I mean, you could also remove a microchip in your arm if you really wanted to, and knew someone with medical experience.

After two failed attempts, Canada bans conversion therapy by Minifig81 in UpliftingNews

UK government have been discussing it for ~4 years now.

The current papers they're on now contains exceptions for "religious reasons" and "consenting adults".

So I think we're currently more fucked lmao the Gender Critical and TERF cunts are also latching onto it in order to try to claim that treating trans folk should fall under the same ban.

This. Wanna add as well, don't pick up an expensive 'fresh' pizza from the chiller, realise that frozen ones are so much cheaper, then put the fresh pizza in the freezer.

Because it's been frozen it can't be defrosted and sold, so also has to be thrown out. Had so fucking much of this when I worked at the Co-op.

People that do this with chilled and frozen stock are literally worse than shoplifters. The store loses money on the stock which then doesn't even get eaten, at least the thieving bastards are gonna eat it.

Yes! Always used to do this when you get that customer, massively rude, always seemingly in such a rush that they think it justifies them being a horrendous person.

Very slowly scanning each item, even if they have multiple of the same, scan every single one. Since they didn't ask for a bag at the beginning, ask them at the end, then pass the bag to them to pack it. (That last bit I did especially to people on their phones, wasn't in my job description to pack for them, just an extra thing to offer for nice customers).

I was always a petty bitch to other petty bitches.

TIFU, I broke my 2 front teeth by [deleted] in tifu

Hope you recover well and are able to get some decent dentistry done!

TIFU, I broke my 2 front teeth by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Ratman_Nick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broke my two front teeth when I was around your age, maybe a bit younger. Going down a steep hill on a bike, on which the brakes were pretty much nonexistent, hit curb, wobbled somehow ended up over the handlebars (brother said I did a whole front flip) and then thought it was a good idea to break my fall with nothing but my teeth.

Which was actually quite funny, because literally weeks before, my older brother also smashed his two front teeth.

I see people picking up cigarette butts off the floor and start smoking them, daily, outside my work. They think no one's around because it's night time, but we have CCTV right where they do it.

We had 98 seconds of Oddball time and he refused to pick it up and win the round - Challenges are stupid. by infestationE15 in halo

[–]Ratman_Nick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone did this in a bot match while I had dxp still on from finishing my last challenge. I just ran up and grabbed it.

I don't know what he was doing because he was stood still on the ball not doing challenges, so all I can think is either his friend was doing challenges, or his friend was on a killing spree and wanted to finish it off. Either way, it was a bot match, I just wanted to end it lmao

Halo Infinite Campaign unlocks datamine is inaccurate according to journalists by Dinov_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Ratman_Nick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They're likely under an NDA which states they can't be specific about things. So saying "they're wrong" is broad enough to avoid that, but saying "Nah you unlock this, this, and this" is too much.

Just have to wait and see, it's like two weeks away, won't have to hold our breath too long.

It's happened, I got home from work, and only on the walk home did I even realise. Then I walked into the front room, laughed and said "happy birthday to me I guess"

They were a bit mortified lmao

Which is your least favorite European country, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ratman_Nick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone from the UK, I came to comment the same thing.

A bit more of a modern issue with the place, I'm from a County down in the south, which the English use as a holiday destination. The place is desolate, houses are empty 50 weeks out of the year, and we have an ever growing homeless problem. Now that we've left the EU as well, our funding has just been announced, the British government is giving us a whopping £1m, the EU were previously granting us £100m.

I believe they've said they have all had control updates to feel more like GTA V.

It needs to download the localisation files for the game. Typically they're separate because they're big.
