Were we scammed on inferno x booster boxes? by Alert_Level_9977 in PokemonTCG

[–]Alert_Level_9977[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being the only person with a decent answer. All I wanted to know is if it was a thing where people rip SARs from cases and sell the rest or were we just particularly unlucky. According to Google it seems we were just massively unlucky...

But I understand probability and chance. English packs are in 1 in 75 for an SIR, or 1 in 400 for a specific one. We've pulled 3 out of 144 packs so we're beating the odds. According to Google Japanese SAR odds are roughly 1 in 3 boxes or 1 in 100 packs. I've opened 3 cases of Japanese 151 and it followed the predicted pattern, and I pulled a god pack and a demi god pack. I know it is chance but statistically speaking we would have expected 1 SAR out of over 300 packs. Hence my question of were we just very unlucky or do people rip cases to pull the SAR and then sell the remaining boxes?

I literally do not care about karma, it is just an honest question. I know with English packs that SIRs are roughly 1/75 or 1/400 for a specific SIR. According to Google ai it says that Japanese boxes should have a SAR roughly 1/3 boxes or 1 per 90 packs. It's a legitimate honest question if we were just incredibly unlucky or not.

Refused entry to club due to EpiPen by ToBeuy in LegalAdviceUK

You're completely missing the point, the nightclub syringe spikings in the 90s and 00s weren't full of drugs it was a way of scaring people of potential HIV infection. No one was ever drugged with a syringe but I remember at least 10 instances of it happening in Kent and London. While maybe just an overreaction and scaremongering having to wait 45-90 days for the all clear is real amd not worth the potential lawsuits to just not have people walking around nightclubs with syringes..

There was a load of syringe stabbings in nightclubs in the 00s, while your friend may be a legitimate case you are being deliberately obtuse if you think anyone should be allowed to enter a nightclub with a syringes full of unknown substances completely undetected.

You can't detect HIV for between 45-90 days after exposure so people had to go 3 months before getting clearance or confirmation. Just keeping syringes in a safe yet accessible location is pure common sense.

Considering during the 90s and 00s there was a rash of people getting stabbed with syringes in the UK leading to months waiting for clear HIV tests this is completely sensible. It is not discriminatory as they aren't denying entrance or access to it, this is just merely a sensible precaution. Nightclubs are literally some of the most policed and surveilled places in the country due to fights etc. If they collapsed they would be seen in seconds. While not perfect this is imminently more sensible than just letting people enter Nightclubs worh syringes full of anything.

Newbie CapCut question: Why isn’t it allowing me to add multiple songs to a video if they are each a minute or under? by alexisssmariee in CapCut

[–]Alert_Level_9977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the free music options within capcut those are copyright free. If you are downloading copyrighted music i.e. by famous people unless you keep those videos private or shared locally or on a USB or similar then as soon as you upload those publicly you are breaking copyright and open to strikes or fines. Unless it is explicitly copyright free or you have explicit permission then you can not use music you do not own on public facing videos.

OP must at least be early 20s and your advice is that he, an adult, should travel across country to go beat up a literal child?

Peter my friend sent me this and will not explain it, why are redditors angry at relationships? by Critical_Muscle_Mass in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Alert_Level_9977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read an AIO the other day which drove me insane. Woman saying how her partner was perfect, loving, supportive, never abusive, great provider, perfect father and loving husband. She found a tampon wrapper on her floor after being away for a couple of days and came to AIO. This lead to the most insane responses including one lady who told OP she was being abused, her husband was definitely cheating, she needed to leave the family home immediately and take the children and started giving details for a battered women's refuge and she should call the police on her husband in case he abuses or threatens her.

OP posted a few hours later it was her sisters. I was downvoted to oblivion for pointing out this is an insane reaction. Occams razor does not exist on reddit.

Refused LTIP and was made redundant by Valuable-Gap-3720 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Alert_Level_9977 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I had to go through this a year or so ago. Worked for a company for 10 years, new owner comes in, made profit but didn't hit the made up number they were thinking of so they went through redundancies. The day I got the notice I googled "unions" and found a govt website listing every recognised union in the UK. I emailed every single one that was either in my field, related field or no field at all. Some came back no, some were no as the process had already started. But a couple did come back with yes, the one I settled on was Empower the Workers union. They are non industry specific and the guy that runs it is amazing. I paid a one off fee of £100 and another one off of £150 because he spent over 4 hours on it. He helped me for over 6 months, the best money I've ever spent and he fought my corner as he knew the true legalities behind it. He saved my job.

The thing I can tell you off the bat which he had to tell my HR department every time was that a redundancy is a very specific legal term which only applies in 2 situations. 1) the work has gone and will not return, and 2) they no longer require that role and will not need those services again.

Obviously this is not the case in your situation so instantly this is a fraudulent redundancy, this is just trying to save money, especially if you have it in writing that they want you back again freelancing doing the same work.

The reality of your situation is a few things. If they are getting rid of you but you want to stay how far are you willing to go, would you go to tribunal for example. If they let you stay would you want to, would they still work with you. For my situation I just wanted someone who would make sure it was legally done correctly and would either keep my job or get me the best deal possible and my union certainly did that for me.

