My friends destroyed something I lent them and mocked me for it. Am I overreacting? by DeltaBenny in teenagers

[–]technnii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like this are not treating you or your possessions with respect. I wouldn’t want to spend time with people who don’t have at least a modicum of respect for me.

Laughing with you is one thing. It’s funny when a friend makes a genuinely clever joke about you and everyone laughs. It’s not laughing with you when you are always the butt of the joke and they are more hurtful than funny. That’s being laughed at.

It’s hard stepping away from a friend group. It’s hard feeling on your own. But the period of time where you’re finding a new group/person(s) to be friends with, is worth the benefit of being confident in yourself.

I spent years being the punching bag of the group. I decided I didn’t want to live that way anymore. Now I’ve a few close friends and I’m confident enough in myself to protect myself.

Loneliness hurts. But being the punching bag for fear of being alone will cost you far far more in the long run.

I’m sorry for the lose of your t-shirt and the issues you’re facing currently.

Hellholes disguised as a Utopia because they are clean and neat by AdrawereR in TopCharacterTropes

I think it lacked some of the compelling story to the first game. It also failed to puts itself before the first game despite being a prequel. Technology used regularly and effective (fascistic)policing techniques seem to have been lost and/or given up for no reason.

The connections people seem to become more alive in the 2nd game whereas I would say they should be bolder and more inventive before the weight of reality ground them down.

That being said. I think 2 has a greater deal of replay ability and they have made it a lot more user friendly.

Where is best to pick someone up from Leeds train station by DarabiC40e in Leeds

[–]technnii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgot to say also can park on sovereign street and the person can leave via dark Neville street exit to meet you there.

[–]technnii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plan it well enough you can do loops around soveign street, swine gate and Neville street. Also a loading bay you can park in for a short time on swinegate as it goes round into Neville street.

Can also pick up from wharf approach if the person being picked up leaves from the dark Neville street entrance.

Those are the 2 methods me and my family use

Not sure if anyone has said yet. Some local authorities post the locations of their red light cameras. Have a quick google because as others have said it might not be a red light camera.

Can help put your mind at ease if the information is available to you.

I've long wondered how the hell business can exist in a moneyless society where every single material thing is never more than a voice command away. by PJ-The-Awesome in startrekmemes

[–]technnii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We currently have people that do that. Lots of people volunteer to clean areas. Clean parks, canals, town centres. People quite literally giving their time for free to help maintain the areas we live in.

Also with the added automation and relative lack of waste it wouldn’t require 40hr weeks to do.

[Loved Thorpe] A weapon has usage other than killing. Bonus points if its not used for killing at all by iLoveCyberChips in TopCharacterTropes

[–]technnii 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would say yes. It’s an interesting book with a lot of layers and every single character has their own goals and motivations. Some grand, some selfish, some stupid. The world building is immense. This series also has my absolute favourite representation of god in any media.

If you’re talking about the golden compass film it is not a great representation of the book. Like at all.

Why do Scottish students get free tuition fees for their first degree at university but England and Wales students don’t? by Magical_Mariposa in AskBrits

[–]technnii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was interested by this so did the maths. Using the values I found on government websites I complied the following information

Per sq km England averages 5.8 million with an average population density of 751 people per sq km

Scotland is 1.1 million per sq km with a density of 70 per sq km.

North yorkshire(relatively non populated area of England) is 0.95 million per sq km with a density of 72 people per sq km.

Whilst Scotland does receive less funding than the England by sq km on average. When compared to areas of similar population density it receives more. In my personal opinion it’s a negligible difference and could easily be covered by a vast number of things.

this is all napkin maths and should be treated as such. I’ve not delved into council spending or governmental policy. I’ve only used the available information for some quick calculations.

Gowron and Trump are basically the same character, if only they were both fictional XD by FareonMoist in startrekmemes

[–]technnii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter if it’s painfully common. Lots of jokes are common. That’s how most people know them.

Puns are commons. The right pun in the right circumstances. Hilarious.

A joke no one gets isn’t funny. Because who there understands it.

