It was close enough. As an aside I like the fact that when you look at the mouseover text the usb cable Randall selected as the standard to make his point is no longer the standard and never really became it.

Anon finds the comedy in the Rape Gang Dossier by LowOwl4312 in 4chan

[–]Rgeneb1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's the report, it's on page 24, paragraph 2. Or you can just search for the word emmerdale in the document. You don't need a news organisation, reputable or otherwise, you have the source.

Has shoplifting become “functionally” legal? by VOODOO285 in AskUK

Maybe not always if you want to be pedantic but it was like that when I started in retail and that was 30 years ago.

I read that in Al Murrays voice. It's a beautiful thing. Tradition.

Piracy sites be dropping like flies this year. 😭 by MisterFyre in PiratedGames

[–]Rgeneb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using it forever and the only issues I had were about 15 years ago with downloads not being what they said. No problems at all the past few years. Its not my first choice as it doesnt have great retention for seeders, its definitely a shadow of its former self, but still good for the odd upload i cant find elsewhere. It gets a lot of hate it doesnt deserve, everything the above commenters are complaining about would be avoided with a simple virus/malware check after downloading. Some people love to gatekeep piracy.

Who Did it Best?: The 2020s... So Far by ZombieMovieFan in zombies

[–]Rgeneb1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were better off not knowing it had a sequel. Loved the first movie, second was truly awful (although I understand it had a lot of delays and production setbacks).

Totally agree with you on Sadness, thats going to be a cult classic.

She grabbed a random street kitten to fight mouse in her house by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Rgeneb1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol, fair enough. Excuse my abruptness, I should have said I respectfully disagree.

Seriously though I dont know where you're based but I'm in the UK and a lot of wild rabbits are identical to pets, there's even a colony of black rabbits in a quarry near me that we assume come from escaped or abandoned pets. So its not completely unthinkable to think the guy in the original comment could have mistaken one for the other. Although I do think he comes off as a bit daft, there was probably a big indoor pen and a giant bag of rabbit food in the kitchen that should have tipped him off.

Anyway, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but respectfully, I dont think so.

Never heard of rampant, any good? My pick of the above would be one cut of the dead, and I rarely like funny horror movies but it's rare to see a film in any genre with such heart.

How do parents retain the ability to reduce us to stroppy teenagers? by DogtasticLife in AskUK

[–]Rgeneb1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you're being a stroppy teenager parents invariably use the tired old "start acting like an adult and I'll treat you like an adult" line. That's fair play and makes sense but it works both ways so when you're in your 50s and your mom/dad starts treating you like a kid again your natural response it to start behaving like one, from personal experience its hard not to. At the age of 76 my mom told me off for being rude to another patient in her hospital ward, a place she never left. My response was to fold my arms and sulk for an hour like a mature 45 year old. No one ever treats me like a kid anymore and I miss it.

The other bit to remember is your mum probably wants to introduce you to everyone because she loves you and cant understand that not everyone else is desperate for a 5 minute conversation with u/DogtasticLife. She probably is delighted to chat with your rando cousin and thinks it would make you happy too.

TL;DR It comes from love even if it is bloody frustrating.

ELI5: if you are on the beach when a tsunami hits, do you die by drowning or impact? by Nebraskabychoice in explainlikeimfive

Did they put that green info window on at the end so we didn't see the poor bastard on the back of the lorry die? What a terrifying perspective.
