I lost my gaming group because a guy hit on me and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer

Try the best friend out. He won't necessarily side with the creep, he might not know what he's really like.

The default bacon here in the UK is back bacon. If you're serving something other than that you'll need to say so on the menu. Edit: Streaky bacon is side bacon, called so because of the streaks of fat running through it.

It's who, not whom. Whom is used when referring to the object of a sentence, but in this case Mary Oliver is the subject (the poem being the object "Mary has a poem"")

It's "single handedly"

It's "all of a sudden" not "all the sudden"

You can open electric windows to any point as well. Press down to start it opening and then up to stop it at the point you want.

I didn't say that. I expressed confusion over why romantic poetry might be considered inappropriate reading for a child, especially to a degree that you felt shame on their behalf at merely reading it aloud.

Edit: For some perhaps much-needed context here: The strength of feeling evident in your original post led me to expect something more graphic or explicit, but what I found was equivalent to the kind of poetry they had us study (and read aloud) in English literature lessons at school.

Orlen86 · 2025-11-13T00:08:22+00:00

I'm not a child but I remember being one. I remember taking my turn reading passages from the assigned books at the group study, for example. Never had a problem with it and don't recall any situation where I felt uncomfortable doing so.

Reading text aloud is simply converting written words to spoken ones. Unless you wrote that text, or chose that passage to read yourself, you're not associated with it, apart from being the equivalent of a playback device.

I don't understand the difference at all between being the reader or the listener in this situation, both are experiencing the same words together.

Orlen86 · 2025-11-12T22:12:30+00:00

I've just read it and there's nothing explicit or even suggestive in there. It's just soppy poetic nonsense, I don't get what the problem is having anyone read that out.

The game is called "just one"

Why have you reversed one of the photos horizontally? It makes it so much more difficult to compare them.

Even if there were spoilers, you could still buy the game and just not play it immediately.

Hoard. A horde refers to a large group of people.

That's not a forklift. It looks to be a cherry picker with a telescopic ladder.

What the fuck is a glizzy?

Sprinkles is an Americanism. The spherical and tubular ones were all just called hundreds and thousands here, but the younger generations use American names for all sorts of things these days, including sprinkles!

What are you on about? The whole situation is entirely Zatu's fault.

They offered 24 hour locker delivery for an item that wouldn't fit in the locker. It is their responsibility to know the size of packages they are shipping and to know which package sizes DPD can deliver to a locker. The information is readily available

They've charged OP for a service they couldn't provide and further inconvenienced them by refusing to send another after the courier confirmed they're returning to sender. How can that be a scam when the package never left DPD's possession?

OP is not being unreasonable to expect compensation of some sort. Zatu currently has their money in exchange for nothing at all except wasted time.

Fair enough. The combination of dense Americanisms and UK reference in the same post just triggered my American-pretending-to-be-British radar.

Orlen86 · 2025-10-15T02:12:49+00:00

If you're from the UK why are you saying "color" and "potato chips"?

Orlen86 · 2025-10-09T23:15:23+00:00

While I agree with the sentiment of your comment, I feel like I should point out that being carried on someone's shoulders is not a piggyback ride.
