’t have a bar of… ", ie she won’t accept that sort of thing.
I’d actually love to wall mount but as a renter, not possible.
Currently living with elderly family and she also won’t have a bar of a wall mount.
I got rolled into our floor rug as a kid, we were messing around and I thought it would be funny. It was not and a panic attack was had.
Features make car go brrrrrrrrm
In Australia, or at least in the states I’ve lived in, Red = General waste 🫡 Green = Green waste Yellow = Recycling
We need standardisation in all (or most) things!
I keep thinking of the monoblock as the monolith from 2001. But with water cooling tubes sticking out of it.
I don’t want to look it up because I like the picture in my imagination.
Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.
I have poor spatial awareness and learning to drive later in life - plus still getting to know my car. With a long, low nose, these bumpers are so handy, particularly the lower ones and/or made of rubber, so I don’t scrape my car’s poor snout!
You can switch to use the external browser in the app settings, however, at time it affects everything - including images. Once that’s fixed, I’ll probably move back from Sync to Connect!
They’re literally a household name.
I grew up poor in Australia, and no one really had pay TV around me - least of all the people I hung with. Over the years, you’d still learn through other TV shows and movies that HBO was the channel with the good stuff.
Why change that? Why lose such branding? Have they become associated with something that they don’t want to be? If not, leave great enough alone.
I’m an Aussie, and a biscuit is a biscuit, plus I love Britcoms, yet I’ve never heard the term!
I love it, though.
