Have you tried finding the physically smallest and youngest female employee in the place and screaming your demands at her from about 2 inches from her face? Then getting suddenly more courteous and meek when a bloke turns up? I hear that’s best practice for affecting change in retail.

This is a really good post

So much for not negotiating with terrorists.

“Pardon me, Monsieur, I did not mean to do it.” ??

You say that, but while I may feel an increase in discomfort when my partner invades my sofa space for a hug, I never fall asleep so soundly and happily as when she’s there. Better than any bed.

Exactly what I thought, I struggle more with noun recall after covid

I just use powder, it’s way cheaper and just as effective, also you can be more economical with it as you don’t need a full tablets worth of powder for most washes. The only thing I miss is the powder I have is designed for commercial use and is unscented - doesn’t affect the cleaning but the chemical smell isn’t the best when you open the dishwasher. But on the other hand you’re not paying for perfume you don’t actually need - also you avoid the environmental impact in perfume manufacturer too.

Yeah but you definitely feel better after taking it

Took the words out of my mouth, hahahaha

The 11th of the 9th really is the Great American Myth at this point.

Yeah but Nissans value add is in its profit margins. Gotta chase those sweet profits.

That’s also insane too… right?

Bluey is aimed at toddlers - do they need a movie length version of their show? Can’t imagine they have the attention span.

Honestly think this is the best advice you’ll get. Though I’ll add to the recommendation to buy nicotine free ‘base’ juice and add your own nicotine. Lets you taper your dose way easier than store bought which is hard to get not in 20 strength.

The main thing to be careful about is to make sure you get it all from reputable suppliers - there have been plenty of reports of nicotine free juice having loads of nicotine and other active chemicals in it to keep people hooked.

Also fair warning: vapes are delicious and there isn’t a ‘stop point’ like with a cigarette that you finish. A vape you can keep sucking on indefinitely. So you can end up taking way more nicotine than you would smoking. So if you don’t smoke indoors or while driving or something then I would keep up that habit, and try to keep the vape to just a ‘smoking break’ type thing.

They’re doing a real life bit

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation.

I don’t know what I expected

Looks like someone washed a Bren on too high a heat

Also any good Wassail-Ing songs.

Handles Messiah - yes please.
