I've had pressure from my whole family to go to my mum's for Christmas Day, despite there being nowhere for us to sleep overnight and wanting a quiet day to keep the stress down for my kid. We're going boxing Day and apparently that's deserving of passive aggressive convents from elder brother. It's fine for him, it's a 5 minute drive or taxi, it's 1.5-3 hrs each way for us. Also gently caress commercialised holidays in general.

I once bought a pizza from the work canteen that I didn't notice until I got back to my desk to eat it (I don't work through lunch I just browse the internet a lot) that the seasonings were one solid coin-sized lump. Honestly the worst pizza I've ever eaten.

InitialDave posted:Update: While it looks like the system is set up to not ramp the fan up to full if there isn't enough heat in the coolant to be of any use, I don't think that's what's going on here. It did it again this evening, but the car was warm, and slapping about the lower dash area got it started, so I reckon it's just a dicky connection, will try and investigate when I have daylight to work in. I can believe it's a dicky connection, my right front speaker cuts out if I turn left hard, then gives back when I press the brakes. I'm sure It'd be a 2 minute fix but, you know, cold, dark, the usual.

Utter utter despair and trying to face the clear fact that this garbage country is stuffed with closed minded racists who will happily see children starve if it lets them be racist more. Also my son will rely on the NHS until he dies so that will be fun to watch be eviscerated, while I'm trying to stay employed in a country that no European company will use as a manufacturing base. Apart from that? loving dandy mate, how about you? Also trying not to think about speaking to family at Christmas, because holy gently caress I'm 99% certain they all voted Tory cakesmith handyman fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Dec 13, 2019 |

I'm torn on the UK labour party at the moment, while there are an enormous number of people for whom Corbyn was the problem, that stems from the billionaires owning our media pouring non-stop poison on anyone who doesn't represent their interests. Whoever replaces Corbyn will be walking into a torrent of that vitriol every moment of their political careers. Their stance on brexit was sensible but it's clear the masses don't want a sensible choice anymore. They want to be told what they want as long as it's jingoism and lets them peel back the sheets to display the racism that seems to be hiding in all of them. There also seems to be an enormous number of people that have been persuaded that Brexit is a great idea and they're just loving idiots. I work for a company that sells 85% of its product to the EU. We have other plants in the EU. If we leave, we won't get our current product replaced at the end of its lifecycle as it'd make greater financial sense to use the factories in the EU rather than pay tariffs on materials going out then product coming back in. Some are even aware the plant might shut but think they'll just get another job, good luck with that when there's no manufacturing industry left anywhere. I have more, but it's exhausting just trying to process it.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Considering I'm not cool with people having been forced to suffer under the current government, I'm not exactly happy knowing there's quite this amount of cretins in the country. I mean secretly I knew it, I just never thought they'd emerge in such numbers and prove it to me. I'm trying not to politics post too much because I just want to scream until I pass out, but yeah. The general public are either stupid or uncaring enough to swallow all the poisoned media, or secretly racist enough to be happy regardless. And they'll suffer, but they'll be happy because others are suffering more.

That's incredible news Lloyd, congrats. I'm watching demolition man drinking a poo poo load of haig & coke. We're 100% sure the cat is 95% blind, she just walked into my foot.

Rhyno your comic book adventure remind me of my brief stint working at games workshop. There was one kid who tried to get me fired repeatedly because I not only knew less lore than him but i also called him a dork for it. Anyway he would buy every lovely novel that they pumped out, read it in a day then be right back the next day to try and catch me out on things he'd learnt but I obviously hadn't. Jokes on him I failed my probation for not forcing enough plastic crack on people and got a real job elsewhere, 20 years later he's still doing the same thing in the same store, according to someone I know in that area.
