The quickest way I actually did see someone get fired at my place was by posting racist shit on Facebook - on an account that was followed by many of his colleagues, including his manager. He was summarily dismissed at the start of his next shift.

Another one stole customers’ credit card numbers, but that one ended up with a criminal record.

I think I’ll remain agnostic on that one. Ask me again in 50 years and I’ll probably know the answer by then. Unless I happen to somehow reach the age of 106 without dying, in which case I’ll take a raincheck.

The Peak District is right on my doorstep (I’m near Manchester). Monsal Dale, near Little Longstone, is lovely. It was a regular place ofr my family to visit when I was a kid, and I still go up there sometimes. The walk along the river from there to Millers Dale is lovely. And there’s a pub at Monsal dale viaduct (or at least, there was, not sure if it’s still open).

More locally, I like the area around Uppermill, Diggle and Delph (north-east of Oldham). There’s a great little riverside cafe caled the Lime Kiln, just north of Uppermill. It gets busy at weekends though.

A couple of weeks ago I went up to the Northumbria coast for a holiday. Warkworth, Alnwick, Bamburgh, Holy Island… it’s all beautiful around there.

It seems that this happens when you subscribe to a community on a different instance from your own. You can still read, post and interact exactly as if you were fully subscribed, you’re just not counted in the number of subscribers. I’ve been told that you can force the system to subscribe you properly by repeatedly unsubbing and re-subbing, but I’ve had no luck with doing that so I just leave them alone now.

I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.

yes, because no ads basically means my antivirus software has nothing to do. Creators have no choice over what ads are served up with the content and 99% of ads are loaded with malware whether you click on them or not.

Creators need to come up with better ways to monetise their content instead of relying on them.
