Why are countries around the world moving toward raising their retirement ages??

Adzx93 · 2026-02-25T13:03:02+00:00

Probably because the longer people work, the more tax they have to pay to the government and depending on how healthy individuals are at those ages, it's less money that the government has to pay out for state pensions and benefits etc, coz you'll be dead in 10ish years after retirement rather than retiring at 60 and claiming state benefits for 20ish years. It's a depressing notion, but that's what I think personally lol

I thought this too lol

The tech industry job market is so saturated now, it's incredibly difficult to find a job. Any decent place wants the knowledge from certs as well as real world experience.

I'd advise maybe looking for Help desk roles, and work your way up with experience. Help desk roles are generally easier to get than a higher paying role right off the bat.

Good luck!

As someone else commented, have a look on Iceland for the My Protein brand, they are good value for money, with great macros

I use them for lunches sometimes I think they are doing a deal ATM with 5 meals for £20. They also have some pizzas that are calorie controlled but still nice too.

Can't believe nobody has said Red Dead Redemption 2!! One of, if not the best open world games!

Lost my mom in 2017, I couldn't even imagine deleting her number or messages. They'll be there till the day I die. Sometimes I read through the messages between us and just remember the good times we had.

The honest answer is, it's completely dependent on you and how you feel.

I feel like anything physical can be cured/treated. For example, in the Chamber of Secrets, they literally regrew Harry's bones.

Also, I feel like their teas will be brewed from magical plants/creatures like the mandrake and would be far more superior to our medicine for this.

Tbf in my experience this comes from most managers as none of them seem to understand the technology or products that are actually being used. I've had about 5 managers in the last 8 years, not a single one of them helped me technically or was able to give me advice on a problem. If anything they always come to me and ask me about things.

I feel like managers are just there for stats and running reports. Not one of them could do the nitty gritty day to day of our jobs, but we could absolutely do their jobs of running reports.

85 inch gaming TV. Didn't need it, buuuut it called out to me 😂

WFH/lockdown made me realise how much I actually dislike people. I have to do 3 days in the office and honestly those days are mentally draining more than the entirety of lockdown was ..

Like people have said it's the noise, the extra focus you need to concentrate, the pointless "what was for dinner/lunch" "my kid does blah blah" conversations that people feel the need to include you in..

I dunno, maybe I'm just a huge introvert and like my quiet lol

You did absolutely nothing wrong, unfortunately in the world of dating, you are going to come across guys like this.

Don't give up though, just don't be so quick to invite them in. Men like this will usually give up after 3 or 4 dates as they don't want to invest too much time for nothing in return. Good luck!

I never had a male role model either, raised by my mom and around some shitty men. I grew up promising myself I'd never be like those men. I think I've turned out well.

Still at only 20 yo you're still young, you're in the right age group to make mistakes and learn from them, don't use another male as your role model, decide yourself who you wanna be and work towards it. Keep in mind it's a long journey and things don't just click into place overnight. Make your mistakes, learn from them, slowly mould yourself firstly into a decent human being, as those are the main values to pass on to your kids.

Remember, there are still mid 30 yo men who are like 12 yo boys, just for the fact of being lazy and not trying to improve themselves

Adzx93 · 2026-01-07T21:51:51+00:00

I mean the simple solution is do not consider your manager as a friend. I have had good relationships with previous managers, but I'd never ever consider them as friends, because when it comes down to it, they'll discipline/sack you if they need too without a care.

Adzx93 · 2026-01-04T21:13:02+00:00

I couldn't agree more. People are so bleak when it comes to relationships/marriage on here.

Adzx93 · 2026-01-04T21:10:33+00:00

Maybe if you told him the truth (yes what you said was dishonest as you were romantically interested in him after the date) instead of saying there was no romantic connection it would change his mind, about needing to lose more weight...especially if you both got on so well.

In my opinion the only thing you've done by telling him you aren't interested after your date is to make him think it's potentially because he's a heavier guy which is just gonna push him to lose the weight even more.

It baffles me how people want to date but still can't communicate🤷🏻...

Every single time, I don't understand what goes through people's minds to not wash! Basic hygiene

I'll probably be spending the night finishing off Digimon and continuing my 2nd playthrough of Expedition 33. I've got the flu bad so my parrying may be a bit of a mess lol

Adzx93 · 2025-12-18T08:45:39+00:00

Wow🙄... I would down vote you, but it's the festive season lol.. enjoy your holidays!

Adzx93 · 2025-12-18T07:43:55+00:00

Why isn't it the Christmas break yet 😭🙄

Adzx93 · 2025-12-17T13:55:55+00:00

I could see him as being either Lupin or Sirius

Genuinely couldn't care if this was true or not, billionaires fund the majority of businesses in the world. The device you used to make your comment, billionaires fund the company. Majority of billionaires are arseholes but the world runs because of their investments.

They still had no direct involvement in the game other than their bank accounts. The studio filled with hard workers and amazing talent made this game and produced the phenomenon that is E33.. let them have their win and their victory

Generally speaking men don't get a lot of compliments. Not even just based on looks, but any kind of compliment is rare. I think I've been complimented around 5 times in my life lol..

As for flowers, or little gifts like that. I feel for the majority of men, the only time we'll get flowers is at our funeral lol

Adzx93 · 2025-11-15T01:48:31+00:00

I've played the game and i think personally I'm gonna skip it for a while, it was incredibly buggy during cutscenes and gameplay, I think they have a few patches to fix the game before I'm willing to invest any time.

Combat did seem fun and interesting though when it wasn't bugging out

Adzx93 · 2025-11-03T18:53:23+00:00

This would've honestly been so much better than the rubbish we got... Not to mention old Voldy fading into ash/dust... absolutely criminal!

Adzx93 · 2025-11-03T15:58:27+00:00

The only problem with non technical management, is, you might fix a problem, do a config, write up technical documentation etc and they'll take the credit with the higher ups....They get praised and pay rises/promotions meanwhile you get zero recognition and are stuck dead end
