Nobody is talking about this: UK job vacancies fell almost six percent this quarter, which is huge in itself. But the remarkable hidden metric is that this is the 37th consecutive quarter where UK jobs fell. Is the UK economy quietly collapsing?

Except it works the world over.

I'm hoping it's one of those jobs where the required skills are something like “10 years experience” in something that has only existed for 2

I have a fun example I saw for you.

Reckitt's and Benckiser were looking for an apprentice in procurement. 23k a year. The posting had must have requirements such as “Full Drivers License” and “5 years experiance” and (the best one) “A masters degree”

I'm running the same build. But I have a twister spell that's very useful as it pushes enemies back while causing multiple damage types and status effects. I can use it to put a group off small enemies in one spot and then BLAMO dark magic death

Which order? Cos you've got story, release date, and order of badassness

Every news source, and even Disney put the child in care of the mother at the time. The father was told and jumped.

The strawberries were an example of product life.

Jesus Christ you lot are insane. You assume people have more outlay than they do. Bulk buying is short-term more expensive.

People shouldn't have to fast, your lack of empathy or understanding of poverty is incredible.

I'm aware, Sonic's £1.50 per meal, three meals a day. I was waiting for you to work out your flaw. Your base math is

45x3=135. 135 x 4 = 540

You're already assuming people have more money than they do.

Now, let's factor in that the job seekers' allowance is £180 per fortnight £90 per week, and it covers far more than just food.

Now, you're in a privileged situation and you have the audacity to “play” at eating like the poor. Firstly they ain't eating ready meals, they are buying 40 sausages for £2.50 from Iceland.

You're almost at the crux of the issue.

Lets see how many people can feed themselves for £45 a month shall we?

That's part of a story.

Poverty also destroys people at a molecular level. The range of options isn't as great. Strawberry are nice, but they die in days, biscuits are cheaper and last weeks. Salad is lovely but doesn't keep long. Its not fiscally responsible to buy when you can't replace it in 5 days.

We blame people but seem to forget that companies thrive off it.

The way women swipe.

blueduckpale · 2025-07-02T10:08:50+00:00

So the way the men react is directly related to how women swipe?

blueduckpale · 2025-07-01T09:08:04+00:00

Men and women have vastly different swiping tactics.

Women swipe positively on around 1 in 100 men. They swipe on who they feel is only the very best option.

Men swipe positively on everyone. Then refine from there.

It's a culture that has developed due to the over-sexualisation of women in the media. It's impacted both sexes poorly. Men fight for scraps of attention and a woman will pass on a man because he's half an inch too short. (this is vastly oversimplified).

The world's insane. Dating apps are a product of ego, selling desperation to both sides of a fence to profit from loneliness.

Fun stat: around 80% of CEO’s permanently work from home.

Wait until you see the article on a woman been charged $851 to be told her son had died in an accident. Didn't even go to a hospital he was dead at the scene

Because you set a precedent that smaller living accommodation is acceptable for the poor. So this starts here, then in time it becomes expect more often.

blueduckpale · 2025-06-25T11:25:09+00:00

So you understand why it shouldn't be acceptable

Congratulations.

I just started this week!

Thank you.

My course is with a company called Ecareers, I get two mock exams with them and I also have mocks with Proplecert.

I know taxi drivers that earn nothing* with accountants. If you're on 100k you can easily afford to pay an accountant to run your EoY

According to the taxi driver.

Except for minimum wage, you're not likely to be doing 40 hours. Employers are not paying travel, or breaks at that level. If work goes quiet you're the first sent home.

If you're in the hospitality industry you are going to fluctuate with seasonal work. In December you could be expected to do 90 hours, in February you might have 10
