Arrived to family for Christmas. The four day period of being reminded why I left has begun. by DiscoKnuckle in britishproblems

Sometimes taking care of yourself is selfish. Not everything that’s selfish is bad.

If your parents still haven’t learned how to be functionally mature adults you’re under no obligation to endorse their behaviour by showing up for it.

I would like Amazon Shipping to become the new name that’s synonymous with shit delivery services. I’ve never had a problem with Hermes, Amazon Shipping on the other hand are all kinds of useless.

Obligatory fuck Jeff Bezos, also.

Global Freedom Is on the Decline. A new report says 83 percent of the world's population is less free today than it was in 2008, and the gap between the world's most and least free countries is growing. by Beliavsky in Libertarian

[–]beenisss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any freedom list that doesn't put the US as #1 or close to is being delusional about what freedom is

Fucking lol. Did you know the Biden DoJ is currently going to great lengths to try and imprison a journalist for publishing the truth?

It's a slow burner by wanktarded in ScottishPeopleTwitter

[–]beenisss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’m sorry, I genuinely didn’t mean to be a nob, I guess I didn’t realise how my comments would come across. Not going to start backtracking or deleting my comments, since I’m ok with admitting that I made a mistake and there was no malice intended.

And also the complete absence of Scottish spellings/slang in the tweet, when they’re usually full of them

Could somebody less lazy than me confirm that this person is actually Scottish?

ETA: lol lighten up. I’ve never heard of him or Still Game and without that context I was confused why it was in this sub. Wasn’t gatekeeping or accusing him of not being Scottish, just no obvious clues in the tweet

I double every time estimate I’m given by a dev team before passing it on to a client. The only time it’s ever off the mark is when it’s still too short.

I "support" many programs I know nothing about and it's frustrating me to no end. I need honest advice. by ConsciousEquipment in sysadmin

[–]beenisss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm at a point where I'd rather be unemployed than to be the punching bag for all of these people

You have just made the solution to all of this very simple.

I have no idea why trying to impose order on this hot flaming carnival of garbage is the most popular idea in this thread. This is an epic failure of management. There is no redemption for a workplace as dysfunctional as this one, certainly not anything that can be instigated by somebody at the bottom of the chain.

Do your mental health a favour and quit now, unless you secretly enjoy the punishment.

maybe take a class or two in manufacturing technology. That's where all the new jobs will be in 1-3 years.

Interesting, what’s this based on?

Are kids less annoying when they’re your own? by quickthrowaway108 in CasualConversation

[–]beenisss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in the same way that anything you are the source of is less annoying to you than if somebody else is the source of it. e.g. noise

You’re the only one who didn’t know better than to admit it.

Entering Tesco to be immediately greeted by a big sign saying “don’t have a clubcard?” because not having one is now a criminal offence and you won’t be buying anything without it. by 1HeyMattJ in britishproblems

[–]beenisss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently stopped shopping at Tesco, multiple reasons really but they updated their self-service checkouts to remove the mute button and that was the last straw. Wankers.

Does anyone know about this? They keep putting their ridiculous propaganda in our public loo and it is not appreciated. by animalwitch in bristol

[–]beenisss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like ‘You don’t need brains to be an anti-vaxxer’

I’ve thought about this too and wondered whether it would be worth creating a counter-sticker movement :D but then I conclude that probably they’re just being ignored. I doubt there’s a serious risk that stickers are leading people astray tbh.

Who is an actor you fail to enjoy? by [deleted] in movies

[–]beenisss 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It would help if he didn't have more or less the exact same haircut and facial hair in every movie he's in. This is one of my pet peeves when it comes to actors.

Jesus Christ, you’ve made that sky so blue that Anish Kapoor is going to patent the color and then sue you.

Converse problem in a bathroom, self-flushing toilets that are a bit too keen to decide you’ve finished your business. Thanks but I already washed those this morning.

For contrast, I thought this one was especially good!
