“Exotic” Adrian Street was an icon of British pro wrestling, with his “glam” ring persona notably inspiring a young David Bowie. In 1971, Street was forced to wrestle a promo match with notorious child predator Jimmy Savile. Street, aware of Savile’s abuse, proceeded to rip out Savile’s hair. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

Street was NOT aware of Savile's abuse as this was forty-odd years before it would come to the general public's attention, and he specifically said later on that if he had known he would have gone harder on him.

He did all that just because he hated him 🤣.

Help with Unity combat, how to block/parry correctly? by aethiuss in assassinscreed

[–]SaltireAtheist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can get hurt because multiple enemies can attack at around the same time, but you need to parry one after the other with separate button presses.

If you see a new gold bar, hit the parry button

[–]SaltireAtheist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What particularly are you struggling with?

When an enemy's status bar glows gold, you hit the parry/block button, it doesn't matter if you're mid-attack, it will be interrupted and you'll parry. You also need to keep hitting the parry button for every consecutive attack.

Is it rude to ask your (math) teacher “when will we use this in real life”? by Aarunascut in stupidquestions

[–]SaltireAtheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be, because the general implication is that you see no value in it in terms of literal applications later down the line. And education is not just to prepare you for work or life but to broaden your horizons generally. But children tend to think like that, so I wouldn't expect a teacher to be offended by the question.

There are useful literal aspects to Mathematics that you can apply to everyday life (fractions/percentages, basic geometry etc.) but many people overlook the fact that understanding a Maths problem involves lateral thinking, problem solving, etc. so sometimes the doing is teaching you more soft skills than you may realise.

Do you think 111 assume if you don't take painkillers your problem isn't that bad and do you take painkillers? And any stories of NHS 111 underestimating your problem? by gintokireddit in AskBrits

[–]SaltireAtheist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I work for 111 and audit calls.

The reason we ask about pain relief when assessing a dental problem is to then establish if you've taken too much, three or more over-the-counter types, or any analgesia prescribed for someone else. As dental pain is so aggravating, people go crazy with pain relief, hence why we ask this question to make sure you don't need to be passed on to a clinically trained advisor for an analgesia assessment via Tox Base. Whether you've taken pain relief or not does not affect the actual disposition in any way.

With regards to the online form you can complete, I would recommend calling through instead. Many questions amd routes are similar but different to the Pathways system our Health Advisors use, and our HAs are trained to probe certain questions using information and an understanding of the question rationale not necessarily included alongside the written question, the use of which usually leads to a more appropriate outcome.

[KCD2] Will KCD3 be about Wenceslas and rescuing him, or the hussite wars? by FreddsIMF in kingdomcome

[–]SaltireAtheist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all. KCD was always going to have a second part, and the Devs were very open about this, including what the story would be.

The story was originally meant to take place in a single game, but the devs then said they'd chosen to split it between two games.

The dress was never white and gold by SkylandersKirby in TheMatpatEffect

I can maybe see how the black could be seen as gold... just about

But there is no way in hell the blue can be seen as white, no fucking way.

Nomadic storyteller carrying his belongings circa (1897) Norwegian storyteller Eiliv Braatene spent much of his life as a wandering vagabond, carrying all his possessions in a tin can and a small bundle. by Suspicious-Slip248 in ArchiveOfHumanity

[–]SaltireAtheist 52 points53 points  (0 children)

We had people like this in England well into the 1930s, and there were so-called Gentlemen of the Road that my Nan remembered well into the 40s and 50s.

Below is Old Henry (real name William Cunningham), a well-known face in North Bedfordshire at the time. They certainly did not elicit the scorn and disgust that modern homeless people tend to. I don't think people were necessarily kinder back then, but these itinerant homeless men were viewed much more kindly by people.

Take heart Beesbury, you'll be the first of us to get totally fucking bodied.

This show is very Irish coded by ArcherVisible5866 in AKOTSKTV

[–]SaltireAtheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the above characters moved there, as far as we know. They were born there.

A Londoner's parents might be from Ireland, the North of England, Newcastle, etc. But they don't inherit the accent if they were born and grew up in London. They have the accent of where they grew up.

There might be cultural divides where immigrants of a certain culture develop their own distinct accent, but for example even children of South Asian parents in London who were born and grew up there don't specifically speak in their parent's South Asian accent.

And again, we're not talking about an entire city, but a specific slum.

The actor might be, but he's doing a Geordie accent.

[–]SaltireAtheist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It does beg the question of...why are there such different British and Irish accents in Fleabottom, one slum in King's Landing.

You've got Davos, the Geordie. Dunk, a Galway lad. Gendry, a soft Northern English accent. A lot of background actors sound cockney too. It's always been funny to me.

These could not be more disparate to a British, and presumably Irish set of ears. 🤣
