I have a lab. She’s 30kg and the textbook “good girl” - a decent depiction of the breed standard.
I got her because her terperment was semi predicted in line with her breed, but I still have public liability insurance and don’t let her approach kids because she’s still a dog.
Over here, especially in urban areas, it’s expected that your dog doesn’t approach others. Aggressive behaviour doesn’t fly. Aggressive dogs on lead are accepted if the owner has complete control, but anything beyond that isn’t ok.
A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.
I just use my teeth and it horrifys anyone I’m with…
Jokes on them though, because I’m the one with an open beer.
People need to live within their means. It’s not a human right to go get drunk every weekend. If you can’t afford it, you stay home.
I get paid 4 weekly so get 13 pays a year.
Even better if you keep schtoom about it and automate your work from home job allowing you to just chill for most of the day.
I joined a " we are family" company and got shouted at by the founder because I wasn’t a mind reader and didn’t do something I had no idea needed done.
Sounds exactly like family, except I was hired into the position of toddler.
Fuck that noise.
In Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.
People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.
My next door neighbour has a dog that just screams and wails all day. It sounds horiffic, but because it’s got food water and shelter and doing it in the day time when his owners are at work it’s ok (says the local authority).
The only benefit to an automatic is being able to eat a burrito while driving.
Still doesn’t outweigh the niceness of driving a manual.
I work on websites and have carried out extensive user testing to get the right non-binary honorific, and it ended up being Mx.
Implemented it on every site I’ve worked on now.
I see you also are a project manager.
It’s always fun to answer the door to JW when you’re a goth. They’re already in a state of panic before you’ve opened your mouth.
It’s clear you have never met a woman…

Also has a life because WOMEN CAN MULTITASK APPARENTLY.
The sentiment is different now though around becoming unwell with one of these diseases. They’ll argue they caught it from vaccine shedding rather than naturally so it will just make them even more psychotic on the antivax soapbox.
Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for by rocket powering our regression in modern medicine.
As the owner of 3 insured pets, 2 of which need ongoing complicated care, it’s easy to see that vets are overworked and underappreciated.
My local practice was recently taken over by a UK chain and it’s obvious. I asked (before) if supplements were worthwhile, and was told that there was no clinical evidence for them and lifestyle changes were more impactful. After the buy out, I was led to the front where an enormous stand of supplements sat and was urged to consider the very expensive options after a consult that showed the lifestyle choices were having a great impact on quality of life.
It’s a real shame. I got a call later in the evening yesterday with results for my currently unwell cat and I know that vet had been there for 12 hours at that point.
I’ll never grudge the money I spend on them because I’d sell my car before seeing them suffer but I can see how many would become disenfranchised after working in the reality of modern veterinary medicine.
From someone who once drank an ashtray on a pub bet, I’ve definitely drank some worse coffees.
It’s not just about the p-value being more than 95%, the power also needs to be above 80% and we need to have run for at least a business cycle.
