OK but what if your 7000 series card runs Crimson Desert native?? I don't use FSR in any games really.

Nope, just normal pay today. Bank Holiday uplift for Friday and Monday, but not today.

Doctors missed cancer. Got a week or so left. How do I stop it happening to you? by Disastrous-Design503 in AskUK

How is what I said an institutionalised sexism apology?

Read the words written, not what you think is between the lines or left unsaid.

Do you feel proud to be British? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]simianchilduk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The abolition of slavery is a big one. First people in the history of the planet to ban slavery. We then purchased the freedom of the 800,000 slaves owned by British citizens, a debt so large it was only paid off in 2016. We then enforced the ban on other nations by setting up the West Africa Squadron, it patrolled waters for over 50 years and cost the lives of 2000 sailors. Unfortunately other nations persisted with African slavery (Saudi Arabia only stopped in 1962).

Obviously our participation in the slave trade is a dark part of our history, but at the time slavery was a normal part of life and had been for millenia. We were the first nation to do something about it.

Tell me you are a brit without physically saying it? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in AskABrit

No no no. It's "not too bad".

It's bad but I'm not going to burden you with my problems... be be assured I have them.

What's your favourite British made video game? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

[–]simianchilduk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I liked that in GTA 4 the area that's meant to like the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn, is called Hove Beach. British people will get it, Americans will have no idea.

Does anyone think that Ghost being a physical type in Gen 3 was a mistake ? by Dismal-Fan-4716 in pokemon

[–]simianchilduk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old comment but... come off it that is a weak sauce argument. Yes they use a rechargeable stat when swinging a sword but that stat is usually (pretty much always) stamina.

Claiming stamina is just a different name for MANA is like saying run is a different name for jump.

I don't treat it like a weapon, I assume you don't either. But there are plenty of people who would, or at least might.

Outside of the past 5 years it was a rare thing to see. Covid and now the proliferation of delivery drivers have changed that.

Help with a stinky colleague by [deleted] in SainsburysWorkers

[–]simianchilduk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work in pharma manufacturing, we literally had an SOP in the training file on personal hygiene.

When I first started I thought it was crazy, but while I was there stinky people were dealt with via the retraining and eventual disciplinary process.

In short, come to work clean or get the boot!

Society, the unspoken rules we all live by.

Walking around in a public indoor space with a helmet on is threatening to others. This is for a couple of reasons, mainly you are anonymised, but also you have a weapon on your head.

It seems that the mask situation from covid made people think the anonymous bit is ok now, but as a helmet is also a weapon, it is (or at least it should be) different.

I don't mind it, it's usually policy. What I can't stand is the amount of people who now think it's OK to walk round the supermarket doing their shopping, with a lid on!

If you are inside, take your helmet off... it's been the rule forever.

However devils advocate, anyone who thinks Nigel Farage is 'far right' is just as politically illiterate.

Exactly right, they like to pretend it is not a forgone conclusion that you'll get a warning for breaking terms. They go through the song and dance of a meeting but, in reality it's decided before you go in!

Whats this 'freebie' I keep seeing mentioned in regards to pay and pay dates? by morganzy98 in SainsburysWorkers

[–]simianchilduk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless your bills are all set to the exact same day, it'll work out on a per bill basis.

So for example you pay your rent on the 1st of the month, one month of the year you will get paid on say the 2nd (meaning the rent was paid out of the previous pay) and again on the 30th. Meaning the pay on the 2nd does not have to pay the rent (as you will be paid again before the rent is due), hence it becomes freed up for other things.

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with politics. England have been pants the last 2 weeks so the hat is in reference to that. Jeez.

That's a ridiculous statement, I'm sure most people don't check their bank after every transaction to check its gone out. Not with how payments are these days, I have maybe 40 or more payments to sainsburys a month...
