If you’ve been told once and your job hangs in the balance, then perhaps that’s a sign of needlessly strict management, but if I just got a stern “please don’t swear in front of the public” I’d just stop swearing.

I thought Manchester United.

The Germanic /w/ phoneme was, therefore, written as ⟨VV⟩ or ⟨uu⟩ (⟨u⟩ and ⟨v⟩ becoming distinct only by the Early Modern period) by the earliest writers of Old English and Old High German, in the 7th or 8th centuries.[8] Gothic (not Latin-based), by contrast, had simply used a letter based on the Greek Υ for the same sound in the 4th century. The digraph ⟨VV⟩/⟨uu⟩ was also used in Medieval Latin to represent Germanic names, including Gothic ones like Wamba.

It is from this ⟨uu⟩ digraph that the modern name “double U” derives. The digraph was commonly used in the spelling of Old High German but only in the earliest texts in Old English, where the /w/ sound soon came to be represented by borrowing the rune ⟨ᚹ⟩, adapted as the Latin letter wynn: ⟨ƿ⟩. In early Middle English, following the 11th-century Norman Conquest, ⟨uu⟩ regained popularity; by 1300, it had taken wynn’s place in common use.

Well, I don’t agree that making an offensive joke is necessarily being an arsehole, but I suppose you are right in principle.

Now he’s Sitting Straight, I suppose. Sorry, that’s in awful taste.

Perhaps that’s a $99 discount on the next amount owed?

Actually some of the most naïve people I’ve ever met were theretofore academically successful.

If we ditched the daft names?

there was no way to look up what those words meant to the person writing them

As opposed to unsuccessfully winning.

I actually thought that as soon as I saw it.

If they’re anything like me, they might be laughing simply because they get the pun.

Look at all these normie answers, and no one mentioning Minit. https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=zRIRyK2pHh8&listen=1

Well, good lad!

They do!

I get the feeling they’re tied to public transport times, but then the first bus or train of the day usually comes at the same time. I used to work on the railway and sometimes I’d have to start work at like 05:17 or finish at 00:06 or whatever.

If they’re food places, that’s either because the food takes longer than ten minutes, or because it’d been slow and they’d started packing up, or they were lying because they wanted to go home on time. Almost nothing more annoying than someone coming right at the end of your shift to order food.

If the actual problem is that you yourself are too hot, cool yourself instead. A trick I’ve picked up working in kitchens, where it’s very fucking hot indeed, is to wet your nape and forearms regularly. You can wear a wet hat too. Doesn’t really take advantage of the unlimited water but it gets you there.

This reminds me of the time I asked someone on Twitter if they knew the name of the book they were referencing and they replied “it’s not my job to educate you,” then told me anyway.
