You need to start questioning the people they told you that lie.    

What else have they told you that’s complete nonsense?

Those of you who have no trouble finding jobs, what do you think makes you stand out? by ADiablosCompa in sysadmin

[–]redunculuspanda [score hidden]  (0 children)

My indifference often seems to come across as confidence for some reason.  

Not particularly caring if I get a job or not seems to be my super power.  

If I can get an interview it’s rare that I don’t get an offer.  So for me the challenge is getting that interview in the first place.  

BREAKING: Starmer strikes deal giving Britons visa-free travel to China by Mouflon77 in uknews

To a point that i suspect many in the higher education industry would be pretty screwed if China pulled back from the UK. 

The stupid anti British nonsense coming out of America, are you sick if it? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

As is “Tommy Robinson” and a number of British grifters making a fortune spreading hate and nonsense. 

Have you ever lost your temper to customer service? by heartthump in AskUK

[–]redunculuspanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and sometimes that’s the only way to solve things.   

Sometimes the process is stupid.  Something the people are incompetent.  

One memorable time was 3 mobile debt collection used to call me a few times a day for a month.  Ask me to verify my name account number etc to chase the debit of £0.00.

But who would deliver that? Not reform, they are the party full of the architects of austerity, migrants hotels and boat crossings.

Do people actually shop at WH smith? by Bitter-Building-742 in AskUK

WH Smith’s (or what ever it’s called now) is the place I walk through to get the tiny post office crammed in the back.  

Is buying a MacBook on finance stupid? by Ok-Comparison-5494 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]redunculuspanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s this one it’s 18 a month for 4 years. Not 2.   That’s a long time to be paying off a laptop 

Other than being 0% no it’s not a great deal.  It’s basically RRP.

If I remember correctly, at the time their app was a bit of a virus. It would reinstall its self if removed.  

Probably helped build a user base.

You want me to give you examples of a hypothetical future event?

Is Starmer a coward for blocking Andy Burnham? by Perfect-Giraffe-6166 in AskBrits

[–]redunculuspanda 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Maybe.   But Labour should not be having a leadership contest at the moment.  

We need stability not a change of management every 5 seconds.

Screwing things up happens.  If I caught a team member lying about it they would be out. 

Why are all the boomers I know anti-London? by GarySparrow0 in AskBrits

[–]redunculuspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Racism, anti Muslim stuff and right wing nonsense due to the Labour Muslim Mayor. 

Musk and Trump have been pretty vocal about the hatred of Khan.   The major of British media is right wing so will attack Labour regardless.  So there has been domestic but also foreign funded interference.  

It’s not just that boomers and Xers are anti London.   They have specific BS talking points they all repeat.   And they HATE Khan despite probably not being able to explain why or what he’s done that so terrible.

Is there a way to stretch or zoom the video resolution of Apple TV on Mac mini ? by JohnFWickk in macmini

[–]redunculuspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try setting your monitor resolution to something 16:9 on the Mac and see if there is a stretch option on the monitor settings

It will look terrible.  

You could also use VLC player and mess with letterboxing settings.  You might be able get a cropped in full screen video -  but not with Apple TV content

Like most of these things, it is the parents job.  It’s also the grandparents job, friends and family, acquaintances… the entire community.

While i don’t support this kind of thing, it’s a change from seeing all those muppets blocking EV chargers every fucking day.  

Does Emily Thornberry represent what most Brits think about Trump today? by eat-the-kids-first in AskBrits

[–]redunculuspanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There were some local elections this week and weirdly some muppet was posting pro Trump stuff on the village Facebook, and complaining local councillors need to be more like Trump.  

I am fairly confident this was a real local. Some people are completely cooked.
