Being TA, as they say on Reddit, is cool and funny when you're 12 and your peers are also 12.

When you're an adult, it just makes you look like a fool. Nobody will want you in their neighbourhood. Nobody will want you in their team or workplace. You're the one everyone talks about behind your back – and the one everyone is secretly glad they don't have to interact when you're on holiday or off sick. Let that sink in.

If you still think like a 12 year old when you're 16, I pity you. If you're over 21... how do you even expect to get on in life?

sorry but in my opinion this is so rude

I have been in all kinds of jobs before I became an office administrator.

It was gruelling, because my department was the most underfunded in the organisation – and I was the only administrator not "looking busy".

So, yes. I agree. Those of us who have been customer facing can do a bloody good job anywhere.

Also, the ones who go into a job because they expect it to be "cushy" make sure it is, by making work impossible for those who give a damn. Those of us who are not work shy.

I think you're forgetting, though, that nobody cared in the way they do now. You wouldn't have the police going through your recorded VHS tapes. "Sir, you need a healthy recorded/store bought ratio."

My family preferred purchasing real Disney VHS tapes. The quality was better, you couldn't accidentally tape over part of it when you sat on the remote control or whatever. The thing was, those tapes were a luxury you seldom found in bargain bins. I got a Disney tape a year with Christmas money. Most Disney films I had were recorded off the TV and so were any films or series that didn't make it to VHS release.

It was normal and it was not considered the same as piracy. At all.

“To protect their copyright, streaming sites do not allow for screenshotting of any kind.”

Hey remember VHS where you bought a box to plug into your tv and you could legally record whatever was playing and then own it for free forever

Cute little candle behind glass.

My laptop is working again!

To celebrate, I've created a new image. Just something quick and easy, to get me used to the programmes I use again. It has been a while.

I feel like if there’s one bill that shouldn’t be fast-tracked through parliament, it should be the one about assisted dying.

Three Dreamworks films listed are at least 50% owned by British company, Aardman. They own Wallace and Gromit (not just Curse of the Were Rabbit). Chicken Run and Flushed Away are also Aardman/Dreamworks.

They also worked on Pirates! If you look up how it was made, you'll find that it was made with plasticine. They tried CGI and just couldn't get the look they wanted.

We shouldn't have to campaign for change in every little thing. Why are these lights even being manufactured? They should be a thing of the past!

It shouldn't be left to the average man on the street to protest about, petition about, whatever. It's not our job to fight about every little wrong.

There are people being paid to stop harmful crap from even getting designed and built – where the heck are they? What exactly are they doing to earn their keep?

They say the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. I disagree. I say it's mostly paved with apathy and laziness – the people that should don't and everything is left to those with the least power.

its been p common knowledge for decades that light pollution can be massively reduced by just putting shades on streetlamps, and that doing that would save energy, help wildlife, and let us see the stars better, but are society says if u wanna change any minor little tiny thing u gotta dedicate ur whole life to campaigning for it and this is a good ways down the list of priorities for most ppl, so instead i gotta walk past newly-installed streetlamps that are just dumb glass globes that use half their electricity to blast half their light directly into the sky where it does only bad things for no reason and think "we should overthrow the government"

Labour: Killing the Poor to Feed the Rich

It amazes me that there has not been a loud, public outcry. At the very least, in Britain. Some are talking about this and it seems to be becoming a talking point.

Unfortunately, for many, it comes all too late.

Please, watch Owen Jones first, as he explains what is going on:

And now hear what Sir Kier Starmer said about the hardships faced by pensioners before his party – a party supposedly "for the poor and hardworking of our nation" – came in and made matters worse.

Basically, pensioners who have worked hand to mouth all their lives are now going to die, because Labour would rather support the rich than those who are most vulnerable.

They could have gone for the rich. They decided to take from the poor and the vulnerable instead.

This isn't the only thing going on that is unjust. Owen Jones mentioned in passing that even more young families are going to be thrust into poverty this Christmas as well – as if the last few years haven't been miserable enough. You are encouraged to look into that too.

I would also like to take a moment to add that this masterpiece of a video is on Sir Kier's YouTube channel. It was posted on the 26th of May 2024 – a month before he was voted in. The video is called: "Pensioners deserve security in retirement. That's what Labour will deliver."

In fairness to the Mini... the first model was a 1960s (not '70s) car designed for those that couldn't afford to own a car. I love the Mini of the '60s!

The monstrosity of the 21st Century was created by a completely different company, after the original Mini was sold off and ceased to be manufactured. Yes, the logo is the same, but this is not – by any means – the same car. It's like four musicians buying the name "The Beatles" and touring the world with gear emblazoned with the original branding on it – and not even attempting to play the originals' music.

Im not autistic about cars or makes or models but I AM autistic about crumple points and field of vision and blindspots and conflict points. do you understand. urban design, anti car dependency/anti car centric infrastructure, and so cars themselves are part of that interest. because car design is urban design. cybertrucks SUCK as cars and also dont function well in infrastructure thats designed to care about people. there are good cars and vehicles that are designed good and fit well with good urban design

tfw you see some stupid post that paints medieval peasants eating just plain grey porridge and acting as if cheese, butter or meat was too exotic or expensive for them, and have to use all your inner strength to not just reblog it with an angry rant and throwing hands with people. so i will just post the angry rant here

no, medieval people did not only eat grey porridge with no herbs or spices, they had a great variety of vegetables we dont even have anymore, grains and dairy products, not to mention fruits and meats, all seasonal and changing with the time of the year. no, medieval food was not just tasteless, maybe this will surprise some of you but you can make tasty food without excessive spice use, and can use a variety of good tasting herbs. if you'd ever tried to cook some medieval recipes you would know that. medieval people needed a lot of energy for their work, if they would only eat fucking porridge all of the time they would get scurvy and die before they could even built a civilisation. they had something called 'pottage' which was called that because it was cooked in one pot. you could leave the pot on the fire and go about your day, doing stuff and come back to a cooked meal. they put in what was available that time of the year, together with grains, peas, herbs, meat etc etc. again, if you would try to make it, like i have with my reenactment friends, it can actually be really good and diverse.

dont confuse medieval peasants with poor people in victorian england. dont think that TV shows what it was really like. dont think that dirty grey dressed people covered in filth were how the people looked like.

they made use of everything. too poor to buy proper meat? buy a sheeps head and cook it. they ate nettle and other plants we consider weeds now. they foraged and made use of what they found. hell, there are medieval cook books!

most rural people had animals, they had chickens (eggs), goats (milk and dairy), cows (milk and dairy), sheep (milk and dairy) and pigs (meat machine), and after butchering they used ALL THE PARTS of the animal. you know how much meat you can get out of a pig, even the smaller medieval breeds? the answer is a lot

if you had the space you always had a vegetable garden. there are ways to make sure you have something growing there every time of the year. as i said they had a variety of vegetables we dont have anymore due to how farming evolved. you smoked pork in the chimney, stored apples in the dry places in your house, had a grain chest. people could go to the market to buy fish and meat, both fresh and dried/smoked. they had ale, beer and wine, that was not a luxury that was a staple part of their diet.

this post ended once again up being longer than i planned, but please for the love of the gods, just actually educate yourself on this stuff and dont just say stupid wrong shit, takk

Ted Cassidy’s window cameo as Lurch from The Addams Family with Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin in the Batman episode entitled The Penguin’s Nest, originally broadcast by ABC on December 7th, 1966. Batman and The Addams Family were both ABC shows, and Cassidy reprised his role as Lurch on Batman after The Addams Family was cancelled by the network (the show’s final episode had aired earlier that year on April 8th, 1966).
