I kind of agree with OP to a degree. I did 10 years of retail (mostly in small local shops where I could help influence how stuff was run) and now run my own business, which is essentially retail. So I've experienced 100s of Karens over the years.

Their endless and stupid complaints in a lot of cases have helped me simplify process for the thickos, make information as dumbed down as possible and helped me clarify things that I assumed anyone with half a brain would just know. It's also given me the opportunity to learn how to deal with completely unreasonable people, which is a really useful skill to have in life.

The Karens help anyone with average and above intelligence see the world through the eyes of people who are completely ignorant, they allow you to see "issues" that no normal person would ever consider and help try and mitigate the Karen complaints before they even begin.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing their behaviour and I get incredibly frustrated every time I have to deal with one, but you can learn lessons from these people in a lot of cases that'll make your life easier if you have managers/owners who are willing to listen.

Not the person you replied to but personally I'd like to see some kind of random communities feature so I can discover new ones.

Most of the stuff I see is memes or US politics that I'm just not interested in.

I've been car free now for close to a decade but am close to giving up, honestly. The buses that used to be every 10 minutes are progressively getting less frequent to the point it's usually every half an hour, but not uncommon for them to be every hour.

It's impossible to plan your day around a bus schedule that constantly changes with no warning, so I just end up not bothering to go out a lot of the time.

The backlash against this is honestly so frustrating. I don't support the blocking of roads but the Prime Minister is 100% a legitimate target and the kind of person these groups should be directing their protests at.

Is this currently working for you? I've followed every step and it just get stuck on installing forever.

It's the YouTube algorithm that's pushing this garbage and it's blatantly obvious, the actual adverts largely line up with my interests. If I don't watch a YouTuber for a couple of weeks they disappear from my reccommed. I never watch anything about American politics, barely watch any American YouTubers yet there it is every single time without fail.

YouTube is absolutely dreadful for it. I have literally zero interest in American politics, I'm interested in world events but frankly couldn't care less about another country's domestic politics yet it's pushed almost every time I load the site.

I mostly watch things like travel vlogs and trip reports, yet get endless spam about right wing American politics. There's nothing in my search history that would suggest I'd care about it.

I mean his genius solution to the steering wheel being on the wrong side for UK Tesla's was to give owners a big stick. I think it's safe to say he's not a genius.

When I was at school the uniform was just a basic pull over jumper, polo shirt and skirt/trousers. They were pretty effective at getting you caught if you decided to bunk off, like I did during PE and RE.

The uniform kids have to wear these days, which is basically a full on suit looks so uncomfortable, especially in the summer.

At first it isn't, but as you go more and more grey it becomes a lot harder to manage on your own, especially if you started with dark hair. It's depressing to be young and constantly fighting a losing battle against the grey. I was like 16 when it started, by my very early 30s the whole of the top of my hair was completely grey.

I get the appeal of the Steam Deck, especially for people who travel alot, though I personally wouldn't get one.

But this has to be on the same network as your ps5 doesn't it? So the only time this is ever going to be useful is if your partner or something wants to use the main TV and is more expensive then just buying a litte monitor or something for your bedroom, so what's the point in it? The ps5 isn't exactly heavy or awkward to move like my gaming PC is.
