I'm originally from Steam, I was never a native of imageboards to begin with.

Sincerely, OP the 14 year Steam user

The tips of my front teeth have gone a bit translucent. Tha can't be good.

>>66327
I noticed that the other day. Just normal enamel erosion I guess. Nothing we can do about it unless we want to give up all acidic food and drink.

>>66241
Go to the dental hospital, tell them you don't have a dentist. They'll fix all your teeth for free.

Are you the same lad that insisted on posting the gory detail of your self-mutilation? I hope your nob is okay, and please take better care of yourself.

>- The ones that try to pack everything at the till and do so extremely slowly. holding everyone else up like the selfish cunts they are.

This irritates me whenever it happens, it's worse that the checkout instructions are on a massive fucking banner behind them and the checkout is designed so that you do not have room to pack properly yet you have these literal brainlets are so ignorant that they completely ignore it and take 3-4 minutes.

You can see the checkout person calling them a cunt with their eyes staring at them, unable to say anything. The one time I told one of these mouth breathers trying to pack a literal full trolleys worth of shopping into bags that the instructions were behind them they looked up at it and then kept doing what they were doing. Ignorant, selfish cunts.

>>437228
I'm middle class and I prefer KFC over Nando's.

Nandos getting a lot of hate consistently, why?

It's no fine dining but if you want something where you know you don't need to book, know you can turn up casually, quickly run off when you're done because you've already paid and want some relatively tasty chicken with a selection of easy going sides I don't see the problem to the extent everybody else does.

Yes there are lots of teenagers in there eating on first dates but it probably suits their budget and level fo relaxation.

We've got an entire thread dedicated to it. We don't need to retread old ground.

The Telegraph is behind a paywall so I can't read it to see whether some 'expert' has actually said they're intimidating.

Don't worry, just pretend I said whatever you feel like responding to.

>>27130
Okay? Whatever floats your boat.

Don't you dare compare rats to vermin like estate agents lad. That's just below the belt.

>>30590

I apologise to you and to the rest of the rat community.

The one I'm dealing with right now literally does not read my emails.

"Hi, I've sent the deposit, please confirm you have this. I also have filled in the form you wanted, please find it attached as well as the utility bill you requested."

Is it legal for my letting agent to release my phone number and email address to third party maintenance companies?

>>30721
Depends - a specific third-party maintenance company who is involved in the maintenance of the building you're in - yes it is. Under GDPR this would qualify as "performance of a contract".

To a bunch of non-specific third-parties who then sell/market to you, no it is not.

>>27099
I'm not sure we need even more laws to make police a special protected class.

>>27101
If you ask me he took one for the team to misdirect black lives matter public opinion into feel sympathy for his fellow filth.

I mean he obviously didn't but the Police PR teams must be as happy as, well, pigs in shit, with this turn of events.

>>27099
I think there should be a law against calling proposed legislation SoAndSo's Law. I always feel for the families that propose this kind of thing, I get it they feel helpless and want to do something but it's a futile displacement activity.

>>27103
>it's a futile displacement activity.

I don't know, the current government seem like the sort who will legislate based on knee-jerk reactions to recent events if they think it'll be good PR for them.

I can kind of see why she's doing it. There's been a lot of suggestions that the only reason the killers didn't go down for murder is because gypos influenced the jury.

>>27099
I wonder how such a law would have played out during the recent riots in America, or even the protests in Belarus?

It would be surely better to crackdown on the negative influences involved in the case rather than whitewash all after it.

>>90422
"material uncertainties that cast significant doubt upon the group's ability to continue as a going concern" is the standard wording required in an audit report for when outside circumstances might bring you down. Any company that doesn't get that assessment in their report this year has insulated itself well.

>>90423
How are they easily doing the best of the challenger banks?

>>90423
Exactly - I work for a different bank (not a challenger) - we'll all have that on our financial reports this year.

Monzo are doing the best because of the rate they've grown and the quality of their customer experience - just about every other bank (who aren't a challenger) wishes to buy them - so I would take any talking them down with a pinch of salt. Revolut are bigger, but they've had issues with AML and so would be far more wary of them as a customer.

We'll see - I've used it as my lunch/travel/contactless bank account for a long time now. I'm not about to start paying my salary in there (but know plenty who do), but I think they'll get there and would recommend them to anyone.

>>90425
Yeah, given they seem to have a significantly above-average rate of account lockouts which they refuse to explain (therefore denying the customer the ability to resolve), I wouldn't trust it as a primary account any more than I'd trust PayPal as a primary payment provider.

