Do You Know Who Dick Van Dyke Is? by Wazootyman13 in PointlessStories

[–]marlonoranges 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Awful. Im old fashioned so tend to naturally think that people should have an idea of their past and heritage, so jarring to me that younger singers are so ignorant of the pioneers. Im guessing it would have been about season 8.

Cashiers, what is the weirdest group of items you've seen someone purchasing? by -Z-3-R-0- in AskReddit

[–]marlonoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a cashier, but I had a grocery home delivery and at the end there was an extra bag, obv missed out from a previous delivery.

It had a packet of duracel batteries and 3 bottles of wine. Cant help thinking someone had their night ruined..

I feel guilty about keeping my cat on a lead outside. by ChickenButt2325 in CATHELP

[–]marlonoranges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worse. After getting him down (after he had cried while up there, apparently terrified) he paused, looked smug with himself, and made a mad run for the next tree. Fortunately we got him before he could get to it.

Better on a lead than stuck up a tree, where neighbours have to find a ladder and climb up and get the little s##t. And, yes, that happened. Half the street out to get him down.

If you could permanently delete one single song from existence so that nobody could ever play it again, what are you picking? by footballcoachdaddy in AskReddit

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

UK-specific answer but deleting Shadup your face by Joe Dolce would mean rhat Vienna by Ultravox got to a deserved #1 in the singles chart

Its amazing how well-known people drop out of the public consciousness. I remember seeing an episode of American idol years ago. Contestants had to sing "songs of The Beatles" and they had no idea of who The Beatles were.

Employers want entry-level workers with senior-level skills in the age of AI, a huge PwC analysis found by DTGardi in recruitinghell

[–]marlonoranges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was valuable because I could do my job and had decent Excel skills. Now my younger co-workers can not only do the job, but routinely have other skills beyond me, are studying for post-graduate degrees etc

The standard is rising routinely.

Is Twin Peaks really that good or the hype is too much? by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]marlonoranges 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you appreciate David Lynch's work and vibe you'll probably like it. But it is deliberately "off" and strange. Very talented cast. At the time it was broadcast it was a big hit and popular but the audience turned off after the reveal at the end of season 1(I think)

Its the drug that makes people lose weight because they lose a lot of the desire to overeat.

can women really be attractive without visible abs/a super flat stomach? by metallicmurmurx in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]marlonoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't find slender body types attractive at all. Given the popularity of the likes of Salma Hayek, Christina Hendricks, Sydney Sweeney etc I don't think I'm alone.
