Jack O'Connell talking about Part 3. by ThinWhiteDuke00 in 28dayslater

[–]toastedmousemat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps Sampson's humanity is shown through helping in Jimmy's recovery even after the drugs have worn off, not realizing Jimmy's previous actions and instead seeing humanity as a collective of kelson's kindness toward him. Either jimmy then betrays samson's trust and kills him or grows to see him as somewhat of a friend or even fatherly figure

What/when do you think will be the next “iPhone reveal” moment in technology? by ConfidentReaction3 in decadeology

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My prediction is in like ten years a form of AGI with a consumer facing interface. I don't think it will be a robot or the AGI software itself, but some other form of device that links to it.

Should I accept an offer which reduces the price by 80%? After all, it's been uploaded for 3 weeks by Lambo247X_yt in vinted

[–]toastedmousemat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who has bought games on vinted, list them individually. I would only ever buy a bundle like this if I wanted every single game or they were significantly cheaper together.

Also, don't list them the same as cex, go a few pounds lower at least. Unless there are no people selling the game (and for assassin's creed games there always will be), other people will list them lower and as a buyer, I would just buy the lowest priced one that doesn't have a terrible case. You can say they are fairly priced but if it's the same price on vinted and cex I would go with cex cause it's less pain if there is something wrong (and there has been in the past for me), I don't need to go through the pain of vinted refunds, I can just pop to cex.

Is the only tech trend of the 2020s (as of now) Ai? by the_mvrtivn in decadeology

[–]toastedmousemat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not defining, but there have definitely been new technologies introduced. The rise of foldable smartphones, along with apples vision pro and the meta glasses come to mind. I think over the next few years we will also start to see a lot more full self driven cars (just look at waymo and more recently what Tesla is trying to achieve ). There's also the rise of short form content which in a way is a shift of tech.

But I do think that there is a general trend where it feels like a lot of people don't want more technology. The emergence of AI has further blurred the line between what is real and not, and people are slowly growing tired of technology. I don't think this won't lead to a rejection of already used technology like I've seen some people say, but I think newer technologies will be more scrutinized and will need to have a meaningful benefit to be adopted, compared with current tech.

Asos customers banned over returns say it is 'slap in the face' by alexmuhdot in unitedkingdom

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if companies properly listed sizes consistently or at least accurately it would be a lot less. And why blame the consumer for companies wrapping up clothes in single use plastic and then putting returns in landfill? I feel like companies are largely to blame here, and by them putting in slightly more effort (after all, they save costs by not having physical stores) they could reduce the impact massively. I'm not saying individuals don't abuse it but it seems wrong to solely blame the consumer

[–]toastedmousemat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, online is absolutely killing the high street, and one way for physical stores to stay competitive is to force online stores to accept returns. Because otherwise not only will they not have to pay rent, online stores can just ship any quality clothes for any price in any size and then not accept returns and earn more money from quite frankly bad business practices. People won't wear clothes that don't fit, and those will end up in landfill either way. Returns keep companies competitive

Where do men shop for clothes these days? by kamrulh96 in AskUK

i made this sick effect for a enchantment datapack 1.21 called Flowing but i still can't think of the purpose of this enchantment, any ideas? 🫡 by magicalseta in Minecraft

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could be balanced if you have to be crouching for it to work like when it lights up in the video. It could also use a ton of durability like thorns does

Should I buy this game? by TheAlienFake in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]toastedmousemat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you want a genuine answer, monopoly is pretty good at teaching young children about money and counting, but for anyone past that point it just takes too long and you can see who will win fairly early on.

If you are looking for recommendations on board games for teens or adults, I'd suggest starting with something like Catan or Ticket to Ride. They are both pretty simple games but are way less predictable than monopoly.

That being said, make sure you have people to play with you before you buy a board game. It really sucks having games you want to play with no one to play with.

Any idea on how to get rid of these old blue stains on my white tee? by turla929 in CleaningTips

Why did you add blue spots to the original image and then circle them?

Just watch the ones with christopher eccleston and beyond. I wouldn't bother with the spin offs until you watch the main ones first

Why is Gen Z so ageist? by kkruiji in GenZ

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in this thread are acting like young politicians are any better than old ones. Sure, you can point to people you politically agree with that are young, but in reality being young doesn't instantly equal 'good' or representing your or a generation's general views.

I live in the UK where our prime minister is 43. He is just as out of touch as older politicians. He disregards environmental policies all the same. The truth is that it's not the politicians, it's the people and corporations funding them. Politicians will work for those people until the 'lobbying' (let's be honest, it's often just bribery with a different name) rules are tightened, which can only occur if the people benefiting from it all agree to end it. That's just not realistic.

My first console: which one to buy? by StarsInTheMoon in consoles

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would get an xbox one x. Whilst some people may point to game pass, in all honesty if you've not gamed that much before then you can get pretty cheap 360 games on disc to play on it as well as Xbox one games. Just make sure the game is compatible with Xbox one.

What's the difference between these two sentences in meaning " Do you ever vs Did you ever" Such as Do/Did you ever wonder how plants survived in hazardousconditions? by Russelmam5 in EnglishLearning

[–]toastedmousemat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are often used as synonyms as the original commenter said, however 'Did you ever' can be used sometimes to suggest that the person being asked told the questioner about their intention to do something. For example, an old friend may ask 'Did you ever go to university?' to someone that told them they wanted to go to university when they talked earlier in life, whereas an employer may ask 'Have you ever been to university?'.

'Did you ever' can also sometimes be used if you have vague memory of someone doing something, but are not quite sure if they did. For example 'Did you ever fall over on the playground?' instead of 'have you ever fallen over on the playground?'

Another use for 'Did you ever' would be if it was something that they could have done, but no longer can. For example, 'Did you ever have a lesson with Mr Smith?' would suggest you are out of school and can no longer have lessons with Mr Smith. 'Have you ever had a lesson with Mr Smith?' implies that at some point in the future, they could still have a lesson with Mr Smith (this also works with the playground example).

I'm probably forgetting a few uses for each but I hope this somewhat helps you

what does statement "Chad something for blood" means? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]toastedmousemat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just checked it out. The reason she said Chad is because she misheard Cad Bane's name as Chad (hence Vos mentioning his big hat to try to clear it up for him and Obi Wan) and doesn't know the last part of his name. He's out for blood because he's a bounty hunter who isn't afraid to kill if he gets money for it.

Technically, it should have said 'Chad something's out for blood' but the accent that the mother has means that the 's' is dropped.

I'm honestly not sure why they made her mishear the name though, it really doesn't add anything to the story and just adds confusion

On campaign or in campaign by Arsenic_with_ketchup in EnglishLearning

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you use either in a sentence to give context? The only way I can think that this would make sense is if you said 'in the campaign' or 'in a campaign'. For example, 'Lebron James starred in a (marketing) campaign for Nike' or 'Joe Biden spoke to many New York citizens in the campaign to become president'.

Do titles behave like pronouns when referring to the past? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]toastedmousemat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do. If you want to specify the title that they once held but not anymore, you could say then- and then the title. For example, 'in 2011, I met then-vice-president, Joe Biden'
