We’re talking about why people like working with people face-to-face, so how is that not important? 😆 It’s pretty much the only factor that matters to me in terms of wanting to work in the physical office or not.

Yeah we all are mate, neither of us have much choice in that 😆 Doesn’t mean it doesn’t attract wonderful people.

Obviously I do, some of them are close friends now. But being around 100 people I really like for 27 hours a week is really good for me. During the pandemic I only went into the physical office once a week and it made me realise how much I appreciate that kind of socialisation.

You shouldn’t have pain just from sitting. Doing yoga or pilates or other strength exercises can stop this from happening.

Not far off, it’s a worker co-op 😆

Depends on where you work. My colleagues are brilliant, I’ve made lifelong friends at my work place but then it’s quite a radical work environment so attracts interesting people. I’d be gutted if I couldn’t see them every week.

The modifiers haven’t seemed to work for a long time.

It does sound like an obsessive trait but if it’s not causing you any problems and it makes you happy, then why not?

Although, a tip for you or anyone else reading this - letting your hair completely dry naturally without towel-drying it can make the texture so much nicer. I stopped towel-drying mine completely and now it dries with lovely, soft waves, no frizz at all.

What evidence?

Everyone has access to free abortion in the UK up to 24 weeks into the pregnancy.

You’re talking about a climate that changed over thousands of years and methods that were implemented thousands of years ago.

Our climate is changing over the course of decades and my current government is announcing things like this: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/28/rishi-sunak-to-double-down-on-anti-green-policies-in-kings-speech

Well, I mean, so far that seems to be the path being taken.

I don’t think it’s difficult to understand that people feel moved by atrocities that are closer to them. The UK directly helped create present day Israel and the colonisation of Palestinian land. Our current government also supports Israel in their attack on Gaza, meaning our taxes are being used to fund weapons and aid the genocide that’s happening right now. Of course people are protesting here.

Does it mean people don’t care about Tigray? Or course not, but we have less direct influence over what’s happening there.

🤦🏻‍♀️ So when Israel violated Gaza’s border, that’s fine?

There isn’t anywhere safe in Gaza right now.

Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?

We aren’t talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn’t ok?

Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.

And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.

Children shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of crazy men.

If this was intentional by Hamas then the original comment is pointless.

100% agree.

What is the purpose of saying “Hamas should have thought about that”? It’s apportioning blame to the victims, who are children.
