Echo Dot

My company buys it. No idea what they use it for since I work in IT and I don’t use it for anything.

Yes. Being a parent is a matter of personal responsibility. You have to take responsibility for your sprog’s behavior at least until they’re of legal age.

That’s what is involved in being an adult and a parent.

Marks and Spencer’s then

Well at least they’re not all going to London I guess. That’s an improvement.

Although I question the validity of going to a supermarket as a unique experience. Pretty sure everyone has supermarkets.

I think they just mean that it’s not necessary for playing the game. It isn’t like if you know the lore then you can find a secret cave, that gives you access to extra content. It is there for its own sake.

The value add that it gives is entirely dependent on the individual. It would be nice if there was some gameplay reward for reading it.

I just don’t pay attention to what’s going on in the news because it’s just “the world’s ending we’re all going to die”, constantly. And then weirdly 6 months later we’re all still here.

But I’m definitely not going to read The daily star online. It was crap when it was in print form, and it was crap now.

Oh well if your reputable newspaper like the morning star online reports then it must be true.

It’s about time for Boris Johnson to get a new phone I think.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted Boris Johnson to have anything to do with uranium acquisition. Doesn’t really seem the best fit for his personality type.

Although you never know he might irradiate himself and do us all a favor

They prefer to just vamp. I have seen more activism out of my granny.

I don’t think you got that joke did you?

I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on random things Trump idiots say though. The Trump administration basically is a sack of cats as far as discipline goes and people to have a tendency to just say random stuff which isn’t necessarily policy.

There’s very little support for selling arms to Israel. You don’t need international relations with the potential Trump government to really come into it.

That will teach him. He can only have most of the guns, but not all of the guns.

If I can smell it it’s too close to me. You explain to me how it is ridiculous to demand people respect social boundaries Unless of course you’re a person who believes they should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want because they feel like it, in which case you can go walk off a short pier.

Please do better

When we requested flexible working the answer was no and the reason given was the managers have to come in 5 days a week so therefore so does everyone else. Which is such a stupid answer that it beggars believe.

People seem to be consistently in favour of banning anything that they don’t personally partake in.

If that’s your takeaway then you’re an idiot. People can smoke all they like, 50 packs a day if you want. Go for it.

But not near me. In your own house.

They are recommending vaping in exchange for smoking. Come on you’re not even trying to good faith argument at this point, you’re just putting forward nonsense that isn’t true and then backing it up by deliberately misunderstanding basic facts.

People IN pubs and bars already enjoy smoke free air.

Yeah because smoking was banned, and not because the smokers had any decency or concern for everyone else. They quite happily blew smoke to your face.

Yeah bloody government, making laws, making people’s lives better, how dare they.

I liked it back in the old days when 4-year-olds worked down the pit and no one back an eyelid, and then died quietly of tuberculosis. Snowflakes these days…

It’s mentally addictive not physically addictive so no that’s not a defense