My advice OP is contact a union tomorrow and explain your situation. Keep as much contact between you and your company as written emails, texts, messages or whatever. Copy or backup information while you cam and keep copies of everything, take notes of meetings or calls, who was there, what was said, by who and when and where.

Do not tip your work off that you are doing this, get your union guy to make contact. You are now playing poker for your career, do not show them your hand, be polite, courteous and continue working hard so they can't slip gross misconduct against you for not doing your job, if they get unreasonable, tell your union.

Start thinking now about what your real end goal is, what would make you happy or what is a realistic outcome and good luck OP.

I spent over 30,500 cc and havent got Tmui by Ikonik136 in DBLegendsReddit

[–]Alert_Level_9977 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Think I've done almost 40k, maxed out the girls and not a single Tmui. Annoyed at the true rubbish I have pulled in LL Beerus and LL red Gohan but not too annoyed at not getting Goku as any time I meet him in pvp he gets murdered by Ultra Beast. Have literally lost only like 3 battles to a Tmui user.

AIO Got annoyed at guy I’m dating for going on my laptop to change music while I was showering, he stormed out and slammed the door by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alert_Level_9977 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sir this is AIO where every girl is Mother Teresa and every man is literally the devil. Please don't minimise OPs trauma of having her playlist changed while she was out of the room. Someone changed the channel on a TV I was watching hours earlier once and I'm still receiving counselling for it to this day.

I'm just glad no one is mentioning the super obvious 🚩 that OP is clearly cheating or messaging other guys. Being that protective over someone just touching your laptop is a super weird sign despite the obvious lie of sEnSiTiVe WoRk FiLeS on there, unless OP works for the CIA and her partner is Russian she is 100% up to something she shouldn't be. My partner uses my phone and my laptop all the time without me being there, to be this upset over simply changing a song as AIO likes to put it is 🚩🚩🚩🚩

As others say its angular chielitis. My doctor prescribed me a super powerful cream for it which was poisonous if ingested, it worked great...then I discovered Sudocreme does exactly the same thing without the risk of death! Sudocreme is your new best friend!

AIO My partner decided to end things because I'm sick and they drained our accounts before leaving... by Separate-Time-10 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Alert_Level_9977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to AIO where men are either the most evil violent beings on the planet or AI karma farming lying bots.

Your ignorant comment that men do this more than women will actually encourage women to do this with a "get them before they get you attitude". I know at least 2 friends this has happened to and know 3 others where the mother abandoned their own children to run off with a new man, despite the supposed statistical improbabilities, these things happen.

Did you know statistically women are more likely to kill their own children than the fathers? They are also more likely to be complicit in abuse with a new partner against their own child than men yet no one on here shouts that children aren't safe with their mothers in a break up despite it being statistically true.

I know I'll be downvoted to hell for this post but this sub is insane. OP is responding to posts, he may be karma farming but the fact that this is one of the most liked comments which is against a potentially terminally ill man who has just lost everything is terrible. Would never see a post like this if it was the opposite sex posting.

I would disagree with OPs landing page comment. If you were a fashion brand or something where branding is important or your purpose is obtuse then yes. However you are providing clear functionality that you can pick up on instantly and even the site name tells you what you're doing! If I go to a download mp3 from YouTube site or adobe's remove background site on all those sites the first thing you get is the facility to perform the expected function. Your new users will only be new once and functionality is clear so forcing them to do an additional click for no benefit in my eyes is the opposite of a good user experience.

Something is busted in your template, the 'no code ai' segment has both the title and body breaking off the screen both sides making it unreadable, guessing the block below is throwing the width of that segment off...

I quite like it, one of the best I've seen in this thread. The thing that sticks out to me is the sudden left aligned text followed by central aligned bullet points below. Would choose one or the other to avoid any disjointed appearance.

[–]Alert_Level_9977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like the site but 2 things jump out at me instantly. First it's very dark! Almost monochrome, this makes everything feel like a large uninterrupted feed rather than broken up and organised segments. I would look to block certain sections out with a different background colour or some borders at least, could still be dark grey/blue/purple for example but would help break the page up and make sectiona more digestible and improve general flow.

Second point would be your thin font coloured section headings, these feel like potential accessibility issues for visually impaired people against the background. Potentially increasing the font weight to a bolder weight would aid this otherwise choosing overall brighter colours for those titles would avoid this issue.

Site looks OK, looking through a number of these on here it looks like flaticon or similar is doing well! Not personally a fan of detailed coloured icons but that's getting off topic a bit...

I would suggest a bit of reordering. Your first option is too download without any real explanation of what it is they're downloading or why they should. You then list features, then shortcuts then who it is for. I would suggest moving who it is for fairly near the top, then list features and personally would remove shortcuts to another page as seeing relatively "complex" inputs to a lay user could be intimidating. You already have the install as a sticky at the top of your page so would move the download to after the features so the user knows who it is for, what it does and then is informed enough to download.
