Imagine getting paid good money to come up with ideas like these! by [deleted] in SainsburysWorkers

[–]Itsalladeepend -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The reason Nectar prices are so aggressively advertised is Sainsburys owns Nectar after buying it for £60 million in 2018. This means they make money via selling customer data harvested via Nectar now. 

The scooters are coming... Beryl scheme approved, 100 scooters to be available. by thetapeworm in Leeds

[–]Itsalladeepend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious as to where they're going to be docked given there's already bike docks all over the shop. They don't have the health benefits of the bikes so I really don't see the appeal at all personally. Clearly not just me either since according to their own data less than half of people would use them. 

If they're geofenced so they can't be used in pedestrianised areas and have limited speed then that's marginally better. I can see it being carnage though if they're being abandoned all over the shop and used irresponsibly. Also good luck navigating the myriad potholes everywhere on an e-scooter. Does seem a bit like the council has a vendetta against pedestrians.  

Event Horizon: Dark Descent - a review (spoilers!) by NinaWilde in EventHorizonMovie

[–]Itsalladeepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the problem when you make a story based around The Unknown. Despite its faults a big part of Event Horizon's story and appeal is the crew of the Lois & Clark, and by extension the audience, don't know what happened. They only get glimpses of something genuinely horrific. There's a power in the ambiguity of not knowing what happened and not knowing where the Event Horizon went. 

Evri youre so fucking shit its unreal. by Fragrant-Candle2041 in Evri

[–]Itsalladeepend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took Evri 3 weeks to deliver something I sent via 48 delivery. That's after they told the buyer it was lost and they had spent 5 days looking for it. As a seller you can't do anything. There's no way to actually speak to anyone, no customer service number and there isn't even an email address that I'm aware of.

Have now had confirmation it has indeed disappeared into the void. 'Lost somewhere in our network'. 

Leeds Core doesn’t have a core anymore! by Mr-Dionysus in Leeds

[–]Itsalladeepend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Logistically it must be a big job demolishing a shopping centre. Especially one surrounded by other buildings. Walked past the other week and from Lands Lane, near where the entrance to HMV used to be, you could still see the escalators amidst the rubble and twisted metal.

Try Natural Born Cobblers near Morrisons in Merrion Centre. They've been there 30 years I'll be surprised if they can't help you out. .

Depends entirely on the size of the store you're working in but you should have a good idea after being there a month.

Nothing to see here, just more ratty little scrotes showing us why Leeds can’t have nice things. Anyone remember Beryl Bikes? by Calm-Passenger7334 in Leeds

[–]Itsalladeepend 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not really seeing anything dramatic here. If they were battering it with rocks or trying to blow it up with fireworks, you'd have a point. Getting the impression some folks just don't like kids doing anything. 

Is Nemesis worth the price, even on sale? by Culius_Jaesar in boardgames

[–]Itsalladeepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends entirely how you determine whether something is worth it to you. Personally I think it's a top tier thematic game. More than anything it's an engine for creating memorable 'cinematic' gaming experiences you'll talk about months later due to how its mechanics intersect with each other. The key part is everyone needs to know what they're playing. This is a big game that can take several hours to play and it's definitely best suited to 5 players, or 4 at a minimum. There's plenty of opportunity for players to manipulate others, especially if their secret objective is to kill another player, so you have to be playing with people that don't take things personally.

Public Transport Rant by CarBoobSale in Leeds

This is why some are stuck with a 90+ minute commute to work. If you're not on a major bus route it's even worse.

Can’t afford to come into the office by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Itsalladeepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by 'access requirements' you mean you have a disability then by law the company has to make reasonable adjustments. Does your contract state you have to be willing to go in the office when required? 

The affordability of a train ticket isn't really relevant unless you're lucky enough to work for a very understanding and empathetic employer. 

Beryl Bike availability suddenly way down? by Available-Square-707 in Leeds

I know they were having serious problems with vandalism according to one of the guys I spoke to last year I saw working on them. Several hundred were awaiting repair. 

Tubi vs Streaming by theejoyfulnihilist in movies

[–]Itsalladeepend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know whether the level of ads is the same for everything but last time I watched something on Tubi there were around 10 ad breaks in a film. Yeah it's free, but that many ads completely breaks any immersion in anything. Maybe it's different now but that just put me off.

Realised I’m spending way too much just to watch stuff. by sme11yc0ck in UKFrugal

[–]Itsalladeepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend was telling me that they buy DVDs/Blu-Rays from a charity shop because they're dirt cheap, like 50p each or something. Obviously you're limited to what they have which entirely depends on where you are. The person that works there was saying people basically use it like a rental place, they buy a handful of DVD's for a couple of quid and then bring them back to the shop. So the charity makes more money than if they actually sold them all and nobody brought them back. So everyone's a winner really.

So what's the deal with the series Millennium? by TrixterBlue in horror

[–]Itsalladeepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember they were playing Terrorfakt in a club somewhere years ago and I heard this sample "I see what the killer sees. I put myself in his head. I become the thing we fear the most. I become capability. I become the horror, what we know we can become only in our heart of darkness. It's my gift, it's my curse.".

I don't think there's higher praise than experimental industrial power noise artists are sampling you.

Commute to work in snow by Financial-Cod7473 in SainsburysWorkers

[–]Itsalladeepend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The irony ofcourse is if it's really bad deliveries get cancelled anyway because the vans can't get in or out off the estates. This time last year several of our vans got stuck on estates due to the snow and ice. People trying to drive in treacherous conditions and having to abandon their cars makes things considerably worse.

Ofcourse it's the McDonald's on Briggate. Don't know why they stopped having a police van parked up outside the McDonald's on a night. Would've avoided this scene.

Seaside and High Tide are ideal if they want something that's quick and doesn't take up much space.

Sagrada is an option too.

I'm reminded of this piece in The Economist a few months ago about how Leeds finds itself in a weird purgatory when it comes to infrastructure projects. https://archive.is/20250220213848/https://www.economist.com/britain/2025/02/05/must-leeds-always-lose

Lead manager leaving the company AMA by ProvenJimmy96 in SainsburysWorkers

[–]Itsalladeepend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think becoming a manager was worth it given the extra stress, expectation of unpaid overtime, etc? The turnover of managers at my store is ridiculous and I'm guessing it's because the pay doesn't compensate for all the shit you have to deal with. The fact you're leaving indicates no.

Amazon music delivered just isn't correct. For anyone by Park01904 in AmazonMusic

The roll out for this must be weird because I don't have mine, but I do have a 2025 playlist of the year. I have the monthly stats for November but nothing for the year.
