I hope you're aware that Westwood Studios programmed their difficulty levels based on decades of psychology dissertations, psychiatric studies, and years of research,so that the AI would perform the appropriate strategies required for that level. It's a microcosm of class, IQ, social status, and genital size. Not being able to perform on the 'normal' setting means that you really aren't normal. It means that you're constantly paying interest on payday loans, that you likely have twelve fingers, but can't use any of them to bring someone to orgasm, that you complain about the weather because your default means of communication is to describe what you're experiencing and then hope that everyone else saw what you just saw and will agree, to confirm whether or not you're hallucinating, and that you put strawberry bonbons down your dickhole.

If your drive is blocked call the police (appropriately enough on 101) or the council and they may be able to remove the obstruction. Historically, a car blocked in the drive was a higher priority than an empty drive, but these days in many places the council is now in charge, and they tend to care even less than the police.

Council won't give a shit, and I doubt they would send someone around. I doubt the police would come around too. Maybe both of them would come around a week later and ask what all the fuss was about. In the mean time, the drive blocking cunt won't get what's coming to him.

This just strengthens my belief that all citizens must be armed. People would be more respectful if they know that they can't get away with being cunts. I'm not saying shoot them, but challenge them to a duel at noon or something.

When it comes to money-grubbing, council parking enforcement people put letting agents to shame. Drop a fiver in their offices and they'll pocket it and charge you an admin fee. To justify their continued existence, they need to keep the numbers up, and if you report a blocked drive you hand them a free tow and an easy £300 from the twat who parked across your drive.

Every radio station is horrendous. At my work near Liverpool we have to listen to Radio City or Radio City 2. The former plays the same five tired pop songs on repeat, and the latter is an unending nostalgia trip for the baby boomers that are too stupid to work out how to listen to music online. Both of these shitty playlists are interspersed with poor quality advertisements.

This.

You lads ever have it where just as you get comfortable in bed ready to sleep its then that you realise you have to pee. So you have to spend a minute or two mentally psyching up yourself to get out of the bedsheet cocoon you've made and walk into the cold bathroom otherwise the fear is you will piss the bed?

I know its disgusting but I've had this happen to me 3 times this week and frankly I'm wondering if I should just invest in a piss bottle.

This is a near daily occurrence once you get past a certain age. I have a feeling it's something to do with lying down making gravity slosh your pee around inside your bladder bag and only then informing your brain that you need to go weewee.

In other news, I feel a stabbing pain in my heart every time I remember the recent news regarding what.cd. The internet music community has truly lost something so singular and unequaled that I feel we probably won't see its like again.

Unfortunately I've been cursed with the need to drive for a job over the past year. I passed my test ages ago but only over the last 12 or so months have I had to drive regularly and I can't stand it.

Is it just me or is the testing not stringent enough?

The road is populated with morons. Today I had somebody beeping and gesticulating furiously because even though the light was green, I stayed at the lights because going forward would have made me join a queue which would then block an adjacent junction when the lights changed.

They couldn't seem to grasp that I wasn't sitting at a green light for fun and that I wasn't going to be one of those idiots who block another junction to get one set of traffic lights ahead, even though it would've caused more traffic. They then had the cheek to stare at me as they drove past later down the road as if I was the idiot!

On that note, why do so many people seem unable to comprehend that if the light is on green, but there's no space to go/ you'll block another junction and cause more traffic, you DO NOT have to go? Half of the time I spend driving home from work is waiting for traffic that could easily be avoided to clear.
It honestly drives me mad, I've also had somebody fly out from across the road as I was turning left and they were making a right turn. As they blocked the road I stopped to let them go (they shouldn't have shot out and panicked, but it's fine, we all misjudge some situations), and the car behind on the main road, seeing me having to wait stationary for the other car to go, slammed on last minute and started beeping. I asked him to pull down his window and he seemed to think that because he was on the main road and I was half way out he was entitled to carry on going full speed and I had to somehow get out of his way.

I appreciate this is coming off as a bit of a rant but I cannot fathom how these people function, the roads are full of absolute morons who I'm not convinced have done enough learning before being given a licence.

As a dad myself I'd recommend books or clothes, something that's both generically useful but allows you some kind of freedom of expression to show that you tried to buy something to match the kid's personality or likes.

> There was never any mention of penetration, the phone was simply resting on her bits and set to vibrate.

It's amazing how we all remember this differently. Maybe we're all suffering from PTSD still after all these years and have blocked different bits out. I don't remember anything about the phone being set to vibrate, but I do remember him specially making the noise "boop boop" as he prodded the external genitalia with said phone.

It just really fucks me off, being a cunt I don't mind, but being a dumb cunt really winds me up.

The same people complaining behind me for not blocking a junction will be the same arseholes complaining at the next one that somebody is blocking them.

There's honestly a special place in hell for shit drivers, and that includes those fucking middle aged women who buy near-army jeep 4x4s to drive around in even though they live in suburbia. I could live with it if they didn't struggle to park the fuckers or have any spatial awareness.

There was no vibration. I certainly don't remember any BOOP BOOP as he did it. All I can recall is that he rubbed his iPhone on his daughter's fanny in front of other people because he thought it'd be a hilarious joke.

Today I had a bloke blare his horn at me for about five seconds solid in the car park when I nearly reversed out in front of him. I bet he was screaming and cursing at the blind bastard just reversing straight out without a care in the world.

Except-

He was the knobhead going the wrong way down a clearly marked one way system, in the pitch black and pouring rain, at what must have been about 40 fucking miles an hour. Out of the two of us, I really don't think I was the driver causing a hazard in that instance.

It's also an age thing. When younger, I got a lot more wound up about poor driving and cunts on the road. Now I tend to take it all a bit easier, drive a bit safer and just ignore the cunts and try not to give anywhere near as much of a fuck if someone else drives like a nonce.

Motorbike riding for a few years also helps, everyone is a cunt to you when you're on a bike; breeds a special kind of patience.

Or you could say that it provides them with food and a roof over their head, so that they can then practice their art. I don't buy the argument, at all, that an artists integrity is compromised because they earn some money or were paid by the minute or word.

This does destroy my argument though -

You don't buy the argument because you fail basic comprehension.

I am saying the method in which their art is measured influnces what they produce, not that it is bad to pay artists. if you pay people by the minuite expect padded out drivel. There is no argument to be had, youtube started paying people by the minuite and the videos all got longer. If you pay them by the click expect nothing but a provcative title (like buzz feed). The metric that you pay people by informs how they will behave and who will be sucessful in that enviroment. This is economics 101.

They're organised by size and series. Sensibly on the middle shelf he's put the bigger books at the edges which is both a pleasant aesthetic choice and prevents it bucking even further. I do something similar although my shelves being regular sizes I can keep the heavier books at the bottom.

Depends on the graph, I've seen it used to obfuscate the reality a lot in my work, and push a paticular interperetation. By making a change look either dramatic or insignificant, or by cutting off some key detail that happened just before or after the graph.

The general public are appallingly bad at interpreting data; clinicians are scarcely better. The whole point of a chart is to make data more comprehensible. If it doesn't achieve that, then it's worse than a blank space.

This issue is made alarmingly clear if you ever have to do user testing on documentation. Readers aren't necessarily stupid, but they are lazy and inattentive. The vast majority of documents are skimmed rather than read. Copy and graphics that seem perfectly clear often achieve <30% comprehension amongst a degree-educated cohort. If a document seems insultingly simple, it's still probably not simple enough. A chart that requires close inspection to understand is either meaningless or deceptive.

If anybody is having a bad day, don't feel too bad.

Last night I went to the pub to drown my sorrows as I've lost my job.

I woke up late this morning for my last day and rushed out of the house. Fell on some ice and banged my side.

If that wasn't bad enough, I had to then de-ice the car. That finally happened when the car warmed up after about five minutes and I didn't have much fuel but it said that there was 80 miles and work is only 30 away.

I started driving and as soon as I joined the motorway and drove past the service station it started saying there was less than 40, then less than 30 miles left even though it had said 80 just 10 minutes before.

I was trying to drive carefully by not going too fast to save fuel, except that to cure my hangover I drank unholy amounts of water to re-hydrate.

Suddenly the need for a vicious beer shit and a bladder wrenching piss come on and I was stuck between pissing and shitting myself in my car or going faster to get to a toilet but using more fuel and probably running out on the motorway.

I just about made it to a service station and only one cubicle was free, covered in shit, that's why it was free. It didn't matter because I was so desperate and so late for work.

Finally got in, let my arse explode, realised there was no toilet paper.

It's not been a good day.

Nobody says anything negative in references any more, for fear of legal action.

I'm saying that it's pretty hard to actually obtain bad references and 99% of them will just be a default HR template with your manager's signature on. Presuming you were an alright employee the rest of the time you worked there, nobody is going to begrudge you a half-arsed or phoned-in final day.

This is going to be especially true if you were made redundant rather than fired for any sort of misconduct, because if that was the case then you've obviously fucking blown it in terms of references to begin with haven't you.

It isn't any cheaper. Their standard "existing customer deals" thing says that if I want to drop the telly completely, I lose the bundle rate and actually end up paying more.

If you're near the end of your contract or if your contract has lapsed, haggle. Find the best deal from a rival provider and ask them to match it. If you're polite but persistent they'll match any fibre broadband deal, including promotional offers.

Offers from customer service:
- £6 a month off the bill
- £10 a month off the bill
- £10 a month off the bill and a £30 credit

As for matching rates, I quoted their own front page and was flat out refused. Still, a little more generous than what I was expecting from first-line. That suggests that I might be able to double that saving in retentions.

I figure that I should at least make them think I'm going to leave. A couple of people in the know have suggested to me that if you just call straight through to retentions and just demand a discount they'll be a little less generous than if they think you're genuinely going. I also figure that if I've already got some concession out of them my negotiating position is a bit better. I say this as someone who has called retention departments before and had my bluff called on more than one occasion.

I just had my video interview for the civil service fast stream.

One of the few redeeming qualities that I have is my ability to talk convincingly and do well at interviews.


Except that their interview on the computer doesn't even have a person at the other end, it literally just spouts a question and then records you responding to it and speaking for two or three minutes in its entirety.

