Started noticing this few years ago when younger ones (GenZ 1995 onwards) couldn’t figure out change in bars, cafés Centra/spar etc.

Example: bill = £8.50

You hand them £10note 3x£1 coin and a 50p and they look at you like you’re insane!
You even explain that it’s so they can give you a £5 note back instead of change you don’t want and they still don’t get it.

Surely I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this very worrying trend. Heard stories of parents in the 80s at school being told calculators would destroy our ability to do maths, I was a generation after that and I certainly didn’t see in the early 2000s this inability to do basic maths but the mid 2010s onwards it’s crazy!

What do these people do if the digital world breaks even for a day? Can they actually function in an analogue world or was I the last gen that can genuinely live in both?

PS: yes I understand a lot of Boomers/GenX&Y can too, I’m exclusively talking about when the ability was lost for the majority not who can’t live in both worlds easily!

Very glad to see the mods were quick to remove the post offering £60/hr for your voice ti be recorded!

People need to be very very wary of this sort of thing!

Your voice is as unique as your fingerprints are! You’re potentially giving away something that’s unique to you with little to no clue what it’s being used for.

This is the future of scams right here and you volunteering your voice and likely signing away any rights to it being used in ANY capacity this person/company feels like is VERY DANGEROUS!

I’d be very very wary of this! And think about how your voice could be used by trained AI to scam your friends and families! Potentially accessing your personal money or data if used in conjunction with info obtained in a data breach

£60/hr is the hook!

Always remember what yer granny always said! If it sounds too good to be true it usually is!

£60 is isn’t worth you potentially loosing thousands in a year or two!

This is what ordinary everyday folks should be protesting about!

Wake up people and look around you!

Never mind the fact we seem to have sleep walked our way from a basic human right to access clean water to these so called safe bathing sites! But we’re now at the point where you’re literally risking death at these sites due to fecal contamination! Literally human piss & shit in rivers!

Most who grew up in 70/80/90s will remember being in a river at various points in summers! We’re the generation now overseeing these racketeering scum water companies charge more to take your waste away and they’re literally dumping it into rivers untreated, deliberately breaking law after law knowing the governments do nothing to stop them!

Shut up Pearson, it’s mine, it’s cool AF and I’m wearing the shit outa it! You’re just jealous!

Recently resurfaced reports from 2370 show that First Maje Cullah of the Kazon-Nistrim rejected an offer of x2 MarkV Dihydrogen Monoxide replicators offered from the Damon of a stranded Ferengi Maurader in exchange for a second hand deflector shield array.

Reported first by the DeltaQ Times Maje Cullah proudly stated how he outwitted the little aliens with the big ears as they tried to con him into giving them a valuable deflator array for two worthless Dihydrogen Monoxide replicators!

The Maje stated that no longer would the Nistrim be treated like fools by these ships that the Caretaker brings to our space! Unless they offer us ways of obtaining precious Water we need we will not trade one piece of our advanced technology!

The Ferengi were said to be truly baffled by the Maje rejection of their offer! A spokesperson for the Damon speaking via subspace transmission a few weeks after the encounter to Times reporter Minji Plumdum Riki stated that the Damon initially offered just the schematics to build their own replicator and thought Maje Cullah was driving a hard bargain given the Nistrims desperate need of Water, further adding their Maurader vessel only has 2 functional water replicators however the Damon was said to have put his faith that the great material river would provide on their journey to the Gamma Quadrant wormhole and they required the deflector array parts in order to complete repairs to their damaged deflector system.

The Ferengi continued that following damage caused by the Caretaker pulling them to the DeltaQuadrant they could only obtain a max speed of warp4.3 until repairs were completed. Given their precarious situation in unknown space the Damon was wary of walking away from negotiations not knowing when they could possibly meet another species with deflector shield technology leading to the possibility of adding many years to their journey. He believed Maje Cullah was holding out for more technology such as the ships transporters and was a master negotiator however after reading the rules of acquisition cover to cover he took the bold decision to walk away from negotiations believing the Kazon would see sense sooner than later.

The source indicated that following the breakdown of talks they set course to the Gamma Quadrant and after only 3 days they encountered a very helpful Tellaxian who traded them a second hand Trabe Deflector array for 2 cases of Beetlesnuff and 1 phaserwhip.

Always trust in the great material continuum the Ferengi said as they set off on their 35year trip back to the Gamma Quadrant Wormhole.

Sean’s Party - Horseshoe Overlook 1899

Was on a 6 mile stretch of the B90 there where the speed limit goes from 40mph (where I joined)
The limit drops to 30mph close for 400yrds due to dip in road leading to concealed road and junction at school. 400yrds!!

It then goes to National speed limit for 1.5miles before returning to 40 for 1 mile approaching built up area, drop to 30 for 1mile before returning to 40mph for the rest.

It absolutely baffles me how the car behind me sat so close up my cars ass in the 30mins I couldn’t even see their bonnet in rear view mirror!

As soon as it went to national speed limit they dropped back easily quarter mile. By the time I left the second 30mph zone they were right back up my cars ass!

Why do people think it’s ok to drive slower in National speed limit zones but speed through 30mph zones?
If you’re not capable of driving acceptably within the limits why are you driving?

I was max 55/56mph in the national speed limit zone so if my math is correct they could only have been doing 39/40mph to drop back so far! They must have maintained that exact speed through the 30 zone to be right up behind me again.

35% below in a NSL zone

33% over limit in the 30 zones!

The absolute irony btw was the lady was driving a ImpactNi courtesy car! 🤦‍♂️
