Do you have to answer the person spec points in order?

I’m after a professional job anywhere in the field of helping people. I’m mid 40s, when I was last job hunting it was really different.

Hey UK,

I try to buy based on reviews. Not insta influence or amazon reviews. I like to hear real people’s opinions, and one that isn’t being paid for. And it needs to be something I can purchase local.

Times are hard and what not. Anyone do paid surveys, cashback offers etc? Any good ideas?

Right, I suspect I’m for the chop in January and didn’t want to leave anything on the table.

Need to replace it before it dies as being without a kettle is inhumane

I get my news via RSS. I am currently using The National (a Scottish paper) as my main source, but I’m uncertain of the quality of the writing, and the number of articles imported from USA Today irks me a little. I have also tried *The Guardian*, *i*, *The Scotsman*, *Edinburgh Evening News*, *Sky News*, and of course *BBC News*; however I moved away from these for various reasons.

Mine was dead handy for taking places with me, but it’s dying.

It’s fucking freezing

It’s too soon….

I’m looking to buy a laptop for things like browsing the internet, admin stuff like sorting out important documents, a little bit of software development, and other things that aren’t easy to do on a phone.

EDIT - I FOUND THIS

I finally remembered to do this on a Sunday!

Link here. It’s Blackpool so it’ll be cheap surely?

Am looking for recommendations, really.

Article here. Sorry for posting something si controversial

Did you know you can get a health check from the NHS? Useful info

It's cold showering in the morning cry cry

I only found out it happened cos of this article

I've got a young housemate coming to me who is really vulnerable. She needs to do a CV and look for basic admin jobs but my advice is 20 years out of date.

I’m trying to expand my podcast selection, and I’d like to find some tech podcasts that have a more UK centric POV.

Been out today and immediately noticed our local mini roundabouts with red crosses painted on them and nearly every motorway bridge with either a union flag or a flag of St George fixed them. It's like they've just appeared overnight? What's suddenly brought this on?

Not done one of these for a few weeks as I've been pretty busy!

My Note20 Ultra is getting long in the tooth and i was looking at the s25 Ultra 1TB. I can get a "mint condition" one from CeX for a few hundred less than buying new along with a "5 year guarantee" which is the lifetime i would expect of such a phone.

I've heard it pronounced both "Dave-Iss" and "Davey's". I don't hear the names often but I see them regularly and never know how to pronounce them. The only one I'm sure about is Alan Davies (Dave-Iss) because of QI.

Hey all! I'm doing a quiz at work and need a picture round. Who are some people who are guessable but not too obvious?

I'd like to start a couple therapy with my partner. I'm not too sure where I should look, if it's a good idea to do that online or if I should aim at having it in person. Any good website you recommend? I would love to hear your experiences as well. I'm in South London. Thanks!

American here (yes, yes, boo hiss etc). I admittedly just learned about the online safety act and listened to an American podcaster talk about it like the sky is falling. Is it over there? What's it practically like?

Air rifle/shooting range members, how does one apply if they want to join? Would I need to buy my own guns (air rifles) or do some if not most ranges lend guns to you? I'm interested in joining in the future so obviously I'll be a beginner in this instance.

Spending lots of time fighting nature in my garden, wondered if anyone had a recommendation for a podcast pls as my feed is dry.

I’ll start. Chuck Norris jokes!

I'm thinking of getting solar panels and a battery for our house.

I got these reusable cloths and they've saved me a packet while being eco friendly. However the reusable sponges I've tried have been shit. Anyone know any good ones?

Also which were rare that you were lucky to catch once in a while but not regularly?

HRH Charles's birthday is Saturday! How many pages will the Daily Fail dedicate to it?

I have a theory every British person has one

Surely there's far fewer rounds? My previous profession must be in tatters

I am American, but I live in Japan. I have been searching for a particular T-Fal cooking pot with a particular type of glass lid that used to be available for sale in Japan, but is not any longer.

I've got a bit lost with it cos a) it's unfathomable b) there's a lot of info

I mean, there's obviously something going on. Public sentiment towards Ukraine is still strong and you still see yellow and blue flags flying but sympathy for Israel was never as strong and it's since massively died off given how they've reacted. The vote is clearly not a reflection of genuine public opinion. But what's going on, are certain people just voting loads of times?

It's mildly sunny! How easily do you burn?

The ones that inspired you, or left a positive influence in you

Similarly to how the first 2 years were spent on Reddit, I’m ONLY blocking American centric communities. I don’t to see your food, listen to your politics or complaints…but they’re everywhere. When will it end? Will I be able to happily scroll in 5-10 years without being harassed by news of a dying civilisation that I could not give a shit about? I thought Lemmy would be different….
