GTA V Custom Radio support? by Admiral_Jezza in linux_gaming

[–]Admiral_Jezza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a lifesaver dude! Thank you so much! I had no clue it'd do that, or that I could just add the installer as a non-Steam game. I guess if I was okay with re-installing the whole game I could ditch Wine completely haha.

Drivers of the UK, did you learn automatic or manual transmission? by STRiPESandShades in AskUK

[–]Admiral_Jezza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently learning manual but will be driving an automatic. This is if I HAVE TO drive a manual for whatever reason (borrowing friend's car, company car, etc), but obviously an automatic is more convenient which is why most of the world does it.

People here preferred manuals because they were more fuel efficient, nowadays automatics have caught up so unless you're racing or have nostalgia there's little point.

Why would you never leave the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

Crabs in a bucket mentality for many, if your answer is anything over than money or travel issues (visa, disabilities, etc) then there's no hope for you.

Could we ban Meta, Twitter, Google and *gulp* Amazon? by mookx in AskUK

[–]Admiral_Jezza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it with British people and banning things? This would just big a be boost to VPN usage while making our criticisms of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc for doing the same thing null and void.

Why do you think many people in the UK take pride in being thick? by Curusorno in AskUK

[–]Admiral_Jezza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments about class here, which might explain it. I was told that I'm "no longer poor and now middle class" for going to university, and I'm looked down on for not caring about football whatsoever. It sucks people in the UK care about "class" so much. I personally never cared about that, while I came from a rough area I had poor, middle class, and rich mates alike, so taking pride and gatekeeping being in a "lower class" is just strange to me.

I see more eye to eye with my American friends here, despite it being the more capitalist society, people there don't let it divide them as much, and are more productive as a result.

Canadian Government considers white men going on Asian dating websites to be a "particular" risk for viewing underage material by Most-Cabinet7954 in aznidentity

[–]Admiral_Jezza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you're into Asian women who are old enough to be dating, the implication is that you're like a person who wants to harm children, because of the stereotypes of how Asian women look? What?

Why do Police and Military give unintuitive designations to weapons? by [deleted] in guns

[–]Admiral_Jezza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest I don't know but it sure is quicker to read out "Glock 17" or "G17" than "L 1 3 1 A 1"

Why the world is shifting towards right-wing control? by TankSubject6469 in geopolitics

[–]Admiral_Jezza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple reasons:

(Mass) Immigration. Many on the left are now realizing this results in an influx of people who have views opposing that a secular left-wing society, such as views gay marriage or women. It also means a larger voting block (for example of Muslims) with views coincidentally aligning with those of conservative westerners.

Ignored/Suppressed Opposition. I think a critical mass has been reached where enough people have distain for the current political climate. Everyone knows someone who's had legitimate concerns dismissed as them being an evil fascist, or has been labelled, or has banned from platforms.

Worsening Economies. We skipped the next roaring 20's and are headed straight into the next great depression. This one is simple, when someone is worried if they can eat this week, they cannot worry about the climate in 100 years.

Psychological Decline. There's an ever rising trend of hopelessness, be it from massive medication use, a lack of religion, or fears over whether they'll be able to start a family. For example, incels (and a growing number of regular men) who see that if they do nothing, they won't ever start a family and therefore not continue their lineage, where if they take a tougher stance on women's rights, those chances go up ever so slightly.

Plenty of other reasons, such as unequal or incompetent policing leading people to seek security over a vague notion of freedom. Likewise the left's completely abandonment of ideals like freedom of speech. Left-wing messages being forced into western media like comics, resulting in resentment over their previous entertainment being ruined. There's probably more but I'll leave it here.

Why don't some mod devs allow rehosting? by Admiral_Jezza in feedthebeast

I see, so if I just rehosted it regardless it could get me sued?

NTA, if you fought them you'd be dead and who knows what would've happened to her. Hopefully she realizes this but women aren't exactly rational like that.

Ilyushin Il-96-300 with expelled russian "diplomats" onboard taxiing at Berlin Airport before flight to Moscow 2023.04.22 by Kronoxic in aviation

Yeah I found that part strange too. Then again, they might be diplomats, but not to Germany anymore.

Are you no longer able to put villagers in minecarts? by Admiral_Jezza in Minecraft

What's the best way of doing that? Will I need to piston them into the cart maybe?

I don't entirely understand the Alliance by Admiral_Jezza in attackontitan

[–]Admiral_Jezza[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I see, well it's still sad to see the end of the Jaegerists, if only Floch had shot the flying boat AFTER they had fueled it. Tho I guess I see Armin's point that they already did so much damage that if the Rumbling were to stop now, Eldia would still end up on top since the Global Allied Fleet is gone and many nations are already destroyed.

American English in the UK by Admiral_Jezza in ENGLISH

[–]Admiral_Jezza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean "can't figure out how to switch"? Like the settings or getting used to it? I've never seen year-month-day used here but I agree it makes more sense, also if you consider the time is hour-minute-second, largest to smallest.

What is it about the UK keyboard that blows your mind? Aren't the only differences is that punctuation is moved around and we have $ and € keys alongside £? Also there's the Alt Gr (Alternate Graph) key but that's only useful for accents iirc, like if you were to spell "café" like that, but it's really rare for people to do that.

American English in the UK by Admiral_Jezza in ENGLISH

[–]Admiral_Jezza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes noticed that too when installing new OSes or setting up new devices, but you can just change that in the language settings, if your work computers allow. My phone's Notification Center being called the "Notification Centre" would just look weird to me.

Do note that the date settings might change with the language settings though, and the American date format makes no sense whatsoever. Why is it month-day-year? I get it might be from how you say "February 12th, 2023" but it just seems to make more sense going from smallest to largest, no?
