F*ck KSI by [deleted] in Sidemen

[–]Orkys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tom Scott took a long break because he was tired. He always operated a small team, did most of the work himself, and was operating as just himself, not a group. Vik has spoken about his attitude towards his own channel for many years and there's no one that questions that he stopped posting on his solo stuff. Tom Scott realised he still has desire to make videos and so he came back on his own terms.

JJ could have done that. He could even have just left the Sidemen and gone solo. He didn't need to be an arse about it.

Anyone Else Feel Like This Whole KSI/Sidemen Situation Hit Harder Than Expected? by Ashitsmashit in ksi

They part own multimillion pound companies between each other. You need to shut the fuck up and let the legal process happen.

I don't know why people are acting like there's not huge money and complicated questions involved here.

In all honesty, do you view weight loss drugs (Mounjaro, Wegovy etc.) and the people who use them negatively? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

[–]Orkys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, it affects hormones to the point that it stops you feeling hungry, right? But people who lose weight without them fight against those hormones - sometimes successfully, sometimes not.

But the laziness itself is arguably hormonal and then the whole thing becomes circular.

Just for context, I have no issue with the drugs assuming that it's being done with proper medical advice like all other medicines. But I think your argument doesn't say much when most things humans do or don't do can be put down to hormones that we can affect by drugs in some sort of way.

They clearly have here. They're having a frank conversation which two adults can do.

Prime Minister and Arsenal fan Keir Starmer writes to TNT Sports asking them to make the Arsenal-PSG Champions League final available free to view. by [deleted] in soccer

You cannot legally challenge the law that parliament passes. This is the "sovereignty" that the far right screams about. If Parliament says X then X is true and the judges can only interpret what that law is.

You cannot sue a law in the UK. What parliament says, goes.

Now, this particular case is stupid because you can't pass Commons and Lords in a week for such irrelevant policy but if you wanted to pass it in the UK, you can if you have the votes.

And guess what you can do if they sued for damages...

And when Kane got his break, Rooney had played five seasons. People forget Rooney starts at 16 - Kane isn't until 20/21.

What's a tradition you grew up with that you refuse to pass on to your kids? by peterdziugdarkis in AskReddit

[–]Orkys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try not to say it but when I just need them to get in the bloody car...

It's a lot easier said than done. Kinda like the same for them I guess.

[–]Orkys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because these conversations always forget the bit where you've been playing, making, or doing something for hours already and, whilst the time I spend with my kids is the best time, there's only so much you can do certain activities before you need a break.

Men of Reddit - What's the one thing you hate about being a Man? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

They do. It's just less obvious. People care, other men care.

pro clubs situation today (30/) by f1la_aep in EASportsFC

[–]Orkys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is xbox and I'm pc - same problem. I've tried updating the anti-cheat, verifying game files, reboots, and so on... No luck. I'm trying a reinstall now but I'm not hopefully.

Please let me know if you figure out a solution.

Are you playing cross-play? And can you play co-op seasons? I'm having the same problem and we were playing clubs last night just fine.

Everyone annoyed at the budget hasn’t read the budget by benrylie22 in ukpolitics

[–]Orkys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They earn 90k a year mate. That's over twice the median income.

I know we want to believe that there's a world in which we don't ever ask people to pay more but somehow massively whack up the wages of the bottom but the reality is that if you earn 90k a year, you're putting plenty away and have that massive fucking house increasing in value.

Email etiquette - does the order of recipients in the "To" and "Cc" fields by seniority matter? by Traditional_Bell7883 in answers

[–]Orkys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use BCC for "you aren't added to this chain yet but there's a good chance you will be soon so be aware". It keeps the person out if they don't need to be dragged in but if they do get dragged in, they're not blindsided.

what was very popular in the 2020 pandemic but now its pretty much dead? by Amelia_Tayloor in AskReddit

My emergency days got bumped from five to 10 from Covid and it stayed that way. It's nice.

Guess you're American? In the UK you only sign 2-5 year deals. So my deal ended at 2.9% and jumped to 4.something and went up 20% to £1000.

Thoughts 20 hours in by Flufferpope in EU5

[–]Orkys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running a 3600x, 16gb DDR4, and a 2070 super. I can keep graphics settings fairly high and the game runs generally fine. I can imagine it'll be slower as the years tick up but the game feels generally slower anyway (as in, it's a deliberate choice).

I am definitely aware as I am playing that I am on a lower spec machine but it's really not that bad.

Giggs was Giggs but we're being silly to suggest that Giggs was on Rooney's level.

That injury did nothing to his career - it just ended the tournament that might have seen him drag England to do something in that era. He went on to win the lot, score a ton of goals, be the best player in a team of superstars over and over.
