Sen. John Fetterman on Republicans trying to impeach Biden: 'Go ahead, do it. I dare you.'

  • I’m not OP and I’m not American so I don’t know anything about his policies, but I know he suffers from depression and has been very open about it. I believe he checked himself into a psych facility not long after he was elected. I thought his honesty and openness about it as a man with a kinda macho image was refreshing to see and a good example against toxic masculinity.

    • On demand sports streaming?

    Jump

  • You’re welcome! I forgot to say, if it helps in future I did find some decent live coverage on IPTV, much better than sky sports and ESPN imo. The Australian channel Stan had a dedicated channel for every court (Stan sports 1-19), commentary on every main draw match and no adverts. It was better than the live sports streaming websites. Have a good one 👍🏼

    • Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

  • I remember at the start of the first lockdown there were a bunch of young people in flat shares that really really struggled because the only private place they had to work was their bedrooms. I can definitely understand why people might like to work in the office for that reason and reasons like your own.

  • I mean workers feel like that, but employees and governments don’t seem to. And the propaganda against WFH is still going strong.

  • Definitely. Before going into the office I’d shower, do my hair, put in contacts, put on a little bit of make up and wear clean and ironed work clothes. If I were working at home, having a bath or shower at some point in the day and wearing clean clothes is about it. Even if I decided to do my hair and make up, I’d probably do it in working hours between meetings - the time I would have wasted talking to co workers or staring out the window if I was in the office.

  • I moderate a couple of communities that fit that criteria - you can have a discussion but ultimately they’re just mildly amusing screenshot/photo communities. Initially the comment section was much much more friendly here than Reddit but I’ve definitely noticed a decline recently, say the last 2 weeks. Some of the messages I get when I warn people not to insult others are becoming unhinged. I know it’s bound to happen, lemmy is still the internet. But I had hoped for a place where people didn’t call each other fucking dickheads for having a different opinion.

  • I feel really sad for all the doggos that were bought as lockdown puppies.

  • Which would you prefer; A or B?

    • Yes
    • A and B are stupid
    • OP is stupid
    • I hate A and B, and OP, and this website. Go fuck yourself.

    Wonderful.

  • Hey! I had no luck finding sports replays on demand from an IPTV. But I did find a work around for this event - ESPN via YouTubeTV. It’s an American service so you need a VPN and US zip code - 11108 worked for me. It has a 21 day free trial and has all the EPSN channels (except plus) live and on demand. It wouldn’t let me sign up with my UK based PayPal, but it happily accepted my UK debit card with the American zip code.

  • They’re a definite minority but at least 3 people here chose the 4 day week.

  • Don’t just count the actual journey time either - you have to factor in any extra time needed to get ready, parking, getting to or from the train and bus station, and any delays or traffic. If google maps tells you your commute takes 30 mins, it’s taking you 45 at least.

  • Yeah I think it’s very easy to underestimate your commute if you only consider the journey time. Like you said, you also have to consider parking or getting to the bus/train, getting from the car/train/bus station to your actual office, any traffic or delays… and there’s the getting yourself ready time. It’s not uncommon for my partner to roll out of bed at 8.50 to start at 9am!

  • I’ve seen a couple of people say they wouldn’t commute more than 20 mins - I wasn’t expecting that tbh. I’m from London and an hour commute, door to desk, is pretty standard. Even my journey to secondary school took 45mins at the very least!

  • Good point. If your 4 days a week onsite are flexible that might entice more people. I think it’s the rigidity that a lot of people dislike, because life just doesn’t work like that. But I can’t work myself so I can only imagine.

  • Thank you! I’m not able to work so I can’t say with certainty which one I’d choose. I think WFH because it just seems more flexible to me - and I don’t like people, or getting up early, or commuting. And it’s better for the environment and cheaper for me. But having a 3 day weekend every weekend sounds great! I wonder if my life would have a clearer home/work balance and if that would make me happier 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was just interested in what people who do work think, I didn’t expect any hostility from such an inoffensive question!

  • It’s the same for my partner. I don’t think he’s worked past 3pm on Fridays in the 7 months he’s been there. There’s just nothing going on.
