Who could have predicted this!?!?? Why weren’t we warned?

Does it not? It still does in my experience. Our company has these weird company wide meetings where they tell us how they’re doing great, everything’s great, but because growth isn’t “double digit” due to inflation so there is a pay freeze. (I’d love even a less than double digit pay rise - even though that’s still a pay cut with inflation).

Pretty much exactly what you are saying. Employees are grumbling, but don’t want to get laid off and are uncertain about the job market.

I love getting socks.

God, I wish there were more “X of the week” type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I’m exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.

I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don’t have the energy for serial TV shows these days!

After a while I just found it too stressfully destructive to keep watching!

agreyworld , 1 year ago to ukcasual in How do you pronounce "scone"?

Grew up in Yorkshire where we will shorten anything but an “o” sound, which instead becomes very long. So scone rhymes “stone”, with extra “o”.
