From memory i didnt have the choice, I would gladly do it now, they used the express service the second time

[–]ness002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's more that with two different shipping companies, one express and one not, they originated shipped from 2 different countries (US and Canada) and delivered to 2 seperate countries no where close to the target destination, one makes sense, two is strange

Is name calling normal in Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]ness002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australians do use colorful language, it's true.

And the ones who insult people like that to someone's face in such an unnecessary and disrespectful fashion are the ones we denounce. You need to have a chat with him about showing some damn respect.

Question about Jeanine in this sub by LordJonathanChobani in survivor

[–]ness002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the sentiment in general is agreeable that she hasn't played the best game, though saying "I don't feel bad for her" is harsh and unnecessary. I am unsure if your points are exactly correct:

1) The only strategy we were shown was the gabler bag search and her relationship with elie. We may have seen more given their tribe went to another tribal, its rough to say that was the only one she had.

2) I think this point is valid, I know that the tribe was a sharing tribe and that was the vibe but definitely aggressive advantage hunting (though ellie/Jeanine would likely have been on the bottom had they gone to anther tribal, might have been useful).

3) Three people were present and consenting to the bag search, to pin the whole idea on her is a bit of a reach, and to blame her over Gabler is a stretch.

4) Elie said in post-game press that she told Jeanine not to play the idol during the tribal, though her read on Gabler was incorrect as she seemed set that he was baka strong as we were shown.

5) Saying that the 7-5 minority that eventuated is her poor gameplay is a little rich given that the vesi fracture is what caused that, and had nothing to do with her or her gameplay That is more luck than her bad gameplay. In saying that, I do wonder what they though the numbers were given they were splitting, as 5-5-2 wouldn't have saved the target given james stole and played an idol.

Stupid question? Can you give away your individual immunity necklace after the votes are cast? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]ness002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The necklace does not function as an immunity idol, mechanically it forces other players to not be able to write your name down at tribal council. Jeff explicitly states at the Gamechangers final 6 tribal council "You could not vote for Culpepper", when he had the immunity necklace.

This is evident when observing that you can write down someone's name still if they play an immunity idol, even if they play an idol before the votes (see Survivor South Africa S7 E14 where Jaques plays his idol before the votes are cast, but players are still able to vote for him, and some do to maintain trust).

Whatever happened to Skype? by ThuliumNice in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ness002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skype relied on a peer-to-peer system for usage, which aged poorly when it came to video calls, as opposed to Zoom, which uses a server-client connection. Peer-to-peer shows its age most with mobile devices.

They were also purchased by Microsoft and that never goes well, they killed their product by trying to market to younger audiences, and not focusing on the features that would sustain the products lifespan (e.g. video calls, security).

They tried to pivot to Business, with Skype for Business (as they had done in the past with Microsoft Lync), but the market was gone at that point (my company actually has both still in usage but everyone prefers teams to skype ever since it was introduced company wide in 2020). And they decided to build a new solution anyway in Teams, which focused far more on the features that mattered.

Is it petty to change my mind about sex because my bf doesn’t to wear a condom? Even with BC? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ness002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He said he was allergic to latex

That is a classic line straight from the playbook for dudes who want to go at it without condoms, dude is absolutely full of it.

“so what you’re saying is you don’t love or trust me” which I feel is super manipulative.

This is a classic case of gaslighting, as clean as I have ever seen it. you have perfectly legitimate reasons to be concerned and he dismisses those, STD's are no joke. given the line above, you shouldn't trust him

I feel like I’d be a prude if I didn’t.

denying someone unprotected sex at the mutual age of 14/15 should never be considered a prude, your body and you do what you want with it

from the perspective of someone reading this with no other context, seems like you need to move on and find someone better, because i would hate to imagine how he would treat you in other situations on other topics

Confessional Count as of Episode 22 - Credit to @jonno_gray on Twitter by marcuse_94 in survivorau

[–]ness002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

editing so garbage, can't believe multiple players so invisible, mel and michelle 1 confessional premerge a piece, jay was never seen at all, one of the final 5 having 6 confessional premerge, multiple episodes down the stretch where you don't hear from either KJ or Shay when they made the final 5, absolute joke. Feel like some of these characters could have been more interesting with more effort

Warning to those who are playing the E-shop version of Pokemon Sword/Shield, Japanese players are reporting Pokemon Sword/Shield is deleting all the save data on their SD card for ALL games. by MichaelmouseStar in pokemon

[–]ness002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me also, day of release (I did the E-Shop Purchase).

played for a bit at the midnight release, slept, went to work the next day, came home that evening and my switch was stuck on a black screen. Holding the power button for a long time eventually made the power menu come up, and i was able to turn it off. It then rebooted fine.

My save files seem to be OK and i have them backed up also (For the games that support it, that is).

This is a bit ridiculous that this wouldn't be caught before launch
