I don’t drink and go to bars. Sure I could show that’s a silly reason for a denial. Live music doesn’t require alcohol.

In moderation yes.

Haha. There’s that many traumatic events from my childhood, dysfunctional would be an understatement. Suffice to say I am not having children I will break the cycle.

Yeah I treat the downvote as a way of saying shit content or trolling or whatever. People on here seem to treat it like a disagreement button.

If you’re not engaging to try and bring people to your point of view then what are you here for cause I’m not here for a circle jerk, I can wank myself off just fine. This place seems like a club no dissimilar to r/conservative but for “our side” and fuck that I’ll hold my people to the same standards as people I don’t agree with. Thats integrity.

Maybe everyone should be a literal more willing to discuss things than just dog pile on with downvotes.

This place is mighty insufferable and I say that as one insufferable twat.

Exactly my takeaway too. I often knew I was a little insufferable with my morals and what I believe but you don’t really think about it until you’re surrounded by people equally as insufferable or worse.

Trust Lemmy to be Lemmy. I saw this and thought hey that’s cool as I like Lego. Come to the comments to see most people shit on it.

After all these years I’ve finally found a group of people more cynical than myself and I like it, makes me seem like less of a miserable cunt. It’s all relative I guess.

I might be dumb but doesn’t your idea just lets predators pretend to be children?

If I can’t prove I’m an adult then I must be a child. Now I get to talk to children and groom them. I’m not saying this is the best course of action but I also don’t know how best to cut down on predators on kids games.

What a g

Yeah we are. Spineless bastards we are. Guess it’s just me out here boycotting America 😂

Again, read the room.

Read the room bro.

You keep saying this but that’s just not the case. Robots.txt would be respected by older bots and they wouldn’t DDOS your site either.

Me: Guy breaks in to my house and steals my shit

You: Bruh you had shit locks and no alarm what you expect.

You: 🥾 👅

I personally think it’s great to share your mistakes if you want to be open about them. I don’t necessarily share too much socially online but I do overshare in the office at times. I honestly don’t care what people think of me, I know who I am and what I stand for.

I pirate but still go to local indie house cinemas to contribute to good artists. I’ll go commercial cinema too as that’s only £5 and you can take your own food.

Why are adults and children’s prices the same. Just charge per seat at that point.

Sure.

Total hours of work per week 33, standard in the UK is 37.5 but I have a good boss. I work Monday - Thursday 08:00-16:30 with an unpaid hours break. Friday 09:00-12:00. Tuesday and Thursday are office days, the rest are from home.

Holidays (vacation) we start with 20 days per year increasing 1 day per year for a maximum of 25 days total.

Sickness, unlimited within reason but even then it’s unlimited. I’m not happy a lot of the time and so I much have been off sick for 4-5 weeks this year in total and never once been pulled up about it, again my boss is good. Other jobs would typically put you on a development plan if had more than 3 instances of sickness, but even then they would work with you until you got better.

Healthcare, we live in the Uk. It’s free at point of service as it’s factored into what we pay out of wages.

Cost of living is quite high but I wouldn’t say worse than the USA. But everything is pretty much 33-50% more expensive than pre covid. Rent is insane.

I should say that as a software engineer, two years in, that my salary is probably lower than many many companies but for me I like time more than I like money and their is literally never stress at work, it either gets done on time or it doesn’t. We all come first.

I’m sorry you have to go through that dude and honestly after reading this it makes me think I have no right to complain, it’s all relative though so I’ll still complain.

I can’t believe how bad y’all have it over there. I’m hesitant to point out how much better my situation is in the UK as that would be cruel af. But if you’re curious I can highlight the differences between the USA and UK as we have it so much better than this.

Saving this for the next time I could you use scathing takedown.

As the other person says it’s the same with new words and people looking down on the next generation like theirs didn’t do the same. I love that language evolves, always something to learn. Better than shouting at clouds, which should be Lemmy’s tagline.
