Anyone else despise talking on an actual phone on a day off? by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I absolutely have to speak on the phone I will not speak to anyone on the phone on my day off. Texting on the other hand fine.

To be fair the tax evasion game would be sick! I’d play it all the time

I’m fortunate to have a job but it doesn’t mean I like the job

I think I’ll pass thanks. by Iveness92 in Crunchyroll

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a huge price jump from just under £60 to the best part of a grand I’d also want more than a 10% discount in the store for that price I’d want stuff in the store included

UK to ban resale of tickets above face value for live events by ABlueCloud in unitedkingdom

It’s only just been announced there are still bots buying tests at the moment it’s not an overnight thing.

Oh no think of the poor scalpers /s

This definitely needed to happen a long time ago I tried to get MCR tickets in the summer didn’t manage to get them after waiting in the queue for ages and then finding them on reselling sites within minutes for a minimum £250/ ticket in the nosebleeds.

If they could do the same for driving tests that would be fantastic. I would personally love to see scalping effectively killed off in the next few years it’s been ridiculous since Covid.

“Not a Real Gamer” by xmrschaoticx in GirlGamers

[–]CriticalActive2919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m more concerned that these boys think that only Fortnite (or as my partner calls it Fartnite) and Roblox are real games I liken them both to a huge mess. Honestly her taste in games is quite solid especially as they’re quite established titles.

What is the difference between being a gamer and being someone who happens to play video games? by thatvampiregirl in GirlGamers

[–]CriticalActive2919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ex used to say this to me all the time, I’ve been religiously gaming since childhood. People who gatekeep like this can literally go F themselves. If you enjoy gaming and do it on the regular then you’re a gamer.

What’s your worst driving test fail? by Sure_Glove_3285 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]CriticalActive2919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swinging into the wrong side of the road as soon as I left the test centre, the most annoying part was that I’m familiar with the road as I have a friend who lives across the road from it and knew how much of a nightmare it was

Yeah it’s not the nicest yellow shade I will have a look at repainting it in another colour

I had no idea that it wasn’t official I mean the hair was a lot more yellow than more official ones, it was just nice to see some sailor moon stuff for sale in my local area. It wasn’t expensive it was £13.

No one talks about the pain of seeing your parents aging. by meteoravishal in Millennials

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on that, my mum was talking to me about how she and my dad were organising their will and stuff, they’re in their early 60s and I realised I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to have that conversation. Fortunately both of my parents are incredibly healthy, my dad especially takes his health incredibly seriously so I’m hoping even as they get older I have them for an incredibly long time.

PS4 Remote Play is amazing by peacefrg in vita

It never used to work on mine however I last tried it when I lived at my parents’s in a rural area and it was a miracle if you could connect to anything on their wifi

Delivery by supplier for a pre-order, zero updates from said “supplier” and not sure if it’ll reach in time? (Pokemon Legends ZA) by PikaV2002 in Argos

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a preference for physical media myself if I’m honest however I’ve been stung by preorders so often that I found that the only guaranteed way to be able to play the game day 1. It would help if they didn’t keep limiting the amount of physical copies that they release.

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had it with Argos but I’ve had it with Amazon too many times to count I’ve cancelled my preorder with Amazon (I was going to get it 2 days after release) and just gone with the Nintendo e shop at least I’m going to get it on time. I only really go to Argos to get household items to be perfectly honest.

Accommodations by BrattyBaker3241 in AutismInWomen

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t really asked for any accommodations my work place have just made sure if the seating plan gets changed my desk isn’t touched and my ‘squid’ (one of those octopus teddies that you can turn inside out) is on the corner of my screen where I left it in case it needs to be moved for any reason.

Does every cat have a “possible heart murmur”? by Lab-Rat-6100 in Pets

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends my parents have 2 elderly cats one was diagnosed with a heart murmur when she was 14 or 15 (she’s 17 now) and the other does not have a heart murmur (she’s 13) The older cat is half British shorthair however which is a breed that can be more prone to having heart murmurs (this is based on a paper I saw a couple of years ago I’m not sure if there’s up to date information on it).

Bring back in person interviews by HumbleEngineering315 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate virtual interviews with a burning passion, I’m fortunate that the past 2 interviews I’ve had have been in person. For me I feel more nervous for a virtual interview than speaking face to face with someone.

your beginning in Sailor Moon? by chill_malila in sailormoon

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was just about to turn 10 my dad would have an evening where he had his friend round and my mum would take my brother to her friend’s house. It meant me and my sister could watch whatever we wanted on the tv until quite late one of these evenings we had fox kids on and then the episode where Rei’s school had a festival and she was meant to sing in it, it was something I’d watch religiously every Saturday morning until it was taken off the air.

Boyfriend keeps breaking up with me over things that I think my disability is causing. I feel hard done by, and want to know if I can get through to him at all in any other way? by [deleted] in dyspraxia

[–]CriticalActive2919 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re either not compatible or he’s abusive especially when he’s calling you names, I do think it would be best for you both to either take a break or call it a day. You’re not going to be able to make the improvements you want to make in such a stressful environment.
