  • I lived in a town with 50k back in the 90s. I don't remember there ever being a bus service except for the school buses.

    The town was pretty massive though. Half the town was on a plateau as well so you had to walk up a pretty huge hill to get to half of it.

    There was quite a few taxi's driving people around.

    Maybe there was a bus that I never used and can't remember. As a kid I rode everywhere. That hill was a son of a bitch though.

  • If I lived in a country where this was something to worry about, if worry about it.

    It's not something I've ever thought about or considered in Australia.

    Sure break-ins happen but violent crimes during break-ins... it's so rare I've never heard of or met anyone that knows of it happening.

  • This is not a place of acceptance. This is a left wing echo chamber. You either tow the narrative or GTFO.

    I think of myself as very moderate. I'm neither supportive of right wing horse shit or the lefts batshit insanity. I'll get downvoted into oblivion every time for pointing out this place being extreme left, or for making any comment that doesn't align strictly with the narrative taking points.

  • The argument really isn't against pronouns.

    It's against censorship. Why shouldn't I be able to remove that feature from my game if I want to?

    Is it really hurting anyone if I don't want stupid pronouns in my game?

    I'll note that I don't own the game and have never played it. Just an outside observer watching the stupidity.

  • Yeah, the issue is, the laptop is full of photos. She took it to Apple after I failed to figure it out. They said they can wipe it but not recover the photos.

    It's just a crap system.

  • I don't agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It's absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that's it. You can't open anything, you can't delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It's so fucking bad.

  • All the renter's calling for the heads of the upper middle class property owners.

    Stop coming after us. We already pay the most tax and get the least benefits from the tax.

    We don't get all the offsets the millionaires get, and we don't get the handouts the poor get.

    We just get gouged everywhere. We don't know enough to invest in anything other than housing.

    Stop coming after us. We aren't the problem.

  • I work a 9 day week. It's shit. 4 day work week only works if you don't have to do a 38hr week crammed into the remaining days.

    I have to do 9 hr days to get that day off. The Friday I have to work is only a 4 hr day.

    I often dream about just working all 7 days just so each day is shorter. If I did 4 hrs on Saturday and Sunday I could just do 7 hr days.

    I fucking hate 9 hr days. I'm completely over it by 6 hrs.

    I also consider just cutting back my hours to 24hrs, but then I think about my retirement. I don't want to be super poor when I'm old so I need to work as much as possible for the next 10 years atleast before dialing back a bit until retirement.

  • I can. Have a meeting in Citrix and I happily work while people yabber on in the background.

    The real killer is the face to face meetings. My group supervisor now demands anyone in the office on a particular day go into his office for the team meeting. That's a real time waster.

    People online can't hear us properly standing around in his office. Can't get work done while standing in there.

    Just let me work from home so I don't have a bunch of people wander over to me to ask stupid questions during the day.

    If you want something send me an email and I'll get to it when I have time. Walking into my space, making me take my noise cancelling headphones off so you can yabber at me and break my concentration is so annoying.

    I'm untouchable at home. I work until I need a break, then quickly sort questions and queries, then get back into my groove for another hour or two.
