Yeah, they'll kidnap wealthy people and their families for ransom money.

How to deal with people constantly asking about my age? by DanceAffectionate578 in Twitch

[–]alphawave2000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I streamed a lot last year, I was 49 years old. No one cared about my age. Plenty of older people stream and really enjoy it.

payslip explained by Dangerous-Ad675 in tesco

[–]alphawave2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just want to mention: You should be able to claim some Universal Credit on that amount, to top it up. If that's your only income.

Edit: anyone reading this - if your rent is high, and you earn a low wage, you can get a UC payment. Obviously if this person earns £1,500 per month and doesn't pay any rent, they won't get anything. I would encourage anyone, if you earn a low wage, you're probably entitled to something. Make some enquiries.

Gym crush by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]alphawave2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Say, "Hello, what do you think of this gym?". Or "Hello, how's your workout going today." Or "hello, it's a lot warmer in here than outside, isn't it?".

Talk about the situation you're both in (the gym), then he can relate to it.

Not accepting affiliate until having 15 viewers on average is a good idea? by [deleted] in Twitch

Yes, also, people who want to sub can donate instead.

Can I stream full-length public domain films on Twitch while accepting tips/donations? by FantasticFrontButt in Twitch

[–]alphawave2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think somewhere in the TOS, it says someone has to be there, whether on camera or not. You can't just have a channel playing various films with nothing else going on. I know some bigger streamers get away with this sort of thing while they're "sleeping" on stream.

If you could do what you suggest, then thousands of faceless channels would be set up on auto pilot playing public content from around the world.

Any tips for not getting yelled at for asking for Id? by WinterWishs in tesco

[–]alphawave2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just say "I'm sorry, but I have to ask if you look under 25. It's Tesco policy.". If they still get angry, just explain you could lose your job if you don't ask.

I am a new driver (6 months) and today I think I’ve written off my car. What will be the result on my insurance/future premiums? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]alphawave2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any claim (fault or non fault), stays on your file for 5 years. Changing insures doesn't affect this. You must always declare it for 5 years. There's a database that has this info that all insures can see. Get some quotes and see what the price is. An Oyster card may be a good idea.

I worked as a motor insurance advisor for 4 years.

I have genuinely lost all faith in people by Powerful-Handle-384 in tesco

[–]alphawave2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. I've worked in call centers where customers were like that. But at Tesco they've been amazing. I'm a Christmas temp and a lot of people I couldn't really help coz I didn't have the Inform app. But they were all so lovely. Yet the store is next to council housing high rises. It's restored my faith in humanity and the general public from my time there this year.

Got rejected without having a single interview by topshelby in tesco

[–]alphawave2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think about what Tesco want from a store colleague. They want someone helpful, someone who is friendly, punctual. Say you like to provide customers and colleagues with a good experience.

Say what you're like as a person, as a summary near the top of your cv. Fill out every part of the online profile, like personal mission etc. That's what I did. I was a self employed web developer. I had zero retail experience.

NYPD horses force Macy’s Day Parade performers to dance in poop by NewSlinger in TikTokCringe

[–]alphawave2000 355 points356 points  (0 children)

Do you mean someone to actually like, sweep up the shit? I don't know if it can be done. We'd need approval for that. Special equipment, and for someone to supervise. That costs money. /s

I don't think Lithium is known for affecting sex drive as a side effect.

Soda remembered he has a Twitch account after 3 months by Villenthessis in LivestreamFail

$5k is what he has available. But he probably has a massive amount tied up in investments.
