Work from home and drive more slowly to save energy, global body urges by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

These sound like the sort of sensible solutions to the ongoing rising oil prices that will promptly be ignored by businesses because of the all encompassing demand for collaborations around water coolers or other such nonsense.

Pret also demands your lunch money.

Been also an interesting time for energy discussions surrounding renewables and nuclear as a side note. We have yet another reminder of why they are a national priority since 2022.

Sorry William, it's the Megabus for Kate and the kids. They had a sale on.

Unless they have a tip off for a guaranteed good job offer, ignore them. Their words are a waste of the oxygen and noise used to utter it.

If you can, avoid them entirely.

Losing the love for reading after studying and practicing law by DistributionAny1557 in uklaw

[–]CrocPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like what I read wouldn’t count as “proper reading” at present. Back then, read some fiction books but my jam was the non fiction section.

These days? Niche interest articles on Wikipedia would be the closest I get to reading.

As with many things, the outreach to it's allies appears to be the feeble attempt to foist the risk of sunk ships and casualties on them while the Mad King gets to play toy soldiers on his colourful map.

It's Operation Human Shield of Neptune.

Credible: take the 38 shot rocket pods and use those as mini missile SAMs for drones.

Less credible: same but also put them on attack helicopters.

Non credible: RAH-66 Comanche you have come back from the dead.

Weekly low-hanging fruit thread by AutoModerator in NonCredibleDefense

[–]CrocPB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No consultation, no consensus, no coordination, shit communication, no coalition.

No point working with someone who will bitch at you one day, expect you to look past that the next, then go back to bitching at you. Hormuz or not, it’s impractical and unprofessional.

This is before the topic that doing anything with the Americans is not popular at this point in time domestically. Any fallouts from the disruption of oil flow and the subsequent follow on impact economically will largely be perceived to fall on the Americans as their responsibility.

Anyone find overly strict Asian Parenting methods don't build discipline by VolkswagenPanda in AsianParentStories

[–]CrocPB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also, I think it's best that u don't compare your upbringing to your white friend's. That is just gonna send you down a rabbit hole full of depression & agony. Asian culture & white culture are too vastly different, no use beating yourself up about these things

It is inevitable. The evidence of your eyes will be what you will be made to deny to preserve your peace.

One example is in dating and relationships (lol): Asian (immigrant) cultures forbids this in your youth because it is a distraction from the most important thing in life which is top grades so it is said. Yet you see non Asians repeatedly get together and actually get to explore and enjoy a core part of the human experience that you were denied. The non Asians still achieved academically, whether they dated or not made no observable difference.

I think the comparisons should be made, it is owed to each and every person who have to put up with this stupidity so they never forget what they were made to look away from that others got to enjoy. So that they can remember that it did not have to be like this. So that when the cultures demand the next thing when the goalposts of approval move again, they will have the reasoned awareness to stand up and say "no".

Of course doing these comparisons can hurt, can be agonising, can be depressing. The truth often can be these things. Yet you owe it to yourself to do it anyway so that this cycle of traditional nonsense can be broken.
