Who could have predicted this!?!?? Why weren't we warned?

Does it not? It still does in my experience. Our company has these weird company wide meetings where they tell us how they're doing great, everything's great, but because growth isn't "double digit" due to inflation so there is a pay freeze. (I'd love even a less than double digit pay rise - even though that's still a pay cut with inflation).

Pretty much exactly what you are saying. Employees are grumbling, but don't want to get laid off and are uncertain about the job market.

God, I don't miss exams every single year for 7 years straight

 

Don’t know if anyone is interested. I normally do videos on car restoration, but decided to film myself building a new garage.

God, I wish there were more "X of the week" type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I'm exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.

I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don't have the energy for serial TV shows these days!

After a while I just found it too stressfully destructive to keep watching!

My wife's grandmother went through chemo and was so happy when her hair grew back naturally curly and she never had to get a perm again. Was nice for something to make her happy after it all!

Building a garage. Concrete pour went well, which is what I was stressing the most about. Not I'm just gradually laying blocks on evening and lunchtimes. It's exhausting doing a day's work then cooking, then spending hours building walls - but it's very rewarding seeing it slowly turn into a garage.

Grew up in Yorkshire where we will shorten anything but an "o" sound, which instead becomes very long. So scone rhymes "stone", with extra "o".

should say that I’m speaking in terms of epistemology and counterargument. I’d much rather you just acknowledge the obvious truth and move on rather than try further to contort the evidence to make Redditors not racist. Some arguments are fun, but this one is tedious.

Yeah, you're right, I agree with what you've said. It is a racist slur, regardless of the source.
