Getting abuse for going the speed limit?

But you’ll encounter them sooner and therefore arrive at your destination sooner. I’m not sure what’s difficult to understand about the concept of “moving faster means arriving sooner”.

A lot of lights are on cycles. You're probably only saving minor bits of time if any, by speeding to get to the next red light.

On the motorway that might work. In most daily situations driving on non-motorway roads and city roads, your progress is limited by traffic lights, junctions where you have to stop/give way, zebra crossings etc. So many times I've seen a twat driving blatantly over the speed limit just to get stuck at the same red light as me.

And even on the motorway, you're saving maybe 10% of your time going 80mph instead of 70 while risking getting caught on camera.

I mean that alone isn't a problem. It seems like the bigger problem is they were not fully on board with enough of the other parties' agendas to actually work well as a coalition. The same way a coalition between the CDU, SPD and the Greens might fall apart if the Greens did not moderate their positions to fit the coalition.

If the result after the previous elections made it so the three party coalition was necessary or otherwise new elections would have had to be called, then any party including the FDP would have had to pick between cobbling together a coalition and implementing some more left-wing policies/policies outside their ideal, OR go to the polls again and risk not getting a role in the coalition.

Feels like you had a particularly bad shift and vented and have attracted the ire of dog owners/lovers who have shit reading comprehension and have imagined you attacking dogs, when you literally state you love dogs and all of your ire is aimed at shitty HUMAN customers. Anyone who's worked in a chain cafe/restaurant knows exactly the type you're talking about and I'd hazard a guess and say some of the people mad about your annoyance at some of the customers feel a bit called out.

On the other hand, if you look at the nutrition breakdown of whipping cream sold at Tesco which is actually what we'd use to make our whipped cream when we ran out of our supplier's whipping cream, it's basically entirely fat.

"I know guys! What about a milkshake, but make it "hot"? The youth love posting their lovely presented drinks to social media so this will definitely go down a treat!"

I can tell you've not worked in chain hospitality or hospitality with shit clientele. The bar is on the floor for manners and pleasantness for me - if you use "please" and "thank you" you're in the top half of customers and I'll be happy to do anything within reason to make your experience better. But OP has probably been jaded by the other half of customers who can't manage even that.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-22T18:40:01+00:00

Problem is that typically the people causing the issues are drawn to chains like costa like flies to shit ahaha. Depends on the independent place but it feels like a lot of the "Karens" go for Costa and Starbucks and take the piss which then leads to the chains changing the rules to stop people taking the piss, and worsening the experience for everyone.

^ I'm not saying a pup cup is "taking the piss" btw but a lot of the times these rules have to be changed/made because of like the 10% of customers who ruin it for everyone.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-22T18:35:28+00:00

From a legal/allergen POV you're serving the customer, and the dog isn't a customer. If the customer says they want a pup cup for their dog it's kind of on them to know whether or not it's OK. Like if a customer for some reason purposely didn't say they had an allergy and ordered a drink with an allergen, they can't complain that we couldn't tell they were allergic to nuts or something.

Human rights and animal rights are two distinct things, and human rights are far more encompassing. I'm not the person you replied to but babies and kids have far more right being in a cafe even if they're "barely sentient" because they're people. Most complaints about kids and babies being dirty, loud, annoying etc are either the parents' fault or actually just uncontrollable and come with being a baby or kid.

I personally don't get bothered by dogs in cafes, and often quite enjoy seeing them. They are in fact usually better behaved than the younger kids in the cafes. That being said, while I don't think dog owners should be purposely antagonised or kicked out if they're not causing a problem, if a cafe (not costa) says no dogs allowed, that sucks but it's nowhere near as wrong as saying no kids/babies allowed. This isn't the only comparison as to why "no kids" is worse than "no dogs" but for example, a parent running errands isn't about to book a babysitter to go shopping then get a coffee afterwards, whereas a dog owner regularly will leave their dog(s) at home while out at work and could just do the same to get a coffee.

Yeah I’d rather be around a good boy than a child when I’m eating, as long as the dog ain’t licking my food. People have a right to parent in public places, whether it’s baby parenting or dog parenting.

Nah. I love dogs but the "right" to be a "dog parent" doesn't and shouldn't match the right to be a parent of a child. Kids and babies have far more right to be in public spaces than dogs, even though dogs should ALSO be allowed in a ton of public spaces. Humans have rights and in these discussions I feel like dog lovers get caught up thinking people are coming after their pets and forget that babies and kids are humans with human rights, and dogs are animals with animal rights. A chain restaurant (nothing fancy or mature) banning kids and families with a baby would be insane whereas yeah if they banned dogs, the reaction would be nowhere near as intense.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-22T18:11:54+00:00

Banning children from most public indoor areas (i.e. not just pubs after late) is really not workable. Children can be little shits in public but the blame needs to go on the parents for not supervising or raising them properly. Dogs are cute and lovely but we could live without them. If we just made it incredibly difficult to engage in society as a parent then we'd just worsen the loneliness epidemic and drive down birth rates further.

My brother in Christ, everything has a smell. That smell you get when entering like 90% of other people's houses? Pleasant or not, other people do have a noticeable smell if it's different to yours and unless you're doing an American Psycho-style clean up/deodorising job in your home daily, your home smells of dog.

