No. No I would not.

Never heard the phrase sealioning before, but I have seen it everywhere.

Environmental change activists? They have pretty authoritarian views on certain subjects, even if they are more “liberal” and alternative views?

well… it made the news: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/is-this-britains-worst-road-kettering-parents-furious-at-school-access-1327488

Quite tame for most other places, but unusually standard for the UK.

Road I live on a manhole cover is literally half exposed out the road. not the rover to it, the actual frame the cover goes into. council doesn’t care. But they just repaved a road which had only been done 5 years before, and definitely didn’t need re-doing.

Sadly here a huge amount of government is entirely online. Even 4 years ago when I wanted to do my passsport, because of my age bracket, I was not allowed to use a paper or internet method. I HAD to use a web app, and then with the app someone had to take a photo of me for the picture. No “send a photo in” no email the photo.

It couldn’t be your normal passport photo eaither, full waist up photo, with full white background and neutral lighting… It was completely impossible.

You are missing a key feature of that roundabout, the first sign leading up to it, and the “clock” theory.

Imagine an analogue clock. Anything between 12:00 and 6:00 you use the right hand lane, regardless of the shape of the roundabout in real life.

Anything between 6:00 and 12:00 you use the left hand lane. Again. Regardless of what the actual real world layout of the roundabout it.

The sign shows that the left lane is not to go “straight ahead”, even though you are staying on the A610 and staying on the “same road”

Once you got past those first two exits, you would then switch from lane 2 to lane 1, as per the sign on the roundabout.

So normally left would be to continue, in this specific case, right is to continue on the A610, and the people “cutting in front of you” are correct. Well, they shouldn’t cut, but they are not expecting you to still be in lane 1

Except when a sign states otherwise. In this case left lane is exit 1 and 2, and right lane is the others. Even if you are “exiting at 12:00” / straight over.

It how swift it has been. Friend and I went to a “mall” we hadn’t been to since we were kids. He pointed out "holy crap, this is where it used to be rows and rows of payphones. Even in 2010 I didn’t have a mobile, and only got one as all the payphones vanished.

Now so many things require an app or online sign-up.

ET scared the crap out of me.

For me the “shoot her” scene at the start was the scariest. How quickly it flips from “hehe gotcha, you thought it was a dinosaur but it was just a crate” to utter human terror as they try to save someone from an unseen monster

Don’t feel too bad. Whatever the occasion it is acceptable to wear trousers. We can wear the same thing 50 times to 50 events and society won’t care

Proper fitting ones are also very comfortable. While the range of men’s clothing at supermarkets and bigger clothes stores is generally a lot less than women’s clothes, specialised men’s clothes shops and tailoring is much more common for men than women.

It just takes men a much longer time tomdoscover clothes that fit. Late 20’s when I discovered it, and early 30’s I have found what fits, and dye it to suit what colour I want!

Yes that is the famous Rainbow Sketch which leaked. It was very similar to that, but with alien characters from an advert Argos (UK catalogue store) was launching for Christmas 2012

There is an unreleased and un-leaked version of the 2012 ARGOS Christmas advert, not dissimilar to the infamous “rainbow for adults” sketch which leaked many years ago.

To watch it we had all our phones taken away from us, and there was a pretty thorough “OK you all saw it, funny hey, time to destroy the CD”

Counter shower thought, I’m not even close to dating Lemmy. I spent 2 years getting to know Reddit, it will take me as long, if not longer due to Lemmy not being as mature as resdit was.

Right now, lemmy is the stranger at the train station asking why I am crying. It might turn into something, or I may just lean into Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / discord more.

He really cared. He was then transferred to another store (even further from home) to try and improve their performance, and I heard about half the staff quit when he went. There was another manager from another branch who would visit a lot to cover for him, and everyone expected she would be the replacement… and she wasn’t. She was also really good. An unexpectedly good management team that actually cared and helped. The real “its super busy, I will take my suit jacket off and join you on the shop floor” kinda team.

A series of fortunate events. 3 year course at university doing Product design. then about a year in and out of retail jobs. then i saw in a news paper a listing for a job which required a designer. At the time the store i was working at was very happy with my work, but the boss was an amazing person. They drove me to the first interview, as it was very close to their house.

3 Interviews later they called me saying I got the job, and it has been that way ever since. I feel lucky that my current career is a similar path to where i wanted to go. It was either an IT role or a design role, and my teachers at my school heavily encouraged me to take the design route.