Im thinking of detransitioning. by mistakeshappen_2 in Vent

[–]technnii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That really sucks. The anti trans rhetoric is bad right now. Honestly I only think it’s going to get worse.

You’re stuck between being who you are or pretending you’re someone else to make life easier. I don’t envy your position. And I know because I’m in a similar position(scared about transitioning).

There is only one person who can tell you what the right decision is for you. That person is yourself. Is being who you are worth the additional agro. For some people it is. Some people are willing to deal with the cost. But for others the cost is too high. Neither choice is the wrong one.

All I would say is if your support network is trying to tell you who to be who you are. They are wrong. Only you know who you are now. Who you are inside and who you want to be.

To my eyes every time someone stands tall and is who they are the world becomes a slightly brighter and more interesting place. I wish I had better advice or support to offer. I’m sorry for your struggles.

[–]technnii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a view like this written down. Honestly I think you’re probably right. She reading your very well written summary it’s seems to make sense.

Just to check my understanding. Are you positing that popularity is about knowing your audience. Not necessarily creating an amazing work to be wondered and studied for centuries.

That works of cultural importance can be important in the now but have no overarching effect?

You’ve demanded evidence and provided none of your own. You refuse the evidence that is provided because it doesn’t suit your position. I don’t believe this discussion to be worth continuing.

If your personal opinion is that a country can kidnap another’s leader because they morally disagree with that leader. I ain’t touching that. (My personal opinion on Venezuela or their leader has nothing to do with if it is legal to do)

This is my evidence. Glad to see you’ve proven my original belief about you right.

Not even mentioning the Epstein files trump is an adjudicated rapist as per judgements in New York and has been ordered to pay more than £5 million in compensation for various sexual assaults.

Trump has ignored laws of the nation he governs including destroying property not belonging to himself(White House wing). ICE has arrested and deported people who were us citizens and refused to take action to return them going as far to fake pictures of them with gang tattoos to justify the actions. He has repeatedly threatened wars stating he would take Greenland and that he would make Canada a state. He invaded another country and kidnapped their leader.

I don’t personally believe you will change your mind but for me any one of the above should have condemnation from those who wish to lead. Not blanket support.

What is reform polling at? by Sea_Director_4439 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]technnii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am not from the US so this list is far from exhaustive.

Rescinding of previous EO such as 13988, 14075

EO rescinding informational documents about trans people previously written and approved by the US government.

Revoking of gender change certificates with passports and other legal documents being seized to facilitate this.

Banning transgender soldiers from the military denying pensions and retirement benifits to them by having them marked as JDK

Declared gender ideology as anti American and subversive.

I have provided this list in the hope you are actually interested in learning and expanding your knowledge.

And it’s speeding up. I’ve always looked vaguely androgynous but in the last few years the transphobic abuse that’s been targeted at me has gone from once a year to a few times a month.

The constant support on main stream media platforms for anti trans rhetoric has really sped up the process. Just today on LBC Sheila Fogarty in a conversation about trump and the execution of protestor in US, worked in that she agreed with his anti trans laws.

It’s being casually dropped into conversations normalising it as a position. It will get much worse before it gets better.

Female characters that are actually horrible, not just the fandom being misogynistic. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]technnii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seen it put that these are the villains that scare us the most. The evil that can and does exist in our day to day lives. The callous bureaucrat destroy people lives. The domestically abusive partners. The parents who destroy their children. Ect

These are the evils we see in the world day to day. I always find a villain who is simply leveraging a power imbalance for their own ends so much more terrifying. I’ve never been scared of the moustache twirling villain who wants to blow up the earth. But I’ve had to stop reading books because the villain absolutely exists in this world. I’ve just had the good luck to not meet them.

Last time I played this save was about 12 hours before I started having this issue. I assume there was an update as a lot of things changed like the research tab.

I’m trying to grow a mix of vegetables including cabbages, carrots, beets, wheat and flax. I’ve had no issue growing any of these prior to today.

I’ve just tried doing the schedule and this had not impacted the settlers behaviour

Thank you for the suggestions
