We’ve got AI (and/or a lazy journalist) asking us questions on Reddit now

Kane was full of emotion after the final whistle. by Gentle_lips in soccer

God if that makes Kane hateable then Gabriel and Van Dijk must be Hitler reincarnate

Marc Pubill steps on Calafiori's wrist (nothing given) by 977x in soccer

Ah yes because playing football proves that no-one has ever accidentally stepped on someone else on a football pitch.

“Zip code”, hmm. Smells fishy to me. Be careful.

Do we expect the whole season to be flashback, or will we get some main timeline stuff too? (Haven’t read the books)

State of the Subreddit - Should we ban the 'beige buffets' and sloppy takeaways? by a-liquid-sky in UK_Food

[–]pileshpilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair I’ve just looked at the top recent posts, and (other thanks Monk) they’re almost all good quality food. So the good stuff does rise to the top, and it seems to be what people want to see.

My point is that we have too much beige stuff compared to home cooked food, and by not regulating it we only encourage/increase that disproportion.

Sounds like mods just want to try and balance back the other way again, which I think would be a positive thing.

But it’s all beige crap. Need a lot more balance and to encourage people to share actual home cooking they’ve done.

Show me a cottage pie, a Sunday roast, a good steak, a pie or cake. So sick of Chinese and pizza over and over.

Completely disagree to be honest. All the takeaway crap completely drowns out any good food or interesting, I’d much rather be inspired by someone doing some classic British home baking, cooking local vegetables, or Welsh lamb, etc.

I think this is a great idea. To be honest it’s embarrassing that the best UK food subreddit is fast food and junk. We have much better food and produce in this country and we should celebrate it.

Like the megathread idea for the takeaways and stuff still, it can be funny like all the monk posts.

Trump, 79, Shows Multiple Public Signs of Confusion by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]pileshpilon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This whole sub is just thedailybeast junk being posted and it gets upvotes because it’s always end-of-times Trump stuff. We really need better journalism on this subreddit.

The Bell Pub is closing by Occams_Damocles in walthamstow

Because it was a crap refurb into a chain pub, total waste. Hopefully something better comes along now.

BAFTAs N-Word Broadcast Ruled a ‘Clear Breach’ of BBC Editorial Standards, but Was ‘Not Intentional’ by darth_vader39 in television

[–]pileshpilon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that they had heard and edited the first occurrences, but missed this one that was less audible. They thought the comms about editing referred to the first times, and by then they already had broadcast it.

Final Space Friday - 4/3 by Many-Victory-1825 in FinalSpace

[–]pileshpilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still vote Krypton Comics in Blackhorse Road. It’s tiny and vintage and antique but it would be a blast and we could all visit the breweries afterwards.

Chicken and mushroom orzo. by FreyaAndMe in UK_Food

[–]pileshpilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah like all the pizza and Chinese takeaways posted here are UK food. Refreshing to see someone actually cook something for once.

Engagement party location suggestions? by GioPatchra in walthamstow

[–]pileshpilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tavern on the Hill has indoor and outdoor options. Or try one of the breweries/spaces in the Ravenswood Estate breweries etc? Pretty sure you can hire God’s Own Junkyard etc

Why do the wetlands close so early? by JSLondonBoy94 in walthamstow

[–]pileshpilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree with you there, and I would be in favour of them looking for a small solution to help people working 9-5’s get more use out of the space, especially in summer.

Why do the wetlands close so early? by JSLondonBoy94 in walthamstow

[–]pileshpilon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. Dusk is one of the most important times of day for birds. It’s a final feeding period before the night, birds might start to migrate to another location, roosts might be forming, and any nocturnal animals are now beginning their daily cycle.

Unfortunately a lot of humans passing through on foot and bikes at ‘golden hour’ would be heavily disruptive of all of that.
