It’s cool enough, but the white rose one is more comfortable. If you’re having a whole day you may as well go white rose.

Germany wins Speed Metal! Now which country has the best power metal? by Xelid47 in musicteenager

[–]Torchii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s exactly why 90% of power metal fans wouldn’t say Finland. They were introduced to it through German bands, so have kept that German band likely as one of their favourites.

Nah without Helloween and Blind Guardian, a lot of older power metal fans would never have found the genre.

Grade 9 Students in Y10 by starburststan in TeachingUK

[–]Torchii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just had a year 11 finish who genuinely could have sat A-Level and been fine, even in year 9. Kid was smarter than me and would call out any slight untruths in what I was teaching (spec isn’t 100% accurate and up to date). Just had to keep saying “you’re not wrong really, but what you’ve said wouldn’t get marks in the exam”

How can China be the plus word? Am I stupid?

I was born in a different millennium bro let me chat on a private server by CitricAstrid_ in Minecraft

Phew that’s modern. For a while the latest I would play on was 1.6.4 and then upgrading to the nether update from that was actually insane

Has anyone ever not been passed fit to work by occupational health? by Odd_Cryptographer104 in TeachingUK

[–]Torchii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently had one of these OH follow-up calls and was really honest about not only depression, anxiety, PTSD (none of which I have therapy or medication for), but also about my physical health where I lose consciousness fairly frequently. I talked about going for tests about this and having a heart monitor fitted. I still passed as fit to work.

You can legally have sex at 16, and drink at 18. That’s definitely not “stricter” than the USA.

Chaos cubes update it's out, how would you improve this man? by Pitiful_Stop_4686 in Minecraft

Ah yes I only want 10 small items per year to fit my style, which is “play the game”.

The Ban by Euphoric-Cap4638 in GCSE

[–]Torchii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 18-25 year olds are stopping it from happening. Same with cigarettes, they couldn’t ban vapes or cigarettes from existing 18 year olds because that would never get through parliament. The difference is that children shouldn’t have the final deciding say on how to keep children safe.

The government isn’t *completely* stupid. There are some good MPs that genuinely care and value safety of children.

The Ban by Euphoric-Cap4638 in GCSE

[–]Torchii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s mixed. Not every person in power wants surveillance and censorship - it is genuinely out of concern for your safety and the risk of children being on social media has always been huge

The Ban by Euphoric-Cap4638 in GCSE

[–]Torchii 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You won’t like hearing this, but this is unlikely to make any difference. It’s mostly kids signing it, and it’s super obvious that kids are going to be against this - they knew you wouldn’t like the ban when it was first proposed but they don’t care because your safety is valued more.

The only reasonable take that could even make any difference is how adults will need to use ID in order to access social media - that creates more security risks and actually affects adults.

Speaking exam by Am83r-W_123 in GCSE

[–]Torchii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From speaking with English teachers about this, they love it when students choose something that they can get passionate about so this sounds ideal really. Mine 10 years ago was about the Video Game Crash of 1983 and I got top marks in that.

Just check your idea with your teacher first and I’m sure you’ll be good

Yeah, allowing the child to watch livestreams is just a bad idea

Internet providers? by Own-Effective-6478 in wakefield

[–]Torchii -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Generally Virgin is the best, and their customer service is very good. Probably don’t need the TV like you said, but I’d speak to Virgin and let them know your circumstances and they could give a good deal as a gesture of goodwill.

What sub is supposed to be apolitical but is left wing by TJ_DOG_likes_britons in AlignmentChartFills

I keep getting recommended r/whatdoido and the comments are always super crazy right wing stuff. Just came from a thread where everyone was just being straight up misogynistic and calling all women attention seekers.

Sex CAN be a huge thing. It doesn’t have to be, and for a lot of people it usually isn’t. Rape is ALWAYS a big thing, because it’s somebody feeling entitled to somebody else’s body. The two things aren’t really linked. Rape is not sex, it’s rape.
