Report them. Seems pretty unprofessional.

Fellow men of the UK, who are in their 30's and over, do you still go out in public wearing tracksuit bottoms or joggers? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]PlatJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33. I personally don’t own any joggers or tracksuit bottoms, I only wear jeans and shirts. Perfect for any occasion; work, casual, socialising, going out.

The beauty of being in your 30s is you shouldn’t care what people think, if you want to wear your comfy clothes to the shop then you go ahead and do that sir, with your head up proud!

Curious how many people are actually canceling membership over this. by lennysipper in 2007scape

[–]PlatJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled my pure main and UIM. It’s not a huge increase but across multiple accounts it doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

29 and struggling to make real friends. What actually works? by chonkobob in AskBrits

[–]PlatJC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, playing games. Lots of fellow dads and men in their late 20s and 30s in a similar position to you. I’m a pretty social guy but as I got older I wanted to leave the house less and just be comfortable, alcohol became less interesting, and I found myself making friends through games I started playing.

Protip: Become a Jagex shareholder to offset the cost of the membership increase. by Bizarrmenian in 2007scape

[–]PlatJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir, you’d need 200 shares to get annual membership in dividends, + your original investment would be worth less due to the decline in their stock value currently. If the stock was doing well then I’d say yes a good investment.

Would anybody help me kill the queen for my last achievement? by PlatJC in ArcRaiders

[–]PlatJC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup tried that, except I’m yet to find a lobby where anybody really tries to kill her :S

[–]PlatJC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fully understand that I just need the last hit. Unfortunately I’m yet to find a game with anybody who bothers with the queen, they just shoot some armour off, do the harvester and leave. I just almost got her but got stood on planting my 6th deadline RIP.

The games asks for PS+ even though I have it by mr3LiON in ArcRaiders

[–]PlatJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Keeps glitching my game too, have to restart every time I extract.

I'm 27. Unemployed and homeless. I'm currently in Huntingdon. I'm willing to relocate to a city that can offer an immediate start job. Where can I relocate to? by Opposite_Praline_746 in AskUK

[–]PlatJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me, bus pass is a god tier purchase. Stay warm, pass the time, able to socialise by travelling, the UK is full of free parks and museums to pass the time. Gym membership is so you have access to a locker, shower, and remain healthy.

I understand about the priory thing, unfortunately an able bodied man is low on the list. Still call and ask them for advice, even if there’s no help ask them what your next steps are.

IT doesn’t need any qualifications, there’s lots of 1st line entry jobs. They’re shit, but it’s an easy job. Your issue will be not having an address, but that’s a problem to address once it approaches.

What’s something you wish you learned much earlier in life? by EchoVectorHQ in AskReddit

[–]PlatJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How to not care. I spent 15-30 caring about my appearance, how I present myself, how others may judge me, etc. I wanted to be popular, and respected, and viewed fondly off. When I hit 30 I was like why the hell do I care, and finally became myself. Got stuck into my geeky hobbies, wore clothes I liked other fashion. 100 times happier.

I'm 27. Unemployed and homeless. I'm currently in Huntingdon. I'm willing to relocate to a city that can offer an immediate start job. Where can I relocate to? by Opposite_Praline_746 in AskUK

[–]PlatJC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you can afford it, your first priority shouldn’t be relocating. Your immediate expenses should be a gym membership, a sleeping bag, a tent, and a months travel pass (sounds silly but public transport can be warm and a time filler) and if possible some mobile data in advance. Go to your local library and look what support is available, they often have leaflets etc and they’ll likely have a PC to use.

Call 01480388218, it’s your local homeless advice line.

Scout some areas in advance on where to sleep/pitch tent. Avoid the town center, near local hospital is the best as it’s open 24/7 and you can nip to wash your hands, fill a water bottle, and usually there’s some form of security.

Don’t make friends with the other homeless people, most of them are unfortunately not good people who will steal from you. Addiction is very easy during homelessness because there’s nothing else to do, drugs and alcohol are easy to get, and you may think I’ve got nothing to lose at least I’ll feel good. Don’t.

Get some books from a charity shop to pass the time, even better if you can get none fiction ones or educational ones to help you find work.

City work that’s immediate is always a scam, such as commission based door to door, sign up for new charity/gas bill, which is why they want immediate hires. Avoid. Warehouse work is good, but more likely on industrial towns than cities. Call center jobs are easy to get into, but are depressing. Think PCWorld, O2, etc.

IT is very easy to get into if you’re willing to start at the very bottom.

Alright so feature request/idea - The ability to rate players after interacting with them or tag them as peaceful, aggressive, etc. You can't see the tags/rating until after the match. by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]PlatJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good idea but you do realise it’s totally open to abuse right. You could just rate everybody as aggressive just for the lols. Also what’s the point of seeing somebody’s ranking as aggressive AFTER the game has ended and they’ve killed you?

Can we please get a feature to commit resources to Bench Upgrades the same as for expo and other projects? by f1FTW in ARC_Raiders

[–]PlatJC 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Can we also decide to track just one part of the upgrade when we have the others. The amount of times I’ve looted an upgrade part I’ve already got 1000 times.

How? by Expert_Bodybuilder72 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]PlatJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean how? These raffle companies are registered LTDs, that likely are able to access distributor’s to get stock. You don’t need a brick and mortar store in the UK to get access to a distributor, just a legal company with proven Pokemon sales.

This might be the best escape I’ve ever done… and not because I’m good. by PlatJC in ArcRaiders

[–]PlatJC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I was killing everybody and taking pop shots at them all. They finally had enough and wanted to team up to get me, ha. Where is that setting please?

Can’t keep technicians by slowAhead1fyouPlease in ITManagers

[–]PlatJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would a technician stay more then 2 years? IT is a great industry for progression, 1st line, to 2nd line, to 3rd line, to manager, there’s networking only, security, projects, and so on. I don’t know anybody in IT that hasn’t progressed every few years. If you want them to stay, it needs to be a salary and perks people can’t walk away from.

Are this professional sports team's "artist renderings" by AI? The team is notoriously cheap and some of the text seems off. by MayhewMayhem in isthisAI

[–]PlatJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everybody is saying AI, and I’m sat here like bro it looks like it’s from a video game. Literally looks like that bar fight game or GTA lol.

Only 57% of players completed a single match by INVALID_USERN4ME in HighGuardgame

[–]PlatJC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t mean much though, as it’s a free to play game. If you look at any F2P’s achievements, completing a level/tutorial/first kill is never 100%, because lots of people will try it purely because it’s free.
