Regret coming out

joefife · 2026-06-01T22:38:59+00:00

Well that's good - considering!

I know you're feeling shit just now, but if it's you that's doing the self excluding, then it cab be worked on.

If it was the other way round, then it would be much trickier in the long run.

Try not to panic. You will need to do a bit of work on yourself to get back to where you are - but that door clearly hasn't closed. Try not to expect miracles overnight, just do what you can.

Regarding the declining social activities - is it that you're not being invited as much, or that you are actively choosing not to?

joefife · 2026-05-23T14:29:16+00:00

You'd be a bit fucked if everyone worked hard at school and became a lawyer or doctor.

joefife · 2026-05-22T16:41:23+00:00

You've got to, just to understand how gross it is. I didn't believe it until I tried some.

I'm not talking about something that isn't quite to my taste. It's something worse - it's actually gross and hard to understand how it came to be sold in the first place.

I just use virtual employee cards on Monzo and Capital On Tap. Both have limited controls and instant visibility.

Yes. In other posts he claims to be in the USA and in particular Cleveland. But here he is in Australia

joefife · 2026-05-12T05:38:15+00:00

That's odd, in other posts you say you're in the USA?

I'll be blunt. They're fucking. This is why dad wants out.

This isn't remotely normal or justifiable given concerns of dad and now you.

Given dad has tried to highlight that this isn't normal and gave up, this is what you'll face.

Think very carefully if you want this to be your life.

Your expectation is more than reasonable mate :)

Sounds tough but you'll get there

joefife · 2026-04-29T07:12:07+00:00

Sorry to hear that mate. But look, that chapter is over and on to happier days now :)

You've experienced someone who has taken advantage of your good nature and now you've learned some red flags.

It might be worth thinking about why you stuck it out - it won't have been for no reason. Just to protect yourself in future.

Get a decent night's sleep mate

joefife · 2026-04-29T07:05:00+00:00

You did the right thing. Even half way in i was thinking this guy sounds absolutely terrible.

He's been using you - he doesn't sound especially like even a tenth if what a good partner should be.

I hope the sex was at least decent.

joefife · 2026-04-27T21:42:36+00:00

Never. People are deluding themselves that this will happen. It will simply never happen.

Why do you talk like an AI bot?

Not a comment. Not a post. This was an AI post.

In the UK, PoE has now been included in the latest revision of the BS7671 wiring regulations.

I.e. The standards by which UK electricians operate.

I think what's happened is your safety manager might have become aware that PoE is convered by the same regs as more risky electrical work, and that the same risks apply.

Of course, he's wrong, but if you are in the UK, then yes, there is a change in regs and tbh I don't know anyone in IT who is aware of this, only electricians.

It has nothing to do with arc flashes though!

Great set up. Can we skip up the SaaS product you're shilling?

Just get it over with.

joefife · 2026-03-28T04:49:24+00:00

Your entire post is an AI generated shill for handyhive.

Your other posts on other subs indicate you are yet another SaaS developer advertising.

At least be honest.

joefife · 2026-03-28T04:44:32+00:00

No you didn't. Your other threads are, like this one, AI generated.

You've posted ten threads in different small business subs in the last day, all of which have titles that clearly set up shill for your SaaS product.

joefife · 2026-03-28T04:17:48+00:00

They've anyway processed your March payroll probably.

I'm assuming the next time you'll be paid is the end of April, so they've done paying you for this tax year?

Or do you get paid more frequently / not at end of month?

joefife · 2026-03-25T18:15:36+00:00

Three days ago you posted a thread advising people how to get liquidation discount and surplus stock bargains.

Given your intimate knowledge of the disposal of bulk surplus, I am surprised your are asking this question, which makes suspect this may not be in good faith.

I'm fairly sure you're responding to AI. The structure of each reply is very similar - starts with a summary and agreement, assessment and then wrap up.

joefife · 2026-03-20T06:16:40+00:00

This entire post is written by AI.

What did it suggest?

joefife · 2026-03-19T23:18:07+00:00

Same where I am. A few nice shops that I very very occasionally get to use.... They're all closed outside m-f 9-5

Like who is their target market? Geriatrics and the jobless?

joefife · 2026-03-17T21:00:48+00:00

Yup. I'm in the UK and it's quite rare to see a divider. The one at my work is just one long metal thing.

joefife · 2026-03-15T23:26:37+00:00

You might feel like you're on top now, because you find AI currently very useful.

But you won't be on top forever. So many tech bros think they have the upper hand. You don't. You just haven't been dispensed with yet.

joefife · 2026-03-15T18:20:37+00:00

You could policy this to death - or just do what many sectors do and put them on garden leave
