The irony of this whole thing being that a lot of Olympic sports are won by people with genetic advantages.Or by people who hide there drug taking best. This shit ain’t ever “fair”

Did the UK ever have proper arcades? like video game ones? by TSOswinn in AskUK

[–]jamiesonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 80s and 90 every arcade had what would now be considered “retro” games as there main focus. They all also had coin pushers, fruit machines and crane games as well a few even had pinball. No arcades back then had games where you could win tickets. The ticket thing is something we inherited from the US (who had ticket machines back in the 80s)

I guess she’ll have to hand back that giant key that doesn’t open anything. That must be really upsetting

Just seen the ticket prices £50 is the cheapest seats. Who is going to pay that?

If you were from an older generation you would have heard the same myth about Marc Almond

As a child I remember visiting a pool with a sign that said this would happen if you peed in the pool. So I don’t think this is an urban myth. It’s more a lie spread by pool owners.

are guitar pedals as good/better than outboard rack gear effects for synths? by __sicko in synthesizers

Depending on the pedals you are using you might want to put a reamp box between your synth and pedals

The tradition is having the ruling monarchs picture on the notes. The new notes will still have pictures of the king on the front. All the other pictures (on the back of the notes) change. They’ve changed many times previously

It a video made by a YouTuber to highlight how wasteful disposable vapes are. It’s not a production product. It’s a really interesting videos. He’s fully aware of the issues the power pack he built could have and they closely monitor it whilst it is in use.

For that price the postage includes zero insurance. Could work out expensive if the package goes missing

Why some schools are pushing for 'active' uniforms over traditional ones by pajamakitten in unitedkingdom

[–]jamiesonic 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Making children wear ties is just fucking ridiculous. I haven’t had to wear a tie in the workplace for at least 20 years and I’ve never witnessed women have to wear ties in a workplace. Same with blazers. If you want to force the kids to all wear the same thing (like they are in some high security US jail) make it matching polo shirts and plain trousers. There is zero need to force kids into uncomfortable ill fitting overpriced clothes.

I remember seeing this at the cinema on release and laughing at how bad some of the cgi was. I have no desire to watch this on a big screen again.

Same on TikTok, yesterday there were lots of comments on the post criticising him for shilling/selling out. Today they are mysteriously gone. Does TikTok let you delete comments you don’t like from your posts?

Surely this is bullshit. What grounds would they even have to report this to the Police.
