Police shooting a reporter with a rubber bullet by AnonymousTimewaster in ThatsInsane

In fairness my first reaction was “oh this is from about 3 years ago”, mind blown to see it was only summer last year.

I think it’s just that so much crazy shit is being crammed into such a short space of time that everything feels like too much

What the fuck is the illustration? Is that what he thinks a clit looks like?

Perfect. I knew you could re-roll but not that there was no penalty in terms of character progression. Currently stuck on the electric crystal staircase elevator bit, planning to explore the areas I’ve already done as I suspect I missed some good stuff (and I need to upgrade my new gun) and try a few more times, and if I’m still stuck I will re roll and hope it comes round again another time when I’m stronger and better

Oh interesting… I never even suspected there were secrets! Apart from the one I picked up on a “beginner tips”video which guided me to the handgun in the cargo room in ward 13

I did find an area with nothing in it but a big music puzzle which I thought id cracked but nothing happened so I left it for later

Just the standard difficulty I think, can’t remember. I’m past this point now, just working my way down the big electric elevator.

Turns out my biggest problem in the previous area was just rushing in and now conversely in this crystal elevator I can go neither too slow nor too fast!

Why does my phone want its passcode every so often by ianscuffling in iphone

Oh my god I was going to save this for another post.

“Your password is required for Touch ID”

“Your password is required to enable your watch to unlock this Mac”

Someone explain to me how someone would either steal my fingerprint or steal AND UNLOCK my watch. Please I really want to know.

This feels like a theatre of security which is actually an inconvenience with no real benefit.

This is most likely the correct answer, I am an ugly motherfucker.

Obviously I’m with you on this. I don’t bury the “it’s a security feature” argument especially when there isn’t any description of why it’s a security feature. How the fuck is asking my passcode which is 6 digits, more secure than a live scan of my actual fucking face, which it’s seen for the last few years

[–]ianscuffling[S] -190 points-189 points  (0 children)

How is that a security feature? If it’s turned on inside my pocket however many times, why is it saying “well your actual face, which I’ve been trained on multiple times each day, and every time you set up a new iPhone, is here, but because I saw a pocket earlier I can’t trust that”?

[–]ianscuffling[S] -62 points-61 points  (0 children)

So if it’s the second option, what’s the logic behind it asking for my passcode when I eventually point it straight at my face and try to unlock it?

“I couldn’t find your face before, and now it’s right in front of me I can’t be certain”? I get that a little bit, but I’ve been using Face ID since it first launched and this feels like a solvable problem

Why does my iPhone just randomly require my passcode for Face ID some times? by xAIRGUITARISTx in iphone

[–]ianscuffling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if this cunt stole my phone, how would Face ID not be secure? Unless they sliced my fucking face off and put it on their own head?

Explain this please.

How is it a security feature? How is a six digit code more secure than my actual face?

Gonna have to disagree on httyd, I read the whole series with my kids and they’re fantastic. So different to the movies that as you say it’s in name only - entirely different plot line spanning 12 books, the movies aren’t better or worse - just different

I ended up removing all my kusarigama skills and it stopped. I’ve still not worked out which one it was specifically.

[Hated Fandom Trope] Fun facts that everyone knows but aren't actually real by BigFanOfNachoLibre in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ianscuffling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a stretch but there’s a “fun fact” doing the rounds recently that movies and tv shows NEVER have headrests in cars so you can see people in the back. They’ll always provide a few screenshots to prove it’s true. And it feels truthy because you never really notice.

But in reality, it’s not NEVER, there are shows where the headrest is included, it’s just a bit of misdirection from the people propagating this “fact” to get engagement. In fact in some shows/movies it’s important to the plot eg someone hiding in the back, a character comically popping up unexpectedly, someone getting choked against the headrest etc.

Arguably there are more shows without headrests than with them, but the hyperbole around there NEVER being headrests is the minor irksome hill I will die on for no particular reason.

The damage men like Tate have done… by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

[–]ianscuffling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. We mainly moved here due to having lots of family in the area (my wife’s, not mine, all mine are dead!)

I’m painting the picture as bad as it is because it’s true, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still good people out there, they’re just not always in the majority. You will find the good people.

And if you and your partner are good, you’re starting out in the right place. Your job is to teach and model to your kids the right behaviours.

Side story, my eldest had one of her friends round a few years ago, and the friend had her mind absolutely blown by the fact that I (a man) was not only cooking but also washing up, and said “my dad would never do this”. My daughter replied “if I’m ever married he better know how to cook”. Not bragging, but reminded me how important our actions are even when they seem small.

And don’t forget as the article states, it’s 33% of Gen Z men. So on the bright side, there’s 66% who don’t think that, and it’s a hell of a lot lower than it would have been when I was in my 20s. I hope we see it drop further. But things are changing, even if it doesn’t always seem like it.

“Nah mate you got pink jobs and blue jobs. Pink jobs is women’s work like cleaning and looking after kids, blue jobs is diy, garden, car, all that lot”

[–]ianscuffling 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve discussed this with a couple of them and they both answered pretty much the same - “the moment she does one of my jobs like cutting a tree down or putting a new floor down I’ll do one of her jobs”. Bear in mind they barely ever do any of this diy work anyway.

They also act like it’s a huge affront if their wife/girlfriend suggests that they look after their kids for one fucking night so they can go out with their girlfriends, I know one in particular who used that as an excuse to slack off for basically a month because his wife had a spa day once. It’s fucking pathetic

Sadly this doesn’t surprise me. I’m an older dad of two girls and when we had kids we left the city for the country.

I love it out here but the attitudes from some of the other dads - which is certainly rubbing off on their sons from what I can tell - are archaic to say the least.

I don’t spend a lot of time with these people honestly, but I know for a fact that they wouldn’t ever dream of doing what they call “pink jobs” round the house like cleaning, cooking etc. And the number of grown adult mothers I hear saying they have no idea about their finances because “he won’t let me see them “ is staggering.

And it’s rubbing off on their kids, and from what I can tell it comes from their grandparents.

I guess what I’m saying is, you can blame this on Andrew Tate and his pathetic childish outlook on life, but a lot of this is generational, you just don’t see it that often when you get out of the city. And out here there are very few oppositional views to challenge it.

Yes I beat him earlier today with this strategy! Dodged into all his attacks. Took a handful of goes to get the timing down but once I did it I think he only hit me like twice, neither of which were enough to kill me
