there's a public consultation on sunak's stupid ''no more sick leave work yourselves to death'' idea which closes 8th July 2024.

uk people you know the drill: polite but firm about how this is economically and socially a stupid fucking idea

non uk people please share for visibility

This is upsetting me so much.

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I currently have a doctor's note to say that adjustments should include working from home, as my employers (or more specifically the old men who tell my employers what to do) want everyone back in the office 5 days a week.

I'm good at my job. I work very hard, with frequently long hours. I pay tax (and am happy to). If i can no longer get a doctor's note to say I should be able to work from home, and have to go in, the short term consequences are that I will do fewer hours (as I'll be rushing bang on 5 to try and avoid the rush hour) and my work will be worse as I'll be trying to get things done while super stressed. In addition my workplace relationships, which are currently excellent (seriously, I'm as surprised as anyone) will suffer, as my mental health degrades, as I become a worse version of myself, with a shorter temper - and frankly nobody wants to work with someone who can burst into tears at any moment).

The long term consequences are either I lose my job because of the above issues, or I end up having to quit. Presumably going on long term sick leave won't be an option now, as depression isn't a valid reason. So then what? Unemployment? Suicide? any version of this results in me being more of a problem, costing more, and making life more miserable for both myself and those around me, than just LETTING ME HAVE MY FUCKING DOCTOR'S NOTE.

I hate this government so much, and I hate that if they get this through before an election our current opposition will prob just say 'yeah, this is fine'.

Get in there and give them hell in the consultation form <3

The fucking link to the Wikipedia for "cylinder". Brutal.

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

within fifteen minutes i have found two different grown adult men who have dating app profiles that say their worst fear is:

werewolves.

one was funny. two is like... hang on, do we actually have a werewolf problem in this town?

jesus christ I just found a third guy who's afraid of werewolves. what the fuck is happening here

I have a friend who was consulting with a slaughter house that was using a digital camera feed to train AI for inspecting quality on the conveyor belt. The large hurdle they were running into was anytime an employee was in frame the program labeled them as meat to be inspected. This is in no way ominous or concerning.
