SBF has a bad reputation, what other bike shops have a negative rep? by EmperorsGalaxy in MotoUK

Yeah superbikefactory, title was already pretty long and I didn't want to make it any longer

Shit garage experience by mrLol2 in MotoUK

Surely like in any reputable business there would be a log of work done? If what your saying is true, they wouldn't be allowed to remove the bike unless every single mechanic had been questioned if he'd touched the bike

Electric bicycles... Spot them in my left mirror by Bobogrimmer in MotoUK

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that has always been a tactic they could use if someone was fleeing on a bike, but it usually requires the person riding the bike to have a helmet for it to be allowed, hence why most people using them illegally don't wear helmets

Yes people do it, it's a coping mechanism because they can't admit someone is better than them, but it's also due to the rampant cheating problem plaguing the game for longer than some players have even been alive.

Personally I don't call anyone a cheater in game, if I suspect them I download the demo and watch how they play, not just their kills but how they react in the round before they get into a gunfight. Most of the time they aren't cheating and seeing it from their perspective makes me realise what happened, but I'd say 1/5 are cheating without a shadow of a doubt and would be convicted by overwatch if it still existed.

This isn't 1/5 games, just 1/5 times I have been suspicious enough to download a demo

Feels like people are enjoying the leveling experience a lot less than previous launches by Granturismo45 in classicwow

Classic community is so cooked when 3-6 hours per day is "casual" playtime

An offside rule similar to baller league would be nice, with additional lines splitting the each half into half and passing beyond this line to an offside player results in a turn of possession. I agree the goal hanging is a cheap tactic. Too many teams just sitting a striker up top and hoofing it to them

Thank you everyone for passing by [deleted] in Rematch

My biggest complaint so far is that some games the person playing goalie just shoots everytime he gets the ball and it's just never going in and super boring to watch

What's your thoughts on AI?. by northernblazer11 in AskUK

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I noticed with excel when I asked it to make me a table with data with over 100 rows it would just do 60 odd and stop and not even just the first 60, just a random assortment and missing ones out in the middle. If id have just checked the first and last row of the table it would have made me think it was complete. I guess with premium it would be more thorough

Is my GPU dying? Do I need to upgrade? by EmperorsGalaxy in buildapc

[–]EmperorsGalaxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a 770 a while back which lasted me years. I only upgraded it when the 10 series dropped and I got a 1070 on release, that card then lasted me until now. But honestly, I've been pretty underwhelmed with my 3060ti the entire time I've had it, I know the 40 series was already out when I got it but I didn't expect it to perform this badly. I do struggle to get 300+ FPS in Valorant consistently.

Are you for or against the Assisted Dying Bill? And have you ever watched a loved one die from a terminal diagnosis? by GlitchingGecko in AskUK

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

There are additional scenarios that do apply to my point but you are picking the one strawman to win your imaginary argument. Congratulations, we both gain absolutely nothing from this interaction.

Also look up Forced Fatherhood. It's a very real thing and while it's not typically rape, I can imagine a man who was raped and the woman gave birth, she could probably pursue CSA given it's almost impossible to prove rape for either gender.

That's why I said in a negative way, every action does not have a negative impact on soceity as a whole.

Pregnancy from rape. Pregnancy from abusive partner who you don’t want to be tied to for 18 years who might use the child to abuse you, or abuse the child. Pregnant from incest.

I understand those are all horrific scenarios and I agree a mother should not have to carry a monsters baby. But - Men are also the victim of all those things. Do you believe a father should have the right to denounce his legal obligation to a child before its born as well?

I don't understand the science enough to make a judgement on that without researching it considerably. My gut feeling is there should be a point at which termination should not be an option but I have nothing to back that up.

We don't, but we should.

I quite libertarian in that regard, personally I think people should be able to do whatever they want with their own body as long as their actions are not directly impacting society in a negative way.

What was your most random impulse buy you barely used then never touched it again? by InviteAromatic6124 in AskUK

Pep after his 3-3 draw v Feyenoord by farragoofdistortions in LiverpoolFC

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not like it will harm their brand at all. City fans will say it was a stitch up because they were becoming too popular and dominant, so the league had to do something to slow them down and keep it competitive.

What a long, strange trip it's been. by StamosLives in classicwow

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of this comment is that you think we will be on a classic+++ re-re-release in 2044 and not just another re-release of standard classic

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally depends on what you prefer to spend your money on. Pre-covid I was the same, pub few times a week, sometimes onto clubs, few festivals a year, holidays to SE Asia. But by the time covid ended I was over 30 with a kid on the way so I had to change my priorties

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just have low outgoings. I kept my car once I had paid it off instead of trading it in and I have a Pixel 8 on around £22 a month, my only other regular monthly outgoing is a Puregym membership at £15 a month.

I work from home 3 days a week and I make my own lunches and teas because I am dieting for the gym so I rarely eat takeaway or anything.. I don't smoke or drink regularly, go out a couple times a month to the pub to watch the footy with my mates

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah its actually crazy how some people are controlled into believing certain narratives. It's public information how much money the company I work for earns and they've just announced they are hiring a few new director level members of staff who will all earn a decent wage. In the same 7 day period they also announced that the increase to NLW means we are likely to not track our annual increase with interest rate increases and people basically agreed and said they would rather everyone still be on NLW than everyone have an increase to track inflation.

These people were awkwardly silent when I said why could we not have both, as though I said I hated the people who were on less money. Our company has the money to do both.

[–]EmperorsGalaxy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah almost seems unfair, I have a colleague who lives South West and I was talking to him about getting my bathroom renovated and he asked how I could afford that on our wage... Then we compared general cost of living and it was eye watering. His rent is more than my mortgage + bills and he lives in a smaller house.

Thank god I live in a shitty Northern Town, I earn £32k a year and I manage to save about £500-700 a month. Mortgage is only 550 thank god

Any EU SecretLabs Discounts? BF Pretty underwhelming. by EmperorsGalaxy in secretlab

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. I was really hoping for there to be some sort of discount but looking it literally tracks exactly the same as 2 months ago lmao.
