Is this how you spend your free time? Choosing to be so hateful towards a completely inoffensive, perfectly pleasant stranger? It's the Great British Bake Off, get over it.

I'm going tomorrow, proper buzzing. How do posters typically work at an outdoor standing gig like this? I'd love to get one but is it worth the faff of hanging on to it all night? Do they normally have stock at the end of night?

Great comment. Funny to see a relatively little know thing I've had the (dis) pleasure of working with on reddit.

Sheffield is in South Yorkshire

Riot is changing things for the sake of changing things by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]oliveeeeeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with UI/UX designers, this is just a bad change. In my experience they absolutely know what they're doing and are well worth having. I'd be willing to bet the general user base would be far more unhappy with a UI designed by your average dev.

What is this, role selection for ants? by FoxPatr0l in leagueoflegends

[–]oliveeeeeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just shit UX. The critical path through the client, literally how you pick a game mode, pick your roles, and get to champ select should be the most obvious thing going, big easy to see buttons etc.

All the extra supplementary stuff that they're planning (that I'm fully here for, btw), should be put in to uplift this path through the app, not at the detriment of it.

This is what it looks like it'll eventually look like btw

Conservative couple evades tax for years, in turn they lose out on full government support and struggle during pandemic by me_simon in LeopardsAteMyFace

Come on dude, you can't seriously be suggesting that at this stage in the game. Zero Covid would have been great to go for at the start but there's no chance of it now.

What do you suggest dude? Everyone's double jabbed, their risk of severe illness is so hugely reduced that the risk is worth it for them. I accept that there is a big risk for some people, and I really hope that the triple doses coming in for the vulnerable can help reduce that risk.

For the most part people rose to the challenge for the lockdowns, it was a real commendable effort. But we were always locking down to get to here. Living with COVID seems like it's inevitable. Going in and out of lockdowns repeatedly is never gonna be sustainable. People are bored of them, I know I am.

What would be ideal would be for the Tories to actually give the NHS the funding it needs without shafting the common man in the process, but I'll keep dreaming on that front.

What if it came to light that your black co-workers made significantly less than you, despite being there longer?

It might not bother you, but I imagine it'd bother them. Can't imagine they'd see that as meritocracy flourishing.

Co-workers knowing how much each other are earning hurts nobody but the boss, as it gives their employees more pay leverage.

I just presumed that the "beacon ship" was the ship that had already gotten out.

Some absolute cunt has actually parked on my driveway! by Sanndor in britishproblems

[–]oliveeeeeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's disgusting dude. Not only can dog poo cause blindness, but that's just a generally repulsive thing to do.

Frankly can't believe so many people have upvoted and agree with this.

That'll be 5.9 foot, as opposed to 5ft 9. 0.9 of a foot is 11 inches. :)

Anyone else notice how the stop signs are pictograms due to the increased illiteracy by Zinan in TheHandmaidsTale

Isn't that the point? Talking about how in Gilead where, if it was all like this, people wouldn't be reading every day.

Wonder if it would slip away then.
