OK. I’ve debugged WülfHelm’s code. He’d been programmed using a signed two digit octal word size. Hence the overflow at:
std::cout << Para(story, postnum++);
I’ve recompiled him using a signed four digit Hex word size, so he can go to 32,767. In practice, he won’t achieve any more than 250 (FA).

So it’s OK to dismiss someone *unfairly* if they haven’t been in post for six months?
OK, that’s better than two years (the present threshold courtesy of Duncan-Smith).
Now. Either ‘unfairly’ has been defined incorrectly in the legislation?
OR
Our lawmakers have no morals?
Possibly, both.

Regarding the state if the nation. We need concise answers to three fundamental questions.

I have been invited to a Tea Party for pensioners.
It’s a nice gesture. I’m glad that there are kind souls in the world that organise such things.
But. No.
I now have to RSVP in a manner that does not offend.
Perhaps @wulfhelm.bsky.social can advise?¹
¹ Probably not my best idea TBH.

I ran across this text on a web site today and it occurred to me that it is a deliberate attempt to confuse people with an average or below reading age rope them into recieving marketing mails and texts.
So I put it through a reading level checker out of curiosity.

I’m a firm believer in the axiom:
“You get the behaviours that you reward.”
So politicians behave in a manner that wins the most votes and not in a manner that gets the best results.
This is why an electorate that rewards untenable promises with their vote is frequently disappointed.

It appears to me that creating a contentious wedge issue to polarise and divide public opinion, is that it will never be resolved. However many people flock to a cause, the most entrenched opposition will always continue fight. In some cases for generations after the cause is rendered irrelevant.

Y’know. Given that so much unwelcome shit occurs unbidden in this world, why do some people thrive on elevating their own standing by making life appallingly distressing for others?
I’m uncomfortably close making three score years and ten trips around the sun and I still don’t fucking get it.
