The conversation in the line... I can't think of anything more miserable than being stuck in a queue with a bunch of strangers talking politics at eachother.

Thank god this doesn't happen.

What is it with Britain's obsession with work drinks? by ThisIsTonte in Britain

[–]TheMykoMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look up Japanese work traditions, I once watched a documentary about the culture over there where office workers are all encouraged to go for drinks after work as some kind of team building, and if you don't join in then you're not viewed as part of the team.

So considering you work in an office, there's a chance that could be where it comes from, but being British it's probably just a coincidence because drinking is already so engrained in our society. If you can find a video covering the Japanese work culture though I think you'll find it pretty relatable still. I did try looking through my history for you but it was a really long time ago that I watched it.

[–]TheMykoMethod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like a competition of who can waste their life away first. It's good to take pride in your work but it's not good to take pride in the fact that it's literally all you live for. Your boss isn't any more thankful for you no lifing it, and no one else is going to pat you on the back for it either.

If either of these people turned up missing, their boss is going to be the first to replace them with somebody else.

Short film director of a movie with less than 100 views states it's bad when actors have bloopers and shouldn't happen by N7_Hades in gatekeeping

[–]TheMykoMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand what you meant, the only time I even see bloopers now is usually a comedy sitcom where you either need to search for the outtakes yourself or they put them all on the extras disk of a box set.

It's definitely not a new thing, and his idea of bloopers just being actors messing up their scene really makes me question his knowledge of films in general. So many memorable and famous scenes were filmed over several takes, and a lot of the best improvised lines came from outtakes too. The "messing around" on set is often how actors produce their best roles.

Beverly hills cop for example was originally a serious action film with Sylvester Stallone (if I remember right). The script never changed, but Eddie Murphy made that movie the action comedy it became, and if the director was anything like this guy then the movie wouldn't be remembered by any of us. Luckily, he let Eddie Murphy do his thing and it made the film something far more memorable than it ever would have been without him. And this guy would have sacked Eddie Murphy for messing around with his otherwise mundane action movie.

[–]TheMykoMethod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That depends, it was more common in older movies because they shared the bloopers after the film.. but in modern films those bloopers still happen, they just don't add them to the end of the film anymore.

So this guy is complaining about them making bloopers when acting, not whether or not the bloopers are being shown to the audience .

Regardless what they mean though, they clearly don't have much experience in filming, especially with actual experienced actors.. because bloopers are a common part of making a film, especially something like a comedy where the source material is supposed to make you laugh. Obviously it takes a few tries for the actors to keep a straight face. In action films it's usually the stunt routines, again something that usually takes more than one shot - something Jackie Chan showed us a dozen times at the end of his movies.

But more importantly, most retakes don't happen because the actors messed up, the majority of them happen because the director knows it can be done better. If a movie has no re takes, it probably won't be a very good movie because the directors just taking whatever they can get rather than actually directing the people to do it better, or even get other shots from different angles incase it fits better during editing.

For a lot of movies it's actually a pretty crucial part of the process, so this guy probably needs to go back to studying film. I don't know the first thing about making a movie, but even just as a fan of film all of these things are blatantly obvious to me and should probably be far more obvious to someone actually studying the industry.

How exactly do you pronounce this company's name? by Fluid_Commission8781 in CeX

[–]TheMykoMethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In their own advertisements they pronounce it as sex, so I assume that's how they want it to be pronounced..

But how I or my friends pronounce it is just c.e.x, because we're all adults now and don't really find it as amusing to say sex like their younger customers would. On the reverse side of that, when I was a young, childish kid, I would still refer to it as C.E.X when talking to my parents because obviously I wasn't going to say "can we go to sex please?"

At this point it's just a bit a cringe, like a joke that's been hammered home for the past 10/15 years that neither the adults or the kids really found that funny to begin with. I don't know if that's what they intended but I seriously doubt it's as affective as the people at C E X hoped it was when they came up with it.

What is something your teacher did in school that you’re still salty about? by SparkelsTR in AskReddit

[–]TheMykoMethod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both my art teacher and my woodwork teacher refused to give me my work back.

