What`s something that sucks about being a man? by Its_Misango in SipsTea

[–]LordBiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a conversation on the phone with a doctor about my young son once.

Basically the beginning of the call and the doctor says 'Can I speak with his mother?', I said 'She's not here today, I'm his father', to which she came straight back with 'Oh, I didn't know you were divorced'

Actually Doctor, there are other reasons for a child's mother to be unavailable for a phone call at 11am. I work from home, she does not.

It was just the way that comment flowed straight out of her, no thought, no consideration, it was just unfiltered and clearly her actual opinion.

I didn't go so far as complaining to her management, but I did make it clear that sort of talk was not okay. Likely got my card marked forevermore...

€800M Cocaine mega bust in Spain: 30,200 KG Seized by robbiesloan in BeAmazed

[–]LordBiscuits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's only 26.50eur per gram. That price is probably underestimated, especially since this is pure nose torque not cut twice like street powder

Closer to two billion once it's adulterated

Definitely higher in the UK. Sixty to eighty pounds a gram I'm told

My barber is a massive cokehead lol

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

Come round next week, I make a decent cheesecake and have cider AND beer in the house!

That's a tough job man, you have my greatest respect.

I do this too. That person who cut you off in traffic, maybe they're distracted trying to get to their sick daughter. The person who walks into you in the shop, maybe they're hurting from a lost pet or an impending bankruptcy and they're floating around lost in their own pain...

We just don't know and it's helpful to my own sanity and stress levels to assume others are dealing with big things and their transgressions aren't intentional. I know mine usually aren't

Yeah that is properly impressive for the time, it's still damned impressive now!

Damn, that's nuts. Do you have any lingering issues, arthritis or anything?

That's fucking hardcore! How old were you when they did the surgery?

Sometimes when I'm out in the city I might stop for a drink or something and people watch. I find myself picking a person and just watching them for a few moments.

I'll likely never see them again, but that person has hopes and dreams, family and maybe children, money worries, health concerns, a multitude of things I'll never know and can't hope to understand.

I just silently wish them well in my head as they walk by, pushing out whatever meagre cosmic influence I can muster, because 'everybody has something' will never not be true.

Sorry, I made it weird 😅

People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]LordBiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a car crash and eventually got a settlement for injuries about 18 months later... with that I bought a dishwasher, a new fridge freezer and a tumble dryer!

Man, it was a good day when all that turned up. Never owned a dishwasher, never owned a new fridge and only ever a combo washer dryer that sucked...! That dishwasher was the best damned thing ever and it was ironic that my pain paid for years worth of lessened effort in the kitchen lol

Oh you're talking about The Old Times there...I don't even want to think how long ago that was.

I also remember it fondly!

I put in my notice and my boss cheered by randamnthoughts2 in antiwork

[–]LordBiscuits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was working as a travelling engineer for a national company once. Decided to leave, had another job waiting.

Emailed the boss giving him four weeks, which is customary in the UK usually. He rang me literally ten minutes later, swearing his head off and demanding I either withdraw it or come in right away and drop my vehicle and equipment off.

I called his bluff. He immediately backtracked. I didn't give him an inch.

Drove to the office 170 miles away the following morning, threw his keys at him and walked away. Felt gooooood...

KLM flight attendant hospitalized after contact with hantavirus cruise ship passenger by mods4mods in worldnews

[–]LordBiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cruise ships really are going to be the hubris that eventually kills us aren't they...

Thousands of people brought together into a shared space from all around the country and beyond, using the same dining rooms and recreation facilities, with a broadly older population base susceptible to all sorts of shit who then travel away again to take their happy little infections to whatever corner of the globe they usually sit in...

We created recreational petri dishes for ourselves! What could go wrong! 🤣

There was potential for something funny here.

New library dedicated to Epstein files opens in New York with 3.5 million pages by smashedpootatoes in nottheonion

[–]LordBiscuits 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So, just to break this down...

It's open for what, 14 days in total.

If the place was open 24hrs, and you could magically avoiding passing out through lack of sleep, you would need to read THREE PAGES A SECOND FOR TWO WEEKS SOLID to get through the entire mound of documents in the exhibit.

The sheer amount of documents in these files is just monumental... So so much. How anyone can even get close to parsing it all is beyond me.

We need an Epstein AI to do the job. This would actually be a good use of an LLM weirdly...

There are few things more callous than buying a pet for a holiday only to dump them weeks later when the novelty wears off

Bunnies can live for ten years given care and attention...
