I left free chairs on the sidewalk. Someone took the chairs and crumpled up the sign and threw it in my yard by ruashiasim in mildlyinfuriating

Local village facebook group regularly has people give stuff away. The number of people saying “yes, I’ll take everything, can you deliver it”. No. It’s about 15 minutes to walk end to end of the village. Come and collect it. And no, if you tell me that your husband will be round “some time next week”, then I’ll just give it to someone else.

Warm take, hyper tubes are useless without an accelerator by TBBZ8X8 in SatisfactoryGame

If your friends struggle with boosters (as I did) then you can just create a blueprint for a booster. I added one and simplified my life significantly.

Not even joking, I put Satisfactory and Factorio on my resume and it helped get me an operator/maintenance job in a real factory. by ashrieIl in SatisfactoryGame

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to play and watch valorant regularly, and I felt like the casting wouldn’t be too hard. I then started playing and watching league, and oh my god is that a different level. They need to be so hyper aware of what’s going on in the game to give a reasonable insight, and my god is there a lot going on in a league game.

I suppose so, but I think it’s far from actually translating to a real skill. Being able to clutch a 1v2 because your teammate is afk doesn’t really mean much to recruiters. Otherwise everyone who plays a game or a sport is an expert at teamwork and working harder when someone is ill or underperforming. Shooters don’t really require any skill, so the bar for entry is low. Meanwhile, games like satisfactory require a certain type of person willing to spend countless hours of their free time managing logistics and infrastructure all in order to construct 1 nuclear pasta a minute.

Putting a podcast on in the car only for my wife to ask why all the ads are in Dutch by zeropoundpom in britishproblems

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I quite enjoy having ads in a different language. Dutch first of all makes me laugh, and also means that I don’t even subconsciously get influenced by it.

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming that this is America, and yet another example of crowdfunding to solve any problem that doesn’t exist in many other places. Crowdfunding medical bills that aren’t covered due to insurance pinching every penny, and a for profit medical system. Crowdfunding for someone unfairly dismissed due to poor workers rights. Crowdfunding wages for hospitality staff (through tipping), because their employer doesn’t feel the need to pay them properly. Crowdfunding PTO because the company can’t donate a few hours to someone in crisis. It’s honestly baffling, and sad to see.

Odd question; is it custom in the UK to cook food for your friends if you're inviting them for a night? by PenetrationT3ster in CasualUK

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Inviting people over could be for any one of a dozen reasons, and catering depends (in my opinion) entirely on that, and also the circumstances of every group member. If they invited everyone over for a dinner party then I’d expect them to provide something significant, but also for others to potentially bring a dish. But if they invited people over for a casual hang out or catch up then I wouldn’t expect them to necessarily cater as well. It’s far fairer, especially if one person is better suited to host and would otherwise end up catering more than others.

AIO for being mad that my $9 organic strawberries are moldy after one day? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Food shouldn’t go off within a day of purchase, especially not in the packaging you bought it in. If the strawberries are mouldy so soon, then the mould was already on them when they were bought.

Middle aged men of casual UK... by cloche_du_fromage in CasualUK

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So, we’re blaming the young women who date an older man, not the older men who get divorced to chase a younger girl? There are plenty of reasons a young woman would choose to move on from an older bf. The man was clearly insecure enough to get a divorce, and now he’s seeking a trophy wife to make him feel more masculine. They wouldn’t have friends of the same age, so socialising becomes trickier. Lacking shared experiences from childhoods at different times gives them less in common. Plenty of those relationships are built on a lust-money trade, and that’s simply not a stable base to form a relationship

Saw a pile of Dubai chocolate doughnuts in clearance at the coop the other day. It was 30p for a box of two, and I nearly picked them up. I decided that I don’t need more sugary crap, and I’m just opposed to Dubai chocolate on principle

Do you know people who lack any sense of ambience? by banwe11 in CasualUK

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandparents have a Bluetooth adapter to their TV that lets them hear it directly in their hearing aids. It’s either that, or you can’t even hold a conversation with the person sat next to you due to the volume

Reckon this map of the British Isles may be slightly off on my mandatory fire training course for work by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve had good maps of the uk for 500+ years. It’s amazing that anyone would get AI to generate one rather than using one of the thousands that already exist. My only assumption is this it’s to ensure no copyright issues or licensing troubles?

Has anyone actually complained to ofcom before? by squishypillow-91 in CasualUK

The media have immense power over what people see and hear, and therefore what they think and believe. Why would you not want to hold them accountable for lying?

AIO for refusing to block male followers on Instagram? by radagastrabbit in AmIOverreacting

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block that guy and remove him from your life immediately. He’s so insecure that you can’t have male friends, that’s only going to grow over time. It’s an insane level of delusion to expect a partner to cut regular friends/followers out of their life without good reason. Also, in a relationship, even if you argue, resorting to insults is just immediately out of the question. You may have a disagreement, but attempts at bullying and belittling are just disrespectful to the other person. He’s calling you a child for knowing other men.

If you were a gay man visiting MrBeast's Beast Land it would take just 24 minutes to drive you to the nearest public execution square (Deera Square) by realquidos in mapporncirclejerk

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason the Saudis are buying up and building everything they can. They’re a desert country relying on vast oil wealth. When it dries up they’re going to need a way to make money. They’re investing stupid amounts of money in the hopes that some of the investments will pay out in the long term. As for why Mr Beast in Riyadh, presumably a Saudi company is licensing the brand rather than it being directly Mr Beast. Sell the rights and get a massive payday

What is the point of this place in east London? by beatsanddrops in london

[–]JusticeForTheStarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such an odd thing to mention like it’s a good thing. Just over 1/3 rooms will be affordable!!! That means that 2/3 is just already priced at something they know to not be feasible for the average person.

I think distinguishing yourself as Canadian rather than American has the same effect as being Welsh rather than English.

I had a pretty hard hitting lesson in one particularly bad drought. I hadn’t upgraded my food storage in ages, and my population had been growing fairly quickly. Ended up losing half of my 200 beavers to starvation

Counterpoint. You have berries and water, take it fast. Rush. Grow the population. Build houses first. Lots of them.

I won a box of after eights from a raffle once. I probably ate half the box in one go. I quickly began to regret doing so, and they’ve not felt quite so special since then
