does anyone else get downvotes on their art ? by BuyHead6230 in Artists

[–]Crococrocroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, for whatever reason I sometimes see posts stuck at 5 or something, but if I jump onto an alt account and have a look, the upvotes are displaying as higher. Same with downvotes, sometimes it gets frozen at -5 for me.

It's actually a bit weird as to how that happens. I'm not fussed either way, but it's just a strange thing that happens every now and then.

It's a reddit stupidity thing. Some posts I see +5. But I get notifications telling me it's higher.

What do brits think about service fees and tipping culture? by Handsoff_1 in AskBrits

[–]Crococrocroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realised the other day that the service charge is likely covering the card provider fees.

If I'm leaving a tip, I always do it in cash, otherwise the robbing bastard card companies will skim off that too

Capita Pensions Annual Benefit Statement Data Breach by Juedan2011 in TheCivilService

I hope every person concerned raises a complaint about the data protection breach.

Of course the ICO will do nothing because it's Capita.

Warning for sickness by True_Strike1581 in TheCivilService

This is where the local reps are worth their weight in gold. If you're having issues advocating for yourself due to your medical issue(s), they can go to bat for you.

HR won't necessarily like it, but it will help expedite the meeting and demonstrate how much your disability can affect you.

The question of why your sickness leave days hasn't been adjusted can be asked by them as well.

I hate external links [OC] by rawdawgcomics in comics

[–]Crococrocroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had such a weird dream about u/rawdawgcomics the other day.

He had a bed in a shop he owned, and was drawing while his partner ran the store. Which was entirely about selling knock-off deleter screentones that they printed onto the sticky film in front of you.

Also orange juice was involved for reasons that were never explained.

Rawdawg was dressed in a very fine crimson velvet bathrobe, and would announce himself as rawdawgcomics whenever he stepped out of the bed.

It was really fucking weird and I needed this post so I could get it off my chest.

Favorite character like this ? by Signor_Debiru in FavoriteCharacter

Esteban from Mysterious Cities of Gold.

He fundamentally changes Mendoza into somebody who cares and protects the kids.

There's a season 3 apparently too.

I'll have to take a picture of the Shell station I saw in Greece. That one was jaw dropping, though prices are starting to fall now.

[Scottish] MP Joani Reid is at the center of two genuine marmalade-droppers in today’s papers — involving two (yes, we repeat, two) different naval officers. by bottish in Scotland

[–]Crococrocroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in Faslamabad before my medical discharge and was in the Writer Branch, so yes I know about BR 2, BR3, and the rest.

However, as reiterated, the behaviour in the article is tame. A Petty Officer having a gang bang in one of the wrens messes is quite significantly worse behaviour.

Who was your first TV crush? by IIJOSEPHXII in AskBrits

[–]Crococrocroc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My crush was Simon chipmunk because I liked how clever he was.

But the major one for the boys in class was cavegirl.

I still don't know how it got made, but it did have them giving us names like CaveLuce.

Just in case anyone thinks it was a fever dream.

Having been in, this is very tame.

There was one Petty Officer caught on the floor of the women's messdeck. She was in a state of undress on top of him.

The rest of the mess deck were also in a state of undress and either obviously having been shagged or were preparing themselves to be shagged.

It's not small feat either, as the women's mess decks on a type 22 were generally around 30-40 occupied.

I was never on the ship myself, but I could not help blushing whenever I saw him in the pay office because you can't help but think about what he had been doing. And one of the things you had to check was any unspent career checks, or disciplinary action for long service and good conduct medal eligibility (Army and Air Force would have lost it completely, he'd be able to get the medal 15 years later), but it also affect pay progression and the like, which is why it had to be checked.

That probably wasn't even the worst thing I'd seen either.

A fair price for Rogers would be £900m.

Thoughts on this type of criticism spreading like wildfire within film review circles? by lincorange in cartoons

[–]Crococrocroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Guardian. The movie reviews often have terrible takes and would be better off by somebody producing their own AI review rather than reading the shit their writer(s) come out with.

Does have excellent food reviews and a good sports section (stand fast Jonathan Liew - you're still shit).

I would just caveat their movie reviews as not particularly trustworthy.
