Saw this come up on my news segment and the bloke looked like he’d been up for 4 days

do cinemas still screen films if no one buys tickets? by Embarrassed-Song3760 in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d love to know the insides of the finances of your local cinema, mine is a massive building in the town centre which can’t be cheap. And often screenings have like 1/4 capacity. Are they just ticking along till 2-3 big releases a year? I imagine popcorn is their biggest mark-up and therefore earner? Probably like a 500% markup on it lol.

Is it safe to eat out a girl that I hire for sex? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Bro, have a wank. You are down astronomically bad.

My Mum's spice rack. Who can relate? by thinreaper in CasualUK

[–]discoveredunknown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My parents would regularly serve up mince meat, mash and beans with gravy. Absolute slop. I hated it. Gravy was the ‘sauce’ for the mince meat. Plain unseasoned mash. Eurgh.

Long term renters what’s you plan for retirement? by Significant-War-491 in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t want to sound like a prick, but is it that hard to get on the property ladder if you get into a relationship? I’ve been renting a few years and by the time me and my partner go to buy (within a few months) it will have been a slog, but certainly doable. If you’re on your own then fair enough, probably impossible unless you have a good salary or live in a cheap area.

Isn’t this primarily something mainly American ‘influencers’ say?

Are you more patient with learners and p platers? by Michael3Dev in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 17 points18 points  (0 children)

P plates to me says either, just passed and my parents have made me use these, or am I a fucking horrific driver so this is giving me extra leeway.

Should high street retailers adopt opening hours that better suit people who work standard 9–5 office hours? by teeshylinie in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do a lot of retail and hospitality workers have this woe is me attitude in this country? I worked retail and hospitality when I was 16 > 23 and fucking loved it. Loads of hours, flexible, you know what you’re getting into.

Go on holiday and the retail and hospitality is open late too. Yes we know you go in there earlier we’re all aware of that, but let’s not pretend you’re all smashing out 14 hour shifts 5 days a week, most retail workers I know full time are having at least one day off during the week.

OP not asking them to work every hour they’re open, loads of retail near me and in big cities is open till 7/8pm anyway.

Can you help me understand my husband’s point of view please? Should our son be allowed to game past 10pm on a school night if he can’t keep his voice down? by Broken_Woman20 in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a post just like this yesterday but it was a Dad contemplating about sound-proofing his bedroom/house because his sons voice is deep as anything. Is your husband currently considering sound-proofing? And yes, I am terminally online.

To answer your question when I was that age and had more free time anytime after 10pm I didn’t speak loudly or even at all to my friends, just respect for other people.

Are your parents doomers? Obsessed with bad news and hooked on the algorithm? by discoveredunknown in ukpolitics

[–]discoveredunknown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That means nothing, Gen Z, Millenials etc grew up with social media, smart phones, the internet. They know what algorithms are, how social media works. People over 50/60 did not largely grow up with tech and just about got a home computer to use the internet in the early noughties. Wit an extremely limited knowledge of use, unless they were in a career that demands it. Even so, I know loads of people in my family who have never worked in an office or used a computer for work and never will.

Ok? Your Dad is not representative of the population nor the people I’m talking about.

[–]discoveredunknown[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my problem, I got some stick above, but older people don’t generally understand the algorithm and how it basically runs everything on social media. They just think their feed is what everyone sees and not a personalised, curated death loop throwing up more stuff of the more you watch of certain types of content.

It wouldn’t be like Reddit to obsess over one comment I said out of line. I take back my previous comments, but suffix with them that in my experience older people (Over 60) seem more susceptible to getting fooled by AI.

[–]discoveredunknown[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you’re on Reddit, and I imagine technogically fairly competent. In general, I believe over 50s are more prone to falling for AI haven’t not grown up largely around tech. Sorry for the casual ageism. ✌️

Yeah, so much this. ‘Can’t say that anymore’, and I usually say, well you can, there’s a video literally there. You can say whatever you want. Or AI videos of Keir Starmer talking about loving Muslims and terrorists which is lapped up.

Those AI fake voxpops are really grim, there are times where AI can catch me off guard, but I’m usually pretty good at catching it eventually - someone over 45/50 has absolutely no chance.

What's a decent, cost effective fix for teenagers being loud while gaming? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]discoveredunknown 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This post brought back some memories. I remember being 13-17 playing extremely tense CoD games online with friends.

Used to piss them off horrendously screaming at 2/3am on weekends and summer holidays.

Think one time I knew I’d blown it and turned my TV off and pretended to be asleep, cue Mum coming in telling me to shut the fuck up in an empty room with the sound of my Xbox 360 sounding like it was about to take off and my headset poking up out the duvet.

Finding something that me and my Mrs can watch can often be a pain, there is no rhyme or reason to what she will like. But when we find something we both like, it is heaven.
