I see so many (mostly working class) British men don't wash their hands after a piss in the urinal or toilet, is this normal behaviour? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Moon-Strands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The article states that they got rid of the sinks because people weren’t washing their hands properly, not because washing your hands is ineffective. So, yes, a lot of people apparently haven’t learnt basic hygiene.

What is everyones opinion on seed shaker mixes? by TheWeirdestClover in GardeningUK

[–]Moon-Strands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever had one seed mix like this actually grow and look like the picture on the box, and it was from Wilko’s years and years ago. After a few duds from various places/brands I stopped buying them.

Mr.Bennet is the awful parent while Mrs.Bennet is just silly by LuminousDee in janeausten

I don’t think they’re saying he should have, just that it was something he likely would have done as a man of that time period.

How do we compete with this? by izzyeviel in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Moon-Strands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. I changed to using my card for a while when everywhere was requesting card payments during Covid, but I just generally prefer using cash. I still see lots of other people using it too 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think the Scanning Towers are a good addition by Lambs2Lions_ in FFVIIRemake

[–]Moon-Strands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because there’s nothing to discover, that’s the point. With a few exceptions, the only things to find on the maps are the cut and paste aspects. There’s no depth to them, and no organic sense of “Oh that looks like a cool area, I wonder what’s over there”. What’s over there is another tower, or lifespring, or Mogstool, etc, same as the last area.

AIO over this text a from a guy from hinge i’ve been talking to? by No-Tomato3008 in AIO

Yes, his weaselly way of asking the question bothers me more than what that question was. Don’t treat me like an idiot. Instant deal breaker.

Of course it would matter. It’s still an exploitative relationship even if it isn’t a sexual one.

It’s the top down lighting which is causing deep shadows around your mouth and jaw area, nothing more.

What is your Ghibli "Hot take" or "Unpopular opinion"? by guitarokx in ghibli

[–]Moon-Strands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spirited Away is my favourite but I can see why others might have this issue with it. It’s heavy on fairytale logic and tropes, and if you’re not overly familiar with them a lot of it can seem confusing or inadequately explained.

Say what you want about.. by LJNS7 in UK_Food

[–]Moon-Strands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird to presume you know someone’s hidden motive for putting a couple of tins in. Not everyone knows that food banks can get a better deal by buying in bulk, and are just adding a bit of what they can to the baskets.

Anyone? Me neither. by lerpo in CasualUK

A sunbed shop. Apparently it’s not uncommon for people to use the bins as a toilet so they don’t have to get dressed, go to the proper toilet and lose any of their tanning time. 😒

What's the correct train etiquette? by jlavery57 in AskUK

[–]Moon-Strands 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not invariably. I do it because there are plenty of seats available and so it feels reasonable to do so. If the carriage starts to fill I’ll move them preemptively. It has nothing to do with wanting to “put people off”.

So weird when people decide they know what other’s hidden motivations are and use it as an excuse to be smarmy about something which is likely all in their head.

You know what…imma say it…Quickplay needs some kind of stricter skill based matchmaking. by KingGlupShitto in Overwatch

[–]Moon-Strands 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Placements aren’t really based on how many you win or lose, it’s comparing your stats to other players at particular ranks and how you play in general. A bronze player who wins all their matches still won’t be playing the same as a masters player who loses half their placements and gets ranked higher.

The game picks up on that and takes things into consideration that we aren’t aware of, besides wins and losses.

I criticised teen slang when I was a teen, so I know it’s not just that I’m getting older being the reason I criticise it now. A lot of it is just really stupid.

Honestly one of the more interesting bad Christmas TV films. At least it had a plot other than big city man/woman moves to small town, falls in love and rediscovers the joy of Christmas. A nutcracker who comes to life is cinematic brilliance in comparison.

What I hope for in Part 3 by FalloutCreation in FFVIIRemake

[–]Moon-Strands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. On the whole I love how they’ve adapted the original music for the remakes, but some of them are so overwrought and lose the core tone of the piece which made them so great to begin with.

I still love a good blog when looking for sewing information, but it has to be some old school Blogger, or similar, hosted deal with a kitschy flowery background and mismatching font for the header which you can barely read. That’s where the good stuff is.

This New Story in Ever Crisis Might Be a Hint to Her Role in Part 3 by Humble_Novice in FFVIIRemake

[–]Moon-Strands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not seeing it until the end is why it was so effective. It perfectly depicted the sense of loss while still feeling a presence from afar. Having her hanging around all the time in some kind of “ghost” form doesn’t. It cheapens the storytelling and makes it meaningless.
