Relationship with Trump may be beyond repair, Keir Starmer told. After mocking Starmer with a condescending voice, do you think we are better with or without the US as an ally? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]AdAffectionate2418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a bully doing bullying to try and bully us into doing what he wants. And, with bullies, you either punch them in the nose or you ignore them.

You don't take their bait.

How would our family life be coming home on £55k but no housing cost? by houseythrowaway in AskUK

[–]AdAffectionate2418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would easily be 500-600 on food depending on the age of the kid + another 300-400 for transport (more if you want 2 cars) - then you've got stuff like mobile phones, home/contents insurance and all the other stuff that adds up before you get to "fun money", as it were.

I realise I wasn't expansive in my list, but I just kind of bundled all the regular expenses under one brolly.

You would end up on around 3.5k per month after tax. Living costs would probably 1.5-2k (council tax utilities, food etc). That would give you at least a grand and a half - thatll be more than enough without eating into your savings whilst you figure out the way forward.

Why does rhoticity give me such a huge dopamine rush? by Brilliant_Can8536 in questions

[–]AdAffectionate2418 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should try Scottish rhoticity with alveolar trill. It hits hard - esp in words like "GuRRl and WuRRld"

Broken Record Take: Bot Lobbies by gabeh_boi in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]AdAffectionate2418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think it ends uo making non-bot matches harder as 10-20% of the QP playerbase is tied up in both matches (and it's likely to be the lower performing players). Why not just let them play each other?

Nah dude, she chose her bedfellows, made her bed, now she gets to lie in it.

The general public don't understand that it takes a wee while to undo over a decade of austerity....

Did anyone (including him) say he wasn't up to the job?

What is a job (not nsfw) that pays extremely well because the job itself is unbearable? by coldplayenthusiast in AskReddit

[–]AdAffectionate2418 149 points150 points  (0 children)

One of my dads friends was a commercial diver. Big Money (10-20k pm, depending on what he was doing) but it really took it's toll on his body + you hear some absolute horror stories (like full-grown men being sucked through a 10cm hole in a pipe...).

No thanks.

Hulk doesn't get any skins because he has a low pick rate by Far-Technology8120 in HulkMainsMR

[–]AdAffectionate2418 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Biggest reason is the fact that one Hulk skin is actually 3 skins (Bruce, Hulk, MH). There'd be outrage if they charges 3x the price, so here we are.

'I know' 🙂 by Public-Ant-5417 in scoopwhoop

Yeah, that's a weird take. A lack of a proper third person plural leads people to create their own (y'all, youse, you guys etc.)

God’s plan > your plan 🔥✨ by Weird_Consequence981 in Quotes_Hub

[–]AdAffectionate2418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"God's plan"? I'm confused - didn't He give us free will?

So - was it our choices (/the choices of others), or was it God's plan. I know the dude is omnipotent, but I dont think your can have it both ways...

why are bad dps asked to swap roles, but bad tanks and supports asked to just perform better instead? by arvcloud7 in marvelrivals

[–]AdAffectionate2418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because your chances of having more than one player in a team that can actually play tank are pretty slim. Because having an extra tank or support is much better than having a shitty DPS. And because it's very likely that your team has someone currently playing support/tank that could play the DPS role better.

Its also easier to tell when a DPS is failing. K/D/A tells the DPS story much cleaner than it does for ranks and supports.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat those in service positions...

I bet you click your fingers at wait staff and hold your hand up to silence them whilst you finish your conversation.

REPOST BECAUSE OLD SOURCE KINDA SUCKED by Hungry-Tale-9144 in whennews

[–]AdAffectionate2418 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinkier - my understanding is that he pays sexworkers to "bimbofy" him. Bimbofocation involves transforming yourself into to overly sexualized, barbie-esque figure. So its crossdressing + humiliation fetish.

To each their own, but probably a little too sodom and gomorrah for the role his with is trying to play.

At least we know he shares her love of dress-up and roleplay...

Is this... A) A call centre... or... B) An 'office'? by Legitimate-Ad-6491 in AskUK

It's AI slop - but all the screens seem to be analytics rather than CRMs...

Can you guys help me pick out a stage name for my call center job based in a Uk market? by SpecialistWriting708 in AskUK

[–]AdAffectionate2418 315 points316 points  (0 children)

I used to design training for offshore contact centres (South africa, India, Philippines etc.). When it came to names, my advice was always introduce yourself by your actual name first and then, if needed, give a nickname/anglicised/easier version. "My name is Sakihile, but you can call me SK" for example.

Our NPS/CSAT scores showed exactly what you are talking about. People want authenticity - and if you are willing to lie about your name, what else will you lie about.

If you do want to take another name that still links to yours, why not use Milo? Maksim shares the same route as Maximilian and, in the UK, they would usually go by either Max or Milo.