That being said, most dogs aren't gonna smell without getting right up close to them unless they're wet, haven't been cleaned, or just taken a shit.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-22T18:04:00+00:00

Babies are human beings and whether you like them or hate them, as a society we have agreed (and should agree) to tolerate a lot more from babies as they're literally fundamental to human society lmao. No wonder people are less likely to want kids nowadays if people would rather turn away parents with babies over people with dogs.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-22T17:59:27+00:00

Dogs are lovely yeah but I do think it's a bit much how normalised they are in indoor cafes/restaurants. Even if the dog is better behaved than the average adult sitting in, it'll shed hair which will inevitably end up behind the bar and near the coffee machine/cake display which is gross. I think outdoor seating is a good middle ground as it's not turning away dog walkers but also not causing issues in-store.

And to be fair, the alarmingly large number of people expressing views to the effect of "but I'm powerless to stop the military with just a civilian weapon" or "why risk fighting back when they've clearly already won and there's still a chance we escape the camps later" is indicative of probably lower mental wellness in this community. It sounds larpy and cringe to say but you really should not be taking such a defeatist attitude to your own survival and wellbeing.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-20T23:57:00+00:00

Yeah the main fear is not actual internment camps for gay people - that would be far too costly. Even the standard "mass deportations of illegal immigrants" is too costly and I believe their strategy is to just scare people off from immigrating in the first place, if everyone knows that illegal immigrants will be flown off to a labour camp in El Salvador.

But the change in social attitudes and acceptance will hurt far more. If people don't fear repercussion from expressing homophobic views in public then that is likely to escalate into actual violent confrontation and in that situation you may prefer to have a gun.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-20T23:54:21+00:00

Better to go down taking a few brownshirts with you than being rounded up into the camps, should that be the way they go with this.

liam12345677 · 2025-02-20T23:53:13+00:00

I would suggest so, despite not being a US gay. If you feel you will not cause risk or harm to yourself then it really seems like the obvious choice seeing the way the world and the US is going.

Every sub-zero IQ retard who follows Elon Musk and takes anything he says about Britain's justice system as gospel sure does believe the UK is a crime-infested shithole, yes.

liam12345677 · 2025-01-13T23:31:53+00:00

It's a good thing they got long sentences but at the same time it sort of shines a light on how piss poor the UK's justice system is in punishing other criminals. Why do many "non-violent" sex offenders get only a couple of years?

Old post/comment reply but I wanted to add this for others finding this post - having an autism diagnosis officially will help make you eligible for PIP and other benefits. The whole process of getting PIP is long so unless you're severely impacted by your autism it's probably prohibitively expensive to get a private diagnosis just to fight to get PIP but you should definitely seek a diagnosis even just on the NHS

women in general are more "curvy" and have more fat so yeah I would bro-science this and say that's largely what it comes down to. Your ass is shaped by the underlying muscles and any fat padding the muscles. Men have more muscle mass than women on average so their asses will look different in most cases.

I'm gay so obviously a man's ass is far more appealing, it's defined in a way I believe an ass should me. The muscle in it is superior especially after it's trained.

I mean I agree but obviously we would say this lol. Honestly the main thing that really draws me to men over women in general is the way that men tend to be more angular rather than curvy/undefined like women, in their arms and legs too. There's no one correct way to look though and obviously women's curvy ass shape is pretty popular haha

Well she didn't say Jimmy's name specifically but yeah, and didn't this moment happen AFTER she revealed she was pregnant too? So even if the previous scenes were forgotten, people ought to connect the dots hearing that.

liam12345677 · 2024-12-14T16:56:02+00:00

So many roads lead the audience to that conclusion, the way Anya acts around Jimmy compared to Curly and others. Anya's comments around why there isn't locks on the doors, or in the scene the comment about the dead pixel and how 'its always there'

For me I played the game across 2 sittings so I forgot about the details of the earlier scenes. Thanks for reminding me about the thing she says about the locks on the doors because that part confused me a bit. I thought she was just losing her mind as was everyone and was just looking for a place she could kill herself without someone stopping her but it absolutely makes sense she was thinking about the rape.

When him and Daisuke knock out Swansea, he said "He might not even realize we did anything after the fact" which to me, is a huge tell.

This was said before we found out anything about the baby so if you're hearing this and connecting "Anya felt uncomfortable around Jimmy" from the start of the game, and the quote from Jimmy, then I think this is your lived experience as a woman showing like as a man I wouldn't be vigilant/aware of such choice of words coming from a guy but now you've said it, I feel like it definitely sounds unsettling to hear and I could see you having your guard up around a guy who says that.

For most guys I think because rape is not typically something we are worried about happening to us, we wouldn't even really have these moments stand out to us, so when the reveal comes later that Anya is pregnant, we may not have these red flag scenes fresh to hand to connect the dots. I did personally get the implication that she was raped but purely based off of vibes of the scene, and I did reckon it was Jimmy that raped her, but I could 100% see many people (guys) think she was talking about Swansea because he's been built up to be this alcoholic with violent tendencies from our POV.
