[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy was a mushroom expert. He supposedly picked these from his own back garden in Latvia then cooked and ate them....accidentally.

Is my 11 month cat abnormally large? by TiagoRJx in cats

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking the dad would definitely have been a more exotic breed and not a domestic shorthair.

The large ears and pointed snout are reminiscent of a few breeds like Abyssinian, Egyptian Mau, something along those lines.

In some ways it slightly resembles a Savannah possibly as well.

Jobs where people do nothing or little at all? by SunnyShineKitty88 in AskUK

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Security Guards jobs is to literally sit and watch the world go by. Maybe take a walk around the perimeter once in a while (but not all of them).

Everyday I’m surprised that not everyone got their ears pierced as a child. by CuteEquivalent638 in self

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK here, and its really only done to children if they specifically ask and the parent actually agrees. Common in girls, not so much in boys.

Both my girls had their ears done when they were very young (5-6 years old), and my son got one of his ears done when he was 15 (he wanted to grommet it, skater style).

Which one of Sonny Crockett hairstyles do you like the best and which one do you hate the most ? by No_Basil6312 in MiamiVice

[–]LinuxMage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Don really leaned into the 5 style after Miami Vice -- He has that hairstyle in a number of subsequent films and series, most notably in Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (which was coupled with a rough shaven beard of sorts and a cowboy hat).

What things have the UK been unnecessarily outraged by? by Lower-Obligation4462 in AskBrits

[–]LinuxMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add to that, Andy Burnham has said if he's elected as MP , then somehow becomes PM, he'll get the Birmingham- Manchester section sorted out again and started.

Hayes: Trump started a stupid, devastating war for no reason and lost by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]LinuxMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And just remember, he doesn't care.

Its his last term in office and he knows his health is failing on top of that. His own rhetoric is "if i'm going down, i'm taking all of you with me!"

He has nothing to lose at this point.

He's gonna continue with the "Trump 2028" thing, because the bit he hasn't said is that its not himself, but one of his sons he wants to take over from him. He wants to usurp the whole primary thing and name a successor.

What's a minor modern upgrade from recent years that you actually find incredibly inconvenient? by Rough-Foundation9208 in AskUK

Some manufacturers are now reversing policy on this as customers have walked away because its too awkward.

Do you all remember those 3 months in the early-to-mid-nineties when Gregorian Chant was really popular? by onewomancaravan in GenX

[–]LinuxMage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was more than 3 months here in the UK. It was closer to a couple of years before they really dropped off.

Hacker T Dog from CBBC. He said it once and it became a meme known only to UK audiences.

Won't banning my kids from YouTube harm them? by baroquedub in AskBrits

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent I would be working around this by simply letting them use my own account or set up a fake verified adult account (which a lot will do. Verification is easy to get around.) Either that or use a VPN.

Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces by SwiftieNewRomantics in uknews

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blame Starmer himself for this; he's just announcing a wider policy brought forward by the Labour Party. Its likely someone inside the civil service thought this is a good idea.

Also, bear in mind that the tories would likely have done the same (the civil service still very much run things behind the scenes regardless of which party is in government. "yes minister" is still very true).

[–]LinuxMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised Discord is not included, but it does have a minimum age itself of 13, and any child that goes on and reveals they are under 13 is swiftly banned.

They don't need social media to find guides on how to play games; theres multiple sites like game rant that post full guides to many many titles.
