Bufty.

Heard it frequently 20 years ago and now it's dropped off the face of the planet as casual homophobia has become a bit less prevelant.

Same, my brother returned from the US and I was excited to try Hershey's and was horrified to find it tasted like puke. The next one did too.

They all sat on the table for weeks before they got thrown away which is unheard of in our house with sweets.

Cadbury isn't the best in the world or anything but not tasting like puke is like, up there in the list of things that make chocolate good.

I've worked in a founder led business and this is why I quit.

I'd spend forever working on a project to build a satellite site then suddenly we don't want that anymore - bin the recipes we want a full main site redbrand.

Bye.

Yep, there's a live stream on YouTube. If you roll it back you can see it.

Me too, I'll engage for around 15-30 minutes then go and do some writing rather than spend 4 hours doom scrolling.

I've legit got so much work done it staggers the mind.

I stopped using Reddit completely on July first, and in that time I've got a reflective log completed and submitted, a report on disruptive fintech completed a week early and submitted and now a mini dissertation completed 2 weeks early.

It's almost as if spending my time doing coursework is better than freaking out trying to finish it and submit to turnitin 30 seconds before the deadline while praying the connection doesn't fail.

Anyway...

Research CRO Analyst.

There was a guy joined my last organisation who would not shut the fuck up about Blockchain.

It was a retail org that sold branded mass produced stuff. There was no need for Blockchain but it was like, the only thing he knew about and his USP at interview stage.

He got fired. It was a good day.

They have been buying reviews.

Some of them hadn't even changed the platform name to Reddit in their oh-so-general reviews.

This is what I do when I'm at busy events and the service is degraded.

Just keep cutting off levels until I get to one that works well.

They drink in my local pub.

Yes.

Jokes on you, I have an autoimmune disorder, so getting the cold puts me in bed for a week.

It's a Fogarty duvet, absolute dream!

It's worth noting that we've also ruined many fruits through breeding and generic engineering so that they have a massively increased amount of sugar. They won't be as 'healthy' as wild varieties, but hot damn do they taste good.

Do I feel so bad I want to just lie down? I'll call in sick.

Am I at risk of yarfing or shitting my pants? I'll work from home.

Otherwise, I go to work.

That's a really cool study.

People are very quick to discard unconscious biases because they think they're above it, but they're not.

You can understand your biases and try to account for it, but unless you really delve into them you won't know.

I have a single use for mine, and it's grating frozen chunks of ginger for cooking.

No fucking about with the fibrous texture, no chopping, no bits. It's just creates ultimate melt away ginger for stirfrys.

They're absolute shit if you live in a hilly city. Felt like I was going backwards.

I found one in a bin, and after a dumpster dive and £10 worth of parts, it's now the most used appliances in my house.

I have a wool duvet with cotton shell and it's the greatest purchase I've ever made.

Genuinely keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer and it's very thin so you don't feel like you're suffocating in covers.
