13:57:46 <MrMobodies> by saying it is worth x amount when that is not the case
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> "worth"
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> gambing... but this £1 card that is worth £5.... when you win x amount blah blah blah
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> *buy not but
13:57:46 <rust_collector> it is not impossible that they did spend that much on it. But... meh, who knows
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> maybe they did spend 6 million on hosting but thought they'd "recycle" that figure it onto that
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> I mean 6 million elsewhere
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> we spend 6millons pounds on hosting... okay
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> "but we do it all for you... disabled folks"
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> if that is the case, is it bit like what they say about "beind the truth"?
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> oooh sorry
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> "bending the truth"
13:57:46 <rust_collector> up here, we have things like... spending xx millions on educating...say 300 police, then not employing them, so... what is the point? but they can say they spent millions on educating police
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> interesting
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> not directly helping the disabled folks into work
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> or government help
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> but advising the employers
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> My case worker had to leave her job. She had a daughter with DOWNS syndrome
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> they cut her respite care and other stuff
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> the case worker had to work at home and look after her daughter at the same time
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> so she couldn't manage and had to leave
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> they granted her, benefits and carers allowance and quite easily, normally not easy to get those
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> so they cut her up, I loose opportunities when she went off sick
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> and now they are paying out more through her claiming other benefits
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> and her own because she is no longer working
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> basically shooting themselves in the foot
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> so they advise instead
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> when I was a charity in my other area, the employers there didn't even honor the "Disability confident" or "two tick scheme" where we told they had secure us a interview

13:57:46 <MrMobodies> actually I just rememered somehting
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> they wanted to run a campaign on advising people to use less electricity
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> and was told by Whitehall to forget as peope are forced to do that already
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> https://www.marketing-beat.co.uk/2022/10/10/government-pulls-campaign/
13:57:46 <EEVBot> [url] Government pulls energy use advice campaign, citing £15m taxpayer bill - Marketing Beat | www.marketing-beat.co.uk
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> Inteesting pattern
13:57:46 <MrMobodies> I think they are looking at opportunities to charge the tax payer

17:18:29 <electrohead> mouses or mice?
17:18:31 <electrohead> :p
17:24:45 <steve30> meow
17:25:41 <Kuschelpony> uhm, please excuse my ignorance for the fine details of the english language
17:26:03 <Kuschelpony> if you have to ask such a question this likely means i have mistranslated something
17:27:10 <steve30> Mice is plural of Mouse. But Mouses is often used as the plural of computer mouse.
17:31:09 <Kuschelpony> thanks
17:37:34 <electrohead> Kuschelpony: all is good, I was just being a goof, that's all
17:37:38 <electrohead> and hey steve30 o/
17:37:55 * steve30 paws at electrohead
17:39:20 * electrohead coughs up a hairball
17:39:34 <electrohead> speaking of, my cat did that a few days ago, but right into one of my fucking vents >.<
17:39:43 <electrohead> so frustrating
17:39:49 <electrohead> the joys of having HVAC, lol
17:48:15 <steve30> hehe
17:49:27 <Kuschelpony> sorry major personal insecurities and social anxiety running wild
17:56:24 <electrohead> you're good, mate
17:56:28 * electrohead offers a beer
17:57:36 <Kuschelpony> i think i have messed up, failed and repulsed at least two other people (in very diferent places than here) that i badly wanted to get in contact
18:08:32 <steve30> i really should get my bike fixed today
