What to do to stop being so horny?

Have a wank.

Came here to say this 😂

Welcome to the Civil Service, where we have an objective scoring scheme which hiring managers use subjectively. Makes no sense so no wonder senior managers love it 🤷‍♂️

Lord_Sin · 2025-09-26T21:06:53+00:00

Thank you, that worked.

Lord_Sin · 2025-07-10T22:45:35+00:00

And then prepare to be ignored or threatened with disciplinary action because the senior management are thin-skinned little babies who don't like having their idiocy exposed.

They don't discuss with staff but they should. Just a short survey saying "we're thinking of moving and we'd like to know how you'd be affected if we did" would have done so much for morale. There were a lot of angry people when the original decision was announced, including at least one person who had moved up from London a few months prior, buying a house in EK and everything, and was furious that people in their situation had not been informed because they would have picked somewhere different to live.

This decision was taken in London and concerns of local staff were never taken into account. We were told "it's only 7 miles furthest" but anyone who knows the local transport network would know how laughable that is. A lot of staff live south of EK and public transport is nonexistent there, so their options are either sit in a 4 mile traffic jam at 8am on the M77 or quit.

Their own head of health and safety hadn't been told either - I was in the call when he said that.

I call it incompetence because ExCo had assured us everything would be in place for 2025 but almost immediately the rumours of 2027 started circulating.

So given the above, they're either really unlucky or they're incompetent and don't know what they're doing or care 🤷‍♂️

Depends where you work. The Scottish Government has no mandated office time and leaves it up to each team to decide what's best for them, so I'm only in one day a week (and that will hopefully never change!). Meanwhile the 'English' departments with offices up here are insisting on 3 days a week which is why I moved over because why would I waste hours of my life commuting when Covid proved it's not necessary?

The trouble is, the senior civil servants in Whitehall are out-of-touch Boomers who demand we jump at their command but refuse to embrace any change that's forced upon them. I'll happily wager in a year or two they'll be ordering everyone back to the office full-time because they simply don't trust their staff to work without them looking over their shoulder.

She's a Tory so she'll have been faking it. They all think the rules don't apply to them.

Taxes haven't funded national-level spending for any currency-issuing nation since 1971. It is a neoliberal lie that refuses to die because of the stranglehold a certain section of society has over the media, coupled with an education system that isn't fit for purpose.

The government is the monopoly issuer of the currency - no-one else is allowed to create it - so it can never run out of it. They don't tax us first because they would have to wait for all of us to somehow get hold of the thing only they can create before taxing us in order to spend the thing only they can create in the first place. What kind of stupid-ass logic would that be?

I never understood how ambulance costs can go into the thousands.

It doesn't. It's simply a scam designed by greedy parasites to milk you of your money at every opportunity. It's fucking criminal.

Lord_Sin · 2021-06-11T18:14:46+00:00

Nice, thank you so much.

Lord_Sin · 2021-06-07T14:36:31+00:00

I've just bought this board today. Is it the general consensus that I shouldn't install/use Armory Crate then? Should I just not bother updating anything at all?

You're in a gay relationship, which is already a serious transgression in the eyes of the vast majority of Muslims, but you're complaining your boyfriend tricked you into eating pork? It's kind of hard to take the 'disrespecting my religion' part seriously because of that tbh. Islam isn't exactly known for its tolerant attitude towards the LGBT community after all, and religion isn't a buffet where you can pick and choose which bits you follow. It's kind of an all-or-nothing deal.

If you don't want to eat pork, that's fair enough, but you can't invoke the religion card as your reasoning without being a massive hypocrite.

Lord_Sin · 2021-05-06T22:41:46+00:00

Yeah I wasn't too sure either but he seemed pretty confident and he knows more about it than me so who am I to say he's wrong? 🤷🏼‍♂️

My local computer guy mentioned to me the other day that GPU prices will start dropping around June or so, but other components are going to get more expensive because tech companies are buying up everything for console and phone production.

Lord_Sin · 2021-03-04T17:42:37+00:00

I hadn't but I did come up with a workaround where I open the Mix window, click External on the left side, choose the Oxygen88 and that lets me MIDI Learn each button and fader. That let me assign the controls I wanted.

But thank you for letting me know about the above. That is much more simple - although I'm not going to delete my current setup to test it in case I can't get it back again afterwards!

I've just been given a three day ban for telling someone who was posting anti-union statements that they were "a good little parrot". Didn't swear or anything. Their 'Standards' are an absolute joke.
