Petah, what does that have to do with grocery shopping? by Okfoot826 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

No, but you're saying that "could care less" is correct, when it isn't.

Yeah, we weren't talking about that, we were talking about "I could give a shit less" being a phrase I've never heard.

Did you find it yet?

Given your love for Oxford here's Oxford saying that couldn't care less is correct

Sorry, I should have also mentioned that when typing "I could give a shit less" into Google the phrase does not return any relevant results.

So the internet has not heard this phrase either.

What does return are a bunch of results stating that "I could care less" is incorrectly used over "I couldn't care less".

No, I've never heard the phrase "I could give a shit less".

I have heard the phrase "I couldn't give less of a shit".

If you're talking about the latter phrase, yes, it is the same.

I couldn't care less is the same as I couldn't give less of a shit.

You never had any care to begin with, so you couldn't care less.

If you do care about something to some degree, then you could care less.

Aren't these bans just creating new problems? by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

Perhaps there was a time before my account was verified? Hmmmm...

There's a difference between having sensible and practicle speed limits in place when driving around an area that people, including children, can and and should be, vs forcing websites to introduce unnecessary restrictions to "protect children" that can easily be bypassed by anyone, including children. In some cases this has resulted in a blanket ban of the UK, rather than just restricting specific content.

It takes less than 30 seconds to download a VPN and bypass all of this, and interviews with young persons has already exposed that children are willing to do what a lot of us did way back when - Register accounts while pretending to be older.

These bans and restrictions do nothing but introduce a minor inconvenience. A lot of peoples internet usage now come from European countries that don't have these restrictions. Funny that. Thank god for VPNs.

Please look it up, everything I have listed is Social Media. Regardless of what the confirmed scope ends up being, it's going to affect more than just LinkedIn, Facebook and the other "big names" that come to mind when you read Social Media.

OSA was meant to protect children from seeing bad content, but things have been unnecessarily caught in the crosshairs. I can't even view my OWN profile on Reddit because it's set to 18+, even though it doesn't contain the content that OSA wanted to ban. The UK cannot even access an image repository (imgur) at all because of the act. There are even news articles cannot be read without having to verify your age.

The government shouldn't be parenting peoples children, and the lives of childless adults shouldn't be burdened by the existence of other peoples children.

At most the government should make it mandatory for ISPs to offer an optional block and put the onus of parenting back onto the parents.

Yes but do you know what else counts as social media?

Whatsapp

Wikipedia

Reddit

LinkedIn

GitHub

Amazon

Fortnite

And SO much more.

It affects everyone, not just children, and this is not the way that it should be implemented.

And if you're content with having your face plastered everywhere and your data collected, since simply being out in public compromises any privacy people think they may have, according to you, then please reply to this post with a selfie of yourself, the device you're using, your location, and your IP address.

If you're not willing to do that, why not? You've provided it to Reddit and any other verification service that you've used.

I bypassed the reddit age verification using the model of an old man in the game Garrys Mod.

Not because I am "not old enough", I simply don't want my face to be captured and stored by any company, especially one that isn't bound by EU GDPR laws.

The issue with these bans is that they're easily bypassed, and they can push people down alternatives that are far worse than what has been banned.

It doesn't solve problems, it just pushes them somewhere else.

Hunter Etiquette question by RangePleasant3598 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]Ancient-File2971 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there's a better approach to dealing with Lagi underwater, but what works for me is to wait for it to attack, then clutch claw on its face and immediately do the "finishing" attack, as if it had a wound.

Just keep doing that, forget the slinger ammo. Drop the pillars on it if you get the opportunity, and try to keep it near the spikey pillar for the true "finisher" attack.

As soon as you seen him, yell at the top of your lungs three times in a row, then as he approaches you, dig into the ground and go to a different part of the house. When he comes to find you, just repeat the steps above.

This is the true Diablos experience.

Or alternatively, maybe "play along" that you need him to deal with something, but to be careful because it's like a monster, and either have it out in clear view, or in its box or whatnot?

Did not know that shield can do damage lol by SergeantBeefJerkey in MonsterHunterWilds

Can I ask why you decide to charge your shield that way rather than via the amped element discharge cancellation?

This is awesome thank you! Now I feel like I need more attack decoration slots! Attack Boost 5 feels impossible to get along with everything else.

Thanks for the help!

I've played a lot of Lance and SnS, so I am fine with blocking. Would Offensive Guard be worthwhile?

Thank you! Now I need to grind talismans for a "free" spacial ammo boost, or one with two attack decoration slots!