So basically alls that happened was me trying to not to focus on my ugly mug on the screen and forgetting how to speak and feeling unnatural as I had no visual indicators of whether what I was saying was good.

What a shite system, annoyed that that's it for me now. Who the fuck thinks they're a good idea?

I did practice though lad, and you forget that not everybody is a uni student applying for this, some of us have real experience too.

I admit I part underestimated how weird it is being recorded and not having any communication from the other end, but there's really no way to prepare how to feel natural speaking one way to a video interview.

I normally ace in person interviews yet I've probably lost out because of the format, which is annoying, given that if it had of been the same format as last year and in person I would have at least passed this stage with ease.

What the fuck do you even say to that? I'm not a racist, but I probably sound like one now.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest, so I waffled about how it provides a unique and different perspective for the advantages and for the challenges I said people might not feel as confident with diverse workforces or feel like they can confidently approach the topic.

It feels like a trick question. My manager (an Asian) asked me a similarly tricksy thing. He asked where I was from, and I answered, and he said "Lot of Asians there, you can't get away from us can you?". No answer for that is good. If I say "No I can't" it makes me seem like I'm trying to escape them. If I say "Yes I can" it makes me seem like I'm trying successfully to escape them. If I say "I don't mind" it sounds like half-hearted tolerance. This is why I don't speak to people.

Think about it in terms of skillsets rather than race like IT monkeys working with normal people. Benefits come in bringing different skills and perspectives to a team while challenges can be in communication.

With these questions its best to use an example of a previous case. I'd use my previous experience working with Germans who tend to be quite short and blunt in work communications and hold no concept of -ish but we learnt to understand one another and become a cohesive group after meeting up for social drinks. Problem-Solution.

I've been working from home for the past couple of days but have had to keep the curtains drawn because if I'm sat in my usual position the low sun is more or less directly on me until around 1pm. It's been useful for wanking since discovering the balcony next door can overlook my flat.

Yesterday I got to flirting with my hairdresser for a bit of fun as you do with women in the service industry. As is the normal routine I did really well on account of not really caring.

I got a good natter in with playful teasing and its obvious she fancies me a little. At least that is what I'm choosing to believe with all the playful touching, discount and her doing a really good job with it. The problem is I got carried away and told a few lies to grease the conversation along (lets be honest nobody cares about lying to such people). Only when I left did I realise I can probably never go there again because she will recognize me and continue the web of lies I've made for myself.

I wouldn't have this problem if the bloke who normally cuts my hair was in but I foolishly agreed to have a woman cut my hair despite knowing full well it always ends badly.

Isn't that what hairdressers do? Their main job is to give you a good haircut, chat and make friendlies with you and make you feel at home and give you reason to come back. If that's not the case, my hairdresser has wanted to bang me since I was a very young lad.

If a woman doing her job is flirting with you, she's actually probably not flirting with you, sorry.

My girlfriend works in the restaurant business, manages now but used to wait on tables.

She's quite pretty and likes money and extra tips. She isn't the flirty type, but she would smile and chat with customers and if she could help them out (go on lads, you come in a regularly I'll let you have that half burnt starter for free type thing) and she never stopped coming home mentioning how lads who saw her being nice and doing her job to keep them happy and earn a tip thought that meant she was being nice to them because she wanted to and she fancied them.

It is really quite embarrassing and I've seen it first hand myself.

People in the service industry are nice because they are in the service industry and being nice is what counts, very rarely will they flirt with you whilst working.

Getting a good haircut and chatting with you is the minimum I'd expect from any barber. I'm not saying she wasn't 100% flirting with him, but this is all too common a mistake people make.

My dear friend who is a functioning social alcoholic thinks the woman who sells him his daily bottle of vodka at the Co-Op fancies him because she smiles at him. He's about twice her age, bald and short. He isn't daft and can be completely perceptive in other ways. I think this 'all women fancy me' thing some men have comes from unquenchable and nigh heroic optimism and should be celebrated as long as they do not become a nuisance to the ladies who have to serve them.

It's re-advertised and I figured I'd ring and ask if I was allowed to reapply, even though I never even got a rejection last time.

I had no idea flirting with a hairdresser could get so many peoples backs up. Should I march right back to the shop and collect video footage of an arse pissing or would you rather I instead court her for a number of years so I can post the wedding photos for you lads who assume I'm some kind of sex pest?

Maybe >>24522 is right and I was raped. I was wrapped in one of those apron things when she decided to warm her hands on my ears. Tell me I asked for it, I dare you!

Christ. The point of the story was how even little lies to strangers can come back to bite you.

From experience its more likely they didn't email anyone back than you 'slipped through the cracks'. Who knows though, maybe the guy on the other end doesn't have any clue at all and they just have more vacancies in the same position to fill.

Well I'm not him and maybe its a case of different tastes but I found Crewe a fair enough place when I missed the last train a few years back. If you head a few metres up the road you walk through a typical high street with an unusual concentration of Thai business including the inevitable seedy massage parlours if memory serves me well. Not that I would know anything about that.

That being said, 2 xmas parties ago, one of my more autistic co-workers got so blind drunk he grabbed the tits of this very well endowed girl who also worked with us. Needless to say, we had to keep him away from the bar and not get them to serve any drink. Also, any sort of relationship he had with that girl was smashed to bits and we were also guilty by association - so we became relegated to the loser lunch group table. Thanks Zak.

It's potentially an offence under Section 5 of the Public Order Act:

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if he—

(a)uses threatening or abusive words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or

(b)displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening or abusive,

within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.

(2)An offence under this section may be committed in a public or a private place, except that no offence is committed where the words or behaviour are used, or the writing, sign or other visible representation is displayed, by a person inside a dwelling and the other person is also inside that or another dwelling.

(3)It is a defence for the accused to prove—

(a)that he had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress, or

(b)that he was inside a dwelling and had no reason to believe that the words or behaviour used, or the writing, sign or other visible representation displayed, would be heard or seen by a person outside that or any other dwelling, or

(c)that his conduct was reasonable.

Two (interrelated) /101/s.

1) My landlord is a scab who for some reason chose to burden us with TalkTalk as an ISP. As such (probably something to do with the thing about TalkTalk routers being hijacked for a botnet) my internet's been barely usable for the last week or two.

2) I came across a 'physical' PC copy of Fallout 4 on Amazon for about £12 which I ordered in time for my day off today, thinking I wouldn't need serviceable internet to play it. My ignorance of contemporary PC gaming meant I was surprised to find the disc didn't contain the full game. I'm not sure what I was expecting (either for it to be a really small game or to be contained across multiple discs?) but it turns out I have to download over 24gb of files on Steam if I want to actually play it. So now I have more junk to fill my room with, but nothing to play.

< This.

In a way I like the openness with which someone out walking in the country side can cheerfully say hello to anyone they pass, compared to a city where you just ignore everyone, but still, I'm out in the country to get away from people. I don't want to have the awkwardness of seeing someone approaching, wondering "are they the type of people who will say morning or just walk past", getting neck-and-neck with them just as they say hello, then responding to them just a little to late, half-coughing and half saying morning by the time they're already behind me.

Also, is it socially acceptable for me to pet someone elses dog if it walks up to me?

Why can't you say hello to people you freak? It's a few words, not giving you their life story. If you see someone, don't stare as they approach, smile if you catch their eye, and greet them if they do so to you, even if they are behind you, because they will think less of you for ignoring them over responding a bit late. Simple as that.

As for dogs, yeah it is, but you might want to glance at the owner first to make sure they aren't violent chavscum that might take affront at this. But probably unlikely in the countryside.

Why? I have hundreds of contacts on my phone, and it never bothers me because a) modern phones have more than 1kB of memory and b) I don't scroll through the names in series, I type in someone's name or select from recent chats.

If for some reason you are still using a Nokia 3310 and can't handle more than the number of contacts you can store on your SIM then I recommend you clear out your unused contacts yourself rather than expecting everyone else to pander to your attention seeking.

Lads for work today I had to be in London and I sat on a bench looking at the river looking at some notes.

These two young girls with one of them big black cameras stood across from me and one of them looked sheepish and the other I could see was pointing it at me.

I looked up and she moved it a bit but then still seemed to take a photo anyway. I just sort of looked and she waved and smiled and then they walked away.

What did they mean by this? They didn't even seem bothered and she just smiled and waved at me.

It annoyed me that some randomers were taking photos of me but I didn't want to look a tool chasing down two girls saying they've taken a photo of me without definite proof.

It annoys me how this weird stuff always happens to me.

As a film photographer I can honestly say that I hate most street photography. Partly because it's tough as fuck, and partly because you can really upset people these days by snapping their photo.

There was a golden-age about 30-50 years ago where it was uncommon for someone to just wander about and take snaps of random shite on the street.

As >>24661 points out, Bresson was the god of street photography, and he captured moments on a very difficult medium, on a camera that had none of the aids that modern cameras have today. Garry Winogrand was also a superb street photographer capturing moments like no other.

As you might have not been aware of what happened to you, but rest assured there were probably no nefarious motives behind it. You just have to deal with the fact that people may take pictures of you, if they were aggressive/intrusive, then you might have a case, otherwise I wouldn't give a shit.

Just been ID'd to buy two scratch cards, even though the age for them is 16. I'm just shy of 23.

For the record, I can't remember the last time I got asked for ID for anything, nevermind a scratch card, so I did feel a bit awkward holding everybody up routing through my wallet for my licence. The fact that you can't get a provisional until you're 17 didn't seem to deter the woman rigorously inspecting my driving licence either (which funnily enough, looks fuck all like me now, so is a terrible way of checking proof of who I am).

I never was arsed when people used to ask me for it all the time, but I have to say I'm strangely offended that she couldn't feel confident in asserting that I'd definitely left year 10.

I realise if I go to a Hungry Horse pub it's going to be expected that some parents will treat it like a crèche but today well and truly took the piss. A man took his five kids and proceeded to sit there and drink at least four pints (no food was ordered for him or the children) whilst he left them to it. They barricaded themselves in the kids area (a bunch of amusement machines rather than a play area) before climbing on top of the machines and violently rocking them, telling other kids they weren't allowed to come in and shaking the machines with prizes in to try and get them to fall out. I know it's been a wet and windy day, but if you want to let your kids burn off some energy don't take them to a pub.

