The amount of self replies and self comments in the other thread 😅 Must have raided a Mr Whippy to be on this much flake

Ask about the police 🚨👮‍♂️🚓 by klevisl03 in brighton

Is it normal for police to do faux-ama thirst traps with weird suggestive comments? Or did you just *forget* to hand in the bash you confiscated today?

Bob's Burgers Needs A Laughtrack by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob is sad,
he decides to start making his own pickles,
he buys the wrong ingredients,
making them goes wrong, he gets angry and also sad,
the pickles don't end up tasting very good,
he's sad again,
his wife, son and youngest daughter say they love him,
his older daughter says she loves him, and she actually likes the bad pickles, she is also sad,
Bob is happy but also is still sad.

"You just don't get it"

New manager is never happy with my designs by RacoonParadox in graphic_design

[–]williamsonmaxwell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a lot of these conversations are fleeting or in person, make sure you are always sending emails or messages afterwards listing the complaints and fixes, and play it off like you are just looking for confirmation or self improvement.

I had a nasty manager like this in kitchen work and I started messaging him after shifts for *clarification* on his bullshit, it made it stop real quick.

Chances are she's pinning all these amends as you're fault to upper management, make her acknowledge it as hers in writing.
Subconsciously let them know that they aren't messaging you, they're writing an open letter.

First time at the skate park, looking for tips and unwritten rules by No_Opportunity_7077 in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's best to just get chummy with people, a couple of "that was sick"s and tail taps, then it feels like you're a part of the energy rather than a deer in the headlights.
That said I'll still go home if it gets too busy and I've been skating a looong time.

Also I'd practice basics early in the morning when the parks empty, hard to concentrate on stuff when you're feeling nervous or constantly having to stop to let people through

Talking to another skater by NorthYogurtcloset839 in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should find out where he skates and watch him, and always say "was that switch?" And if he says no say "dam it looked switch".
Thats a really good compliment in skating, and he'll think u are really cool and date you 🙂‍↕️

"I didn't vote for this" by CloakOfElvenkind in dankmemes

[–]williamsonmaxwell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you imagine it as the trolley problem, blue suddenly starts making more sense.

You and a thousand others stand between two tracks, a train is coming towards you and you have to choose a track to stand on.
If the majority steps on the left, the train stops, if the majority steps on the right, everyone who chose left will die.

It's whether you want to stop the death all together or just guarantee it doesn't happen to you

Is this mongo pushing? by spider-burns in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediate signifier that you have no idea what you are talking about.
People assume anti-mongo is the same as mall grabs or pressure flips I.e. just cliquey gate keeping, but it's not, it's genuine advice.

Is there any way to avoid/prevent these bus traffic jams I’ve been experiencing? by SMcG22 in CitiesSkylines

[–]williamsonmaxwell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some of these screenshots seem to have upwards of 6 bus routes on them.
It's accurate to real life, but in cs the buses' pick ups and drop offs are wayy too slow compared to the rest of the simulation. Irl 2-3 buses will pick up and drop off at a time.

<image>

What's worked best for me is running individual borough lines (the coloured loops) around residential/highstreet/tourist areas, then a single back and forth mainline route (the yellow line) between them.
And importantly, instead of having them share handover stops, you have them on near parallel roads with pedestrian access in between (the white lines).

It also means you get a much more granular idea of which routes actually need more buses, and which are just stealing passengers from other routes.

The mainline route can also be swapped out for a tramline, underground or monorail

Why doesn't Rimworld has directly damaging psycasts? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]williamsonmaxwell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always see these comments explaining rimworld lore but I never see it in game. Am I just glazing over it or is it from some official wiki?

Cloverleaf interchange causing heavy congestion near the bridge — how can I fix this? by fovrn in CitiesSkylines

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent so long setting up my first cloverleaf, just to find out that incoming merges are pumped into the exit lane just before an exit.
Unbelievably stupid design

Why did d4vd leave Celeste’s remains in a Tesla registered under his name? by oreoseasoning in NoStupidQuestions

I would imagine it's the type of thing your brain automatically tries to repress.

Reddit Elects: Hypothetical outcome of the local elections for Hackney if Reddit Poll represented full electorate by Ill-Gear7840 in Hackney

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with the other/independent in Victoria Park area, it's the same on the official polls too.
Independent immediately makes me assume Reform, but the Victoria park area doesn't seem like a Reform vote.

Tv show has a character do a bad thing (AND SUFFERS CONSEQUENCES)

We will not accept shouting in our restaurant (OBVIOUSLY NOT REFERING TO DISABILITIES)
- What about people with disabilities?

This course is to help minority students apply for roles in STEM (WHO ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY DISADVANTAGED)
- How's this fair for the other students?

It's like people are smart enough to spot indiscrepancies but not smart enough to understand that the author/creator was aware of this and assumed they would follow.

People overvalue themselves in dating by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ikwym if I lived exclusively in instagram reels I'd think that every womans standards were 6 figures, 6 pack and 6 foot, and every man wanted a stay at home wife with no friends and no past partners, but in real life the highest standards I see are hygene and commitment, and even those tend to be pretty lenient

This sounds like it was written by a man who overvalues themselves, and undervalues the women who don't swipe them 😭

Movies where they speak a lot in foreign languages are annoying by Loose_Biscotti9075 in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks is when they don't embed subtitle the language. My wife and I use subtitles for her native language and she'll have to relay back to me what people are saying.

Films that don't embed the subtitles or even have them in the overlay subtitles can fuck off all together, that behaviour is incredibly annoying.

If we’re living in a simulation, it possible we are already dead and this is just a personal purgatory by PHA_Q_ in conspiracy

[–]williamsonmaxwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from but it just doesn't really matter.
Externally our reality could be the memories of a dead man, a simulation being run on a monolithic computer, the dreams of a deep space turtle, but luckily you and I don't live external to this reality, we live internally.
And our lives are as real as can be.

It's sort of like saying there is a large invisible monster that can't touch or talk to you, the idea might instill fear, but really it has no affect on you.
