Just because people may not have the cognitive ability to understand money doesnt mean they shouldn't be fairly paid.

Pretend to be someone delivering another package to yourself but you're out so you'd like to leave it with them. That'll get them to open up. Alternate comedy answer: Sorry, they're taking your drugs and watching your copy of Frozen and you'll never get either back.

I still find it a bit hard to adapt to the absurdly high levels of trust associated with deliveries here in the UK. Leaving stuff with the building manager is fine, but completely random neighbours? That just seems weird on so many levels. I mean don't get me wrong, it's absolutely awesome that I can order something and usually find it next to my flat door because the building manager received it and put it there and no one stole it, it's like a miracle. I'm still not ordering anything worth over £100 because let's not tempt fate.

It is annoying and weird and you should be able to specify just to leave it at the sorting office.

There was briefly some guy shouting through the letterbox just now and the lights are all off. First time I've had something delivered to my house rather than work. Never again.

I have no idea what the gently caress is happening with that house, but during the day things seem pretty normal and friendly and regular, then when the sun goes down everything just gets weird as described, so I think I'll put a pin in this until tomorrow.

One of the household members might work during the day and might be an abusive alcoholic, but then again I'm 100% pulling this out of my rear end.

Bad news, educated friends. According to the Adam Smith Institute, universities are worryingly lacking ideological heterogeneity, as too many lecturers are left-wing. This means they agree on everything and to prevent dangerous groupthink universities need to introduce ideological hiring policies to ensure more right-wing views are heard on campuses. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2017/03/02/eight-ten-british-university-lecturers-left-wing-survey-finds/

They ruin the whole point of the endevour.

McGuinness who was ailing as gently caress at the time brought down (technically him and) Foster's administration because she refused to stand aside for an inquiry into the RHI scandal.

But now that everyone is doing that it's contributi greatly to congestion on the city roads. Better to use an amazon locker out where you live. Unless you live as central as your office, in which case it'll make no difference

OwlFancier posted:I invariably play a pretty good character in every RPG but I like ones that give you the option to be a dickhead because a game that railroads you to being nice doesn't really connect as well as games where you elect to be nice. That's sort of an aspect of the medium, that the player has agency, and what separates it from a linear narrative and facilitates its ability to communicate with the player.

As well as the many plausible reasons offered I'd also suggest that they're fearful of bailiffs coming around. Communication through the letterbox is the only safe means of speaking to bailiffs. Guavanaut posted:Different thread, but it's more relevant to UKMT than Youtube. There's an anti-radicalization CYOA where no matter what you do your character becomes more and more fash before eventually getting involved with sufficiently celtic terrorists. that I saw a few days ago, I think it's part of Saatchi's anti far right campaign. I can't find it anywhere now though. How the gently caress does that work? Sounds about as effective as insisting that weed is a gateway drug to injecting heroin into your balls.
