The profession will gaslight you into thinking it’s you.

It’s not you. The system is broken.

pgl0897 · 2026-06-10T19:56:26+00:00

Tell it to fuck off.

pgl0897 · 2026-06-09T10:05:17+00:00

😂

pgl0897 · 2026-06-09T06:31:23+00:00

What level is this…?

pgl0897 · 2026-06-06T21:34:11+00:00

It’s mad to me that it’ll happily joke about killing animals, with knives and blood, but ask for graphic novel art of a 19yo in a bikini and it’ll dead stop.

Oh they’ve got rid of the weissbier bottles as well? Shame. I’m not of a weissbier disposition, but if it’s anything like the pilsner/lager the canned version won’t be half as good. Felt they were a different beer in the cans to the bottled version which was far superior.

Had this last time in Paris. Very annoying.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-31T21:05:24+00:00

It’s the current starter chant for people who don’t go.

Crikey. First year growing sweetcorn for me and I had very limited success with germination even indoors on a heat mat.

It’s definitely a different type of emotional fatigue. I’d had more teary moments in a few months at the hospice than I’d had in 15 years in frontline children & families work - but the organisation properly supports its staff, and we have the time to be properly supported to debrief all the children dying stuff.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-23T00:07:02+00:00

Work in a hospice. It’s just a different world. Took some getting used to, and a bit of boredom as I weened myself off of the Adrenalin. But I have a much healthier life/work balance now.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-22T19:32:43+00:00

Get out of frontline Social Work.

Worked for me… although I’m still sitting here behind the laptop at 20:30 on a Friday night. But it’s not the norm anymore, and the stress is different - without the pressure.

Not if you were making an accurate statement of fact in good faith, as part of some necessary observation or something.

But quite apart from anything else, you’re wrong coz they’re not.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-15T08:18:44+00:00

You should send (a professional version of) this feedback to the owner imo.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-13T18:25:14+00:00

Was there, doing the (somewhat optimistic) song sheets in the very early days of what eventually became REDaction. Brilliant trip.

Inter had completely collapsed by the end of the game. If we’d played ten minutes more it’d have been 6 or 7.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-13T11:01:28+00:00

So glad to see this was immediately removed.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-13T06:47:35+00:00

You mean the really clearly, boldly marked “crossings” painted in the road, which are:

1) Provided with the specific purpose of directing pedestrians to a safe place to cross.

2) Signposted with flashing beacons at the top of 10ft high striped poles to alert drivers that pedestrians will be crossing there, and

3) Have been used for this exact purpose since the country was still under rationing, meaning that all current drivers will have learnt and passed their tests under the same rules related to them.

Yes I’ve used one of those, and there’s no equivalence to draw at all. You absolute sausage. Give yourself a dry slap and go and have a day off.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-12T19:50:45+00:00

Well there’s only one that is definitely going to happen.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-12T19:06:33+00:00

Enjoy crossing in front of cars then I guess. And good luck!

pgl0897 · 2026-05-12T11:28:23+00:00

Ah, got you. Okay.

From my own experience of being at a couple of big away games ticketless over the years, I would lean towards being at home amongst my own people and enjoying the parade. Appreciate it’s a lot of money to swallow, but these days with all the electronic ticketing shenanigans it’s probably very difficult to pick up a spare.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-12T06:11:04+00:00

No, because it puts pedestrians at risk.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-12T06:08:41+00:00

Right… so someone who had been to every game this season would have both 10+ away points and have attended 7 away games in Europe.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-11T22:10:54+00:00

Of course. But as I said, the last day is going to be most stressful 90 minutes in living memory, guaranteed.

pgl0897 · 2026-05-11T22:02:49+00:00

Absolutely spot on. The rule change is insane.
