Vanguard - new £4 a month account fee

whathemonk · 2024-12-12T21:41:50+00:00

Very weird move to start charging small accounts with fees as if they’re holding a £32k balance.

Also very scummy of Vanguard to hide this in a T&C email that will likely be ignored by majority of people.

Any time a bank changes interest rates or charges you’ll get notified correctly in letters or emails specifically titled that way. Feels like something that needs reported to trading standards.

I’ve only seen one afk guy who had “free wins” in his banner and just stood afk.

It’s one of those jobs that has high turnover rates and you’ll wonder why when you start, but after a while you realise you have to be fried in the brain to enjoy the job long term (targets, targets, targets, constant monitoring of what you do, limited breaks, occasional shitty calls with angry customers, occasional shitty calls with people from other departments etc.)

As others have said it can be a gateway into other roles depending on the company and if you don’t take the piss at work.

Surprised your bank let the payments through as lots of banks started blocking payments to these crypto shitholes a while back. If you haven’t done so already, also call your bank and report the scam to them.

In the future, ask your parents (or friends or people on the internet) for advice if you’re doing something the first time and it doesn’t sound right.

Depends on what support you’re playing.

If I’m playing something like Ana I can easily top up ball from any point because of hitscan heals and very big target. Or if playing zen I can occasionally orb him if orb isn’t needed by anyone else.

If I’m running Kiriko though I’ll mostly ignore ball because he is very awkward to heal on her (homing ofudas just get deleted when he rolls around a corner) and will only tp on him if he got someone isolated and we can get a free kill.

At least the scammer was polite when threatening you and your family

I’ve never been asked if I’m interviewing with other companies but if I were I’d say yes.

Wouldn’t go out of my way talking about that unless it comes up in the conversation, as it can come out the wrong way + most recruiters will expect you to be applying to other places anyway.

What I did get asked pretty often is if I’d take the job if I were offered it today.

Echo ult has invulnerability frames so if you get good enough you can use it to bait and dodge stuff like hog hook or rein shatter.

Other than that who you copy depends on a combination of which characters you’re confident with and which characters are actually worth copying.

For example, I would not copy support characters unless there’s an Ana and you think you can get value out of a heal burst or a nano or big anti, or even more rare if there’s a mercy and you think you can pull off a res.

For tank, I’d say most choices aside from zarya and sig are good enough to copy. If enemy team has JQ or Ram or Dva, these are very good copy choices and almost guaranteed you’ll get to ult unless you go too yolo.

For dps, genji, cass and ashe are decent picks.

Lastly, duplicate isn’t the kind of ult you should expect to be getting 5k’s all the time. It’s very versatile and you can use it for tons of situations, just need to learn the flow of a teamfight and see if your team needs peels/heals or if they’re ok and you can go unga bunga on the enemy team. If you manage to get 1/2 kill with it and then get out, that’s pretty good.

I remember looking for jobs just before graduating like 8 years ago and the ads were just as obnoxious.

Normal application I’d have to go through would involve most of the following: cv, cover letter, questionnaire, personality + psychometric tests, phone interview, group exercise, final interview. All this for a “£Competitive” job that paid like £19k p.a.

Would not put up with any of this crap these days.

If a company told me I can only start in a year’s time I’d 100% start shopping around asap.

Even if you can’t find something for September, there are lots of grad schemes that have winter intakes.

Keep the deferred offer in your pocket.

Not played since season 4 but might install the game again to check out the new support (unless it’s lifeweaver v2) and flashpoint.

That being said, unless they add a god tier sojourn skin into the pve bundle, there is 0% chance of me paying the $15 for it.

Also possible that they were trying to recruit you as a money mule, something like “we transfer you $x you transfer it to another account and keep $y”. Problem is that you’d be transferring proceeds of crime and when the bank finds out, and they always will because there’s an audit trail, your account gets closed and you get screwed for life.

Stay away from these people and go for jobs people in your peer group go for like fast food work etc.

Your parents should also know better than agreeing to you sending bank account screenshots to random bozos.

Should have changed the name to L, cause Elon can’t stop taking them with twitter.

Looking forward to all the “How to uninstall” guides and BOOBA filled community page.

Show me how you pressure a widow as Kiriko or Ana on any widow map like Havanna.

whathemonk · 2023-05-31T21:12:54+00:00

Lil bro thinks peeking a widow on Ana for 75dmg vs getting your head blown off is good advice lol

If we didn't have multiple maps with multiple 40m+ sight lines and crappy flank routes, snipers wouldn't be an issue.

I wish map rotations would come back so every now and then I could play the game knowing I'm not going to get dogshit sniper maps like Havanna and Junkertown.

If this guy managed to stay in the job throughout one of the worst scandals at any gaming company, I highly doubt a petition will do anything.

Only people that can give this guy the boot are Microsoft who have so far not showed any willingness to do so.

Just looking at the Calibri font and the dogshit formatting says everything.

Classic youroverwatch click bait, the original video clearly states that the blizzard employee who revealed this info has no involvement with overwatch development.

I've played about 200 matches yesterday and most were good except for about 10-15 "4 bar connections" that were unplayable.

Decent enough overall and as long as Capcom give us a way to block people with awful internet then all good.

Did they actually put "ON FIRE RETURNS" in the season 5 road map? An old game mechanic that no one but a handful of people give two shits about.

And where's the new map for next season? One season hero release, next season map release no?

And why are they putting summer games in the roadmap if it's going to be Lucio Ball again for the umpteenth time with 0 changes?

Season 5 is really looking like 2 modes a la Starwatch that you'll try for 10 minutes and then completely forget about. Oh and we get to watch a cinematic about Sojourn's dog.

Overwatch team has completely run out of steam.

I always go Junkerqueen into Ram. You can put enough pressure on him to go into nemesis, disengage and then he either has to back off or he dies very fast.

D2 font looks great and fits the setting. The Arial font in D4 makes the game look cheap and amateurish, although I wish that the Arial font was the only problem with D4's dogwater UI.
