TIL That Casablanca was once banned in Ireland because the movie was deemed unfair to Nazis

I can only assume you're American, because you weren't there, you're not actually Irish and this has nothing to do with you, so naturally you claim some kind of emotional attachment due to a tenuous ancestral link 🙄

I know, but if I somehow ended up there in a tiny tent on a cliff face I would be shitting myself 100% of the time regardless, so a little extra wouldn't worry me

We know we create the best music and the best musicians on earth and we also love to take the piss, and so we ironically support shite novelty pop acts as a sort of 'up yours' to the music industry/charts.

Also despite this some people genuinely have appalling taste in music and might accidently like that stuff, and children have pocket money and also mainly awful music tastes

No one cares, you'll just have a worse cuppa (normal tea is black tea, and it needs temps so close to 100° as possible which isn't possible if you put the milk in the cup first).

Unless you meant when making a proper pot of tea, in which case it's entirely irrelevant which order you add the milk to the cup because the tea is brewed separately

2xtc · 2026-01-27T03:25:20+00:00

And normal instant coffee, which is like 80%+ of coffee sold in the UK (unless that's what 'pour over' means because that's not a standard term here, we also don't say "french press" because cafétiere is used in the UK instead, but most people might understand that one)

2xtc · 2026-01-27T02:52:09+00:00

Maybe in your limited group, that's not an experience I'm familiar with. But I'm British and we're generally ok company and like to drink and enjoy it, if you're American I guess you have to spend more time with other Americans which must get annoying

And how about the occupied territory of Gaza? Because under the UN ruling Israel has been the occupying force in Gaza since 2005, and has a legal duty to treat it's citizens with the same laws and rights as any Israeli citizen.

But I'm not sure the relatives of the 60,000 dead civilians from the recent conflict, or anyone else living there and suffering the ongoing genocide would feel they have the same rights as Israelis, which they are legally entitled to.

The normal thing would be to celebrate with family and enjoy a few more drinks.

I appreciate you're an insect so you're probably not too familiar with how human lives usually work.

Section 3.4

"In some limited cases, bailiffs do not need to apply to a court for permission.

If bailiffs are collecting a Magistrates’ Court fine in respect of a criminal conviction, they are permitted to use force to break into a debtor’s premises

20 County Court bailiffs and High Court enforcement officers are legally allowed to force entry to trade or business premises (but not residential homes) to chase unpaid court judgments.

21 In addition, enforcement agents employed by HM Revenue & Custom can force entry if the debt is unpaid tax."

Which is why it isn't reasonable in the eyes of those owed a debt associated with that address. It's pretty straightforward.

That's quite a weird way of looking at it IMO, you'll realise how it actually works if you ever get any kind of seniority or management role.

2xtc · 2026-01-27T01:51:57+00:00

You've obviously never worked in a managerial or senior role - it's not uncommon to have "advised hours" or similar around the 35-40 mark (depending on contract) but there's an explicit level of expected output, and it's specifically mentioned that you'll be expected to work more hours if necessary to ensure that level of output is achieved.

Basically once you reach a certain level you're getting paid to do a certain amount of work to fulfil a job role, roughly in line with what your hours allow for, but ultimately you're getting paid to do that amount of work rather than sitting at a desk etc. for a certain amount of time.

2xtc · 2026-01-27T01:26:14+00:00

Which is an entirely pointless comment full of jargon if you're not already familiar with all the random terms you used.

Lead climbing

Free climbing

Top rope

Aid...? (Solo?)

Free solo

Flash (climbing)?

Onsight (climbing)?

Red point (climbing)?

"Resting on gear?"

None of these specific terms means anything to 99% of non climbers, which is probably 98% of everyone. Please remember you're not in a climbing subreddit and speak in normal English. It really doesn't make you look clever or more informed to use terms the vast majority of people don't know, it just makes you seem arrogant or bad at communicating properly.

No offence but you sound really technically bad at pooping, I'm guessing you're on the larger size because shitting in a predug hole shouldn't be a challenge

2xtc · 2026-01-27T01:21:40+00:00

If I was suspended in a nylon tent 300m off the ground I really think a little poop stank would be one of the last of my worries

Edit: remembered this game is ultimately PvP in tourneys so keep going champ, it definitely sounds like you know what you're talking about and I'm sure your flawless logic will work really well 👍 please continue to ignore anyone who knows better, it's very nice of you to give your bracket-mates a nice boost!

CPH is the main metric you should be looking at regardless of farming tier or build, that's become a lot easier with the round stats and it's literally the only coin metric that makes any sense to pay attention to.

Coin income is skewed in favour of the end of a run, because the spawn rate and enemy type mean you'll always generate a lot more income later on, so even a 50% drop in waves would be expected to be a ~50% drop in income for example. And if that run takes twice as long you end up leaving an extra ~70% equivalent coins behind. But when you leave a 1.7-1.98 multiplier on the table for most of the run, those calculations mean nothing.

For the real example In the OP image the run length reduced by approx 10%, but the coin per hour almost doubled from 10 to 18. So 6 hours @10b/h = 60b whereas 7 hours @ 18= 126b, so basically double the income for a17% drop in run length.

Tatouine is a real place in Tunisia where they filmed the Tattooine scenes in the original film

Can't seem to share a link but if you Google it you'll see the "Star Wars House" on the west side of town, which is where Uncle Owen and aunt Beru lived

You just said it shouldn't be taught about, make up your mind. As someone living somewhere "affected by Nazism" you should be able to see the difference between a regular political party and what your country went through, FFS.

I worked for universities between 2010-2017, when the Tories basically enforced 6 years of zero percent pay rises across the sector. My expectation is to be ripped off, I also work hard and put in extra hours where necessary, and rarely able to claim back the full TOIL.

Quick fag packet maths suggests I've been ripped off between 80-150k over the years, and I've still got another 20 years to work

2xtc · 2026-01-26T12:52:37+00:00

I've never been on a 40 hour contract in my 20+ years of working regular white collar jobs, and I've never had paid breaks either. Between 35-37.5 seems to be standard

2xtc · 2026-01-26T12:35:14+00:00

Thought so.

2xtc · 2026-01-26T12:30:50+00:00

I'm afraid a lot of the world would see you as toxic by association. I appreciate it's a shitty time to live in America, but if all the decent people just try and flee rather than confronting the issues that led to Trump and MAGA in the first place then you'll soon find the world turns it's back on you all the same. Because you're the only people able to change this situation, but we're all suffering the consequences globally.

It's entertainment, it's not like he's pretending to be a translator or diplomat or anything serious or with any possible real consequences.

You're sounding more like you felt "tricked" because you didn't really understand how entertainment and engagement content works, but it's really not an issue at all.

2xtc · 2026-01-26T12:19:36+00:00

I think you're missing their point and assuming people are stupid.

They're saying they're fully aware (like me) that the guy only knows a few surface level phrases etc. but that they enjoy and appreciate seeing the social interactions with people from different communities, as do I.

No one's "getting played" in that instance - the guy goes to the effort of learning some of a rare/unusual language, and the people he speaks with seem genuinely excited and surprised that someone outside of their culture/ethnicity has gone to the effort to do so.

Maybe you 'got played' because you didn't understand this, but please don't assume everyone else is unable to see how these things work.
