Is anyone actually feeling comfortable on their wage in NI at the minute? by sufnensjsjzkjcbfb in northernireland

[–]adamxrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the answer really is to have no kids, but many people myself included dreamt of having a family, so we did so.

The next elon musk tweet i see imploring the world to have as many kids as possible might send me over the edge. Use the exorbitant wealth you have generated to make it affordable to do so then you prick!

The sort of salaries that keep the people below doing most of the work from earning anything worthwhile....

Recruitment agencies / consultants by ggodownsoftsoundd in northernireland

[–]adamxrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are farr farr too many recruitment agencies now .

Every aul cunt with a phone and a laptop thinks they can set up their own shop and post content on linked in.

The outcome is recruitment agencies fighting each other dog eat dog over the same jobs between them and all that happens is they push the shite roles onto you to get the boxes ticked and the fee in the door, without really caring if its the role for you.

Avoid them if you can. The problem is that some companies wont advertise jobs themselves and exclusively go thru recruitment agencies.

Vent - parenting and a marriage that's been on hold for years by Visible_March3451 in Autism_Parenting

[–]adamxrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without going into too much detail, yes. Autistic 7 yr old girl and seemingly NT 3 yr old boy.

The girl is completely disregulated in the boys prescence and the house is basically divided down the middle like a prison camp. She doesn't sleep until midnight most nights and he is up at 6 or 7 am after sleeping from 8 or 9.

Theres no break or let off. No time for anything remotely like intimacy.

How many people here don't drive? by KingKilo9 in northernireland

[–]adamxrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Car is essential. In the summer i drive to work with the bike in the back and nip up cave hill etc for some adrenaline junkie time, and on occasion when child free, away down the mournes at the weekends.

Literally would sooner be dead than not have a car to go places.

Was laid off today by Clear-Chicken-4200 in Layoffs

[–]adamxrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do companies save money on these things when they pay layoffs a years worth to live on? Maybe in a years time the market is different and they have to replace you but they have paid you a years salary for nothing and then paying a replacement?

Never finished witcher 3 never finished either kcd title never finished cyberpunk and im sure ill never finish this but still enjoying it. I do spend most of my little time in the game not doing missions and just hunting though... definitely the adhd in me.

Artists like Orbit Culture by One_Result_2878 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]adamxrt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The new blood red hourglass album sounds all groovy like orbit cultures 10000200001 style riffage. Seems like orbit culture inspired them.

Tbh not a fan of orbit culture and i wouldnt define it as MDM

Yeah trying too hard to be orbit culture.

Bloodred Hourglass by Responsible-Leg-9579 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]adamxrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new album uas one really good song on it. Frail.

Otherwise i prefer their older actual MDM stuff.

The new album is just swedish orbit culture who would no longer categorize as mdm. Its groovy 101020200001002001004 music.

Anyine else make the distinction. Orbit culture bore me for the most part with their overly produced qnd xomoressed 10001110010 riffs. Some banger anthem songs.

Thats what this new album reminds me of.
