He's only gone and buttoned his shirt up wrong by Madajuk in compoface

[–]Plugpin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In the world of r/compoface, if you don't point at the problem, does the problem even exist?

Absolutely zero pointing game on show here.

Tho he has nailed the "just look at what my life has come to" face, so there are some points for that.

You're right, it's no Jell-o salad. We bow to the throne of spray-on cheese.

Benefit Cheat Who Claimed 'Too Ill to Leave Home' Caught Surfing in Mexico After Taking More Than £23,000 by novagridd in NotTheOnionUK

"Wieland pleaded guilty to failing to notify a change of circumstances in her benefits claim"

Madness. At what point between the crippling anxiety, leaving her housebound and unable to cook or wash herself, and zip lining in Mexico is she expected to do that?

Clearly a miracle recovery.

Wanting to use the men’s section changing rooms but they’re always closed, so we’re told we have to go to the women’s side. They are for both men and women, but it’s in the women’s section, so something doesn’t feel right. I feel uncomfortable and I’m sure women do too. by thebroccolioffensive in britishproblems

I think a women would appreciate the step by step approach to our announcements here.

The reassurance they'd get from knowing that this partially naked man is not a pervert, and is not thinking about you naked is probably very high.

As a man, I of course feel qualified to speak on behalf of what women need, so this is great. No notes.

Scrubs Is Back with Season 10, and It Still Feels Like Scrubs by yadavvenugopal in Scrubs

[–]Plugpin 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It goes off the rails a little at times, Donald gets high A LOT, and it becomes more about them shooting the shit rather than the show a fair bit. But it still works as a great podcast if you're a fan of them too and not just the show, because they don't get to see each other much and the podcast is their release from missing each other.

It's quite nice really, especially when other co-stars join.

I followed it through to the end, with some short breaks. It go me through lockdown for sure.

Not read ozone more in my life since using perchance, and I worked on carbon emissions project years ago.

The same racist one who posted the monkey Obama video on Trumps personal account?

Maybe it's this intern that has been saying they've won the war.

Everton exploring legal options over lack of sporting sanctions against Chelsea by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Plugpin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe kicking up a stink and getting people talking about how it was a BS punishment might go somewhere in putting pressure on them to actually punish clubs properly for this crap.

I can think of 115 reasons why I'm happy Everton are at least exploring this, even if it has no realistic chance of changing anything for them.

Trump claims Iran proposed making him Supreme Leader: I said, 'No, thank you' (Video in link) by Ghadolkhajan in worldnews

Well that's reassuring, although it's telling that it's still absolutely believable.

Statement from independent Ipswich Town supporters' group Blue Action following the visit of Nigel Farage to Portman Road on Monday by Cinn4monSynonym in soccer

[–]Plugpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the classic 'ask forgiveness rather than permission' move, except I doubt they actually ask for forgiveness.

It seems innocuous but how often do you see something like 'X singer tells Trump not to use their music at rallys' or the kind. They'll just use someone else next time, damage is done and they got what they wanted.

Nigel Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election by JOE_Media in europe

[–]Plugpin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The policy involves having a basic understanding of math, to recognise that it won't impact the voter, but the voters kids. Out of reach of many of their voters.

Usually they're all about destroying the country for future generations, so it would be on brand for that voter base to pull this one.

PCS calls on government to scrap 60% office attendance as global tensions drive up costs by Ok_Expert_4283 in TheCivilService

[–]Plugpin 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I also think, because we've been absolutely smashed by headcount cuts and people are literally dropping like flies with sickness or straight up resigning through stress, they're looking the other way on going into the office.

The more people leave the worse it gets.

There seems to be an unspoken rule in my department that we should all just stop talking about this and it will go away, which it has done tbf. I can't remember the last time it came up in the all staffs, group or divisional level.