I can understand why more accounts get locked - they're on the hook for fraud, and by necessity there's a sensitivity/specificity trade-off in fraud detection, so if you're in a financially weaker position the PR hit of false positives is a better bet than having to cough up on false negatives.

>>90426
Banks don't get shut down for losing money - they do get shut down for being slack with AML controls.

>>23990
There are more expensive editions which contain more planes and more unique airports. I think the edition with the most stuff is about £110.

>>23989>>23991
I've seen this "it's a sim so we can charge you 'sell a kidney' prices" lots and I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's just a cash grab, they won't sell as many copies as CoD or the MCC so they have to charge more to break even or are there actually additional costs involved with making sims that justify higher prices for the customer? It seems to me that it's often just a case of a captured audience who can't "vote with their feet" because some sims have de facto or near monopolies on their genre.

>>23992
The standard edition of Flight Sim is among the 100+ games you can play for a month for £1 and £4/month thereafter.

>>23992

They're a for-profit company, they're just charging as much as they think they can get away with.

I've got no problem with DLC in principle, but I hate day zero DLC and "premium editions". Salami-slicing a game on release day just feels grubby and exploitative, especially when you're parcelling off some of the most desirable content.

I enjoyed watching this one.

>>12478
Christ why does this keep coming up. It fucking destroyed me.

>>12478

Would you settle for a 52 minute psychotic episode?

>>12481

Throw in a couple of panic attacks and we have a deal.

'Everything Connected' has been on my music list for ages, thanks for reminding me.

>Surely he's the perfect mix of "safe ravers" and mindful introspection for you lot?
What is it exactly is it about his music that it can be defined so?

That sounds like someone having a nervous breakdown, whilst trying out every setting on their new synthesizer. Remarkable.

The A.D. Police and Bubblegum Crisis stuff has a similar vibe maybe.

>>23196
>if anyone has other sci-fi-ish recommendations I'll take them.

The only Space one I can think of right now is "Tytania", but it's actually really disappointing, considering it's by the Legend of Galactic Heroes author.

On the other hand, "Real Drive / RD Sennou Chousashitsu" (by the same writer as Ghost in the Shell) takes a laid-back approach to Sci-Fi. It's set on an artificial island somewhere in the South Pacific, using a fully connected AR-based society which makes use of saltwater as a data storage medium. Some residents of the island have found ways to hack into this "Meta-Real" system for the purposes of pleasure-seeking and crime, and so an investigation team uses a "diver" to catch them like something out of The Lawnmower Man.
Many of the stories are self-contained but slot into an overarching narrative of social quandaries and plutocratic backstabbing. There's a lot of stuff there that would appeal to someone who is into the kind of stories that fetaured in 2000AD, for example.

>>23185
Vinland Saga was my most recent watch, that's definitely a fantastic bit of Medieval brit larp.

Made in Abyss has a nice episodic story telling style. It's a bit like Kino's Journey in that there's "mild peril" in it, but it has that feeling of exploration that seems to only scratch the surface of the world it lives in.

I should say that another anime that I'm watching right now is Re:Zero. It does have cliché elements being an anime about a NEET transported into a fantasy world but there's an interesting idea around how fucked up it would be to live with a particular superpower.

Spoiler for what that is ruins episode 1 but I assume you will have watched it already if the above were enough: When he dies he returns to a save point. Every 3-4 episodes is him facing off against some challenge and mostly having to watch all his friends die over and over until he gets it right.

>>23186
>ACCA:13-ku Kansatsu-ka (not the Insurance company) - A bright and colourful web of political intrigue in !NOTAmerica. Everyone is fucking beautiful for some reason.

I really enjoyed this. I'd say its really more a political thriller in !NOTJapan if it never formed a unitary state because you have elements that fit strongly with the past and present of Japanese monarchy and an underlying allegory to the Japanese succession debate.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it seems awfully convenient that this thread was made a few months before Covid-19 escaped from a laboratory in China. Covid-19 may well be their early attempt at making airborne weapons-grade autism.

All I'm saying is Chinkspooks may be reading our posts and getting ideas. Be vigilant.

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>438694
Seriously hoping they steal our ideas for a tap that produces custard then. We should probably have patented that one.

>>438696
The person who posted about a soup tap on rudgwicksteamshow.co.uk a week or so before that thread would have a strong counter-claim to the idea.

>>438697>>438696
Who are we kidding, like the Chinese care about patents.

>>438698
I wonder if we'll be able to buy autism fart bombs on AliExpress.

>>24146
A bit of pushing, grabbing and shoving seems to be not so much bellendery as an integral part of the game.

