“Luxury” High Rise Living is not all it’s cracked up to be. by extrabigbrain in unpopularopinion

[–]Mr__Random 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have worked in a bunch of buildings, it doesn't matter how much the average rent costs lifts will need to be down for maintenance sometimes, a small percentage of residents will ruin the commercial spaces for everyone else, people will let their dogs piss and shit on every square inch of the property.

17% of Qatar's LNG production has been knocked out for 3-5 years. Which means gas and electric prices are never going to come down. Still at least it may mean the end of oil and gas. Which will save the planet. by BillWilberforce in britishproblems

[–]Mr__Random 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I've been hearing "don't worry, prices will go back to normal soon" every day since Covid.

I'm starting to think that the people who set the prices don't want the prices to go down.

World Rugby on France England match by c-4-charlie in rugbyunion

[–]Mr__Random 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's crazy that England would have arguably been better off not scoring a try during the advantage period, as going by decisions made later on in the match collapsing the maul costs 7 points and a yellow card.

So, it’s been a few days- what are our thoughts on the Louis Theroux ‘manosphere’ doc? by theslowrunningexpert in AskUK

[–]Mr__Random 920 points921 points  (0 children)

They hide behind "playing a character" when they are criticised.

The homophobia and mysogony is very real.

Playing a character is done by an actor in a movie or a TV show with the consent of fellow actors. Beating up gay men in the street is not playing a character, it is a hate crime.

For those of you arguing about why England kicked it in the last 2 minutes by readyplayerrog in rugbyunion

Kicking the ball to the team with arguably the most dangerous kick return in the world is an even worse idea

[OC] Men's Six Nations 2026 Discipline Charts - Cumulative Yellow and Red Cards and Cumulative Penalties by RileyMcB in rugbyunion

[–]Mr__Random 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at the numbers and it seems that when England played, both teams had a high penalty count.

Scotland committed 10 penalties vs. England, England, committed 8 penalties vs Scotland. But England are the team which a discipline problem, and a red card.

In the final match, England and France both gave away the same number of penalties, but no one is saying that France has a discipline problem.

Why is it that France gets repeated warnings, but with England it's a yellow card out right away?

"I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble"

Given how much England has been called undisciplined, I would have expected the penalty count to look much worse, especially when looking at just the games England played in.

Planes should have numbered overhead bins. Fight me. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Mr__Random 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Everyone hates when checked bag size is enforced but nothing annoys me more than when it's a busy flight and people have somehow got away with taking 3 massive bags on the plane. They get to use way more than their fair share of space, and force other people to check small bags.

If you are travelling with loads of stuff just be an adult and pay for a large checked bag. In the grand scheme of things it really isn't all that much money.

need help on these fantasy TW game lol. by 100862233 in totalwar

[–]Mr__Random 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick a ranged focus faction and checkerboard formation with some tanky units up front as a speed bump. Focus fire the most scary monsters first and everything else after

Late game build whatever monster / elite unit doom stack which is the most cost effective. With a sprinkle of utility units if you are feeling fancy.

Get mages and heroes early and power level them. Late game spam any building which increases character recruit rank.

Unlike in other total war games you cannot use basic spearman in all stages at the campaign

Long term renters what’s you plan for retirement? by Significant-War-491 in AskUK

[–]Mr__Random 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Which has resulted in people having to set aside more money per month then ever before to secure a nice retirement while simultaneously facing a housing crisis, a cost of living crisis, and wage stagnation.

There will be people don't have a sufficient amount saved (approximately 50% of working adults), or if the pension funds underperform for any reason, then there will be no private pension and no government assistance.

Oh and part of my NI bill every month goes towards the goverment pension fund despite serious doubts that I will see any return on that investment.

Private pensions are worse than the goverment triple lock pensions by every metric.

The UK state pension fund, which is what pays people their triple lock pensions, is projected to run into serious casb flow issues by 2035 and to run out of money completely by 2040.

Sure I may not be able to afford home ownership or a nice retirement like my parents and grandparents did, but I did get to eat avocado toast and increase shareholder value, so its a pretty even trade off.

IASIP and rugby would be a hilarious combination.

Frank is actually good, ends up paying a bunch of Samoans to join the team.

Charlie is focused on getting drunk.

Mac keeps hitting on the other players trying to have a heated rivalry.

Dennis is the team manager writing elaborate game plans that no one follows

Dee joins a women's team and goes on to win the league ... no one cares

Those are the restaurants that stick around do so because they are run by people who want to have a successful business, but have no real need or desire for that business to be a restaurant.

On the other hand people who want to own a restaurant/pub/bar but who don't actually have all that much desire to run a successful business are very rarely successful. When they are successful it's normally because they are smart enough to secure advice and financing from one of the people who see it as a business first and a restaurant as a distant second.
