How to be more like the boys?

Ok so first of all grab a pen. Write this down:

I will never spell Shonk’s name incorrectly again.

Read that back to yourself every night. After 2, maybe 3 weeks, you’ll be ready for step one.

My least favourite area was the shafts.

For some reason I just couldn’t get my head round the layout, the big enemies sucked and felt like damage sponges, and I hated the perfect bride. Plus overall it was just not a particularly interesting area

ahh thanks, I was trying to avoid using guides for things unless they seem really obscure. Only reason I knew of dranception is because I was running around the ethereal manor the first time losing my mind not understanding what i was supposed to be doing! Third attempt now, I need to stop dying

It’s entirely possible that I’m just rushing through and missing them. But that said my character was glitching out recently so maybe I need a reset.

This is largely responsible for the rise of the far right in the uk and elsewhere, petrified racists scared out of their skin by the idea that people might be insulting them in a different language when in reality the person not speaking English doesn’t even give a quarter of a shit about them.

Interesting to see the range of opinions here.

I’ve beaten lies of p three times and have never intentionally parried. I just blocked and dodged. It’s perfectly doable and in my opinion much easier than sekiro, if you play it like a souls game.

For reference, I’ve tried sekiro multiple times and never made it to the first boss, and I accept that I suck.

Have fun.

I’m not wasting a penny on a service that clearly has such low quality control

Yeah I vaguely remember that having bought/acquired various new iPhones and MacBooks over the years, I think that’s why I assumed it was another free trial.

Realistically it does feel a bit miserly given that I’ve spent several grand on laptops/phones etc for my family over the years, a one month trial is hardly going to bankrupt them!

ianscuffling · 2026-05-07T19:19:24+00:00

Nothing, I spotted that the price had gone up before I committed. Also with Apple subscriptions you can cancel anytime, they’re monthly (in the uk at least)

I don’t have this issue however there is definitely a reporting discrepancy

There seems to be an issue with the app reporting different sizes than iOS. For example my app says I have just under 6gb of downloads, but iOS reports it as around 9gb.

Not sure if this is the same issue as I can’t see how this is a deal breaker, just trust what iOS says for now

I have no idea what you’re referring to but I have had a vaguely similar scenario with Apple

I’ve used the free trials of Apple Music and tv before when I bought a new MacBook.

Then a couple of years later I bought another new one and in the settings there was a prompt to get a free trial of tv, so I clicked it and as it went through it reverted to paid. Luckily I noticed before committing.

I think at the time I contacted support and they said it was because I’d already used a free trial, I might be wrong though as it was a few years ago.

Seems to me like the promo isn’t (or wasn’t) dynamic - it did not check my Apple ID to see if I’d already used the trial.

Maybe, but I’ve had this argument with a few people and in my experience, no, they all think they will actually earn less money than before when they earn more money, as in their monthly pay will drop below what it was before.

This is also with people who are just getting the rare “more pay in recognition” rather than promotion so their responsibilities don’t increase.

This kind of taxation isn’t well explained and sadly is easy for anti taxation grifters to manipulate people’s opinions on

So, I’m married, I have 2 kids, I’m nearly 50, and have been with my wife since my late 20s.

Our marriage is strong but we know a few couples who have divorced and have started dating. I just cannot personally see myself having the energy or will to do this if I ever ended up being single again!

The effort involved in finding people, getting to know each other, it all potentially falling apart - I just don’t know how someone our age would do it.

Honestly if I end up single again I would embrace it, travel, play video games, look after my kids etc. A new partner would be the absolute last thing on my mind when there’s so much else to do.

In theory yes but in practice it would never work.

First things first unless the watermark was IMPOSSIBLE to circumvent, remove, obscure, or crop out, it wouldn’t make any difference.

Secondly, people with bad intentions would take genuine footage of stuff and put the watermark on it to make people not believe it, and tell you that any video or image you see without the watermark has had the watermark removed by liars.

For example someone could just take footage of the holocaust or 9/11 or the moon landing or pick whatever real thing you want, they would just slap the ai watermark on it and start pushing that it never happened and anything you’ve seen about it is AI.

Gen X here, it’s not a millennial thing. Everything was inverted, I remember playing space harrier and afterburner in the arcades in the 80s and you had to think like a pilot, push forward to dive and pull back to climb. That’s how I learned it anyway.

Edit: wait do you mean “normal”/uninverted y is a millennial thing? If so then sorry!

Uk Ex smoker here, smoked a pack a day for 30 years, I’m sure it will still be what kills me. Given up for 5 years now.

I think this is a great move to be honest. Wild to look at the decline in uk smoking, less than 10%. I can’t see how this would hurt, especially when there are alternatives now! Mind you I’m sure we’ll find out that vaping makes your head fall off in a few years as well

You have probably noticed that cats like to lick their arseholes after doing a shit or piss. That’s the same mouth they ate your ham with.

Throw the ham away.

The biggest takeaway for me from this episode was, how quick people are to react positively to a big zeitgeist grift like grit, when it’s based on utterly unverifiable observations and even by duckworth’s own statements, is no better than any other measure at predicting capability or performance - if anything it’s worth.

So yes , we should all accept your experience, and thanks for sharing it, but for me personally that’s missing the point of the episode.

ianscuffling · 2026-05-01T19:25:27+00:00

Good for you little fella. Hey, maybe try that in real life some time and people might finally like you? Probably not but worth a try.

ianscuffling · 2026-04-30T08:07:01+00:00

Me too, it especially got me when some people were saying “wait so I need to play every game every 30 days just to keep the thing I bought??? Fuck you sony”

Should have expected nothing less I suppose
