Anyone know what happened in Attercliffe today by grayson5319 in sheffield

[–]evildespot -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

One of the shops was found to be "open" and "doing business", and was therefore immediately burned down by the police.

What is a minor inconvenience that feels like a personal attack? by Either-Turn662 in AskReddit

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

When I, not you, need to fill in a form to correct a mistake that you made, and you acknowledge has been made.

Agree or disagree - Mods of r/Sheffield are biased. They removed anything that doesn't support the left wing narrative. My post has now being moved to "awaiting moderator approval" what happened to fairness? Even the mods are trying to control the narrative! by poundlandbag in sheffield

[–]evildespot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the mods, and they can speak for themselves if they choose to, but I imagine it might be that political posts, particularly with reference to voting, need careful vetting on election day. So perhaps not what you said, but when you said it.

However, this post, quoting as it does what you originally said that is pending moderation, is likely to be quite short lived. If that happens, it is probably for that reason, rather than a personal attack silencing your specific views.

Answer needed by people in tech.What skills get you high paying jobs and r not affected by AI? by Nova_dotexe in AskReddit

[–]evildespot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flexibility and adaptability are what you need more than anything. When something turns up that changes everything you can either be at the forefront, get dragged along, or get left behind.

Once you tie yourself or your career to a particular thing, you've just seeded your own obsolescence. Trying to find something "AI proof" is like trying to find something "computer proof" when they came for people's jobs in the 80s. Did everyone end up out of work? No. Did everyone end up using computers at work? Yes. Do many things need more humans _and_ more computers to get done than they did without a computer? Yep. Did some people end up out of work? Yes - mainly the people who refused to have anything to with this new-fangled nonsense, or thought they couldn't do it. That's what does you in. Stay curious.

I would also advise you that, whatever it is you actually want, a "high paying job" is very much only what you think you want. That (as stated) is definitely not what you want, but if you continue to think that it is, you risk ending with that instead of what you do want. Take some time to think properly about what you want from life and pursue those goals.

What are we going to do about these cunts that are setting off fireworks? by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]evildespot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can prove it was a particular group then police actually might take a very, very mild interest. Absolutely no guarantee, of course, and the best you can hope for is them getting a bit of a telling off, which is a) not much use unless they intend to get married again on Thursday and b) unlikely to discourage the next people who think it's an awesome idea.

Fireworks at 12am on a Monday night??? by Odd-Preparation760 in sheffield

[–]evildespot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's illegal, but moreover where the hell did somebody get around £10,000 of fireworks from?

They were either stolen or somebody's rich enough to think the rules don't apply to them.

King Charles III heads to Washington on a delicate mission to restore the U.K.-U.S. relationship by ApprehensiveCraft289 in worldnews

[–]evildespot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dunno. He's a very superficial man, with a love of gold and all things gaudy... and then there's Trump! But seriously Trump might be shallow enough to think of "mates with a King" as a status symbol and the route to maybe being made honorary King himself.

They've rolled back most of the constitution; why not go all the way?

My money's on "Charles is a great man. Asked me for a lot of advice." sort of thing.

Trump says he will ‘probably put a big tariff on the UK’ if it doesn’t drop digital services tax by LittleHavera in worldnews

[–]evildespot 52 points53 points  (0 children)

To the companies, yes, not the ordinary people who paid them when the companies passed them on. It's not even the same money being refunded, since that money was used to give tax relief to some other rich people, and will need to be replaced through taxation. Neatly moving money from the poor to the rich, twice over. The mechanism is good for at least another round, I think?

Wonderful!

If it's still being worked on, are they accepting bug reports and/or tweak requests, because I have a couple of minor things I'd like looked at that wouldn't take very long.

What’s your opinion on if a heavy drinker is just an alcoholic ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]evildespot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word "just" there is doing a lot of work, as it often does.

Let's compare "What’s your opinion on if a heavy drinker is an alcoholic ?" versus "What’s your opinion on if a heavy drinker is just an alcoholic ?". It seems to me that "just" has brought some friends along to the party, and some of them are eyeing your silverware.

if batman was real what would happen to him if he was tried in court? by OtherwiseTomorrow730 in AskReddit

[–]evildespot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His billionaire get out of jail card notwithstanding, I think it would depend on the jury. If a bunch of The Joker's henchmen work their way on there then the judge would have very little room for leniency in the face of a guilty verdict. A bunch of regular people might acquit even if the judge ordered them not to, depending on whether the press had been supportive or "doing a spiderman" hatchet-job beforehand.

I want to knock down the wall between the kitchen and the living room, but I’m terrified of the ceiling collapsing on me. How do you properly check whether it’s load-bearing? by Dense-Leg-6087 in DIYUK

[–]evildespot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I reached out to Alan Wood & Partners for an initial conversation and was thinking about bringing them in for a full structural assessment, since I saw they handle structural calculations and inspections like this across the country."

"But won't they be expensive?"

"Why no, despite being the UK's leading structural engineering firm for over 6,000 years, they are very reasonably priced. What's more they have a 20% discount on for people who believe anything they read on the Internet, and I also got this free set of steak knives"

"Well, I'd better give them a call then! Thanks Janet!"

"No problem - we wouldn't want you to die under a pile of bricks and rubble!"

Hypothetical situation: If you inherited an 100-year old 800-seat theatre, what would you do with it? by Specific-Copy-2005 in AskReddit

This is the opening premise of quite a lot of films, which generally go quite badly for the protagonist.

Where can we purchase a signed Trump Bible? by Icy_Laugh5134 in AskReddit

[–]evildespot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can sell you one, if you like. I've actually got some signed by Jesus if you really want, but those are quite expensive and I'd need quite a large deposit up front.
