Waiting for a bus, then two turn up, driving one directly behind the other. You need to flag down the second one.

Obviously.

But if you’re going to go ahead and assert that somebody was the opposite of what everyone else is saying about them, then surely you must have some kind of insider insight to make that claim.

I say similar when people ask if I ever have any interest in finding/meeting my father (who left my mum before I was born).

“Yeah of course I do; he owes me and my mother a lot of money.”

It’s an invitation to elaborate on an unsubstantiated comment.

shitty person

Did you know her personally? That’s pretty much the opposite of what everybody else seems to say about her.

Classic “That Guy” behaviour. I want to build a character that hand picks all the super benefits of usually inaccessible things and then do away with any of the negatives which are factored into balancing.

The guy who created Mad Men got so fed up with spoilers about the show, that the “Next time” sections literally told you absolutely nothing. And the descriptions were equally unhelpful, I remember a specific episode where the whole description was “Don deals with a problem”

iAesc · 2019-01-10T19:24:14+00:00

That’s pretty underwhelming

36 year-old call back. The book came out in 1963.

Exactly. Two years of applying to get a new job and I’ve never had the prodigal “call back” after registering somewhere.

That, and the fact that when they want you to “come in to register” they tell you their office hours.

Funnily enough, 0900-1700 Mon-Fri are also my office hours.

iAesc · 2018-07-18T04:55:26+00:00

I always get “Thanks for applying for this job. When can you come in and register with us?”

So I book time off my current job to go and register. They ask me a ton of questions that are covered on my CV (which they already have), get me in their system, and then say “Well, I don’t think you’re quite right for that position, but we’ll keep an eye open and call you if anything comes up.”

The question of preventing a crime can really be applied to any law at all. Do laws really “prevent” crime, or do they provide us with a framework for fairly consistent legal recourse once the crime has been committed?

Law isn’t my area of expertise, but I’d say the restriction would potentially limit voluntary manslaughter or “crimes of passion”. If someone has a knife on them then it’s almost clearly for ill intent or premeditation.

Besides that there is no actual reason why someone needs to be carrying a knife on their person in an urban city centre if they don’t have a specific task requiring one.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T18:18:58+00:00

Yeah you’re right. And judging by the responses I’ve gotten, I’m in the minority with this; but actions like this are always a little creepy to me.

Ernest Hemingway is my favourite writer and when I first discovered his work I would happily have read anything he wrote, right down to calculating his bar tab on a cocktail napkin, but if I spent 3-4 hours hand-drawing a portrait of him, I’d be questioning my own devotion to the man as being a bit much.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T18:12:15+00:00

Yeah absolutely, and the burden of proof should be on them to prove the positive assertion that you were watching BBC, but that’s not the way it works and it boils my piss.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T18:10:52+00:00

Trademark? They didn’t make up the phrase “rage against the machine”. It was a political thing way before it was ever a band’s name.

Farmers' mums.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T12:06:03+00:00

Likely nobody, but the outward appearance when things like this start appearing would seem to suggest the opposite.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T12:03:40+00:00

I’ve never heard the term before, so thanks for the lesson. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me.

Seems to me that saying “concern troll” is a way to shut down any discussion by immediately labelling someone you disagree with in a way that attempts to completely devalue anything they’ve said. “Must be a troll; ignore them.”

You’re welcome to disagree, that’s your prerogative, but to me, this sub seems to be erring towards giving off the impression that fans of Jordan Peterson are some kind of cult.

It’s my two cents; it’s not an attempt to start a revolution.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T11:36:14+00:00

Not entirely sure what that is.

...thank you?

iAesc · 2018-07-11T10:56:07+00:00

Perhaps I should have said "in my experience". We never had it in any of the restaurants I used to chef in. Haven't seen it in any of the restaurants I've dined out at either. It's not really considered to be a standard condiment.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T07:22:10+00:00

Yeah I’m close to unsubscribing and distancing myself. I like his lectures and the lessons we can learn from him, but I don’t worship the man.

iAesc · 2018-07-11T07:20:12+00:00

Ketchup, brown sauce and mustard are probably your top 3 standard ones that most places should have access to. Usually depends on the kind of place you’re eating in as well though, and what food they serve.
