Our company runs everything on Azure. We use windows PCs, Visual Studio Professional, C# .Net, outlook, teams, etc.

We make enterprise software and I am happy really. I wasn’t at the start but as time goes on I don’t care, I do my job and go home.

This place is the left wing the Donald I swear to Odin, nobody here checks anything and people just read a headline and have a reaction.

This article is from 2017, article link.

It goes on to say

Dubbed “the homework gap” by researchers, students without the use of reliable internet access at home find it harder to complete and submit homework assignments, further expanding the inequality already seen in low-income communities.

​

So this is to make sure all children have a more even playing field.

Why even post a screenshot of an 8 year old article.

Mine is 90 minutes by car each way, but only twice a week.

I know people that like Trump in the UK and the thing I’ve realised is people don’t check anything, if orange man says something they believe it.

When I’ve been shitting on Trump my friend said yeah but he’s a good business man though and I’m like no he isn’t, he started life on easy mode and has messed that up several times. Hell man can’t even profit from a casino.

Sadly though it doesn’t matter if people are willing to believe a 5 second sound bite and it takes 5 minutes and some knowledge to debunk that claim then it’s futile as they’ll just put out more sound bites.

I find it ironic that in a world with a wealth of information at our finger tips people just don’t care enough to check. I’m not a smart man, but I was gifted with the power of curiosity and a willingness to look up stuff and find the truth. People are just ignorant on the whole and only care about surface level stuff.

The arrested a just as old female vicar a few weeks ago for the same free.

I am from England and I support Palestine action. Come at me pigs.

Halo 2, Minecraft, and Factorio.

Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.

In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.

Examples:

• An apple
• An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
• A goat
• A criminal offence

How do they defend against abuse? Like if someone steals a toaster on their visit how do you know if it was person 1 or person 5 who visited that day? Do they have to have someone to check after each visit? Why don’t they just do the viewing?

Shout out to my local library. Manchester Central Library.

Even has pianos you can play with headphones.

1.6M+ book and volumes. Also holds our records for Manchester going back to like the 1200s. Truly beautiful place and great to just wonder around.

That ain’t a real petition bro. We don’t use comic sans on government sites.

I read that as the governments response was no. Not that they didn’t respond.

The government in the UK will respond if 10,000 signatures and will debate in parliament if 100,000 signatures.

I mean 122,000 out of 60 million isn’t a lot.

Could likely get 5 million to say banning people based on colour is a good idea, but I don’t agree.

Very true and I am glad you’re ok too.

You’re right though as I do the same and just wallow and then you just go lower and lower.

Like I don’t feel like I’m living for a purpose and more I’m occupying time until the end and keeping myself busy. Maybe that’s just life though.

Thank you. I am doing much better but I feel I am always teetering on the edge of being ok and being meh.

Gotta take the wins where you can and try and have fun.

Minecraft and Factorio.

Both mixed in a little IRL depression and I was living vicariously through Steve or making factories.

Luckily I now do 2 days in the office but I have a drive commute of around 90 mins each way and maybe 75 mins in school holidays. For around 9 months without a cat I was taking the tram and train with a walk either end which took around 120-150 mins each way

I could not tolerate that full time but I’ve no doubt many people do.

The fuck!

I worked at McD what of it? If someone’s working and paying bills then don’t judge them.

I’m a software developer now but not only through hard work as I recognise a certain amount of luck played into how I got where I am now and without that I’d still be working minimum wage somewhere.

Same. Same in call centres too. Did some fun stuff like getting colleagues to say a word you have to work into the next call like “spoon” which is easy with a little “good afterspoon”. Or doing dumb shit like pretending we had Tourette’s.

I completely agree. As a software developer I preferred when I had a Mac whereas our company uses Windows and Microsoft for everything and it just meh.

Mac was so easy to do everything from the terminal or the search bar.

They’re all the rage, if you can get a mute one then it’s better otherwise they keep banging on about fair wages and sleep breaks 😩