28 here. I've begun to get annoyed when I'm not asked for ID even when I shave the beard off when I enter clubs with my friends who range between 21 to 25. All of which get id'd.

The days when I hid a baby face under this beard is sadly over. Turns out there's an old bastard hiding underneath it now. A fat old bastard who no longer has the metabolism. I just know the bouncer is wondering why he let in the aging has-been in his establishment where the 18 year olds go.

Reminds me of Greg Davies who said once you turn 30 you don't get a nightclub pamphlet when you walk past a promoter.

The civil service appear to be absolutely useless lads.

I've made it through to the assessment centre for the fast stream and I need to log in to a special website that they've given me a username and password for.

It doesn't fucking work and I keep ringing them and they say 'we've reset the password,try now' and it doesn't fucking work. The worst part is the people on the phone are lovely so I can't get mad at them, but when I explain I've tried it they just say it's fine on their end, even though I've tried it on several different things.

I've tried recovering the password by entering my email address but that doesn't work either.

Are they always this fucking bad? It's genuinely putting me off working for them.

It's like a dream job but their internal processes seem to be absolutely abysmal, the website also looks like it just crawled out of 1995 too.

It's a stable and generic career path for graduates. I've gone for (and failed at) the generalist and diplomatic fast streams two years in a row. It's one of those things you really do need to study for, the aptitude tests are tricky and designed to weed out half-arsers.

Perhaps I didn't approach my application with enough conviction as a) I'm already in another fairly rewarding career path and b) my political views wouldn't always gel well if I were suddenly put on placement in the MOD.

EA's download client, Origin, has recieved a terrible facelift since I last used it a few months back. It used to look like a slightly less intuitive Steam, which was fine, but no it has this great big side bar you can't get rid of. It's not 1997, this isn't some new fangled concept, just stop cocking up your UI. It seems like a minor thing, but Origin now looks like it was redesigned for a world where 3400x1360 is the average screen resolution. I only even use Origin for a single game, but dodgy UIs are something that really winds me up.

The NHS released a new quiz you can do to tell you how healthy you are and provide tips on improving things. Worth a look:
https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/hay

Of course this is /101/ so things go rapidly south when it indirectly asks you to tell it your insecurities regarding health. I put being able to fit in all my clothes for one which lead to the quiz calling me a fat bastard in a patronizing tone every time I didn't get a perfect score.

This particularly got on my tits when it called me fat for not doing enough strength exercise despite doing aerobic exercise for 2 hours 5 times a week. Giving me advice in this fashion doesn't make me want to get fitter, it makes me want to lamp someone. I'm going for a fag in an act of defiance.

I was waiting in the passenger seat of a carpark whilst my gf run inside to get something from the shop.

Some woman driving on a phone pulls up right next to me, not realising I was in the car and opened her car door (not in a 'accidentally swung too far, my bad' way, but in a it made a huge thud and she didn't even seem to care way) so I opened the door and asked her what she thought she was doing and that she should be more careful.

Her saying 'sorry, I didn't mean to' would probably have been enough, but instead she took it upon herself to have some sort of meltdown in the carpark by first claiming she didn't hit it, then when I insisted she did, she said her finger was there (couldn't have been as she had the phone in her hand to her ear), then she said it was because she was on the phone (as if that made it okay), and finally said it was because she was making an urgent appointment at A and E despite the fact that you don't make appointments at A and E and if you actually need to be there you don't go shopping first.

She stormed off in a hugg, then cme back out whilst I was talking to my girlfriend and starting randomly shouting again, literally at the top of her lungs about how she didn't hit it and I asked her to calm down and she got in her car, then opened the door AGAIN, and started screaming about how she'd had a big operation, reversed out of her space, started screaming inside her car (with her window up so we couldn't hear) and then drove off.

Probably one of the most bizarre things to happen to me recently, I've never met somebody so unhinged. She literally just lost it, when all she needed to do was say sorry.

/101/ing the selfish cunts of society who don't respect other people's property and when they get caught being a cunt try lying despite the fact that they've been caught red handed, before shouting like a lunatic and blaming it on a made up need to be at A and E as if having health problems (which everybody gets at some point) was a valid excuse for being a cunt and twatting people's cars.

Not him, but when I do a post on here (or on 420chan when I used to post there. I only ever lurked on the other place and that was 10 years ago) and it gets a good response, it does make me feel kind of proud. Not the pride you get from accomplishing something, or the kind you get when you've earned a wage and you're buying things with your own money; it's not linked to success, but it's not quite linked to verification either. I think it just scratches a deep seated desire I have to be amusing, and I know why I do this - it's developed from childhood encounters that made me mistrusting of others, whilst simultaneously harbouring a need to make people laugh. It's a bit of a conflict, so an anonymous imageboard threatening practically no repercussions is a good place for someone like me to scratch my itch.

I also tend to buy into subcultures pretty hard. When I went on raids 10 years ago, anyone who would break rules 1 & 2 would make me, uh, facepalm. In real life you'd maybe even think I wasn't into this kind of internet use, because I just don't mention these things. In fact, memes rarely do anything but disappoint me or make me cringe these days. I always thought the point was to create OC and share it with others on here, which is why I still think meme repost groups are kind of lame.

Imageboards offer a platform for you to tell stories, jokes, pranks, trolling, whatever, in a different format to other forms of media, with an instant audience. Obviously though, it's anonymous, so any merit you receive is completely private. So really, I suppose it does comes down to validation.

But what about cyclists? Not are they nonces, but are they supposed to stop at lights? I already know they are, so to the big, bald, fuck I shouted "oi, lights!" at today and was subsequently told to "*muffled* off" by, eat my dick, bitch tits.

And I'm not someone who cries and moans about cyclists on the regular, because I usually am one, and I know for a fact this particular junction is time consuming, but perfectly safe. Something bombing across it while a load of kids are pouring out of a nearby school isn't.

Consider it a rite of passage. If you ride long enough, you're bound to drop a bike at some point. If you're lucky, you drop an unfaired bike when no-one's looking.

Steel, mostly. There are a lot of sticky-outy bits on the sides that tend to fall off when you drop a bike - mirrors, brake/clutch levers, footpegs, indicators etc. Sportsbikes also have a big plastic cover to make the front end more aerodynamic; these covers are made out of a similar plastic to car bumpers, so they're tough but not indestructible. Dropping a bike tends to do superficial but ugly damage to a bike.

The real problem is often picking the fucker back up. A light sportsbike weighs about 25 stone and a big Harley-style cruiser can weigh as much as 70 stone. There's a special technique that involves shoving the bike with your arse - it looks ridiculous, but it's often the only way to get the bike back on its wheels.

This is the main story on the Guardian:

Hard Brexit means retiring later, Britons warned

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jan/15/hard-brexit-means-retiring-later-britons-warned

But then you actually delve into the article and the entire basis of the research is pure fantasy...

In the modelling, Harper’s team predicted that if migration were stopped, it would have a serious impact on workers, necessitating “far longer working lives”.

“However, if all migration into the UK was to be halted, then over the next five years, those coming up to retirement would have to work about one-and-a-half years longer just in order to maintain current output [of GDP]. Indeed, any significant reduction in labour immigration would wipe out the projected benefits to GDP of small delays in retirement, or require far longer working lives.”


Net migration isn't going to reduce to zero. Not even UKIP are advocating no immigration whatsoever.

It's absolute nonsense; there's going to be enough downsides to Brexit without having to make a load of shite up. The primary business model at the Guardian at the moment seems to be to shoehorn Brexit into absolutely everything in order to generate revenue from all the furious comments they've managed to stir up; the one in question had over 2,000 before they switched it off. I also seem to recall there being over 5,000 comments BTL about Brexit on Christmas Day after they'd stirred up a few things to argue about, they can't give it a rest for even one day. The majority aren't even insightful, they're simply "Brextard" or "Remainiac" spammed ad nauseum.

I already worry about the mental health of Guardian readers as it is, as the paper is mean world syndrome personified, but they're making it much worse through active incitement and whipping up tension, with all the bile that follows, all for the sake of increasing the number of hits to their website.

Wave 1 of ad impressions: Guardian-reading remainers clicking on the article because it vindicates their beliefs
Wave 2: remainers sharing on Facebook
Wave 3: brexiters rageclicking, resharing on their Facebook
Wave 4 to ∞: endless bickering in the comments section

The article will have cost the Guardian almost nothing to publish, because it's basically a paraphrased press release from the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing. I'd be astonished if it took more than one person-day, so about £200 tops. It already has nearly 2500 comments, which implies 300,000 to 500,000 page views. Based on The Guardian's rate card, that's at least £30,000 in ad revenue. Not a bad day in the office, by any means.

Why not make that the focal point of the article instead of a ludicrous model based on zero immigration? It's clear the whole thing is designed for clickbait and creating the most sensationalist headline possible.

I didn't see a link to the study in the article, so I'm unsure what their definition of a "significant" reduction in immigration is nor whether they've treated immigrants as a homogeneous blob where a doctor and a takeaway delivery driver have the same economic value.

Something else that bugs me about the wider narrative of migration is that its sold as a solution to an ageing population. The problem with this solution being that the migration numbers are frankly impossible to perform, to quote the United Nations population division 2000 report:

>In contrast to the migration streams needed to offset total or working-age population decline, the levels of migration that would be needed to prevent the countries from ageing are of substantially larger magnitudes. By 2050, these larger migration flows would result in populations where the proportion of post-1995 migrants and their descendants would range between 59 per cent and 99 per cent.* Such high levels of migration have not been observed in the past for any of these countries or regions. Moreover, it seems extremely unlikely that such flows could happen in these countries in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it appears inevitable that the populations of the low-fertility countries will age rapidly in the twenty-first century.

http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/ReplMigED/chap5-Concl.pdf
http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/migration/migration.htm

The result is if you're wondering that we will soon be retiring at 75 but its not very fun to think about so we have this weird worst-of-both-worlds solution where a declining population results in arguments for more migration while the actual challenges we're facing are rarely discussed. Now to return to the Guardian who provides another false solution:

>Europe needs many more babies to avert a population disaster
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/23/baby-crisis-europe-brink-depopulation-disaster

If we went out on a mass shagging spree it really wouldn't solve our immediate problem as babies don't work (maybe we could change this?) and while not as burdensome as the elderly they still require substantial support which will only increase with benefits to encourage people to have children. Migrants aren't cheap either beyond the top percentage of high-skilled workers, they require substantial investments to be made in infrastructure and services while the ones who are now walking over also require support to integrate and are both moved to the wrong areas (because its cheaper to house them in shit areas) and lack the right skills to thrive in a post-industrial economy.

