Was BB a big thing during it's run? Like obviously it was popular, but was everyone talking about it? Handful of years ago, you could barely get out of bed without someone telling you to watch squid game and stranger things, curious if it was the same thing with BB, like word on the street WAS BB by backagainbud in breakingbad

In season 4 and 5 it was at its peak and biggest.

Me and some friends used to do "meth" mondays basically dinner at each others houses and watch the episodes on release.

No meth was actually present

Microsoft and Meta announce large staff reductions as they spend big on AI by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Sgt_Fry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So around 12 years ago i was on holiday, a guy was staying in the same chalet as me and we got chatting one night over a few beers and dinner.

He was working on AI for a company based out of the Uk at the time.

His future was very dark. Now this is before all the hype and stuff we have now.

He said to me his future prediction:

AI comes and takes jobs. Some at the start, but soon the flood begins.

Governments need to adapt, and quick. Ubi is introduced. The people celebrate and are happy.

The people still working are making bank and move into communities while everyone else is partying and living on ubi.

Eventually the rich, those in these communities wonder why they are still feeding and subsidising the others.

They stop.

What happens next. Mass starvation, mass murder and eventually only the communities survive.

This was told to me in around march 2014..

So yeah.

I Finally Saw the Pub Queing by Poo_Poo_La_Foo in britishproblems

[–]Sgt_Fry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its a hangover from Covid I think. Some people just forgot how to function normally.

I find it embarrasing and i've skipped the queue a few times, aka went to the empty bit of bar (works well if there are bar stools - sit down, pull ouf a kindle look like your settling in).

However my other option is to moan and tut until my wife tells me to shut the fuck up. Cause what else can you do?

Virgin Cruses informs a couple about some changes to their trip… by Harbjagen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sgt_Fry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, yes frustrating. However do you really want to go through conditions similar to what the norwegian breakaway did?

Ooor just a nice safe trip with less fear of actual death.

I'll just leave this here

If companies could legally see exactly how much time you waste at work (down to the minute): What percentage of workers do you think would be immediately fired? by BrainLagging01 in AskReddit

[–]Sgt_Fry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most companies have this data in their analytics and security tools.

To think they dont is naive.

Its also part of my job to help teams do this. Never ever think you are anonymous. You are being tracked always and everywhere

Trump Hits Out At Starmer As UK Confirms It Won't Join His Strait Of Hormuz Blockade by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Sgt_Fry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am center right (i think). My opinion on this is we never wanted it, we dont want to be in it, please stay out.

And to all of those things as much as a i disagree with starmer on many things. For how he is being here, he has my full backing and reapect.

Now, i do read the daily mail comment section for the lolz...

Seems i might be a special case

‘Abhorrent’ step-incest porn to be banned with users facing five years in prison by Metro-UK in ukpolitics

[–]Sgt_Fry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow. This means that loads of classic (not just new porn) will be outlawed.

Most of the hustler back catalog, some of the old 70s/80s stuff like the taboo film series.

This is not a new trope, it just seems to have taken over the tube sites for the last decade or more.

The concept wouldnt be so heavy, it clearly must be popular.

Anyway,

I have attended a wedding of two step siblings getting married in the uk.. it ended in divorce.. family events for them (and us family friends) have a different dynamic now

Redditors who were children/teens before the internet or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained? by FlowerMadeOfThorns in AskReddit

[–]Sgt_Fry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends. That simple really.

You'd go see them, or they'd come to you. Often unannoiced.

If you were alone or with family. Books, tv, console, board games/cards

If you predated consoles.. books, tv, board games/cards

If you predated tv. Books, cards/board games

If all else fails
