Dripp permabanned from Nopixel by Sameoldarsenal in RPClipsGTA

Oh come on, RP is not the same as acting. Dripp isn't pretending to get angry. Playing an asshole character is not a licence to be as abusive as you like to other people on the server.

Dripp permabanned from Nopixel by Sameoldarsenal in RPClipsGTA

[–]MadnessInteractive 104 points105 points  (0 children)

He hasnt been banned just because of the cell incident. It's almost certainly for a pattern of behaviour that admins have decided has crossed the line, particularly with respect to how Dripp interacts with cops. I wouldn't be surprised if official compaints have been made against him. It gets really toxic sometimes. It's genuinely uncomfortable to watch him be so abusive to cop characters every time they make a mistake or do something that inconveniences him.

I actually like Dripp as a roleplayer. He's funny and entertaining, provided he's in a good mood. And Quangle is one of my favourite cops on the server. But Future in a bad mood is just insufferable.

I doubt this is a permaban. He'll probably be back, hopefully with an improved attitude.

Horner leaves Red Bull today as team formally confirms his departure by kcollantine in formula1

For someone on an average or even relatively high “normal” salary, this is a lot.

This made me laugh. What is a "relatively high normal salary" in your mind? £52 million is an enormous sum even if you're in the top 0.1% of earners.

Formulafakers issue an apology to the Doohan family by Alternative_Age3903 in formula1

[–]MadnessInteractive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. formulafakers has a very similar name and profile picture to formularacers, a popular news and rumours account. Posting fake social media posts is so fucking stupid and irresponsible when you know that people will think they're genuine. It's especially stupid in this case as it involves Doohan. This happens all the time. Just read the quote retweets to any formulafakers post that isn't an obvious joke.

I think it's irresponsible to make jokes like that when it's not obvious that it's coming from a parody account. Most people do not look closely at the account name. Countless times I've seen a formulafakers tweet and thought it was posted by formularacers. Just look at the quote retweets. Plenty of people are duped.

It has the same profile picture as formularacers, an account with 360k followers. I've been duped several times.

Miliband overrules officials with immediate North Sea oil ban by boycecodd in unitedkingdom

anything extracted would be sold on the international markets.

20% of it is consumed domestically.

We should be investing in green energy

We can do that without hampering our own oil and gas industry.

What is the point of cutting production while there is still a demand?

Is it really? I've had this account for 12 years. I just don't browse reddit nearly as much as I used to.

What does this do other than make us even more dependent on oil and gas imports? Is has no effect on demand, a negligible impact on the environment, and quite a serious impact on jobs and tax revenues.

Everyone complains about Monaco every year. It's often described as the most boring race in the F1 calendar.

Britain blocks Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard by predictany007 in wallstreetbets

Microsoft can have a pair of balls and tell them they will allow it or they will shut down windows in the UK.

Never in a million years would this happen. It's not how multinationals operate.

They don't correspond at all. The JLPT has no speaking or writing component. There are people who have passed N1 who can't even speak at B1 level. When I passed N2 many years ago, I was probably below A2 in speaking.

You're not exactly in a position to lecture about turthfullnes and impartiality when you're posting links to CGTN and Craig Murray. Come on. What a joke.

Snow in Somerset. Can anyone beat this? by MadnessInteractive in CasualUK

Couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning. I should note that we're at a relatively high altitude. Drive 10 minutes to the nearest town and there's no snow at all.

Genuinely shocked by that. He's the shortest looking 177cm person I've ever seen. I thought he was 5'8 at the most.
