You can go on a protest whenever you want. Don't expect your employers to be enthusiastic about it if you organise one in your workplace, however.

Lol, what?

You represent your employers at work, not every waking hour.

I'm sorry that the facts don't fit your narrative. It must be frustrating.

If you work for a company, you're a representative of that company. If you disagree with the businesses they work with, don't work for that company.

Or if you really have a problem and want to express yourself, don't do it at your workplace. It's stupid.

Why would you organise this on company headquarters without the consent of the company?

If you tell your employers that you hate the way they operate, what do you think is going to happen?

You have other choices, yes, but it's always going to be either the Democrat or the Republican that wins.

Like here in the UK, smaller parties get media coverage more so than in the US, but it's still always going to be either Labour or the Conservatives that are forming a government, so they get the most coverage.

I think I blocked a bot once, if that counts.

But I don't block people on any sites unless they start spamming me in DMs or whatever. I don't see the point of blocking people otherwise.

I'm so glad we don't get campaign spam like this in the UK.

I remember people going crazy about it when Apple introduced it, and then I saw a video of it in action and was like, "is that it?".

Is it wholesome to cry over a lime, or just a bit strange?

I've never really liked any other launchers I've tried, but this one does look nice.

For those who have used it, how does it improve on the standard Pixel launcher?

 

As the title says. PS5 is a pain in the arse for not putting patch notes on the console and I hate having to scour the internet to try and find what's new in an update. Whether it be "join our Discord" or Facebook pages or hoping someone posts it in a subreddit.

So are there any sites or apps that do this well?

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

 

 

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

 

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?
