Totally agree. I think they’ve realised they can make money in other ways too, that don’t fit the norm. Those who up skill will be the most desired soon, not those with experience.

Totally agree, and I work in a similar fashion, often to keep myself entertained at work more than anything. However, I would argue that I did this at multiple companies before and it didn’t lead to progress - it led to me being taken advantage of without the pay rises and promotions that...

With all due respect, it’s always been like this. It’s always been in the name of some faceless rich person who doesn’t care about you or your family. Just older generations tried to pretend the opposite was true.

I think we’re still having this discussion though, unfortunately. I still work in an office because the company I work for wants control. Presenteeism is what many still use to define hard work, even though I fundamentally disagree with the principle and actually find working in an office can...

Possibly. But I’ve worked across a fair number of sectors and “hard work = rewards” is not my experience, nor is it what I’ve seen others experience. For my personally, I’ve only started really progressing when I stopped caring, and stopped working longer hours, and ultimately prioritised myself.

One of the best lessons I learned early in my career is that it’s not about how hard you work. In fact, “working hard” in the historical sense is generally detrimental to you and you alone. Working hard generally leads to you doing more work and having more stress for the same money, whilst your...

Just off the top of my head, we’ve got the rub of the green in key moments in games against Man Utd, Ipswich, Wolves, Spurs, even City. And that’s just the home games I can think of. In fact, there’s not a home game I’ve walked away from yet and thought, objectively, that we thoroughly deserved...

He’s growing on me. I was really worried about him tactically over the first few games, as we seemed to pick up points almost by luck at times, but he’s clearly adapting to the needs of the league and showing an ability to adapt in game. Yes, he’s got the best squad we’ve ever had and he’s had...

That’s harsh. It’s barely a foul, let alone a yellow. You can’t legislate refereeing incompetence.

You’ve simplified what I said and overlooked the post I was replying to. Nonetheless, whether you choose to admit it or not, there is a huge generational divide in this country. Every available statistic proves that, and illustrates how much harder life is for those 40 and below compared to...

This is the biggest issue. The amount of people of my parents’ era living the life on final salary pensions, in 4 bed houses they bought for £50,000 is scary. Gen X and the following generations simply won’t know such luxury.

I’d say I was of that era. FHM and the like were prime wank bank material.

I’d hate to be single now, quite frankly. I used dating apps for a period when I was, and they were a horrible experience, and I was lucky enough to be one of the guys that did get matches and dates. I know a few of the younger guys at work are on them and they’ll regularly go months with no...

Sweet FA. But the hope keeps me coming back.

I think both. I think our perceptions of beauty have changed as we’re less insular. And similarly, people now have unrealistic expectations.

There’s so many more options available through dating apps. Porn is readily available of all shapes and sizes and perversions. Things like OnlyFans have warped peoples’ minds. When I was younger, you really only had the options of the girls in your local village or school. That’s not the case...

Exactly. I remember when FB started becoming a thing during my uni days.

I mean I grew up in the late 80s and 90s. Most of my time was spent outside. It did start getting super advanced in the mid-90s, with tech like the N64 console, and snake on a brick phone, but really this wasn’t the all consuming experience that takes over the lives of many young kids today.

In hindsight, there was something incredibly quaint about the 5 minutes it took to load one slightly erotic picture. It was effectively a form of edging. I do think it’s modern technology has seriously impacted what we perceive to be attractive though.

You know millennials enjoyed life pre this level of tech, right?
