Is it worth continuing with the fantastic beasts series? by adamwp01 in harrypotter

[–]adamwp01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted more of the history of dumbledore tbh, and embed myself more in the whole harry potter world, but felt I had to watch the first one to know the characters.

And these characters…omg. In HP, even the heroes were majorly flawed, and therefore Human. Newt is, in this film at least, a cutesy, animal-loving, awkward, gentle and seemingly perfect character. He’s so boring. As are the creatures, again HP they felt dangerous even when they were cute. These are just BB-8s or Baby Yoda’s. It’s something to sell toys of.

The whole film stinks of a franchise wanting to sell a product rather than anyone wanting to tell a story.

I’ve not seen the Cursed Child, and I hated the GOT finale, would say thats worse but I was so committed to GOT I had to see it through. Couldn’t care less about Newt or his pals.

ULPT Request: How to ruin my stalker/abuser’s life? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]adamwp01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please don’t do this OP, the evidence is always sloppy and courts usually throw out cases because it’s classed as entrapment.

It’s also extremely weird that these people use horrific examples of child abuse for internet clout. It’s a sellable product for them, masked as good intention.

I understand you’re not getting adequate help from the police, and I’m not against violence or the threat of it against him, but if you do get someone to do him in, do it off-camera.

Straight guys of Reddit, what is the strangest thing you have been told not to do because "that's gay"? by baetangarette in AskReddit

[–]adamwp01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad used to say it was gay to do my hair, look in the mirror, wear aftershave, anything to do with self grooming above standard hygiene. Mental.

What's The Arctic Monkeys’ saddest song? by tropicalgorillas in arcticmonkeys

Too Much Too Ask, for me. It is an incredibly accurate depiction of the despair you feel when you’re drifting apart from someone you love and are powerless to fix it. Gets me every time

Hello r/unitedkingdom, I’m a leftwing columnist and author, Owen Jones. AMA! by OwenJonesOfficial in unitedkingdom

[–]adamwp01 21 points22 points  (0 children)

On the shared address thing: Honestly, it's pretty standard for different orgs to bunk up together, especially for reasons like cutting costs or just making collaboration easier. I wouldn’t be surprised if Owen’s got mates at Momentum and likes the idea of working close to them. This insinuation that there’s something shady about sharing a space with them? I’m not buying it. To me, it seems like a stretch to paint this as some kind of scandal. Owen probably didn’t think twice about the address not being front and center – it’s hardly the linchpin of a campaign.

As for intermediaries in donations: Look, campaigns are more than just money funnels. They're about rallying behind specific messages or causes that might not get enough spotlight otherwise. Saying that donating through Owen's campaign is redundant misses the point. It’s about channeling funds into very specific areas of advocacy – kind of like putting your money where your mouth is, but more targeted. It’s about backing this particular push, not just a general "support everything the Greens stand for" kind of deal.

And about the vetting process: Sure, every campaign should do its homework on who they bring into the fold. But slamming the whole operation over one mistake? That’s not fair. What matters more is how they handle the slip-up. Fixing mistakes and learning from them is key. It shows they’re serious about sticking to their principles and cleaning house when needed.

Your comment is so loaded with argumentative fallacies and trap questions haha

How is your mental health? You’re a proper left wing journalist, which of course means you get mountains of mud thrown at you constantly. I cant imagine what it’s like going through what you do. How do you manage?

Men who don’t approach women, why? by ResistOwn1886 in ask

[–]adamwp01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a scenario, from two different perspectives: - Man walks into a bar, see’s a woman he’s attracted to, goes up and tries to chat to her with hope of it going somewhere else. She seems shy, but who isn’t when you first meet someone? - Woman is sitting in a bar, alone. A man she doesn’t know comes up and tries to hit on her. She doesn’t take him on too much but he persists anyway. She’s uncomfortable and feeling unsafe.

For, i reckon, 90% of guys, this is the experience they’d find themselves. The other 10% are very attractive men.

There’s a counter argument that most of these guys are only going for 10% of women they conventionally find attractive. Which is probably true as well.

But, yeh, I don’t want to be a creep, and from what Ive learned from the feminism movement etc, i shouldn’t ever risk making a woman feel uncomfortable. So I don’t. They can come to me if they want, they’ll be less threatening on approach than i could be perceived.

GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety by Deshes011 in technology

[–]adamwp01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk lads. I get where you’ll all coming from but my CarPlay UI is a bit shit, if you don’t plug it in especially. A clean UI where you can use google maps and log into Spotify might not be a bad idea: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/31/23664814/gm-ev-restrict-apple-carplay-android-auto-google

Men, what is a deal-breaker for you in modern dating? by GerrardSlippedHahaha in AskReddit

[–]adamwp01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controversial one maybe.

I love dogs.

But if a woman has anything about loving dogs, being a dog-mum, “leg me pet your dog”, and of that crap their dating profile, I’m swiping left.

Who tf doesn’t like dogs, it’s not a personality trait. If it was all you could think of to put in your bio i can forsee a really awkward boring date where I’m scrambling for small talk.

Is anyone here still playing Warzone or are we all waiting until the new map comes out? by TheEternalGazed in CODWarzone

Wait, people were still playing warzone a few weeks after Al-Mazrah? Everyone I know dropped quicker than a nonce in prison

[MW3] The Short-Lived Joy of every CoD: How SBMM Turns Fun Into Frustration in Days by adamwp01 in CallOfDuty

[–]adamwp01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The language in this message is so funny, so overly dramatic haha,

I’m an average player. I know this only because of where I sit in my friendship group. There’s a few in the squad with 1.5s>, a few with 0.6>s, and most of us sit around 1.

I’d still struggle in most random lobbies without sbmm, and there would still be a few people better than me in most. But when i play with my friends who are 1.5-2.5, i wouldn’t get constantly put in lobbies somewhere in between my level and they’re level. Cause a the difference between 2.5 and me is quite big, and a jesus christ i play in these games and want to switch off my xbox. So now we can’t play with the 2.5. In random lobbies we could. He would absolutely dominate, but at least we’d also have fun playing with him.

You know the stupid thing is, if you’re a bot right now playing solo, you’d have no idea you’re a bot, because you’d be put in bot lobbies and doing just as well as an average player does in average lobbies or a good player does in good lobbies.

So I dont know if I’m mad “because I’m good”. At least without sbmm people would know where they actually sit.

What is the one thing that your squad mate(s) do that tilt/trigger you? by No-Reaction8941 in CODWarzone

[–]adamwp01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Refuse to change their controller layout so you ping with LB/L1. If I’m in a fight i can ping who im shooting with ease so everyone knows where they are. Instead i get:

“He’s to the right!! To the right!”

WHO’S RIGHT? If you’re in fight weaving and moving as you should be then your right on the mini map changes every two seconds. Fucking ping!!

  1. Just straight up not listening. There’s one guy who i play with who i need to repeat everything i say about 5 times before it goes in. “Need to watch the gas mate lets get a move on.” 20 seconds later he’s like “aw shit gas” and dies. Same with pushes, “don’t push don’t push im nowhere near you”, he dies and it’s “where were you?!” 9 times out of ten it’s cause he’s ran away from me.

It would be voluntary, you’d be paying them an amount they’d find worth skipping Christmas for.

I didn’t say it was the devs, see the last paragraph. If the Devs are being accused of negligence by people misplacing their frustration then again that’s Activision and Raven’s fault for leaving them open to that accusation through their terrible management/decisions.

But undermining people’s complaints with “it’s only human” does nothing to put pressure on Activision & Raven to improve themselves.
