It’s relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.

Go online however and you’d think it were.

The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the “default” country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you’re talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.

… unless it’s about the USA of course, then you don’t need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the 🇺🇸 US of A! 🇺🇸

This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they’re special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be… you know… descriptive and helpful.

That’s not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don’t know your local regional internal place names.

Oh, you’re from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren’t country name abbreviations. Oh, you’re from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo…oh, London… Texas? 🤦‍♀️

So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don’t have any of the traits I’ve described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they’re the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others :-(

Haha aye, we call it Corporation Pop round my end.

We call it Corporation Pop here.

hahaha good onion article can you imagine if this really happened haha

r…right?

Glazing?

It was glorious. I used Stardock’s Windows Blinds to adjust the transparency to what felt just right and that was chef’s kiss

Ahh, what we’ve lost…

The more you look at the villains in all the TV, movies, and books growing up, the more you realise they’re mostly evil capitalists.

It’s weird that Hollywood etc would green light so many movies about how rich people like themselves are evil, and teaching kids to fight against them.

The rich landlord is going to close the community club hall! The rich businessman is trying to have us killed to cover up his chemical spills! Etc etc.

If it’s not a literal alien from another planet, more often than not the bad guy is just a literal normal capitalist.

And yet try to use the lessons taught in every piece of media you ever watched as an impressionable child, and you’re told that your anticapitalist beliefs are “extremist” and you’re dangerous and must be stopped.

Weird eh?

They’re not wrong though, assuming they’re in the UK and/or their contract agrees a minimum of two weeks notice, as is standard.

This applies both ways. I expect this employee would be angry if their employer breached their contract to sack them immediately without this notice, but if the employee breaches those same terms of their agreed contract that’s…okay? No.

Regardless of their feelings, it’s very unprofessional, petty even, and depending on how litigious and unhappy with them their employer is, not a very smart idea.

There are many edge cases where things must be looked at differently of course (someone resigning over harassment at work would not wish to remain there for a fortnight serving their notice for example), but this must be discussed and agreed upon, because again, it deviates from the legally binding contractual agreement they both signed.

This employee, regardless of any legitimate grievances, in this communication is unprofessional, petty, and frankly childish.

While I don’t know the story behind their falling out, I suspect the employer will be glad to see them go. I wouldn’t want them working for me, or even work with them as a colleague. They sound awful.

but they were roommates!

I’ve never actually seen a display port cable, so if there was one in the back of a PC I had to pull out, I’d initially treat it like a HDMI cable and just pull it out.

It doesn’t look like it has screws, so if it has some way of locking in place it must be sneaky about it right?

My TV doesn’t have a Jellyfin app, only a Plex app. I’m not buying a new TV just to use my preferred media server, sadly :-(

Okay, going off the title to start with you’re building a WiFi network, that’s very cool (I’m guessing it’s a mesh network), but will you connect it to the Internet too?

That’d be more of a headline if so, then just building a WiFi network.

I’ve got her book by my bed, such a good read :-)

Damn,…you get responses?

I dunno, that looks like the USA and their butter sucks, man. It’s not even yellow, and they sell it in “sticks”. I was so glad to find Kerrygold there.

That’s decent stuff that I use on the regular.

Hard to say. It’s 1 or 3.

2 has an annoying bulbous handle that upsets the balance and the tines take up too much of the fork space, leaving too little room for the little shovel bit at the back that can hold things that might fall through the tines a bit better,

5 is an utter nightmare of awful.

Is this fake, or does this guy fuck his sister?

They specifically mention this in the announcement stream and say that stuff is important for the same reason you do, so it’s all still in there, though they say they’ve also recorded new lines too. Will be interesting to hear!

Unless you need something, let’s continue on to Weynon Priory
