It might take a while to get all the syllables, and I fully expect them to get 'mama' first, but I'm gonna aim for 'destroyer of worlds'.

Farther is the correct word, and has been confused with further for so long (over a hundred years), that they both mean exactly the same thing nowadays, so not sure why people are taking issues with it.

Unless I'm missing something?

Thank you! I really hate super ambiguous gaming acronyms, that even as a gamer myself, I either can't understand or have to rack my brains to figure out. It's really bloody annoying!

Depends what you mean by fucked up. Long waits for some NHS treatments, but if I get any kind of serious injury like cuts or broken bones, it'll be seen in A&E (Accident & Emergency) at the hospital, they obviously treat the more serious injuries first, but I've never waited longer than 4 hours - and that was on a Saturday night about ten years ago, with a minor cut than only needed 5 stitches or so...

As a kid, my broken arm and the few times I needed stitches, it was sorted pretty much straight away or with an hour or two wait. That's probably doubled or tripled nowadays.

Mental health turnaround is not great, as that's through my doctor (the NHS). Although I got treatment for depression a couple of years back, meds (Sertaline) and referral to therapy, after a week or so waiting for an appointment and answering a few waves of questionnaires. A couple of months later, after a lengthy conversation with a medical health triage nurse (which was just a random follow up call - that lasted an hour!), I went on an 18 month waiting list for the ADHD test, and about the same for ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) as well.

Not great, but they're understandably swamped with the spike of mental illness, or people becoming aware of it anyway, after covid and the lockdowns.

Still waiting on the NHS for the ASD diagnosis, but I actually ended up going private for my ADHD, that was ~£800, was seen in a week, and the meds for that was £100 a month for Elvanse(Vyvanse in the US). I was able to transfer back to my GP after a few months though, so it's just the standard prescription price of £9.65 / month, which is much better.

Other than that last paragraph, everything else was entirely free... so, nah, I don't reckon our health care system is as fucked as yours and we certainly don't have it "even worse"!

Edit: typo's and explaining a few acronyms!

Why on earth would a train operator care about timetables over basic ethics? They are human beings, not robots, you know?

The controller and driver both get paid either way, and I'm sure the train driver is used getting home late on occasion - and I expect they get overtime pay, so he may well be laughing anyway.

And the controller, or whatever they're called, will just be seeing it as a PR issue. The slight lost money on the refunds (that passengers actually bother to put through) is easily worth the good PR.

Edit: Missed random words, impatient brain running too fast for fingers.

Mosquitoes would probably beat them, but they've had a hefty head start. The church are aware of this, of course, which is why they double down on the paedophilia to catch up.

If they were just taking it themselves, that is, unfortunately a lot of these shitwads have children and other dependants.

Any day now!

Spock on a cock! Should have marked that nsfw really...

Hmmm, that's goofy looking. ノ⁠(⁠ ⁠º⁠ ⁠_⁠ ⁠ಠノ⁠)

Why do you hate train drivers so much!?

A small delay for a single train, on a network of thousands, is not enough for the "evil train company" employees, that you seem to think that they all for some reason.

The world isn't quite as black and white as you seem to believe it is!

Or, rough seas on the horizon, future looks rocky.

le sigh

(I like it)

But what's a single one of those called?

A one? A hundredth and thousandth??

I need to know!!

I do like the idea of an address book based hitcar though.

Schrodinger's bank account?

Unless you hate Christmas, then it's a sudden bucket of suck, then a release back into those lovely routines and coping mechanisms.

Hmm. I might be a little broken though. Don't be like me, enjoy your Christmasses!

Edit: Actually, it's not so sudden, it's between a 3 and 12 month to Christmas each year, depending on your age/ access to advertising.

No spoilers exist here and it's a Christmas themed post - surely Santa was the original spoiler!?

No, not at all. My best guess is that the OP is confused with mainland Europe, who actually do use metric a lot more... the UK uses a mix of imperial and metric.

Surely the darkness song should be on there, that's played loads at Christmas... and from the 00's?
