Another good one is to mention there being health issues in the family that necessitated you take time to help them with.

Only a very nosy employer will question that further. If they give you grief for helping your loved ones in such a situation, they probably aren't worth working for

This comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I had no idea the arctic is called that because it was the Greek for 'of the bear' because they used Ursa Major to guide them north. And the the arctic is the most northerly point.

Fucking wild. Mind blown.

Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise

I spend a lot of time in Ireland and tbh I can't remember the last time I saw an ad for regular alcoholic drinks like beers and whiskeys.. However a lot of these companies skirt around rules, at least here at the moment, by making ads about non alcoholic versions instead. So you see a lot of Guinness 0.0 and Heineken 0.0 etc.

Tbh even that should banned at this stage too.

What's worse though is gambling advertising. I fucking hate that shit so much. Its popularity preys on desperate people and further drives the K shaped economy we are seeing nowadays. Its so fucked up.
