I don't park on the road with the plebs
  • I saw this post yesterday, and then today on my way to the train station cars were queueing at a traffic light with 2 lanes. One lane cars couldn't get into because another cars poor positioning, but a range rover just mounted the curb and bombed it around loads of cars. I guess that counts as off-road.

  • A cool guide for red flags during job interviews.
  • Always ask in an interview "What do you like about working here?"

    You can usually gauge from they're body language if it's an awkward working environment. Not so easy when interviews are done online sadly.

  • What are you playing this week? June 17 2024 Edition
  • Trying to get things lined up for the Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV next week. When first announced I wasn't very excited, but as it gets closer I'm looking forward to it more and more.

  • Labour Party Manifesto 2024
  • "Labour will also remove the discriminatory age bands, so all adults are entitled to the same minimum wage, delivering a pay rise to hundreds of thousands of workers across the UK."

    I like this change, shame it wasn't in place when I was younger!

    My concern with this is that for a lot of young people retail is their first job, and so I suspect retail is predominantly young workers. What kind of impact would this have on the economy? E.g. if Morrisons hires lots of younger people and they now need to increase all their pays, I'm guessing they'll need to cut staff numbers or increase prices? Of course they are going to avoid cutting into their profits. Now times this by however many retailers there are. I can only guess there is the hope that people will buy more.

  • Britain’s Conservative Party Is Facing a Historic Defeat
  • I'll be glad to see the backs of the Tories, but I don't have high expectations for Labour. Every time the Tories fuck up Labour simply suggests "we wouldn't do it that way." Hindsight is a pretty powerful thing and I don't know if they'll be able to make the right decisions either.

    Tories definitely shouldn't win, but I don't feel labour deserve to win. I feel like I'm voting for the lesser of 2 evils 😞

  • Boost for reddit has now truly 100% died. Hello Lemmy!
  • After having used Boost for Reddit for so long I was happy to cough up a bit of money to get Boost for Lemmy to not have any ads. Jerboa was great for a free app, but for me the user experience felt free. I haven't used it since BfL came out so not sure if it's improved since then.

  • A Cool Guide to a Better Night's Rest.
  • I've tried two different types, one solid memory foam pillow, and my current one is one with foam cubes in it, it seems to be the closest solution, but just not quite right. I feel like Goldilocks.

  • A Cool Guide to a Better Night's Rest.
  • I've been having a real nightmare in recent months with sleeping. I get ear pain if I use a pillow that is too firm, but if I don't use a firm pillow a soft pillow sinks or bunches up over night and causes neck pain. I can't use a firm pillow with a soft pillow on top otherwise it's too high and leads of neck pain. If I sleep on my back I'll snore.

    I just don't know what to do, I can't find a suitable pillow.

  • General Election 2024 Manifestos?

    I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a non-biased source of all party Manifestos?

    I remember some time ago there was a site where people could answer questions on subjects that were important to them and based on those which party is recommended.
