I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

I recognise that! KFC in Tower Hill, London. One of the filthiest restaurants I’ve been in but holy fuck it’s still the best KFC I’ve had like 5 years later. Also - you Have to pay for the fucking toilet as well.

At first when they changed the layout I thought it was to try and mimic a mobile phone kind of layout, portrait instead of landscape sort of, to make it identical on pc and phone. Not that it made sense then, But they’re pushing everyone to their shite app so it makes even less sense now.

Icepoles here in Ayrshire, Scotland!

Corporate Memphis is just the worst. I dunno why but it gives me heavy dystopian connotations.

It actually had two halves with rods connecting the two, which prevented that!

What the fuck. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic! The mods over there are a bunch of bawbags.

Mate it’s leaking all around the world. My maw, a 63 year old Scottish woman on the west coast fell into that right wing pipeline and started sending me fucking videos of Ben Shapiro! Wasn’t long before I cut my “family” out of my life . I’ve three kids who are LGBTQ+ and I’ll be fuckin’ damned if I’m gonna let these troglodytes get any influence over my kids. Paradox of tolerance has never been more relevant than it is now. Fuck the lot of them.

I reported a Fox News post that claimed climate change has no effect on the rise in wildfires. First time ever reporting anything there, and maybe reported a handful of racist comments before that.

Not even an hour later I got the message that I had been permanently banned! Appealed it, they said they’d reviewed the ban and it stands. Fucking laughable!!

Honestly, that right wing mob are some of the densest motherfuckers about.

The shit they believe, utter fucking lnuckle dragging eejits.

Shirt brother rule

Played through It Takes Two with my 13 year old daughter and it remains one of our favourite days. So much fun and the story is just brilliant.

Ahh that makes me feel a bit better at least!

To be honest, as time went by and a few of my subreddits I frequented started to get brigaded by transphobes and fascist bawbags (Scotland and unitedkingdom subs are a great example of this) I stopped participating altogether in them.

I found the casualuk sub and that became pretty much the only place I’d comment/post. It felt like a much closer-knit community and I’d much rather have that than a massive community that may not feel as “homely” if that makes sense.

EDIT - I replied to the wrong post, I’ve not had a coffee yet.
