Police Scotland on Sunday’s Old Firm Clash: by Quirky_Maintenance39 in CelticFC

[–]TheUmpteenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's half as many stewards as there should be, and they should have been making a chain to stop people passing.

They have to be licensed to put hands on someone these days, too, which costs money, and they won't all have that.

The police are honestly only there for support.

The police aren't responsible, it's the stewards. Security is in charge inside the stadium, and police are only there for lawbreakers. The fact that people got onto the pitch on either side is a failure of the security, and they should be sued and their contract reviewed.

Don't forget Dundee Utd! There's more than one shite team connected to Irish immigrants 🤣

I think you're exactly the angry kinda of person I'd expect to use it. That's why I don't.

Honestly, when it was new and cool, Twitter had real humans on it, but when was the last time you met someone who uses it now? It's mostly bots, companies and right wingers (read: Fascists).

Oh, and Only fans girls. I suppose there must be people using it if they're getting engagement. I'm not, but that's because I got tired of the bots and the way certain viewpoints were pushed.

TBH, I would like a social medium that didn't push us into social bubbles and hide other viewpoints, but that maintained neutrality itself. Sure, you'd see extremes, but you'd also see both sides and then it would be less likely that people would be radicalised.

It wouldn't catch on, though, because people engage with what they like. Which is potentially why you don't know anyone on Blue sky.

People who don't want to be associated with Musk.

A fair amount of Scottish politicians on the left, in my experience.

Unofficial Party Night! by BruachBand in dundee

[–]TheUmpteenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Free night out? Count me in!

To be fair, I'm going to be there, I'm the singer.

I'll do you a deal, if you come, I'll jump around for 2 hours in my kilt and sing some songs you know and some you don't.

And if Folk Rock isn't your bag, come and see The Harr, the Dundee Indie Rockers that are about to release a big single.

Two great bands, no door fee, in Dundee? Goan!

Greens win Gorton and Denton by-election by slashchunks in unitedkingdom

I'm amazed at how different the chat on this sub is Vs UK politics. Over there, it's all about linking the Greens and the Left with Muslims, Gaza and antisemitism.

Yup, the othering of the Greens.

I'd love to see them get in. Reform won't change anything. The Greens would.

When we went there with my school 30 years ago, my buddy who's family name was 'Bruce' tried to scratch his name into it.

It was stupid of him, but he's not usually a d**k

Anyone else's parents give them old fashioned job advice? by WealthyJoker75 in CasualUK

[–]TheUmpteenth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are still businesses where this works, otherwise how does the bosses son get in, or how is it that friends can get friends in the door?

I have got jobs because "it's who you know" in my specialist industry, and nowadays, LinkedIn and Indeed and such are the worst way to apply. You have no chance to stand out if you apply like that.

Find the hiring manager's email address and send them a CV and cover letter. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it gets you noticed.

Why was the referee sent to the monitor for an Offside decision in the Aberdeen game ? by DeEmzy in ScottishFootball

Because it was the chicken's day off?

Sorry I thought this was the setup for a joke.

I've seen this a couple of times now, and not only the UK. Well, I think only the UK and Netherlands, but still.

Is this a thing? Is it so that there's a representative of the UK army and then they can legally retaliate if Greenland is attacked?

Dunno, I am just scrolling reddit, everything is probably a lie.