>>24802
>Net migration isn't going to reduce to zero. Not even UKIP are advocating no immigration whatsoever.

I believe if you read between the lines we are looking at a situation where if migration from the EU is cut we will have to look elsewhere i.e. Brexit simply won't matter for immigration and in truth it never did. Yes the Guardian will spin this on their own Bizzaro-Daily Mail political views but really certain industries are hooked on exploiting foreign labour just as the NHS is hooked on pilfering the third world of nurses who will pull the levers in government.

Yes we might soon have more control over our borders but it simply doesn't matter. At best Brexit has meant Dindus and Hindus instead of Poles and Romanians.

Of all my add ons for firefox maybe 20% have survived the last year of updates.

Recently WOT has been disabled for security reasons. I refuse to go back to McAffee's safesearch. Youtube Centre has pretty much died to the point where I no longer watch youtube videos on my desktop. AdBlock Plus has had a bit of a downward spiral and no longer works as well as it should. I'll probably move to chrome once my classic theme add on is no longer supported. The browser itself is pretty damn slow nowadays.

Of my own /101/ it seems to be electronics and appliances that seem to die at times when I'm skint. At the moment my TV has a poorly power board and I cannot afford a new telly at the moment. This comes at a time when I got myself a PS4 at Christmas and it's doing a remarkable job helping me cut down on cigarettes. Looks like the money I'm saving from less smoking will go towards a new telly. Was hoping to put that cash away for something a little more long term.

Haven't used WOT in years. It's a nice idea but I got fed up of the false positives and it didn't really achieve much beyond basic common sense can do (read: don't follow web addresses from random *chan posts and you'll be'rite).

As for ABP, I switched to uBlock Origin after its recent downward spiral. It's much better overall, can be a bit over-eager to block certain web pages but it's easy to disable temporarily or add exceptions.

I think at this stage the main reason I continue to use Firefox is sheer momentum and being used to the add-ons I use regularly. But I've no real reason to switch, I've nothing in particular against Google but I see no reason not to use open-source when it delivers comparable or better function.

WOT is nice to have when you're googling for something and you're on sites that are unfamiliar with. So for example with my telly slowly dying I needed to troubleshoot it which ended up me going to forums where people post all day about repairing tellys. Sites which I wasn't familar with as I have never really looked up how to fix a TV. But honestly it's not a big loss, I'd just like an extra layer of security even if it's a thin one at that. Thought it was a bit funny that a security add on had a remote code execution vulnerability all along even if I have had used it for years

Switching to ublock has been on my to do list for ages. Might do it now so I don't forget until it's brought u again.

The only reason I'm sticking with firefox at this point is because I'm used to it and it's a ballache transitioning to another browser. I can see why my parents still insist on using IE, it's not something that can be done with a simple download. I even have chrome installed, it's just not the browser I use.

I'm assuming it's the top one that has been recently added and you think is redundant? Because of the others one is in Braille, and one provides a visual aid and is also in Welsh, so there's no problem in making the door more accessible.

The impression I get from people with visual impairments is that those Braille signs are usually worse than useless. For example, it looks like this one suffers from the all too common problems of being at the wrong height and being beyond the thing they're describing.

Also, braille signs are effectively invisible to blind people if there's not a tactile indicator on the floor. Blind people don't go around fondling the walls on the off chance of finding some braille.

The sign that doesn't have braille is the only one with a high-contrast border, so it's the only sign that a visually impaired person would have any hope of identifying from a distance.

Sticking braille on things makes sighted people feel better, but it's rarely useful to blind and visually impaired people. I often see braille signs in buildings that have really serious accessibility deficiencies - no tactile marking or tread nosing on staircases, no handrail markers, busy patterns on carpets, low-contrast signage, poor lighting and so on.

There does seem to be this trend recently of noticing that disabled people exist and doing things like putting up Braille, obtaining induction loops and the like. "Hey, look at us, we're so right-on, we've got a lift next to the steps at the front door!" Then you notice that the Braille signs have spelling mistakes and aren't anywhere a VI person is likely to find them anyway, none of the staff realise that the induction loop is a physical thing they have to put on the desk in front of them and turn on, and the only thing the lift gives access to is effectively a raised platform with steps on all sides. Then you go into the toilet where they've tried to be considerate by allowing space on both sides of the bowl, without thinking about where the paper dispenser's going to end up.

I once remember seeing an accessible toilet on a corridor with steps at either end. I'm not sure which was worse, that it looked like a ham-fisted allowance for disability, or that it was actually a ham-fisted allowance for a trans person.

If only organisations could divert some of the effort they put into signalling how much they care about accessibility into actual accessibility.

I've been on 60mg of dihydrocodiene, x2 4 times a day, for about 2 years. You need to get Lactulose from the pharmacy, take 20 ml morning and night and you'll be fine.

People are going crazy about the fact that three cyclists have died in London in a week. Apparently things must be awful because three in a week, innit. Poisson processes are seemingly beyond their grasp. According to Beyond The Kerb there were ten fatalities in London in 2016, of which seven involved motor vehicles (two heart attacks and one fall), though one more hit a tree on the bit of RideLondon in Surrey. The number is small enough to be highly variable, but the general trend is undoubtedly downward when you account for the increased numbers of cyclists. But no, apparently this week proves it's carnage out there.

I've been playing with the Hemingway Editor to try and clear up my awful academic writing. Its an application that tells you when your writing is hard to read or otherwise a bit passive. Well, at least according to Hemingway's rules.

Lads, I despise it already. This is a digitized version of my research supervisor "oh this is a bit complicated!" It spews out as I write on a dastardly complicated subject. "How will the cretins understand this big word?" It grumbles despite the fact that nobody will ever read my research beyond the abstract.

Its going to take an age to fix everything (if I'm even able to). Plus it makes my work look a bit shit if you ask me.

I actually got it from an article on the Gov.uk website on how they ensure clarity when writing. I thought it would be a good idea to try some of their techniques given clarity is an issue for me.

Don't worry I'm not treating it as gospel, I'm merely using it for suggestions to keep me in check. The only hard rule Gov.uk has if you're interested is a 25 word limit on sentences. Anything over this causes people to skim read and get confused (my absolute cap was 40 for reference).

The problem is your use of "its". In that context, it's a contraction of "it is". The word should have an apostrophe to mark the missing letter. "Its" is the possessive form, denoting a thing belonging to it.

It's in the public sector. What is not unusual is that there's a limit and that for an overnight stay it's a whopping £20. What is unusual is that there's no hotel exception. Normally when there's a limit there's a rule that says you can claim your full actual costs for dinner at a hotel where you are staying overnight, possibly with a rider that it wasn't reasonable for you to dine elsewhere.

I'm very tempted to just submit a claim for actual costs regardless and drop some subtle hints about my desire to continue working for an employer who will argue over a fiver on a dinner tab. Of course, I'm thankful that the accommodation is being arranged centrally rather than having to expense it subject to the piss-taking limit of £55/night, again with no exception for trying to find accommodation when half the hotels in town are fully booked.

My brother is getting an inheritance from his fathers death and he asked me to help him in avoiding the tax and matters of that nature. I was happy to help but now he intends to give me a share and it's awkward. I don't want to charge family especially when I did fuck all and its not money I would want. I've joked about him buying me a chocolate bar but I don't know if he has gotten the message.

Helping him has also been a problem because word has spread like I've donated to charity so now family are appearing. By family I mean of course people I don't know coming out (through my mother) with sob stories because they want to avoid tax and losing bennies. They'll get nothing from me of course.

If its anything like giving to charity that one time I've got this for the rest of my life now. I simply gave £20 to some girls charity run anonymously and somehow she found out it was me and wrote a thanks on my facebook wall. Cue requests to donate to skydives and other nonsense before I could delete it but the damage was done. Now people know think I'm charitable which is leads to all sorts of bollocks I have to duck. It's not like I'm a bastard I just find public altruism distasteful.

Would post this in the workplace annoyances but it's not directly related to work. I've recently got a new job and it's the first one that has a commute longer than a walk or 10 minute bus ride.

I dread the commute even though it's not particularly long. I work in a city with two premiership football teams and when they play the double capacity trams are sent to accommodate 50,000 fans which makes my claustrophobia flare up. They're loud, touchy feely, standoffish and drunk at 5:40pm.

The old people who decide to travel at rush out get on my tits too. They're not going to work. They just want to pretend they're on the Orient express and they always get the nice seats. I hate the school kids too but I can't blame them because they're going school. Although it takes the piss when they're only going one stop which they could have walked. Somehow these bastards get seats.

Then there's the people who stand up next to empty seats blocking anyone who wants to sit down. Utter cunts. Then there's the people who get arsy when you sit in the priority seats. They forget that priority doesn't mean exclusive so they expect only spackers, the elderly and knocked up mums to sit in those seats. Gotta love that one bloke who's still relatively young with a bit of grey in his hair stare you down for sitting in a seat.

I'd move closer to work but I'd want to see how the probationary period goes. In 6 months time I'll basically live next door to work.

This fucks me off to no end, especially on a rammed bus/tram - none of the blokes want to sit down because they're "too nice", or some other poofter thinking.

My favourite tram moment had to have been when a young couple (early 20s) got on in a rush, and the lad forgot to buy his tram ticket. So at every stop he jumped out and sprinted to the machine hoping to get one. His missus would hold the door open so he could get back on if he wasn't quick enough to get a ticket., but this rightly fucked off the tram driver who after the 3rd instance got on the intercom and said in a booming voice "stop blocking the bloody door!". She jumped back, doors closed, and the poor little cunt got left behind, much to the amusement of every fucking person that had to endure this teenlad shit show.

I know World Book Day was a toss-off for some people and they were happy for their kids to go to school as a Power Ranger or someone from Star Wars or whatever, but some parents put a ridiculous amount of effort into costumes for the kids.

