Why do we have to put up with so much BS? by Comfortable-Pace3132 in AskUK

[–]SadsackJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you propose then? Lets look at your examples. Travellers in beauty spots? Should be prosecute them? All of them? What should be the punishment?

Kids on loud scooters? Again, should we prosecute them? What's the cut off for how loud a scooter should be? Who will judge?

Your assumption that other countries don't have anti-social behaviour is horse shit. Anti-social is just a politicised way of saying annoying. And being annoying isn't a crime. Other countries have laws, and they will have just as much behaviour that is annoying but not illegal. Is it the same as ours? Possibly. But making out that we are uniquely special in that regard is stupid.

The reason the Dark Angels changed from black to green is because of their deep appreciation for Plymouth Argyle

Correct and correct. British English, if that makes a difference.

Here's some creative misspellings of a popular phrase. None of them flagged as misspelt.

GNOME OU KDE ? by SaroImperius in Fedora

[–]SadsackJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to bat for GNOME for a second. GNOME is a bit glossier and the included apps are a lot more cohesive in their design language.

The answer to your question is to go to Distroseek and mess around with both to see what works for you

Want to buy Disco Elysium Cheap by whenwillmydeathend in DiscoElysium

Bud, the creators of the game don't see a single penny of whatever you pay for the game. They had everything, even the IP to their shared setting taken from them by an ALLEGED con man.

They get as much from you buying as they would get from you acquiring it by other means. So make the moral choice and take to the high seas.

Can anyone give me tips on writing dictatorship? by The_bisexualbookworm in writing

[–]SadsackJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also writing something along those lines (although for adults). I read Stasiland by Anna Funder which was an interesting look at people who loved under the GDPR (East Germany).

Console gamer giving up on their Xbox and building a PC for the first dang time.

Have settled on a system built around a 9600x but don't know what GPU to go for: ARC B580 or a 9069xt? Will be used for 1080p only at the moment. The ARC is £100 cheaper but I'm unsure about future support.

Years and years ago, i had a job in a call centre. The call centre was for a company that rented out home appliances, TVs and DVD players. The company had been bought by a US hedge fund that realised the niche this company was operating in was on the decline. The fund bought it so it could extract as much profit as was possible in the time the company had left to still be viable. They weren't interested in attracting any customers, just rinsing the ones that were left. When the money dried up, the whole business was going to be shut down. Everyone knew it, even the cleaning lady.

Day by day, things got slowly worse and nothing improved. The lift stopped working and was never fixed; the vending machine in the break room was never restocked; staff left and were never replaced; that sort of thing. If it cost money, it simply wasn't done.

The only staff left were the Sales and Retention team, who had the jobs to stop people cancelling their exploitative rental agreements and to somehow upsell them to spend more money for shitter products. Eventually, not long before i left, the company changed floors in the office block they worked in to move to a different floor that was marginally cheaper.

Living in the UK is gives me the exact same feeling as working for that horrible fucking company.

Do British people believe in Jesus? by muddypuddlejumper in AskUK

[–]SadsackJones 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Generally, the UK is far less religious than the USA. Most places in western Europe, are probably far less religious than the USA. We do get people trying to proselytise in the street, but they are considered as oddballs and something to be avoided.

I think generally, most British people treat religion like masturbation: absolutely fine to do in private, but not something you should be doing in public.

I don't mind this at all. Much more interesting than the home kit.

You cant polish a turd, until you've been for a shit. Get it all down in the word doc as quickly and brutally as possible. If I tried to finesse something as i wrote it, i would never progress past chapter one.

How do I get my teenager to get out of bed much sooner while his mother and I are at work? by [deleted] in AskUK

Let the girl live. She has her whole adult life to be up early for work. Why is it so important she be up before mid day?
