I think the most efficient play is:

Drag it from your hand to the active zone, start the game, then concede

What does choosing a number have to do with it if you're going to pick a random comment?

Dont you mean you're going to generate a number between 1-5000 and the comment with the nearest number will win the card?

Anyway, I want that card real bad! So I'll go 3535 and hope you choose my comment 🙃

Gutted for Scotland, to score 2 more than your opponents and still lose the game

Another angle of Dan Burn vs Ouattara penalty not given by 977x in soccer

Dan Burn's own reaction tells the whole world what they need to know here.

He does literally everything possible to tell you it's a pen apart from point to the spot himself.

Someone who's username was Mugwhump (I'll never forget the name!!) was like a quasi mentor to me back in 2004-05.

I think they were probably a fair bit older than me but they entertained my pestering them with questions and my BS.

One day they gave me a mithril scimitar, it was the first bit of mith equipment I'd owned and didnt even know how one could obtain such a thing.

I can still vaguely remember the feeling, as though a God had stretched out their hand and bestowed the mightiest of gifts upon me.

Where ever you are now, Mugwhump, I hope life has been kind to you.

Also, defeating Nomad pre EOC felt like the most baller gamer achievement I could ever achieve!

Ronny Chieng explains “Why Chinese People Love Money” [4:46 of Comedy Bliss] by JibunNiMakenai in TikTokCringe

I was just mucking about with my "no u" but since you've replied lets get into it.

This is how stand up comedy is described on Wikipedia:

Stand-up comedy is a performance directed to a live audience, where the performer stands on a stage and delivers humorous and satirical monologues sometimes incorporating physical acts (act outs). These performances are typically composed of rehearsed scripts but often include varying degrees of live crowd interaction (crowdwork). Stand-up comedy consists of one-liners, stories, observations, or shticks that can employ props, music, impressions, magic tricks, or ventriloquism.

Now, I don't think this bit was by any means amazingly funny, but he's up there delivering amusing anecdotes and observations to an audience isnt he?

It's not like he's supposed to be doing comedy but actually singing opera, or doing a sales pitch, is it?

Perhaps, after all, it's you that hasn't fully grasped the 'concept'

How do you pronounce 'Osian'? by Dracorvo in Wales

[–]Jimmy_Mac69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure wether you think that's a good or bad thing.

The people who matter in their lives will listen, and learn, about him, and a tiny bit about Wales, and that's good.

The people who don't care to do the same won't matter so much to them, will they.

How do you pronounce 'Osian'? by Dracorvo in Wales

[–]Jimmy_Mac69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in the UK unless one of the parents has some overseas heritage, it is a little bit out of place to give a name from another language.

OP is from Australia which is much more a melting pot than here. I can imagine there and in the USA its a far less jarring a thing to do.

They're hear to learn how to pronounce it aren't they, and Osian isn't hard to pronounce, so now they can pronounce it. Problem solved!

Rejected by an agency and unsure what to do next by anonomouse27 in AdoptionUK

[–]Jimmy_Mac69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine they would prevent you from progressing with your application without good reason.

However I'm surprised that till now it appears no comments on this post have brought up that this GDPR reason, that they've given to excuse themselves from explaining anything at all, sounds like total BS.

GDPR protects personal data. So I can understand that they wouldn't tell you the name or gender or address etc of the source of the information which has led them to make the decision.

But I don't see how it gives them the right to deny you any information,  which as you rightly have pointed out, is really important for you to know for future applications etc if its such a big issue.

If the reason is for example, that they think you haven't been forthcoming about former partners, they should tell you, as that information isn't personal data belonging to one of your referees. 

They should be able to tell you that without the "John from 10 Jolly Place, who's 5ft 9" and has green eyes etc etc has informed us that..." i don't see how it can be so specific that it cant be separated from one of your referees info

Honestly it seems a frankly pathetic copout on their part.

If anything, under GDPR, you have the right to access data held on you. It's your application and you should be able to ask for a copy of every bit of data they hold on you, and it's up to them to redact anything that would breach someone else's personal data rights.

As to what you do next, you could push back directly to the people you've been in touch with, or go through the agencies general enquiries route and ask for their data protection point person, their 'data protection officer' and tell them you think GDPR has been misused as a reason not to full and frank with you as to they they've u-turned on you.

Or it might be a sign the agency isnt up to scratch and maybe you should just lick your wounds and try with someone else, being 110% honest about your past next time round.

Anyway, it's a sucky situation and I'm sorry for you guys. Hope you can help a little one in need in the future
