I don't get the nostalgising for old timey bins.

I mean, I sort of do, you get to an age and start to realise that the cultural ephemera that was the unquestioned background of your young years has vanished a bit at a time, and you can't pinpoint the moment the world you're living in now supplanted it. It's alienating; a part of your interior world, your memory, forever belongs to a place that no longer exists.

But like, it wasn't *better*. And even if it were, for you, personally, are you going to submit people to more hardship just so you can live in it again for one more day? This sounds like I'm deliberately making a heavy handed Brexit analogy and I'm not.

Be thankful you get to leave your surplus things outside and someone does the dirty work of coming and taking them away for you, and try and remember they're human beings and to treat them with respect and not make their job any harder than it needs to be. It's not difficult.

Bins break this country's brains repeatedly, probably because it combines all of our boomer's brain poisoning at once. Unions, Health and Safety, having to be near a poor person, getting really mad that someone didn't do that thing you also didn't do and making up a scenario where that person is hurting a infirm war vet so you can get really really mad.

For a more in depth look I'd suggest a look at the seminal piece on this issue "Trash of The Titans" by Ian Maxtone-Graham.

Had my PIP tribunal today. The judge correctly identified that the DWP had made contradictory decisions by awarding me zero points for everything in my PIP assessment and then, 2 months later, putting me in the highest support category for universal credit. The DWP did not address this decision in their package of evidence for the tribunal.

So, presumably, this should mean that, as well as re-evaluating my application on its own merits, the statements from the DWP should be considered by the judge in light of their contradictory decision making. Right? Nope.

The DWP "have to be given chance to submit new evidence" and my hearing that I've waited 16 months for gets adjourned after 3 minutes, putting me to the back of the queue for tribunal hearings and sentencing me to another year+ of poverty. Working absolutely as intended.

Sorry about having to come into contact with our dogshit welfare system. Have you gotten in touch with any welfare rights teams? If you're a member of a housing association then they should be able to get you in touch with a team to help you. Sometimes the DWP will back off just at the sight of a welfare rights team getting near a case.

I remember when I had to help represent a guy with learning difficulties, epilepsy and injuries stemming from a crossbow attack. First they interviewed him alone and assessed him as fit for work because he did well in school (they left off it was Primary school he was talking about), then he got in touch with me who got him in touch with the Welfare rights team, we built up a case and went in with numbers and they backed off immediately after a quick interview with us. They're weasels seeing what they can get away with.

Yeah so the Brexit stuff has been the top story on the news over here all day. I think one thing that Bojo fails to understand at all (or is willingly ignoring) is that even if reneging on your deal as part of some super high risk negotiating strategy and it does work....

You've completely killed your credibility. Like why should anyone trust you with future trade deals, when you have shown that you are willing to break deals to try and get what you want.

Whenever I have to give lectures on Ethics, I go to the Tony Montoya school of thought.

"All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for no one."

Boris plans to ratfuck the country, go work for all the people making money out of the ratfucking and then try and run for President of the US.

Here's something I love about being a manager. There are two girls working in my office. They loving gossip non stop and do no work when I'm out of the office.

Usually I go out for an hour at 12,30 or 1ish for lunch and I know they just do gently caress all while I'm gone even though they take their lunches at 12.

Today I'm hanging around in the office and skipping my lunch. They keep casually mentioning the time in conversation as if to remind me it's time for me to leave so they can skive off for an hour.

I'm skipping lunch just to gently caress them off lol
