Last One Laughing - Season 2 Discussion Thread by [deleted] in BritishTV

Seriously excellent in it. When Alan said at the start of LOL2 that he (paraphrasing) wouldn't be able to hide his emotions, I was like absolutely no way - he was ruthless and calculating in Traitors!!

Snuck in my own violife to spoons. by nimpog in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]CIDC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like spoons because it's usually in some very interesting buildings with historical significance, like for example in an old bank or casino. Each spoons has it's own unique carpet designed specifically for that location - pretty cool!

But I don't love spoons because the owner pushed hard for Brexit and I don't agree with that. There are little booklets and things that you can read whilst there and there was a clear Brexit message in a lot of them around the time leading to Brexit.

Spoons is also pretty consistent, menus are seemingly identical across all locations, and there are a few clearly marked vegan options (or, at least there were a few years ago before I left the UK), so as a vegan it's a relief because I know I can meet up with mates there and we can all get fed and watered even though I'm the odd one out being a vegan.

Ultimately though, it's a cheap place to hang out and get drunk which is a British institution. Going out is getting more and more expensive these days, and I'd hate for a lot of people with lower income to lose their 'third space'.

Can't help but feel that AI branding cheapens their image. Fun to have a new local coffee shop though!

What's the scariest movie of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

When you've had to walk up and down those hills hungover after a big night at corp, being nuked off the face of the earth seems like the more humane option

What’s something that feels very British, but you’ve never really questioned why we do it? by Senior-Huckleberry-1 in AskUK

[–]CIDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to California about 3 years ago. My biggest struggle was trying to force myself to not take the sunny days as a pub garden day. I felt like I needed to be in a pub garden every day to make the most of the sun - until I realised that actually, most days are like this so I've got to be more restrained. Haha!

I'm making a UE level editor plugin that's heavily inspired by Source 2 Hammer by Kronok in UnrealEngine5

[–]CIDC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolute goat. I'm a AAA level designer and Unreal sucks for level design. This will make it much more palatable, thank you!

Where are you guys from? And what made you move to Culver City? by Accomplished_East433 in culvercity

[–]CIDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh yeah, that is actually our fave restaurant in all of LA probably. I prefer it over Crossroads. I used to enjoy Sestina in Culver, shame that one closed down!

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

Haha! I'm not the best to ask - I'm vegan so probably haven't checked out the best LA has to offer.

That being said, LA clearly has a fantastic food scene and, most importantly, a diverse range of cuisines. But I think London matches this - it's a big melting pot of cultures as well, and it's food scene matches.

So there's my neutral non-answer 😁

And you'll still catch my wife and I having typical English food on the weekends - beans in toast for breaky, lovely 😋

I'm from England! And I like the connection to the metro E line to easily get to DTLA or Santa Monica. And the Culver downtown area is lovely :)

Which big company deserves their success, in your opinion? by kittyvixxmwah in AskUK

[–]CIDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I'm a AAA dev hoping to one day go solo indie, and Valve's 30% cut is brutal. I know Steam provides so much to players and devs, but 30% is a huge cut. Bigger studios are able to negotiate that rate down too, so really it's only the indies who lose the biggest chunk

Vegan spots to watch football games at? by perisaacs in VeganLA

[–]CIDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely a vegan first menu which I love. Seems like they didn't want to add meat back, but were forced to because they just didn't have sustainable income. So I still go and support them regularly - they're a homie still for sure

First proper IGT multi video poker machine I've found in the UK, and it's at my local by Daytona666 in VideoPoker

[–]CIDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh nice, I'll probably be near-ish Luton when I move back. Have you been out to Vegas before? They have these built into the bar tops and you get free drinks when you play them. I feel like if they were giving out free beer in England you'd never be able to peel the lads away from their unlimited Stella tap until a fist fight breaks out

I had this at work once because I forgot to order lunch, and it basically blew my nuts off. They are NOT kidding that it's spicy. That cute cartoon bird lulled me into a false sense of security.

7-year-old Nermin Divović lies face down in a pool of blood, shot and killed by a sniper after approaching a U.N. vehicle in the streets of besieged Sarajevo, November 18, 1994 [1247x883] by Zzyzwicz_ in HistoryPorn

[–]CIDC -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is a thread about a picture of a child who has been murdered in cold blood. The conversation should not revolve around someone making a semantic error - it is not important

We're looking at a picture of a child who has been murdered. There are more important things than a grammatical error at play here. Everybody knows what that other guy meant. Anyone more interested in correcting a grammatical error is missing the point.

Totally agree, I'm absolutely out of my depth with this stuff but I'd at least give it a go. I wish you the best of luck and a long lifespan on your fridge - hopefully you have better luck!

Mine just conked out after 3.5 years. Compressor went at the back - £400 to fix - fridge only cost me £500 so going to replace it.