Then my son was at Cubs this evening. It's been good turn week and you're meant to sponsor your child for doing good deeds and housework, with prizes for the kids who raised the most money.

Has the organisation moved on much in the last 20 years since I was a lad? In retrospect it seems like something out of the 1920s making pledges of alliance to god, king and country, leaders named after Kipling characters, making telephones out of bake bean cans and bits of string, using canvas patrol tents, playing Pooh sticks, and singing camp fire songs that would almost certainly be considered too culturally insensitive now.

To do my duty to God and to the Queen

And to keep the Cub Scout Law.

Caburies (y's?) was bought out by an American food company called Kraft some years ago. Since then we've had all these new fangled fad flavours and such.
I can't really tell what it is but something about the whole thing seems distasteful. I guess the company are just trying to widen their net of potential customers, but it seems to be making some synthetic primordial soup of flavours. Everything tastes of everything. In a way its similar to the idea of food in pill form, just the other way around.

The bus outside my flat runs on a balloon loop, and the terminus is halfway round, so if it has a long turnaround I'll have to wait a bit before it does the next couple of stops. Tonight, the bus home was around 10 minutes late. It has a 5 minute turnaround, so it arrived 5 minutes after it was due to depart. Normally that means the bus just carries on without waiting, but tonight the driver thought that would be an opportune moment to pull over for a fag break.

Speaking of alarm clocks, I played an amazing practical joke on a flat mate many years ago when we were students. His room had one of those upside down lamp shades and I hid his alarm clock in there and set it for 5am. It took him 6 months to find it and many lulz ensued from this as it drove him crazy. It was one of those little alarm clocks that just beeps incessantly until the minute hand has moved on far enough for the alarm to stop.

The cat seems inquisitive (although not insistent) about the outside and it really worries me because he's been an indoor cat his whole life; if he gets out, he has no idea how to survive out there. This isn't the countryside, there are cars and roving teenagers. His paws are still pink, he's only little.

I interview people. We honestly don't say stuff like that to candidates just to be nice, it really is a case of someone else simply having a bit more experience. You'll get something, keep at it.

More practical advice might be to pad your CV a bit more, or work out how to make yourself sound that much more experienced in your interviews. You'd be surprised how little people actually bother to learn about the company they're applying at sometimes. If you talk like you already work there you'll be picked out.

Friend of mine has left her husband, moved out etc, but he's somehow convinced her to still pay her half of the mortgage, bills, etc, and he's taking all the money in the joint account.

I don't know the full story so maybe he's somehow justified in all this, but from my perspective my good friend is getting royally fucked over and it's making me angry. Obviously there's nothing I can do apart from encourage her to talk to a solicitor, but that could see her even worse off financially.

TL;DR I'm very angry on someone else's behalf which is rather frustrating

Send her down to Citizens Advice.

Like you said I don't know the full story but the mortgage isn't much a bother. If her names on it of course she still has to pay but then she also shares ownership (ditto with bills). Best not to stick your oar into such things anyway although it might be an idea though to gently suggest she cancel the mandate on the joint account immediately. This will save allot of hassle if he goes off the rails and ends up accruing joint-debt.

I know that. It's hardly my business but it does set off some alarm bells. From what I gather neither party has been particularly faithful, so I'm not sure why she would accept such a bad deal. Suppose if you want rid of someone though it might be worth the cost.

I don't intend to do anything other than be a shoulder to whinge on, that's why I'm posting here to get it out of my system. Logically I'm quite aware that its none of my business and quite possibly all her fault, but my instinct is to break some legs, either literally or metaphorically. I won't though, obviousl

The automated call systems you have to deal with when you telephone a big company. I know its a cliché but it has been over 20 years now and it doesn't seem to have improved.

Today I had to call the bank and not only did I have to answer security questions multiple times but then once I got through it asked me the purpose of my call.

This exact situation happened a few weeks ago - although I was the pedestrian and observed the whole discourse.

One dickhead pulled in front of a uber driver, they had their windows facing each other and both wound down their windows to swear and spit at each other. It was utterly pathetic and bizarre. Numerous threats of killing each others families, slitting their throat, etc... were made. Other drivers around them were getting irate at the needless hold-up, so they stopped this and parted ways. I felt embarrassed for them.

both of them were bongos if that makes a difference

The Guardian's Brexit coverage is starting to get on my tits again. In this week alone we've had:-

• The rise in student loan interest rates. This is everything to do with Brexit and hardly anything to do with the unfair system of interest charged at RPI + 3% which means that, for most people they'll only start paying it off when they're earning over £40-£50k from the outset and have to be in continuous employment, so no maternity leave, which means that the interest rate could be 2000% and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference as they'll still repay the same amount regardless and it'll still be written off after so many years.

• Overseas expat pensioners are facing poverty. This is everything to do with the effect of Brexit and exchange rates and hardly anything to do with the fact that State Pensions have been frozen for some countries by numerous governments.

It's reminding me of before the Referendum when people said the EU was being used as a scapegoat for UK government incompetence, except the same people claiming this are now blaming Brexit for UK government incompetence.

Naturally, the comments BTL are full of rabid nutters who want to treat it like a football match and only care if their side wins so they should 'BREXSHIT! BREXSHIT!' to their heart's content, in between saying Leave voters hate the old, the young, foreigners, are ignorant, etc. It seriously is the Two Minutes Hate.

Well, no. That actually is a Brexit thing. The general principle now in effect is that overseas pensioners don't get their state pension uprated unless they're in a British overseas territory or the host nation is prepared to subsidise it. Pensioners living in the EU get their state pension uprated because they have rights under EU law and treaties to be treated no less favourably than if they were living at home. Countries with weaker economies like Spain and Greece may not inclined to stump up the cash once we've left.

You're wilfully missing the point. The issue is clearly that the pensions are frozen. This was an issue before the Referendum and is still an issue now, although Brexit has exacerbated it over the short term at least.

If Brexit makes a problem worse then the issue is still the problem in the first place. The focus should still be on our government and making sure these issues are dealt with.

/101/'ing institution/company websites that show your contact details and what you do.

I've discovered that my academic details have been published on a university website where I do research. The only reason I even found out is because some fucknugget I've never met keeps emailing me 'interesting articles' i.e. the guardian.

By the looks of things my ignorance has allowed me to avoid submitting a short bio and picture for the website but how long will I be able to hold out? It looks to be standard so its only a matter of time until they drag me kicking and screaming into unexpected conversations. Yes I'm aware networking is important but I do that the proper way.

Just picture it, you're in line for coffee trying to remember your order when a stranger starts talking and asking for your opinion on complicated things. As this is going on you are fast approaching the till but juggling between doing a transaction right and making professional conversation with all its weird nuances. Your body goes into fight or flight mode so you involuntarily clench your fists causing your hands to become even more sweaty from perspiration as your mind rushes in a panic.

I'm far too much of a shy and anxious recluse for this. I mention coffee because many moons ago in my first year of university a girl I had a crush on was behind me in the queue at a coffee shop and I completely bollocksed my order up as a result causing the barista to take a condescending tone with me making the whole thing worse. I left with a medium black coffee and never spoke to her again.

I know this is old, but having spent a lot of time fucking around trying to get the best video/audio quality, I've found that jdownloader is superior to any plugin. It can rip 1080p 60FPS videos (which use a relatively new codec/stream that apparently still baffles the plugins) and muxes the streams correctly so there's no issues with audio being out of sync, which I got with a couple of the plugins.

It's a remarkable program, actually. Great for automating file downloads, it can evade or answer the captchas on many file locker sites so you can just grab the lot and it'll do its thing in the background without you have to look at ads for 30 seconds or whatever. It can also spider a page and add anything it finds to the download queue. Shame it's written in Java, it's a bit clunky and uses more memory than it should, so I kill it when it's not in use.

I lost my keys down the side of the stove. Instead of being sensible and fishing them out with a coat hanger, I decided to prove to myself what a manly man I was and pick up/move the whole thing. Which I did. Without feeling a thing, the bottom of the frame cut into the tip of my left index finger, sharp as a razor.

It's only a couple of millimeters deep, and doesn't even really sting, but it was still annoying.

Bonus story: I sealed the cut shut with a tiny amount of superglue, and it worked like a charm... until I decided to lift weights. My hands got sweaty, I was gripping barbells, and now the glue has come unstuck.

Everything was actually going fine and I was quite impressed with myself for how adult I ended up being throughout the saga. BUT THEN I HAD A SEX DREAM! Oh god it wasn't even a proper sex dream but a full on relationship dream and now I have become part-man part-snake as my mind races through all the possible scenarios of fucking her every time she comes up in my mind.

Be honest, if women constantly bombarded you with naked pictures it might get annoying but you would still be running around like a sex-crazed orangutan. There is a difference between what you rationally want and the part of you that relishes the attention.

People who are shit at watching films. You're supposed to master sitting in silence and paying attention in junior school, but apparently many adults never achieve this milestone.

You're looking at your phone, so you're missing a key plot point, so you'll ask me what you missed, then you'll miss something while you're listening to my explanation of what you missed, so our entire film experience is ruined.

I know the dialogue is quiet and the characters have accents, but maybe you could infer what people are saying from context rather than asking me every two minutes. No, the rest of us do not need a running commentary on your emotional reactions to the film. We don't need to hear your opinions on what the characters should have done or the plausibility of the plot, especially when we're watching a frigging documentary.

No, of course not, it had to be done during dialogue. Then during one of the quietest parts he proceeded to open a can of something which just echoed throughout the room.

I think I'm going to have to stop seeing movies in the cinema, or rent a screen out for myself. Every experience lately has had at least one person rustling bags of crap or chatting amongst themselves while there's quiet dialogue going on. I don't get it, they paid to see it too and if I can't hear it over you then how can you hear it?

I gathered that the average mong that goes to see a film doesn't actually give a fuck about the plot, or the sub-plot, or any minutiae the film might carry because it requires work.

It's quite fun to see someone who clearly walked into the wrong screen literally yawn and fidget, because it just tells you of the above. I get why cape-shit (comic book) movies are popular, because of their ankle-deep plot, and constant barrage of explosions, clever quips, or some shoe-horned product placement. The execs have found their target audience.

I did this a few years ago and never looked back. Cinemas need to die so we can all start enjoying watching new movies from the comfort of our own home instead of sticky carpet rooms full of the general public.

