I’ve never seen it. Was it any good?

Plain grey ball cap every time I step outdoors in anything less than smart casual. Slip slop slap and slide, kids.

Having bought 2 in my lifetime so far my approach has always been to say bugger all to the agent. I owe them nothing. If I have questions I ask, if they ask me questions I give them the most limited information possible, obviously being polite. I always kept my cards close to my chest until it was time to lift the auction paddle.

Say very little; it’s none of their business. Dress how you normally would.

I get a strong ‘my mate’s company bought too much of this for a project and asked if I wanted it for pennies on the pound so I said yeah, put it fucking everywhere’ vibe

Fuck

This was great, thanks for posting!

I don’t know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It’s exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn’t you know? He saw it on TV

Eh feels like a low effort Reddit thing we don’t need to copy

Keep the day job for now and start volunteering what time you can spare to a cause that resonates with you.

That might be the night time soup kitchen, or planting trees with your local working bee, or companionship sessions with the local nursing home. You may find an idea for a vocation reveals itself, and be in a position to hear about any opportunities.

Lefty friendly and community work are pretty well aligned so I think that’s a start.

I feel you re IT and related industries. I just want to close my laptop and never open it again, but it’s not an option right now.

Be together in my ass

Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

I’ve never tried lucid dreaming. I’m an insomniac so I’m just chuffed if I manage to get any sleep, let alone control my own universe.

But often when I do dream, I die in my dreams. Usually violently - gunshot or blunt instrument sort of deaths that I’m cowering from prior to. So I’m in genuine terror and horror before my death…And I swear, the millisecond before it happens (and I always wake up at the time of death) I feel the pain of it.

It’s pretty fucked, tbh. I’ve lived a peaceful life with very little violence in it, and guns certainly aren’t a thing here. So I don’t know my brain can’t just chill out.

Anyway - it’s why I’m a little frightened to try lucid dreaming. At least in spite of the fear there’s a sense of inevitability about my deaths in these dreams (i.e. my murderer has found me in my hiding place), somehow I feel like it’d be worse if I was trying and failing to fight back, or if I prolonged the inevitable death by trying to outsmart the person? Or could I just shut down that plot completely?

Thanks for the session, do I just pay the receptionist on the way out or will you just invoice me?

You a ranga by any chance?

Haha wut

Yeah probably in school. Children are children.

Well rounded adults don’t spend their time obsessing over thee size of people’s genitalia.

You said women

You’re the only one who mentioned it mate

You started with ‘people’ but now you’re just saying women … Dude
