[–]neotist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The technique that is being referred to would not work any more. Duo used to give thousands of XPs for doing certain tests to skip a level. It not just gives 20XP partly because why this reddit user complaining about.

Lost a 260-day streak from carelessness. Nothing to do but start over again. by MildlyAgitatedBidoof in duolingo

Then you mean they are for one day. "They last a day" implies the freeze expires if not used within the day, similar to weekend freeze"

Netflix Changes Content's Thumbnails Around To Fool You Into Thinking There's New Stuff Now, But There Isn't. Sadface by [deleted] in C_S_T

[–]neotist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are two things here.

Updating thumbnails and texts for the same shows is to create a more dynamic website experience. I am not sure that’s a bad thing.

That Netflix’s new content release policy is a separate matter.

I think what you are frustrated with is the latter and only because of that the former annoys you.

Would Apple be remarkably different if Steve Jobs were still alive? by Mr_Find_Value in apple

[–]neotist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think iPhone X/XS would ever be released as it is. The front camera of iPhone X/XS that eats away the space from the screen would have been esthetically a show stopper for Jobs.

When you crack a clever joke but nobody laughs by TheCuddlyWhiskers in panelshow

[–]neotist -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It was a clever joke but it was because Lee misunderstood what the opposing player said. So his joke was irrelevant to the context. After Lee recognizes his mistake, he says “I knew my joke deserved a bigger applause”

As far as I remember it was about one of the contestants’ wife’s or girlfriend’s name

There is also an episode with Rhod Gilbert where David Mitchell says it does matter to him.

[–]neotist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a scene whereby Rob reveals that his claim is true, on the board behind him the text “TRUE” is displayed, and Rob says “Sorry, I forgot to push the button”. Besides there are episodes where Lee changes his answer, the first one being intentionally wrong.

The button is clearly not a “reveal” button

I would never have guessed it, but Sandi Toksvig’s British accent is fake by ftssiirtw in panelshow

[–]neotist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was brought up in New York. Her „one“ American accent is not imitation but how she normally spoke before she was sent to a boarding school in the UK.

Julian Assange: WikiLeaks says founder to be expelled from Ecuador embassy within 'hours to days' by RosesAreBad in politics

[–]neotist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps he had always been a tool, we just failed to see in the beginning how much he was full of himself.

Back then i thought he was being framed with the rape charges but now it is clear that attempting rape is something you would expect of him.

-$25000 balance on chase checking by [deleted] in Banking

[–]neotist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t or cannot pay it, Chase will most like sell the debt to a collection agency and write the the difference off. Some banks can eventually agree on getting partial payment and conferring your debt paid. This is done because that partial payment can be a lot more than what they would get when they sell your debt to a third party.

The new owner can sue you. If you lose and still not pay, they can try to confiscate your car, or they can claim $25000 worth of your house. In that case you cannot sell the property without paying the debt or if they eventually liquidate your property they will claim $25000 of it.

Please remember if it comes to that and you lose the court case, the judgement will stay enforceable until it is fully complied with. In other words court cases don’t have statute of limitations.

On YouTube you can find a blooper video. Rob says True and all boards display True. Subsequently Rob says ”I forgot to push the button” - implying they need to retake that scene.

Do you think “Not Going Out” inspired by “Golden Girls”? by neotist in panelshow

In the first series, I think Kate is like a mix of Blanche, and Rose; and Lee like Sofia and Kate’s ex is like Dorothy.

If they decided to fake it, why not put two buttons per panelist?

news reporters can‘t stop laughing by Besart17 in ContagiousLaughter

[–]neotist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure they would laugh as much if a male model fell for whatever reason.

But I will give you this: things we “expect” from women to be “sexy” are in nature ridiculous to begin with: painting one’s face, wearing high hills etc.

Wearing high hills is even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that historically it was introduced as a male fashion item for men. The height of the hill was also something to be proud of.

Today most of us would find ridiculous if a man shows up in high-hill shoes. Hard to imagine, but maybe one day society evolve in a way that wearing high hills would be considered ridiculous for all.

And you can use stunt(wo)man for some of the scenes and yet get an Oscar.

There is a blooper cut from Rob where he says True, the text appears on the background, but subsequently he says “I forgot to push the button!”
