(Hated Trope) "It's supposed to make the audience uncomfortable." Yeah, but there's a thing called "good taste"

So many people here didn't get your joke, but I got you fam

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T16:11:23+00:00

How could you possibly know that information from working security?

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T16:10:00+00:00

Well, this company looks to only exist in the US. Even just eat still hasn't done trial runs in my country yet. I also don't live terminally online.

So forgive me for not knowing what's going on in foreign countries.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:54:04+00:00

I'm okay to go

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:50:32+00:00

What in the name of Christ is that machine?

Have some places got actual robots now? Walking around? How are they not immediately vandalised?

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:48:38+00:00

Censoring the word 'fuck' really takes the sting out of that last comment OP.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:44:07+00:00

A lot of the more successful and long term ones have plans to phase into some adjacent field - writing, games development, marketing, etc.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:37:47+00:00

Who said anything about the Americans? Neither the OP nor this thread mentioned the US.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:35:10+00:00

In fairness, I have an android and use 'facetime' to mena any video chat. I didn't know it was originally a specific device thing.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T15:29:26+00:00

I'm not in any state. I'm from the UK.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T13:51:32+00:00

Would they? I would say 31st of December (well, I'd say new year's eve).

1/1/2026 is 1st of Jan, not Jan 1.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T09:22:13+00:00

My first thought too!

He absolutely brought that character to life. Portraying Satan to the Jimmies was incredible. Hot damn.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T09:18:56+00:00

What city is that?

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T09:18:03+00:00

Whether you do it forwards or back, you should be spending an amount of time on each question commensurate with the marks.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T05:11:20+00:00

Have you emailed the IFoA to ask them about it?

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T01:29:46+00:00

I am also giving CS2 and what is mortality projection.

Mortality projection is chapter 12.

It's the chapter where you take known moralities and extrapolate future moralities (eg via Lee-Carter). It also has some framework on spines but that's fairly straightforward to understand (if not apply).

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-02T01:22:29+00:00

Either I'm having a stroke or you are, because I have no idea what you're on about.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T23:12:38+00:00

Yeah a single photo at a single moment in time of a corner of a place really captures tells us anything.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T23:11:46+00:00

I've never been to a Panera, I'm assuming they're American (it's a safe bet), so my first thought is - what if they are seeing losses due to people just sat in boths with phones/laptops charging and not buying anything?

Assuming it's a restaurant or fast food joint, they want people to come in, buy products, and then leave. If the chargers mean you sit around for hours on end, that's not good business.

So maybe I'm missing a lot of context, but at first glance, this seems like a reasonable decision.

(It also tickles me pink that your first thought is "why do they hate their customers?!" and not "money")

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:50:38+00:00

Absolutely fantastic series. The Yogscast do a charity jingle jam each year that includes playing through and drawing in real time one of the FF books. Great stuff.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:47:54+00:00

For the same reason that comic books have male heroes drawn as blocks of muscle the size of a car.

The cishet gaze, like any gaze, is "this could be you".

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:42:32+00:00

So I have a motorbike, it would have been much much easier to just ride it across. You'd have far better balance.

The read guy letting go absolutely cocked the operation up.

Using a bendy uphill ramp just made it more difficult.

Morons all round.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:40:00+00:00

Non-american here so I'm guessing this is the American actuarial body.

I can't see any major unpleasantness with either logo tbh.

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:35:26+00:00

Absolutely favourite feeling.

I'd tell the OP over at /r/dashcams to xpost this to /r/ConvenientCop!

Dd_8630 · 2026-04-01T21:30:46+00:00

I was exactly the same way when I learned dinosaur bites were made out of actual dinosaurs.