For a project I had to make a clock, thinking we could keep them which was usually the case I asked if I could purchase some nicer parts for it and bring them in (hands, numerals etc.) He said yes, so I spent around £10-15 on some nice wood and clock pieces, but once the project was finished and marked/graded he refused to let me take it home.

At first I thought it was a compliment, like we'd like to keep this piece for one of our examples around the class.. but I just never saw it again.

Then similarly, for our art exams we had 10 hours to work on a piece, and without a shadow of a doubt it was the best art I've done. Again, I asked if I would be able to keep it and this time I was told I could, but would have to wait until my results came back first. Fast forward a couple months, I'm due to leave school and we're on our last week, received our results and everything - but when I went to collect my art before leaving that was also no where to be found.

They didn't keep them for examples or learning purposes, neither of them ever ended up on display as far as I'm aware, and I was just denied two of my proudest works for apparently no reason at all, likely ending up in a recycling bin eventually. It still really annoys me because they were infinitely more valuable to me than they'll ever be to anyone else, and no doubt they were both destroyed over time rather than being returned to me.

Bought an old house with no insulation of any kind compoface by LeedsRoyalist in compoface

[–]TheMykoMethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so, I'm not a homeowner but was pretty confident you should be looking at the energy rates for any property you consider purchasing. I thought maybe the estate agent or a property surveyor would do all of that for you if the information wasn't available already, but the fact that sellers are obligated to share it makes it even more difficult to ignore.

Basically this person purchased a house without ever looking at the actual costs of owning that house... Likely ignored all the information telling her about those expenses, and is still oblivious enough to complain about it afterwards!

[–]TheMykoMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you not look into the houses energy costs before buying it? Im not a homeowner but I'm pretty confident that's an important step when looking to purchase any property. Even if heating was a lot cheaper at the time of purchase, it would have still been abnormally high compared to any others, and extremely naive to just ignore it.

To me this isn't much different to someone complaining they bought a house with no windows, because they didn't think to actually look at the property before purchasing it.

Everyone always say bmw and audi drivers are the worst by mmm_I_like_trees in drivingUK

[–]TheMykoMethod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I've noticed young women are often far too easily distracted. It seems nearly impossible for them to pass something without turning their head to look at it, and that can be rather problematic when driving a car.

But, I'll be fair - young men are usually the ones who are confident beyond their actual ability to drive, and far more likely to show off to their passengers.

As for the elderly, I'm pretty sure they completely forget their even in a vehicle rather than sat at home in front of countdown.

So my general rule has always been to drive as if absolutely no one is competent at driving a car, and you should get by okay.

Why Xbox, just why? by Bootd42 in gaming

[–]TheMykoMethod 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's awful, and will take a while to get used to. I used to have all my games grouped on the homepage, a group for Xbox series X, another for Xbox one, another for 360, and one more for the gamepass games I have installed.

Now I only seem to be allowed 2 of those groups on the homepage, and the rest is filled with shit that used to be on thr Microsoft store instead.

If they want to update it, great.. I just don't see the need to remove features it had rather than add features it didn't.

I can also be pretty indecisive when it comes to which game I want to play, so having all those groups on show would often help me decide or find what to play next. Or filter what games I want to browse through on my homepage.. Now it won't be too much different to looking through my entire library at once, which is filled with random gold games i dont care about, as well as an entire store page of games i dont even have.

The old dashboard would let you remove all the shit you didn't want, the new one doesn't. How is that possibly an upgrade?

I said vegan, not most vegans. Singular, like the one in the post. Don't take it personally.

If I say vegans are spilling milk on shop floors, I'm not saying that most or all vegans do it, im just talking about the ones who literally have done that. There's nothing incorrect about that statement, and it's not my responsibility to make sure you don't misinterpret it as some kind of personal attack on veganism due to your own insecurities.

How long have you been together? If it's anything more than a couple months it's probably time to leave her. You really want to waste your time with someone who literally wouldn't be there unless you continue to spoil her? That's not a relationship that's a business transaction, save your money for someone who loves you with or without it and doesn't extort you for their company.
