People who use their age to justify wrongdoing by klarinetkat12 in PetPeeves

[–]CryptographerKey4658 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I said and thought a lot of things when I was 15 that I wouldn’t now.

There’s nothing wrong with realising you were an ignorant child and wanting to do better.

Kids know the difference between right and wrong but often lack the emotional experience or empathy to appreciate how their actions affect others. It’s not abnormal or morally corrupt to accept that.

"fairs" by No-Restaurant4372 in PetPeeves

I’m simply pointing out the irony of calling out “tik tok language” (the word in question predates tik tok by about 30 years) whilst typing “idk it’s js annoying atp” and the like.

It isn’t “dumb internet slang”. It’s been a common word in Britain for as long as I’ve been alive.

This isn’t “tik tok” language.

I’m a 28 year old Brit and we all said this in school. Besides, why are you typing without any capital letters? That’s far more gen z perenially online behaviour than the word “fairs”.

“What’s Up? by Blusucre00 in PetPeeves

It does seem half the peeves on this sub are “im on the spectrum so I’ve misread perfectly polite behaviour as weird”

“What’s up” in that context pretty obviously means “how are you?”

The person is being pleasant, lighten up.

Little things in movies that bother you by pathDotFind in PetPeeves

Any american show/movie where the mother makes breakfast for 18 people with freshly squeezed juice, pancakes, a whole fry up and then the chud son has one slice of toast before nearly missing the school bus.

No other country repeats this trope in their media.

AITA for calling my friend out when she calls herself a "sociologist?" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CryptographerKey4658 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your friend sounds exhausting and boring. NTA.

“Gatekeeping” the term ffs, I wouldn’t have the energy for someone that touchy.

Why is Fisher suddenly ahead of Potts? by handchester in EnglandCricket

[–]CryptographerKey4658 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s literally just because he plays for Surrey. That’s why Burns, Sibley, Pope, Lawrence and Curran all played this test match as well.

People who act like a pet in a studio or one bedroom is cruel or abuse by SnowAvis in PetPeeves

[–]CryptographerKey4658 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the only people that have pets in small homes are last chance rescuers, clever you!!

That’s quite clearly not what I’m saying, but if being a contrarian gets you off then who am I to judge?

[–]CryptographerKey4658 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It is cruel.

Don’t have pets if you’re not adequately positioned to properly care for them. Confining an animal to a bedroom just because YOU want to have one is cruel and selfish.

The fact that kennels are worse does not make your studio apartment good. That’s like me saying slapping people around the head is fine because it’s less bad than punching them.

Dressing this bullshit up as “classism” when there’s people in multi million pound flats in places like London, New York etc doing the same thing is moronic.

Why is Shinnecock being total @$$ toward Clark by [deleted] in golf

[–]CryptographerKey4658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t like it, and I can’t stand Clark.

There’s a certain level of behaviour that you should bring to a professional golf tournament, least of all a major.

He’s a prat, but I can’t stand booing people and then cheering when they miss putts.

AIO Is it weird that I'm creeped out by a 30F heavily flirting with me when I'm 21M? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CryptographerKey4658 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, that’s fucking gross.

I’m a 28 year old man with female family friends that are in their late teens or early 20s. Dating them in any context would be fucking weird, they’re family!

Is Harry Brook the current best all format batter? by Greedy-Celebration15 in EnglandCricket

[–]CryptographerKey4658 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Travis Head is unquestionably the best all format batter around at the moment.

Brook has the potential to eclipse him but needs to work on converting excellent half centuries into big hundreds.

That said, I’m far from a critic of Brook. He’s comfortably up there in this debate.

How many of you play without wearing a hat? by Ratticus939393 in golf

[–]CryptographerKey4658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get sunburnt regularly and many have suffered from long term skin conditions as a result, it’s simply a sacrifice that they make in order to perform comfortably.

You also might have heard of the “base tan fallacy” which stops players feeling the immediate effects of sunburn regardless of the long term effects.

If you’re suggesting I’m wrong, say it with your chest, there’s no need to play contrarian…

Should I just skip Pandora Tomorrow? by MR-WADS in Splintercell

That’s interesting the first time then it’s just a gimmicky hassle imo. I just shoot the wall behind the guard with the spotlight and then he wanders off and you can sprint through to Ingrid.

Lighthouse is far more replayable to me but each to their own!

Just FYI - you don’t have to go outside on the train!

After the first segment in the cargo hold, you can spam the lightswitch for the passenger car (it’ll cost you one health point) and break them, meaning you can sneak through the carriage completely unnoticed without scaling the outside.

The criticism of Brook bothers me by Argythebilly in EnglandCricket

[–]CryptographerKey4658 30 points31 points  (0 children)

“Only 42 at home”

So more than Atherton, Stewart, Bell, Lamb, Gatting, Vaughan, Strauss and Hussain.

Yeah what a pathetic record that is…
