I work for my local government and everybody means well but are hampered by a lack of funding. I complete a statutory required role, that is one of the two key performance indicators and it needs 2 people full time and I’m the only person on it.

I know some of these words.

You are describing destruction Derby.

And now I feel old.

Its very concentrated here and it is so often lefty nutters. Or certainly my exposure to it is acute on Lemmy compared to my day to day living.

This place is heaving with nutters.

So are actual numbers of users down?

90pc of any google search is someone thinking im going to watch 4 minute video for the paragraph of text i require.

The first thing to go on a washing machine is usually the bearings. Most washing machines now have their bearings attached to the drum, so to replace the bearing, the whole drum has to be replaced. Replacing the drum is near the entire cost of a new washing machine and you will likely have to pay for 0.5 to .75 days worth of labour to have the old drum replaced too.

Yeah fuck these shinty designs to force consumers into buying and dumping otherwise easily repairable and reusable machines.

I go on twitter now and 3/4 of adverts are AI scams or 2009 click bait with fuckin community notes explaining that remembering a set of politicians names is not linked to hi iq, as claimed by the clickbait advert.

Then there is the ‘verified’ accounts that are doing genuine harm at misinformation spread.

Yeah I’m not trusting ol musky chuckles with my money. And that’s coming from someone who uses traditional banks despite having witnessed their government bail out banks multiple times after they were fucking reckless to the point of needing a bailout.

Council’s are understaffed and underpaid, a four day week could easily be the new pay rise.

Wouldn’t it be just for that missile?

This is what people said with password sharing though.

Adverts set to 137pc volume is absolutely crackers.

Oh sheesh I hipe this doesn’t change on the Web browser.

This is a terrible arguement. It has the premise that all ice are going to be scrapped at once and we will just make a bazillion electric cars. It’s a phase out thing.

Also quieter cars and no tailpipe emissions are fantastic.

Ads have gotten way worse in quality. I keep seeing stuff that makes Temu look like top tier. Recently community notes jhave added context noting these adverts are for dropshipping services and there is no guarantee you will get the advertised product.

That and so many funking places wanting my email to send me top tips on life, money, crypto or w.e.

I’m genuinely glad when I see a normal funking advert for pizza or a charity or a film, there’s something happening with that dicaprio guy and scorsee director.

How?

On all the shorts etc showing sanction life in Russia, not one has mentioned burger King is still there.

Heights.

I can function at height if I’m on my own but im all thumbs and feel like I weigh 250lbs more. Add any people to the mix and my body starts squatting and the running joke is i look like I’m laying an l egg. I’ll end up walking in an odd half crouch crab like way. Common example is being on a raised walkway, by a pier, canals, climbing stairs of attractions like a fire tower or an old building, ramparts of castles etc.

I did a bungee jump once and the worst part was crab crouching across the gangway that was suspended beneathe the bridge,. Once I was in the basket awaiting my jump, i was fine as i could sit down and I was all strapped in, the jump was easy!