Cinema. The standards for film for around five decades have been 1.85 and 2.39, and these are now the most common ratios for cinema exhibition.

A fair proportion of modern films are shot in 16:9 for the benefit of home viewers, but wider aspect ratios are still common and used to be ubiquitous. Some Blu Ray releases are pan-and-scanned down to 16:9.

There are some 21:9 TVs on the market, designed as a compromise ratio between CinemaScope and 16:9.

Ish. Prior to 1970 the standard was 1.85 or 2.35, post-1970 it was 2.39. The 21:9 display format doesn't exactly match any of the common anamorphic aspect ratios, so you'll always get some amount of letterboxing or pillarboxing.

I'm not even sure why they're bothering. If, as they say, something like 99% of the population engage in licensable activity, why don't they just drop the whole licensing nonsense and just fund it from general taxation instead? If they're scared that a future Tory government is going to defund them, recent governments have been enforcing their spending policy already, having frozen the licence fee since 2010, up until this year where they allowed 1%. If the government has the power to set the licence fee, then effectively it already has the power to set the funding that the BBC receives, in which case both sides might as well just stop pretending and pay out straight from the Treasury.

Here again.

Today it's tractors instead. I saw a couple of dozen go past just while I was out washing my car.
(I think there's a country show on somewhere nearby.)

Another annoyance, what I thought was birdshit on my headlight, is actually where the garage has spilt some oil or brake fluid when they serviced it last week and it's etched a permanent streak into the plastic. It's bad enough to annoy the hell out of me, but on top of the rest of the dents and scratches on the car it's not bad enough that I could keep a straight face if I went back and demanded they replace it.

Not sure it has anything to do with the writing or women actors. Maron steals the show anyway, and Alsion Brie is pretty great. And its written by the Orange is the New Black people and I fucking hated that.

For activating some things they send you a text, and the app reads it automatically, the same way Google does when you set up the phone. If it's like some other banking apps, it lets you dial the bank directly from the app. I'm not suggesting either of these is best practice, but they're plausible uses of those permissions.

I've been asked by a specialist to collect some piss. She told me I needed to do this twice, and gave me two request forms. I didn't have time to pick up the sample bottles on the way out so today I went back to the hospital to pick them up. It's a bit awkward to get to, so I figured I'd save myself a journey and take two, since while I can only reliably pick up from the hospital, I can drop off at my local surgery.

Arrived on the bus, and had 30 minutes before the return leg. Reception directed me towards phlebs, where I wait around 15 minutes before anyone turns up. The phleb finally opens the door, and calls for a number, I politely interrupt and wave my forms at her. "Excuse me, I just need a couple of sample bottles. I've been asked to do two of these." She looks blankly at them, before telling me to sit down while she goes to find a nurse. 5 minutes later she comes back with a nurse, who then immediately disappears to find and prepare the bottles. "Great," I thought. "I'll be out of here in no time." I hear the clacking of plastic bottles and get ready to leave, but then I overhear the nurse saying "Thats odd though how they're both the same with the same date and everything." Remember, this is after I'd already told her colleague that I'd been asked to do two collections. I watch both disappear into an office. I look at my watch, a little over 5 minutes left. That's easy. Right around the corner, straight out the door, and the bus stop is right opposite. But she's not coming out. There's clearly some heated discussion going on behind the door. I'm summoned into office. The nurse in charge starts speaking softly. "Would you mind closing the door, luv?" I oblige. Then there's some awkward questioning. "Is everything okay down there? Do you go a lot? Do you pass a lot of fluid? Is that why she's asked for two of these?" I then have to explain, as I'd already told one of the people now standing in the room, that the reason the doctor has asked for "two of these" is that she wants me to collect two lots of piss in the four months before my next appointment.

With all that fuss over, I get out of the front door in time to watch the bus home fly past. The next one isn't for an hour.

Without bothering to do a search, I'm going to guess that Three are now doing home broadband.

The reality is that unlimited data doesn't cost really the networks anything. The infrastructure costs them more or less the same regardless of how heavily or lightly it's used. Very much like physical goods, the costs of data transfer are "by bulk, not by weight" - what governs the cost is how fat the pipe is, not how much you try and push down it.

Unlimited data was originally pitched as a means to make more money from mobile customers at the expense of fixed-line operators. At a time when minutes and SMS were already as good as unlimited (a 1000/1000 package of the sort becoming available at the time gave you half an hour of talk and 30 text messages every single day), and many home phone packages were capped (mainly due to BT being cunts), the idea that you could leave your home phone behind was an explicit part of the sales pitch. When unbundling came along, the mobile networks figured that instead of getting people to ditch their phone lines for unlimited packages, they could make more money by getting people to take their home phone service, so started introducing limits on their unlimited offerings to protect this new revenue stream. As the only provider of unlimited mobile, Three have decided to price it at a level that offsets the potential missed revenue from selling you a home line.

Wind farms where the turbine blades are slightly out of sync with one another. It's infuriating! This is worse than noticing a ticking clock because you involuntarily start looking for it and have to work out if synchrony is impacted by relative distance.

You would think wind farmers would put them into synchrony without needing to be told. I'm not saying this out of some unnatural human impulse to impose order but the kind of order that emerges and is enriched in our universe from chaos (like jazz, gothic architecture or groups of people walking fall into an order). It is something that manages to offend my every conception of the world.

Mobile networks operate on a finite range of radio frequencies. There's an absolute maximum amount of data you can transmit over those frequencies, determined by the Shannon-Hartley theorem. Once you start hitting that limit, you have to build a larger number of cellular base stations covering a smaller geographic area to reduce congestion to acceptable levels. This is inherently expensive, sometimes it's impossible due to planning constraints and it increases the risk of signal blackspots.

The mobile operators bought the rights to use those radio frequencies in a series of government auctions. In 2000, they paid a total of £22.5bn for the 3G frequencies; they paid another £2.3bn in 2013 for the 4G frequencies.

Recouping the cost of those frequency auctions and the initial infrastructure rollout is a major long-term undertaking. Three have historically underpriced their services and offered very generous data allowances to attract customers, because they're the newest and smallest mobile operator. That strategy worked fairly well, but it wasn't particularly profitable and they're now running into serious capacity problems.

Three have by far the smallest frequency allocation of any network - 12% of the total available mobile spectrum, versus 45% for EE, 35% for Vodafone and 15% for O2. Because of their strategy of offering generous data caps, they have by far the highest per-user data consumption of any network. Better smartphones have driven a huge increase in average data usage - for Three, the increase is about 30% year-on-year. For tediously complicated technical reasons, the particular mix of frequencies allocated to Three makes it more expensive for them to build out capacity than for the other networks.

Three tried to resolve this issue by buying O2, but they were blocked by the Competition Commission. They're currently considering legal action against Ofcom to force a fairer allocation of frequencies.

Until that happens, their only realistic option is to punish the minority of customers with the very highest data consumption, in order to maintain good service for everyone else. It's a pain in the arse if you're one of those customers, but I don't see how they could do anything else.

Three are the only network that still offer unlimited data. Their capped plans are competitive with other networks and their pay-as-you-go offering is the best on the market by a long way. I don't think it's fair to characterise them as cynical or entitled - they've been substantially undercutting everyone else for years, but they're no longer in a position to do so because of a shortage of spectrum and a massive increase in demand.

I don't buy this. Maybe I've just been unlucky with the timing, but whenever I've been looking they were never the cheapest on a like-for-like basis. Sometimes it wasn't even close.

In general, there's a lot of dishonesty in the telecomms business. For a start, per-user usage data is literally meaningless when you can directly and indirectly control the amount of data your customers consume through shaping and capping. At least one network withdrew their unlimited plan, and then pointed to such massaged data to justify their claim that they withdrew it because "there was no demand for unlimited data".

Apparently in the US unlimited data is back in fashion, though the state of fixed-line is very different there so I don't see the same happening here any time soon.

>But it's not really unlimited anymore, is it?

They throttle peer-to-peer and tethering during peak hours, but otherwise it's completely unlimited. You could use a terabyte a month if you so wished. Every other network will cap you at 30 or 40 gigabytes. The original complaint is that they've jacked up the prices of unlimited data packages, which is true.

Their initial rollout in 2003 was 3G-only with fairly patchy coverage, so they used ludicrously cheap rates to bulk out their subscriber base. That problem was fixed in 2007 with the MBNL network-sharing deal, but the reputation for poor coverage persisted, positioning Three as an inferior network. They only really shed that image in the last couple of years, partly due to the speed of their 4G rollout.

Their high-data plans are averagely priced, but their mid-tier deals are still extremely good value for money. They're currently offering unlimited texts and calls with 4gb of data for £9/mo. BT offer the same bundle for £11/mo, Plusnet charge £15/mo, EE charge £13.99 and only give you 3gb of data, Vodafone charge a whopping £18 for just 2gb of data.

>per-user usage data is literally meaningless when you can directly and indirectly control the amount of data your customers consume through shaping and capping

Mobile infrastructure is getting absolutely battered at the moment, with Three bearing the brunt because of their measly frequency allocation. People are hoovering up data like there's no tomorrow and they're tending to do it at peak times and in peak locations. A voice call is only 13kb/s and a text message is effectively a freebie that comes with your network overhead, so mobile operators have had to build out vast amounts of capacity over the past decade as smartphones have completely changed how their networks are used. Mobile operators are a million miles from perfect, but the UK market is exceptionally competitive in global terms.

The US might be inching towards unlimited data, but the prices are absolutely scandalous. T-mobile are the cheapest major operator in the US, charging $70/mo (~£54) for unlimited everything with throttling above 32gb/mo. Verizon charge $80 (~$61) for unlimited everything, with throttling above 22gb/mo. Their mid-tier plans are even worse value, they screw loyal customers six ways to Sunday and their PAYG market is a shitshow. US operators blame a sparse population for their high costs, but that's complete bumwash - it's actually much cheaper to build out high-capacity networks if you've got a low user density, because a single base station can cover a huge area.

>They throttle peer-to-peer and tethering during peak hours, but otherwise it's completely unlimited.
Three killed tethering on their unlimited plan years ago. After a bit of stink-kicking from their customers, they brought in a "personal hotspot allowance" which IIRC is now pegged to their highest capped plan. Sure, there are tricks you can use to get around it, but they don't count for obvious reasons.