I also don't think it counts as bellendery if it isn't completely ruining the fun.

>>24147
Yeah, that's fair enough. People do inevitably get salty about it though, you know the types.

>>24147
>I also don't think it counts as bellendery if it isn't completely ruining the fun.

There is a lot to be said for a game where everyone gets to be a bellend.

It's a beautiful British game by brilliant British boffins.

I think The Pub Landlord was years ahead of its time.

This is a bit ridiculous isn't it? Penalising people with degrees.

Is it worth just lying on my CV and saying I don't have a degree? Anyway they can find out? What would be the best way to do it?

>>13507

Is it an apprenticeship or vocational scheme? In which case they only get funding for providing education to people who don't already have it.

>>13507

Would you turn up at a food bank and lie when your cupboards at home were full?

>>13507
I don't think it is ridiculous when their stated mission is to help people without degrees - why should you jump the queue when you've already had that opportunity?

According to a tweet I read it automatically tweets whatever two or more people perform a FOI request for or something.

>>66310
The document they tweeted isn't Protocols but an analysis of Protocols, which includes the text itself. The analysis states repeatedly that it's a forgery.

Meanwhile, in Washington DC...

I've always felt the Jew thing held about as much weight as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society rhetoric, both are the nonsense of the resentful outsider.

Israel on the other hand is a horrible spiteful nation that should be driven into the sea for the sake of the rest of humanity.

okay, I loled.

That's fine it's easier to just pirate it.

That sketch is forever seared into my mind.

Catch is these sub-networks always have shit coverage, as if they don't utilise the full network or something. I've no idea but there must be a cost saving somewhere. I'm with O2, my missus is on plusnet, who supposedly us O2. She always has poor signal or limited Internet, where I'm having no trouble.

>>27469
I thought maybe that, but the Vodafone logo is displayed on the VOXI website, though granted only at the footer. Then again, I remember when they launched, they had a stand in my uni's SU, which as I recall had the "BY VODAFONE" fairly prominently displayed.

Whatever, I'll probably go with them as my vodafone coverage where I am is fairly good, and if it's shit I'm not on contract.

>>27471

Three operate a similar sub-brand called SMARTY. It allows them to compete on price with the likes of GiffGaff without directly competing with themselves. You don't get some of the perks available on the main brand, but the core service is exactly the same.

>>27470

Plusnet uses the EE network, not O2.

>>27468

Finally got round to giving Vodafone a ring to cancel, and they offered me a discount to £12 on the same plan, so not all too different to VOXI.

What they didn't say until I asked before agreeing to the new contract, was that it was for 24 months instead of the 12 I've been on for the past few years. I don't like that at all.

>>27485
Stuff happened, and I didn't get round to trying to switch to VOXI until today.

Trying being the operative word. Their chatbot comes up with an option to chat to an advisor, but when you click the button it simply disappears, and anything you type is automatically answered by the chatbot in an endless loop.

Their Facebook chat will never let you speak to a real person, and they'll only answer the phone on their complaints line if you're already with VOXI.

So, fuck that and fuck them. Guess I'll shop around elsewhere.

it must literally smell like the bathroom smells when you've done a shit and sprayed some air-freshener around

Government whips get an actual, ideally ceremonial, whip on taking the office.

>>90333
I'm sure he did - and its totally normal for that to be lying around on the under pressure ministers otherwise minimalist desk, when he invites a PA photographer into his office.

I know that Boris has many skeletons in the closet - there are plenty of stories/gossip that haven't hit the news yet - but he needs to fire the fucker right now.

Awful.

>>90267
Oh, no, he's above that. I'm told he has a spare terrarium, and when he really wants to freak someone out he puts that on his desk instead of the one with Cronus in.

>>90332

What should be truly disturbing about this is there's no computer on the desk. Not even a laptop.

But of course there isn't, why would he need one? We all know politicians don't do any real work.

>>90336
But if there were a computer on his desk, everyone would be meming about how that's the computer that did the results, innit.

Not relevant to the conversation but hopefully Mike Ashley is sweating at the moment.
A huge Amazon warehouse is opening just down the road from his Shirebrook sweat shop and Amazon are offering a lot more pay.
Talking to some people who work at Ashleys warehouse nearly the entire staff is looking to revamp hopefully forcing him to offer better pay and shock horror an actual contract

>>27043

Revamp = revamp

>>27044

You okay mate?

>>27043
Amazon is a great company to work for, as long as you're not in one of the warehouses. Your friends might get paid more, but they're about to learn the meaning of "work hard".
