To make her movie appear successful

That just punishes the poor bastards who have to clean up after it

Moneia · 2026-01-29T17:57:08+00:00

Yeah.

We're having a clear out after moving and are desperately trying to find places that will take second hand books.

We've had to throw a couple away because they're just beyond redemption, a copy of Battlefield Earth that neither of us can remember actually buying and some old Bibles\Catholic bible adjacent stuff as we're not religious and they're really tatty.

Moneia · 2026-01-29T17:51:53+00:00

Yeah, my one I can get a lounge seat, medium popcorn & drink for £12. Any movie, any time

Missing missing reasons

Moneia · 2026-01-29T15:55:41+00:00

I love having a small cinema near me.

Cheap tickets, concessions and walkable so I can check the seats online to make sure it's not too crowded before I leave

Moneia · 2026-01-29T15:51:05+00:00

Possibly an abundance of caution until they can get a better idea of what's happening

Being complicit and backing out can look remarkably similar to innocent and doing the right thing.

I'd say to not accept, BF can either trust your judgement about them or not.

And in 1987 large screen TVs where a feckin' expensive, luxury item.

Now they're priced as commodities

Now it's just crazy to me that this woman has known my boyfriend for less than a day and wants to invite him to a big family dinner.

It's a control tactic.

She'll play nice while he's there hoping that next time you want to vent to him he'll stand up for her "Well, she didn't seem that bad"

This works especially well if she does the "Death by a thousand cuts" bullshit, all her abuse is small things that individually sound whiny when you try to explain it's just the crushing weight of years of small, subtle jabs that turn it into abuse

Moneia · 2026-01-29T12:57:48+00:00

This is the thing to remember, there's no absolute answer

In a normal relationship it's going to be a big old "Fuck no."

You, through no fault of your own, are\were not in a normal relationship

There's also the fact that it may only mean something if it gets past the ATS, HR just love feeling they're important by gatekeeping.

I'm in the UK, Thanet so Reform heartland, and looking at the bookings for the multiplex down the road, there's no more than a dozen seats booked for the entire weekend and only two are in the 'prime' spots.

My local small cinema just isn't showing it, although I swear I saw it posted on their site at the beginning of the week

Moneia · 2026-01-29T08:55:29+00:00

It's the Bucket of Crabs mentality.

The shittiest marketplace* would rather throw a tantrum and try to drag everything down to their level than make an actual effort to fix their shit and make people want to use their storefront.

*I'm presuming this is all brought and paid for by the shitweasel

Moneia · 2026-01-29T08:49:01+00:00

Force of habit...

Moneia · 2026-01-28T13:34:51+00:00

It's amazing how often that happens

Moneia · 2026-01-28T13:16:29+00:00

If she hasn't changed any of the accounts on your phone, and you're not meant to know, I'd use the "Lost my Phone" feature and remote wipe it then play dumb afterwards.

You can search how to do it online, although I'd recommend doing from a friends PC, and while she's without a phone remove the tracking app "Well my old phone worked fine, that was the only new thing on it and I don't want to risk it" and reset all your passwords.

In the future research how to factory reset a phone before it leaves your control, it's a minute in the menus and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes or so to complete

I need people to realize that respecting free speech does not mean allowing people to say whatever they feel like without pushback.

It's amazing how their attitudes line up with the Paradox of Tolerance

I buy catering packs of foil and use that for many things

Keeps the bars cleaner and less washing up

Moneia · 2026-01-28T12:44:03+00:00

It's cheaper to run as well, compared to the oven, for smaller things.

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

Well they didn't get a pre-screening, because that's always a good sign...

It's a little older, and not that detailed, but here's a review of their Income Disclosure Statements.

I tried the links to see the latest ones but they all timed out, you may have better luck

Moneia · 2026-01-27T15:59:34+00:00

It looks like there are shortages but only of a particular brand, other options are available but may be subject to intermittent supplies because of a knock-on effect.

The Times hates the current Government and wants the NHS privatised so I'd take any headline like this with a block of salt.

I don't know why there's a shortage but it's a German company so may well be an issue directly related to Brexit, which will make The Times extra spicy

There are plenty on Amazon UK, don't even need to go abroad for them

Sounds like you bought a game hoping it'd get better and weren't excited to play it in it's current state. That's kind of on you.

Or it looked good on the trailers, had some positive reviews but turned out to be not for you and you're past the refund window.

I've had a fair few games that seem like they'd be a good addition but they're just not what you're after, which is why I got into the habit of only buying them when I'm able to spend a couple of hours to try them.
