Who is this missing person with the pacemaker, and how is covering what’s happening to her helping Nazis?

If it’s the elderly woman in the photo, and if she’s missing (trying to locate her heart makes it seem so), should word not be spread via the news, in case someone might have some information as to her location, etc?

Or is the elderly woman a Nazi and you’d rather she not be found?

Break fast and move things!

Oh my god you can’t use big boy grown up words on the computer what if mother sees, we’ll all be sent to bed without our tea

We put our old furniture/appliances out, and when the scrap man passes they take it away for free (or you can call the council and they’ll take it away for free also).

I’ve got a couch out in my garden at the moment, council’s taking it to the tip on Monday.

…Where are we supposed to leave it for pickup, on the roof?

Yeah that’s a dick move, it’s so rare that we get snow, I enjoy looking out of the window and seeing it.

Not to mention that it’s taboo over here to enter someone else’s garden without good reason, this bloke’s asking for it though, where’s his hedge? Not even a fence? Come on. But I digress.

Thing is, if they’d just asked I bet he’d have said sure, and been happy to help, but it’s people stepping over the line and going outside of the basic social contact we have in our communities, that’s what pisses ya off.

So long as it’s affordable. I’m not paying more than £250 for a mobile phone, even that’s on the high end of what I can justify for a phone.

I’m stuck using Chinese brands if I want a good, affordable phone, but they have so many intentional software issues.

Nothing’s perfect, but if I could get a better phone that doesn’t lock down stuff (it’s my phone after all, I’m in charge of my own life), and if it were at an affordable price point - unlike these crazies that think £1000 is a reasonable price for a phone (!!!), I’d jump on it <3

Haha, funny you should say that, I’ve been linking this to people but taking the tracking portion out of the URL as I always do, I think that’s pretty common amongst us lot :-D

I’d say oopsie, but I dunno, articles like these should probably be free without needing special URL parameters. Not everything of course, but vital public safety announcements like this.

I don’t have the expertise to answer the question, but I’m sad that so many answers here are jokes, or five word answers that aren’t at all helpful :-(

Was really interested in this and hoped there’d be some knowledgeable people out there to educate us on this stuff!

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

United won 1-0 I think

Laws exist outside of that country.

Pity it’s not radish season yet, I grow loads of them, bloody love radishes.

Will have to try to remember this!

Hasn’t been for years now. I appreciate the extra oomph and definitely the extra RAM, but so many projects need a Pi3 level of oomph and price point.

They don’t make those any more, and the new ones are too expensive, so just can’t do those projects any more.

Or just cronch em!

You’re being downvoted, but honestly, who can really say either way.

During war, we should expect everything officially stated by both sides to be propaganda. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes a lie, either to deceive the enemy, or others.

I want to believe the positive statistics of course, but I take it all with a grain of salt.

Even a good, moral leader would be stupid to always tell the unvarnished truth during wartime.

Death to America

I dunno man, all other things aside (I have no opinion on specific Lemmy instances at all), when you’re quoting Osama Bin Laden as part of your own beliefs or opinion, that’s probably not cool beans, you know?

Exactly! Plus, I always despise having to stay after everybody else has left those extra few minutes (if I’m 3 minutes late in the morning due to the bus or such) to ‘keep working’, it does nothing but make me dislike the management.

That said, I’m also never staying late to help with anything, it goes both ways. If they don’t want to let me work with some leeway by a few minutes here and there, I’m not giving them an inch either. Especially given that it would be unpaid extra work!

Given that I make it clear that I personally disagree with corporate nitpicking over small time stuff like this, and point out that their imagined loss in company profits are stolen production value of the proletariat anyway…

can I take your swearing at me and telling me to be silent to mean that you yourself support the company in its demands that employees make up lost time by working late?

Or, do you agree with me, but Lemmy perhaps is more like Reddit than we would wish it to be, where sometimes we don’t actually read what people say, not taking on onboard the content of their message, unless it’s very short?

(I get that a lot to be fair, I’m told ADHD makes me a little verbose - I just like to lay my thoughts out with no room for misunderstanding haha)

I think I made my stance against this anti-worker practice clear. I began by laying out my own experience here in the UK with my previous employers (who I note consider us wageslaves) which, while it may not be your own experience, doesn’t change what has happened to me, and went on to explain their perspective (flawed and at odds with the proletariat as I show it is), then went on to make clear that their perspective isn’t my own.

…Is it a social crime to try to understand why our adversaries think the way they do?

…Should we all simply shout about how much we dislike the evils brought about by our late stage capitalist overlords, but never once pick apart why they do what they do, why they think the way they do, and discuss it amongst ourselves?

I’m not deep or particularly smart, nor do I stand out in any meaningful way in my understanding of worker’s history, laws, or how to fight for our rights.

But if I, an average worker who grew up in Manchester, a labour movement hotspot, one who reminds their colleagues of the Peterloo Massacre lest we forget those lessons, one who invites them to visit our People’s History Museum to see our history of unions, strikes, and fights for our rights, …if I can’t join the discussion with any allowed response other than “They’re evil, but let’s not try to understand why so that we might better fight for each other”, what have we, as a workers movement, become?

This is normal, no?

Sad, but normal. I’ve never had an employer that would find it acceptable for their staff to leave two minutes early. They wouldn’t even accept us beginning to get ready to leave until our clock out time, because up to that point we are supposed to be working.

Two minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, but I suppose they see it differently to us, the wageslaves.

If 20 salaried staff members regularly leave work 2 minutes early, that’s 40 minutes of lost productivity/paying wages to staff that aren’t even there, per day. 3 hours 20 minutes per week, 10 hours a month.

That’s assuming they didn’t stop working a few minutes earlier in order to actually be at the door clocking out 2 minutes early. In reality, they were probably getting ready to go, packing their stuff, grabbing their coat, going to the loo, maybe 4 minutes before actually leaving.

So, it’s more like 6 minutes of lost time per person, and now that’s 2 hours lost PER DAY across all 20 employees, or 10 hours a week, 40 hours a month.

Obviously I wouldn’t nitpick about such silly things, but an employer, who is paying out of their own pocket (in as much as the stolen production value of the proletariat is their money), is going to be looking closely at the timesheets and finances, do long term calculations like this, and will dehumanise their employees to save money.

So, when they see one person leaving 2 minutes early, they see a slippery slope, and the potential for dozens of hours or more of wasted wages per month if they don’t nip it in the bud.

Yes, it is common courtesy to return your trolley appropriately.

I’ve only really seen the system abused when visiting countries like the USA, shoppers seem feral over there.