>Their high-data plans are averagely priced, but their mid-tier deals are still extremely good value for money.
Again, not my experience. Of course, that could just have been a matter of timing.

>Mobile infrastructure is getting absolutely battered at the moment
I think you're drifting away the point you quoted, which was that comparing networks based on per-user consumption is meaningless. It's like trying to measure how wealthy someone is using only the amount of coinage in their pocket as a proxy.

>The US might be inching towards unlimited data, but the prices are absolutely scandalous.
No, the pricing is in line with expectations. US telco pricing in general is absolutely scandalous.

I know they clung onto analogue mobile (for calls, obviously) well into the 00's.

TBH I was prepared to give them a pass on this particular claim. The US is vast and even if you only need a single base station per square mile that's still an astonishing amount of hardware that needs installing and maintaining. That figure was pulled from my arse - I'd be interested in hearing just how wrong I am.

The limit on the range of a base station is either line-of-sight or user density. Mobile phone signals don't pass through solid materials very well and a base station can only serve a certain number of users at once.

In a sparsely-populated and relatively flat rural area, one tall tower can serve a radius of over 20 miles (315 square miles) without congestion or significant blackspots. These big towers are fairly expensive to build, but the simple maths of the area of a circle provides tremendous economies of scale.

Cities present two problems. Firstly, you have a much higher density of users. To provide acceptable service for a football stadium or a major train station, you might need dozens of picocells each serving a radius of a few tens of metres. One big base station would just get jammed up by the sheer number of users. Secondly, buildings can obstruct signals in complex and unpredictable ways. Tall buildings crammed closely together create "street canyons" that are really difficult to cover. Modelling radio propagation is a bit of a black art and it's rarely possible to put a base station exactly where you want. In a major city, you might need in excess of a thousand base stations per square mile. These smaller base stations are relatively cheap in hardware terms, but they're expensive to install and maintain.

Covering British suburbs and rural areas is made more difficult by the relative strictness of our planning regulations. In the US it's not uncommon to see mobile towers over 100 metres tall, but in the UK the general limit is 15 metres. Doubling the height of your tower approximately doubles the coverage area (assuming clear line of sight), so the 15 metre height limit is an expensive burden for our networks.

>>25526

Mobile phone masts use a cluster of directional sector antennae rather than one big omnidirectional antenna, for a mixture of reasons including safety and efficiency. The summed radiation pattern is omnidirectional-ish, but there are inevitable nulls. Some urban sites use just a single sectional antenna, which can be very useful for filling in blackspots. Tunnels and other tricky locations sometimes use leaky feeder - a length of imperfectly-shielded cable that acts as a weak but very long antenna.

This means that it's possible to shape the radiation pattern to a certain extent, but as >>25525 suggests, terrain obstacles make it impossible to neatly tesselate the coverage. You also need a certain amount of overlap to facilitate handover, otherwise your connection will drop as you move from one cell to another.

The whole thing is an engineering nightmare and it's a miracle that it works at all.

I'm a computer scientist who dabbles in electrical engineering.

If you're interested in wireless communications, I'd highly recommend getting into amateur radio. Huge chunks of the radio spectrum are set aside purely for amateur experimentation. You can gain access to that spectrum by taking a short course at a local club, sitting a simple exam and paying a one-off fee of £27.50. As a licensed amateur radio operator, you can do all manner of fascinating things - build and operate your own transmitters, send digital signals halfway across the world with the power from an AA battery, bounce signals off surface of the moon and make contact with amateur-built satellites. Radio amateurs have built a national network of repeaters, effectively an amateur-operated mobile phone network with hundreds of base stations.

http://www.essexham.co.uk/how-to-become-a-ham
https://thersgb.org/services/coursefinder/

If you want to take a joyride through the radio spectrum, there are a number of online shortwave radio receivers available for you to use. The shortwave frequencies are some of the most interesting for amateurs - the upper atmosphere tends to reflect these frequencies, so a relatively weak signal can propagate around the world. You can hear everything from amateur morse code transmissions to North Korean propaganda to the strange and mysterious numbers stations.

http://www.websdr.org/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvr6o7fBcTY

If you're interested in electronics, the definitive book on the subject is The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill. It's not cheap, but it isn't hard to find a PDF copy. It's surprisingly readable as long as you have a basic grasp of algebra. The RSGB course books for the amateur radio exams are an excellent introduction to radio and antenna theory. Dave Jones has a great YouTube channel covering all sorts of electronics-related topics.

https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog/playlists

Be prepared for a fair bit of confusion. Radio is profoundly weird stuff that defies intuitive understanding - it's a bit like light, it's a bit like electricity, but it isn't quite like either. That mysterious nature also makes radio endlessly fascinating.

I don't want to get into it, but bacon should be verboten and those tasteless strips of ham are an affront to pigkind.

Bacon on pizzas is one of those things that can work well, or be completely terrible.

The way modern is treated as synonymous with contemporary because everyone living in the renaissance was a deluded wanker. I got into a pedantic argument about this recently so I was wondering what you're opinion would be if you heard the two terms.

For me modern is a broader spectrum that I generally place from about 1919 to 2001 (unless the subject is history). Anything after 2001 I find is sufficiently similar to the present that you use the term contemporary. I'm supposedly wrong though.

>I used to use it as sort of a notice board for stuff I enjoyed and wanted to keep tabs on

This is what I mostly use facebook for these days, it works perfectly as a news aggregate when you have it set up right and even has controls in place for excessive feed spamming. Twitter by contrast has been designed to provide a continuous flow of information like 24 hour rolling news coverage that ends up rarely delivering the quality content you need.

It figures that the only people really interested in twitter are teenagers, bottom-feeder reporters and various other simple people. Like >>25548 has found 99% of the tweets are just irrelevant noise unless you care about selfies and tedious life events. In addition for imageboard users it seems inherently dangerous should you ever forget where you're posting.

Did he? The CCTV shows him being walked out of the shop, apparently calm, then him and the officer go off-screen for a moment, and then the officer throws him to the floor and puts him in some kind of hold.

Maybe he was resisting and they were trying to restrain him. Or maybe he had started choking and the officer was trying to save him. Or maybe it became apparent he was trying to swallow the evidence and the officer was trying to obtain it. Who knows what really happened, but if it was a restraint attempt it is very questionable whether that level of force was justified.

Alright, so the thing in his mouth wasn't illegal. It just raises more questions than it answers. If it was just Lemsip, why did he put it in his mouth while he was being pursued by the police? And why did the police stop his car in the first place?

There is no law against you turning up to a child's birthday and blowing out all the candles before they can, and making overt advances on their mother, it would still be antisocial behaviour though. Even if you 'only did it for a laf'.

Er, I don't really know where you're going with this line of argument. >>25612 is wrong because it doesn't matter what he thinks of the law, there is no need to go into a hypothetical rife with actual laws potentially being broken (trespass etc.) unless you want to play Bakunin.

>>25618
I think you are incorrect here. Harassment has been specifically written to avoid defining an offence if you act like a dickhead in one instance i.e. you have one too many bevvies at a child's birthday party. Our anti-social fellow would need to leave the party and at a later time harass again:

Offence = victim harassed x2

The later amendment by SOCPA removes the requirement that they be the same victim which was done to recognise that harassment can be directed at a group identity.

Offence = victim harassed + victim harassed

Our law might be a circus but it still has some grasp as to the reality of everyday life.

If you need to use a justification like 'oh well they are a cunt anyway so it is okay' it probably is bad behavior.

'Problematic' I fucking hate the term it is a buzz word statement that doesn't mean anything. Because ANYTHING and EVERYTHING can be problematic, because nothing is perfect.

Literally think of anything, anything at all and it can be problematic because it doesn't cater equally to every single preference and position.

It doesn't help that it is frequently used by people making stupid vapid political statements about things expecting the burden of responsibility to shift to them to solve. Oh you think Pokémon go is problematic and ableist because disabled people can't walk, fuck you, that isn't their fault, it's called a disability for a reason, it prevents you from doing things. If you have a problem take it up with your god, because there isn't a software patch to fix that.

No one can enjoy, or create anything anymore without it being implied they should feeling guilty that it is 'problematic' because every single action is exclusionary in some way, it is the lowest hanging fruit of criticism, and yet their seems to be an entire field of media, and subculture jerking off over the term. It is a philosophically bankrupt criteria to judge things and I hate it.

Excuse me but this word is both hundreds of years old and perfectly legitimate for describing a situation that presents a problem for the object.

The problem is just that some idiots found it in a dictionary and spammed it everywhere in a vain attempt to appear educated. It's like how identity politics is a very serious (and interesting!) academic thing but now people usually associate it with disability.

Secondly, I'm going to happy slap the next teenager I see with his headphones in while he's clearly out with his mates, the ignorant bastards. What are you even doing? It's baffling and upsetting and I demand you stop it now.

These are weird old man rants, which worries me because I'm in my early twenties, but both of things really need to be knocked on the head before they get any worse. Are people just going to start sitting in a circle, each person listening to a different podcast, fiddling with their neck pubes? Maybe!

Because being clean shaven is frankly a pain in the arse. That goes double when you have thick curly hair like Lukaku which is prone to causing shaving rash.

Because a crap looking shave is worse than a bit of stubble, and once you can grow enough hair, and keep it trimmed on your face with a proper trimmer, it can look very smart and needs far less maintenance.

When you look at the grander scale of things, being clean shaven has only been common very fleetingly.
Even if you look at recent history since the first cheap plastic razors became available, at least some sort of facial hair has been fashionable as often as not.

Also it's 2017, it's been two years since the rest of us gave up on complaining about hipsters.

Passwords, lads. Fucking passwords.

Well, not passwords per se, but rather, fucking arsehole smart-cunt companies and administrators who insist that you change your password every [arbitrary time period] or that you can never use the same password twice because [security copypasta].

What do you think I am? Do you think I have the memory of the fucking rain man?! No, I'm a fucking stoner who can barely remember his own address you fucking morons. How do you expect me to ever possibly meet these demands? Do you expect me to go through the texting verification method every single time I need to access your shitty service? I mean if I used the fucking thing more than once every blue moon I might remember it, but you are mistaken in the belief that your site's login is more important to me than the other ten fucking billlion username/password combinations I'm supposed to remember.

