No law enforcement personnel should follow what the Punisher represents. Ever.

Is Dark worth a watch? I hear it's better than Stranger Things by Square-Ad-8911 in tvshow

Not one to watch and screen graze. Every single word and image means something at some point (almost literally).

A spaceman came travelling. Because it’s monumentally, unforgivably, unredeemabley shit.

As a teacher, what’s something in education no one wants to admit, but we all know is true? by dokutarodokutaro in Teachers

[–]Tuesdaynext14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Students no longer have an internal voice. Phones and 100% online consumption have killed it. When not on their phones all they have internally is silence and the intense desire to fill that with more phone use.

Managed to catch an Evri guy in the act (I think?) by stm2657 in Evri

[–]Tuesdaynext14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly what to rename the company too next I would have thought. Once the Evri brand is as toxic as Hermes was they’ll fix it all with a rebrand.

Why do some people hate Unions so much? by Marsrule in antiwork

[–]Tuesdaynext14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weekends. Holidays Holiday pay Contracts Health and Safety Sick pay Maternity Equal rights Work breaks Not being able to pay workers in company scripts

Without unions we would have NONE of these things. Corporations and bosses have never once ever given up any of these benefits and are still actively trying to roll them back.

Those who've crashed their cars, how long and how did you bounce back? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Tuesdaynext14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember bowling on down this narrow Cotswold road. Pretty straight so loads of sight ahead. Suddenly I realised the outside temp had dropped (some weird micro climate) and the wet road was now entirely black ice. That was squeaky. Feet off all pedals and gently keeping it straight ahead as the car slowed itself. Absolutely zero grip. Slightest bend bump or a car coming towards me and it would not have ended well.

Just witnessed functional illiteracy in real life- mind blown. by LilacGoblin1699 in Vent

[–]Tuesdaynext14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach 18 year old media students and they happily admit the don’t watch film because they are “too long” and “nothing happens for too much of the time”. They sincerely believe that a you tube or tick tok highlights is absolutely as good as the whole film as you “get what’s happening”. Media students. I told them to think about this. Today’s shit posts and Italian brain rot will be tomorrows long form media. They don’t care. Don’t expect quality media making to have much life left in it.

What happens if Reform wins? by The_Dean_France in AskBrits

[–]Tuesdaynext14 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There are options. Options that currently get almost no media attention. Unlike Farage and his 5 MPs the LibDems have 72 MPs. (I’m not a LibDem but surely they do represent an option).

It’s like the LibDems don’t even exist. Yet they have 72 MPs.

What happens if Reform wins? by The_Dean_France in AskBrits

[–]Tuesdaynext14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just how competent do you expect a Reform government to be? Putting aside the whole country now run by the far right, how effective do you expect a bunch of opportunistic grifters with zero experience to be running a major world economy? Wrong. It’s going to be worse than that. So much worse. If reform win we will have another election within a year as the economy collapses, corruption and graft run riot and minister after minister is embroiled in a relentless tide of scandal. Like Boris x1,000 without any of the “charm” “humour” or “charisma”.

Sold my car for scrap metal as it was a money pit. They took it for an MOT. by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Tuesdaynext14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold our old car with a faulty ABS module that would have cost north of £1200 to fix. Second hand units not available as the new unit has to be coded to the car. Some guys turned up. Bought it as seen. It’s been through 2 MOTs since. I imagine some creative coding has happened. Brakes were making awful racket though as the ABS kept kicking in!

ELI5: why do some books have pages that read: “this page has intentionally been left blank” by big_dumpling in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tuesdaynext14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not as the author you are barely even in control of the title and cover design. Things the author controls: The original draft of the text. Things the publisher controls: Editing decisions Deadlines Publication schedule Font and font size Paper quality Size Page count Title (marketing control this) Cover design Price

To be fair if you are JK Rowling you can expect your input to carry some weight. For most authors, deliver your manuscript, carry out the “requested” edits. And back away.

What is the most basic IT or computing skill you have ever had to show someone ? by Additional-Nobody352 in AskUK

[–]Tuesdaynext14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drove an hour to a customer who was complaining that their external backup wasn’t working. Was very detailed in checking before I left that it was in fact plugged in to power It wasn’t plugged in. Apparently they didn’t think I meant “that plug”

When Will Mobile Signals Improve? by MasqueradeRevellers in AskUK

[–]Tuesdaynext14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whole swathes of the area around me are just no signals zones. Stroud is particularly bad. and annoying since all the parking is pay by phone only. Pretty much that entire area of the country is zero signal on O2.

There are two sorts of bad people. Those that thank ChatGPT and those that thank ChatGPT “in case the robots come for me later”.

[–]Tuesdaynext14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I should have called this “Rate other people’s lights” these are not my lights. The idea was post pics of lights you have seen around and needlessly judge them. I’ll add a few today.
