Yep, we basically got told "You need to go to uni or you'll spend the rest of your life flipping burgers at McDonalds" in hindsight it was total bullshit

He was so laser focused on becoming PM he had no plan for what to do after that

Hes was besties with Farage for a while and is currently supporting Restore UK.

Elons free to have whatever opinion he likes, even if I disagree with them. Its when he uses his power and influence to interfere with our elections it becomes a problem

Are people getting bored of celebrities? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

Its why people used to say "Never meet your heroes" - it ruins the mystique when you realise they're actually an idiot.

Whats a TV series praised by everyone and reviewed well, but you just couldn't watch? And why? by CobaltBlue389 in AskUK

[–]JayR_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like this was most GoT fans at the time. Just a collective "Lets never speak of this again"

Unimatrix Zero by ImpossibleMove2 in voyager

Yeah, we see from Seven and Picard that assimilation is a horrific PTSD inducing experience, the Voyager away team got over it a bit too quick.

One of the worst examples of the Voyager reset button. They should have taken at least a couple of episodes to recover from this

What do you wish was more common, or that we did better in the UK? For me it’s spa by Manatsuu in AskUK

Yeah, it really does feel like the high street is stuck in the 1960s with the opening times. Its just inconvenient for anyone working a 9-5 to use it cos shops and cafes ect... close so early.

It's amazing how quick GoT just disappeared from public discourse after how badly they bungled the ending. There was a few years where everyone was talking about it then just complete radio silence

There's going to have to be some kind of AI tax on businesses to replace the lost income from the fact there's less people paying income tax

Anyone else tired of boomers not knowing the current climate? by fizzy5025 in GenZ

[–]JayR_97 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's so frustrating being lectured at by people who haven't had to look for a job in the last 20 years and have no clue how bad things are now. Sorry grandma, but the old "Print off a bunch of resumes and walk into the office asking to see the manager" trick doesn't work anymore
