Whoever is flying it keeps flying it over our back yard, keeps hovering over the row of houses and generally scares the heebyjeebies out of birds, cats, dogs and old people alike. What sort of rights do I have here? The noise is so annoying, a loud, whizzy, propellarly sound that is extremely irritating and the person is clearly filming private property from the air.. It's illegal. CAA rules for recreational drones state they cannot be flown "over or within 150 metres of any congested area" which is defined as "a city, town or settlement, any area which is substantially used for residential, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes" He's also got to keep in in his direct line of site at all times. If its a heavier drone of 20kg or more there are stricter rules as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is full of absolute total made up bollocks. LinkedIn - full of people posting selfies from some work 'event' who are super excited about having to spend yet another evening away from their family; having to socialise and brown nose with a bunch of w4nkers, all because they are too worried about possibly losing their jobs! What also pisses me off is the need to say 'super' before stuff - that super pisses me off! Yes, I've had a drink! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally been in events at work with people and talked to them about how boring it is or pointless it is. Then half an hour later they're posting about it on LinkedIn and how amazing it was and how they love the company. Total bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook has created a world of aunts and uncles becoming coronavirus truthers, QAnon stans, poppy fascists and dipshits who genuinely think that Donald Trump isn't being given a 'fair chance' by the 'liberal media', and Ben Shapiro's bum-fluff blog posts are shared more widely on there than the content of basically every mainstream news outlet added together. Facebook was instrumental in organising a genocide in Myanmar. LinkedIn can't compete, not least because it doesn't have the scale to do that much damage. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook was instrumental in organising a genocide in Myanmar. LinkedIn can't compete, not least because it doesn't have the scale to do that much damage. I am forced to agree. On the one hand FB is personally invaluable to me, as a communication channel with family and friends, but I must admit it's hard to avoid seeing the level of craziness and ignorance that is proliferating out in the wider FB community. I'd like to believe that it's still a small minority that happens to shout loudly, and that the majority of sane folks are just out there not engaging, but I'm becoming increasingly doubtful. It's like watching poison spreading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah I was kind of getting at the amount of lies and bullshit that's on them rather than actually how bad they are. But I should probably rephrase to "annoying" rather than bad or worst. Hard to argue with the Facebook stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Facebook really need to get a grip of the fake news that is going around. Maybe they should ban the sharing of news completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Some of the things I saw on LinkedIn over the weekend. ”I hired someone over 40, aren’t I great” “I hired someone without experience, aren’t I great” ”I hired this guy and he’s doing well” - picture of guy with tattoos all over his head, face and neck... aren’t I great for not judging him. Its an absolute shit hole of bullshit. Because of the reach Facebook does much more damage but my god LinkedIn is ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Similar to a post made by @Stevo985 a few days ago. I'll set the scene, I had just got back from a 5 mile run and the Mrs was cutting the boys hair. Tea was well underway at this point. I said 'does anything need doing with tea' 'no' is the response. I go and sit down, still all sweaty but realise the need to keep an eye on the 18 month old whilst the Mrs hoovers, which she has just started doing. 5 minutes of hoovering and huffing and puffing later ... I ask 'whats wrong' Her 'well, the tea needs sorting, the washing up needs doing, I'm doing the hoovering and you're just sitting there' I will NEVER understand how a woman's brain works.

Genie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I fell into that trap yesterday @Mjvilla Yesterday, chicken in the oven. Me: anything need doing? Her: you could peel some potatoes if you like Me: Sure. (Peels potatoes). Her 10 minutes later: Thanks a lot for leaving the other vegetables to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
