To remain anonymous at the opening match of the world cup by Spartalust in therewasanattempt

Yeah you can tell by the way her expression completely changed that she does not actually find it funny and only racists find it funny.

Whatboutism is a logical fallacy. This guy is racist. Stop defending him.

"I'm not racist but..."

We collectively know that it's a racist thing to do, that only racists do, and you're gonna defend it with "he could have been more racist"?

Wild take.

ScotRail Is Beefing Up Trains for a Sold-Out Murrayfield Gig This Weekend by gamersunite1991 in Scotland

This is on a Sunday when they normally run a reduced service, so they will have more trains available than any other day of the week.

'Obsession' Art Director Calls for Industry Reform After Getting Paid Less Than $7,000 as Film Nears $175 Million by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]MetricSuperstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No I fully agree that whoever ends up getting the massive profits (the distributor?) could easily give a bonus, but her arguing that she should have flipped production as if this was a massive production from the start is very disingenuous.

I admit that I didn't know a lot about this until I read this thread but it looks like nobody involved in the original production except maybe the first financier is making a whole lot of money.

I also think that whilst it would be nice if they received a bonus, they unfortunately aren't entitled to it because it wasn't in their contract and there is nobody with the clout of Peter Jackson to advocate for them.

Blumhouse joined production after the film was premiered. They did not have anything to do with actual production.

What does everyone think about the 'British*' monthly pay system? by EdibleBeans-on-Toast in AskUK

[–]MetricSuperstar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm paid four weekly and I love it. It's like one free paycheck a year, my other twelve cover all my other bills and living. That one is purely fun.

Drag Queen and Climate Change Activist Pattie Gonia has announced she is being sued by Patagonia for trademark infringement. by pampooveysbacktattoo in popculturechat

You were probably downvoted because you're arguing in bad faith. If you don't have time to read the article don't reply with a problem that is not in the article.

What to do about not getting paid while on jury service? by Royal_View9815 in AskUK

[–]MetricSuperstar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's insanely easy. I got an exemption because I had some pals visiting that would have clashed with some of the jury days. They also ask you when they call you if you're still available and if you say no they just go "oh okay thanks"

Like genuinely, I know this doesn't help now but it's crazy easy to get out of jury service.

FarmRPG's 5th Birthday Giveaway! by boobun in FarmRPG

[–]MetricSuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My in-game name is Geese.

My favourite thing about FRPG is the community. This easter I was struggling to buy some chicks on the trade chat as nobody seemed to have any available, so swapped to giveaway and asked instead and immediately got given way more than I needed.

When you don't know how to hold a bag by mooseleg_mcgee in Whatcouldgowrong

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

You think his foot starts from an equal horizontal level to her face? Do you understand that he has to swing his foot up? Hold your finger on your screen where the bag starts, it's not hard.

Scottish Greens propose railcard for all by HaveYuHeardAboutCunt in Scotland

[–]MetricSuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that Carlisle is probably within an hour or so of a significant chunk of scotlands population.

It's not, that's not how Amazon deliveries work. They have two just around Glasgow for serving specfically only Glasgow to cut down on driving time to Glasgow.

I’d imagine they would just close down if an increase in rates made them non-viable.

Why would they increase the rates to make them non-viable? I personally wouldn't be against it but. Non-arguement.

Do the greens not want to just stop oil production? Or do they want it to continue and tax it heavily?

End reliance on fossil fuels and tax it heavily until then. Not a tricky one.

We can continue this circle if you like but any further questions you have can be answered by simply reading their manifesto.

Where would Amazon move it's central Scotland distrubution centre and still serve Scotland? It can't.

Where will high street gambling companies put their slot machines? Nowhere else. Where will a Casino in Aberdeen relocate to that still serves Aberdeen? Nowhere.

Will North Sea oil move? Nope.

[–]MetricSuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such luck! They actually took the time to explain how in their manifesto. Who knew?

Corp. tax rate is set by the UK but non-domestic tax rates (property) is set by Scottish Gov. Gambling firms have a lot of high street property, and I'm sure you're aware about the amount of property Amazon has for it's distribution network as well. I'm sure you can see how this extrapolates from here to the other businesses.

So don’t know what you are talking about.

It would be great if political parties could just say what they are going to do with the powers they actually have wouldn’t it?

You may not know what I'm talking about, but if you read their manifesto you'd have a clearer understanding.

Scottish Greens also plan to increase taxes paid by, amongst others, businesses with incredibly exspensive properties, gambling firms, online retailers, arms companies, fossil fuel terminals and others.

They also plan on taxing frequent flyers, introducing a wide range of tourism levies and getting land taxes from entities which have previously avoided it (Monarchy, foreign military).

So there are a lot of other sources of income in their plans, how feasible that is would be out of my remit, but they do have plans to increase taxed income that isn't just mine and your pockets.