And I mean for crying out loud it's 2017, I have to log into about four different systems before I've even had my morning coffee. Who the fuck hasn't resorted to some sort of system where you use the same password on everything but change the number on the end occasionally? You could at LEAST have the common decency to make sure your arbitrary fucking time periods sync up! Give me a fighting fucking chance here!

I swear to god it's like technology firms WANT me to put a big fat fucking text file on the desktop called "passwords" so they can easily access all my... OHHHHH

Quite possibly, but that's not what the guy I was speaking to said.
They've put their prices up, and there's a 5-day window to leave without penalty, so I suspect they're busy / have all fucked off home / have 'technical problems' to avoid people (including me) leaving.
I've given up, but have a log of my failed calls over the last 3 months. I shall cancel the direct debit, write to them via registered post, and complain officially if they don't cancel cleanly. Completely out of patience with them.

I'm pretty sure they are still working in India.

I've had a really bad experience with Talktalk. My mother is getting up there in age, and these cunts would not sort out her telephone line, and broadband problems. What pissed me off was when scammers started ringing her about her issues. To her, they seemed credible since they knew about the issues, her name, services, etc. Talktalk has a really bad issue with scammers. The people who work in the call centre pass off details to the cunts, or the the call-centre workers themselves moonlight as scammers. Whatever the case, it was horrible. Tried to leave them, and they tried to slap me with a cheeky termination fee and some fee about an engineer visiting, who never actually came around. I contacted the Ombudsman and I won. They had to pay out to me and let me go with no termination fee. My mother seemed attached to them since she was with them since they bought Tiscali.

Absolute cunts. These termination fees are absolutely unfair on people who get a poor service and can't leave. It's an uphill battle.

The termination fee is for voluntarily leaving mid-contract. If they're not really providing the service you're paying for, then you just walk away and make it clear that you don't have an obligation to buy them out of a contract they're not upholding to your satisfaction.

I'm on TalkTalk and have been getting really poor speeds the past few months of around 1 Mbps. After the usual irrelevant tests the call-centre bloke told me it was probably my router and they would send me a new one. After hooking it up it's been connecting at speeds of (drumroll) 1.5 Mbps. Thing is, the call-centre bloke told when I asked that I was contractually obliged to at least 3 Mbps. So now that I know this I'm going to be calling them up until they sort it.

As for scammers yeah, they've been calling me all year too. Absolute scum, I bet they reel in loads of frightened old pensioners. Do you think the call-centre workers are complicit, or just innocents reading from a script? If you take their bait (as I sometimes do to waste their time) they escalate the call to a better-spoken bloke who is definitely a crim and tries to get you to install the remote desktop software.

No amount of contractual cuntery gets them out of the requirement to provide something that resembles the service you're buying from them. Any language that tries to do so almost certainly falls foul of some consumer protection legislation.

Check the date listed on whatever they've sent you. Maybe it's just because I'm on a special deal, but at the end of the email I received it gives an explicit cut-off date of 30th September. If they don't give a date but say "x days from this letter" or something like that, it's the date you receive it that counts, and that's day 0 unless the period is specifically described as "beginning with" (not the same as "within" or "from").

I'm a chef of many years and I sort of agree, but you also see this rediculous macho shit where it's expected for someone to super glue a 6" gash through their hand shut and carry on working.

Obviously it depends on the burn, but really if you get fryer oil on you, it's a almost certainly a third degree burn. It's a bit silly that my industry demands workers ignore that.

Yes, you should expect cuts and burns working in an environment with sharp and hot objects. But the culture surrounding it, I believe is quite dangerous. I worked for nearly a week with appendicitis because it was what I felt was expected of me. I've heard plenty of worse examples.

I'm just thinking of McDonalds specifically here, the kitchen is probably less dangerous than a kitchen where actual food preparation and cooking takes place (we have no knives, for example). Still plenty of things to hurt yourself on and the instance I'm complaining about it was a lad moaning about burns on the back of his hands from grease dripping off the top of a clam grill. Needs to wipe it down more often and that'd be mitigated.

Nah, we get (mostly) whole tomatoes but they're pre-sliced.

There are very few things we prepare manually, poached eggs being one but they're just done in a big steamer. Salads have to be put together too (the pre-prepped salad mix doesn't have the tomatoes and cucumber slices in it) and that's about it.

A survey of more than 1,000 people working in UK publishing has found that more than 90% currently in the industry classify themselves as white British.

Carried out between June and July, the bookcareers.com salary survey received 1,023 valid responses. The vast majority of respondents – 84.6% - were female, and more than nine in 10 (90.4%) were white British. Four years ago, when research was last conducted, 81.8% of respondents were female, and 93.7% were white British.

“I think publishers have been very proactive in trying to encourage diversity … in their companies,” said bookcareers.com’s Suzanne Collier, pointing to Penguin Random House and Hachette as leaders in this field. “But it is going to take a long time for this to take hold, and until that figure is reduced to about 60/40 we have not got true diversity.”

West African pidgin is the most widely-used pidgin by a huge margin and is known locally as simply "pidgin". The vast majority of other pidgin languages have fewer than 100,000 speakers and most have distinctive names. It's somewhat ambiguous, but it's not really an issue in practice.

Not >>25778, but it's not really correct to say that 4chan always had the degree of far-right, white supremacist toxicity that runs through it today. In 2004 when I first found it (during my regrettable anime phase) it still had a strong Japanophile streak, and many/most of the threads were anime/manga/Japanese videogame-related, or at least would contain references to that kind of content in the form of image macros. White nationalism and far-right politics were certainly not regular topics. Even as the site developed and became less Japan-centric, /b/'s raids included a notorious white supremacist (Hal Turner, if you want to look it up).

The overarching philosophy of the time was that, irrespective of who you were and what you believed, taking yourself too seriously was a crime punishable by trolling, which sort of went out the window with Project Chanology and was absolutely absent with the rise of more serious racist discussion, eventually culminating in mass support for Trump and the alt-right movement. /pol/ had certainly always had racists, neo-Nazis etc, but they didn't own the place.

That's my memory of it, albeit anecdotal and no doubt skewed to my perspective.

I'm sure it has been brought up before but Banksy work is a load of derivative shite that I want the press to start ignoring.

It's not like he even innovates, it's just the same tedious A-level work he was doing in the 00s. Wowzer! Community decay, sinister technology and the police state - what will he think of next? Perhaps he could smear his shit on the wall in the shape of a CCTV camera outside a playground and we can all go have a think about technology.

>>25778
I agree with the other lads about /pol/ but 4chan has always had an undercurrent of toxic negativity in my experience. It depends on what you mean but it's one thing that separates imageboard culture from other places.

The problem is of course that /pol/ has leaked absolutely everywhere and I suspect a big part of that has been shitposting for a reaction now that teenagers are posting from smartphones.

I've been using one of the hobby boards on and off up until even now but while the /pol/ stuff has been a visible presence, it feels like three or four months ago it reached new heights where it has mostly stayed.

Just dawned on me that I don't really include .gs when I lament that imageboards as a whole have become tedious wank that I only use (and even then, generally just as an ersatz blog to organise my thoughts) because I'm too much of a social retard to have my past posts following me. The worst part of /pol/ isn't even the racism, or the repetitiveness. It's how painfully obvious it is when you're talking to a child. I mean, 4chan has always been full of children, but you get into an argument and you suddenly realize that it's pointless. It's not like before, there's no fun in it. These are different children, children with a different outlook and mindset. That's not to mention 8ch, which is a poorly managed shitshow with a few novel boards and a tendency to recall Gamergate as though it was a serious, culture-defining moment. I've got a /pol/itical idea: Bring on the zero child policy.

Regular forums seem to have died a death, so there's no real alternatives anyway. Reddit is a formatting nightmare, acrobat likewise, Twitter is sort of kind of vaguely briefly tempting but too obvious in being a timesink.

Different times and different situations call for different teas. Personally I'm quite partial to a spot of redbush in the evenings which is caffeine free and leaves a lovely malty taste.

Not immediately before bed of course, I'm not fond of getting up out of bed just as I'm drifting off to sleep to take a piss.

One of my friends has finally gone completely mental.

She's into all sorts of conspiracy theories, in particular anti-vaccination ones and that every terror threat is a false flag attack by the authorities; she went into overdrive following the Manchester Arena bombing. Dreadlocks, rainbow clothing, workshy and always complaining she doesn't get enough benefits.

Anyway, she's decided to home-school her children because she's convinced that mainstream education would corrupt them and stop them from being free spirits.

I found my old GCSE Spanish book, and I read some of my old work. That was yesterday. Today - I was in south London for work, and everywhere I went, I could hear Spanish. So, is it just me, or are there too many fucking Hispanics in fucking south London?

Fucking hell, what a disgusting language. I kept hearing it everywhere. I became hyper-aware. I could make out a few words here and there, but it all just pissed me off. It was much better when I never took notice of anything like that. Fuck's sake.

Your statement is such vapid misinformative conjecture feigning wisdom authority and accuracy I despair.

You've made the statement 'schooling is not' meaning not legal, not that schooling at home doesn't exist.

I've had many friends fall into this problem and so far I've never seen anyone totally escape its clutches. The cause seems to be a disappointment of youthful expectations which probably explains why you get so many 40-something women reading bible prophesy. I agree that the whole thing is rather infuriating, especially when they adopt an air of arrogance about being so open-minded after taking what some random nutter on youtube says at face value.

However, you can moderate them somewhat by asking questions and getting them to expand on their ideas, essentially just covertly behave like a child endlessly asking 'why'. People eventually realise that they don't actually know anything (or will at least run out of things to say) once you ask them who is behind all of this. Most recognise that extra-dimensional lizard people aren't bad - just misunderstood - and they're all too lazy to read up on the concepts underpinning these theories anyway. It breaks down any kind of zealot.

Although mainstream education obviously does have an element of social conditioning to shape the next generation of workers. It's just not very sinister once you realise the bells break children into set-time based routines like in an old factory.

Where I think I went wrong was in having a quick passionless one before bed to help me sleep when I really wasn't in the mood. It ended up with me getting under the covers feeling all dirty and flustered which couldn't have helped things.
