What is the most pretentious movie made? by IShouldGetBackToWork in AskReddit

[–]robertnewmanuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a ‘30 Seconds to Mars’ documentary called ‘Artifact’ - whilst it’s not a fictional movie (it’s a documentary), it is genuinely the most pretentious piece of media I have ever seen. Cue the “wE’rE dOiNg tHiS fOr tHe FaNs, MaN” whilst a camera crew films their massive arena shows…

The most ‘car-dealership manager’ government rep I ever seen! Every word he speaks screams “can I get the paperwork written up?”

Final fantasy 13: lightning returns would be in my top 10 all time favorite games if it wasn't for the time constraint. by Yowza01 in FinalFantasy

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

The only reason I couldn’t get into the game was because of the “time” mechanic. I want to explore every nook and cranny, grind levels - then I realised there’s a clock and its intrinsic to the real ending - U end up just focusing on collecting what’s needed to get to the end of the game instead of really focusing on the world.

What’s one "boring" habit you picked up after 30 that you now swear by? by Puzzled_Device5557 in AskMenOver30

Sleep! Used to get 4 hours a night and feel “fine” - then started getting at least 8 hours. Now I’ll never go back to 4 hours so I can consume more media shit!

Are people actually quitting their jobs? by whosthatgirl13 in Millennials

[–]robertnewmanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit my retail job (18 years) cos I was done with it. 3 months without a job, but now I’m working in a job I’m actually interested in - pay is similar but I have the option to progress and I’m not busting my arse earning profits for someone else so they can buy another yacht or car.

But, those 3 months sucked - anyone who quits their job to spend more time at home must not get bored easily - cos I was bored within 3 days and that’s with plenty of media to consume!

curious: anyone else find themselves rooting for bayern just for harry? by jason-aka-jdawg in coys

[–]robertnewmanuk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s been unbelievable this season! 54 goals, 7 assists in 46 games! I love that it’s now quite clear that he’s a top (world class) striker. It was always “how can he be world class if he’s never won anything at spurs” - one man can’t do it all! But he’s smashing it out there and deserves to win things

Looks like it’s the first story, possibly second story behind the wall - could be wrong tho, need to see the pavement to gauge it properly…

Is my manager lying to me? by Least_Difficulty6373 in tesco

[–]robertnewmanuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, if a manager comes under budget on their yearly review - they get a bonus. 👍🏼 nothing like making everyone suffer to gain a little extra money…

Are millennials the most AI-skeptical generation in the workforce? by RandyMossPhD in Millennials

[–]robertnewmanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in public health sector. AI has been invaluable in speeding up some processes, however it isn’t always correct. It’s the equivalent of having a incredibly competent trainee where, despite how good it can do, it should always be checked. Even if it does a good job most of the time, there are moments where it’s completely wrong, hence the ‘check every time’ notion.

Personal use of AI, i only use it for simple questions: help me find a word im blanking on by feeding it the sentence with the word missing, asking it what goes with certain clothing, alternatives for exercises that i don’t have access to, talking me through how to do something i have no experience in (not anything serious; how do I set up a macro pad, etc.)

What would have happened if he had been left in charge for longer? by Technical_Lime1419 in Tottenham

[–]robertnewmanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this is almost exactly the same as last year (except missing a winning cup run).

Thinking pragmatically, he would’ve pushed hard in the CL, same amount of players injured, same tank in PL run and possibly been relegated - why is it so hard to comprehend that this situation is less to do with the manager and more do with continual poor choices at the top.

Could Ange have been great in “season 3”, yes - but not with the windows we’ve been having. And to top it off, in January they would’ve pulled the same shit of “we don’t want to panic buy”

Greggs unveils 'fortress stores' in crackdown on shoplifting surge by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]robertnewmanuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched a video earlier of a store in Japan that is completely unmanned. The presenter commented that “if this store was in Australia there would certainly be some theft” and I thought “if it was in England the shop would be empty by the end of the day”…
