It's a difference in definition of what 'social media' is. Is it the nature of the thing, what it's meant for? Or is it partly a function of how many people use it and how ubiquitous it is? Stop rowing over something that just depends on how you personally define a term, loving hell.

The Good Omens adaptation is really good. For discworld you can't beat the Cosgrive Hall stuff-- Soul Music especially is superb.

Apropos of nothing I just remembered that a long time back, when I worked behind the deli counter at the Cambridge Sainsbury's, I was cutting a bit of cheese for someone when the wire snapped and lashed back across my hand. It wasn't a serious injury but it split the skin and blood went everywhere, and in the moment when I was standing frozen, trying to work out what to do first, the customer - 50s-ish white lady, of course - said angrily "I hope you're not going to sell me that bit!" She was not joking. It was all I could do not to tell her that in that moment I really wasn't loving concerned with her cheese. I never want to work in any kind of food service again. People are horrible.

My new manager is 1) 24 years old and 2) adores After Life. I had to be very diplomatic about my Gervais opinions. Got an interview for a new job in a couple of weeks! Unrelated to her, though, she's all right, she just has strange taste. When I mentioned Meat Loaf died she said 'Is that a person?' in honest bewilderment. fuckin infant baby

Explained ZX Spectrum games to my mid-20s boss the other day. She was astounded. Yes, you had to wait for many minutes, and sometimes it just wouldn't work for some arcane reason, but you see, we had no choice

Endjinneer posted:A bit late, but the guy who gets greased isn't the robot's creator is he? Judging by his craven behaviour and selection for the display itself, he's the junior person in the room. He's the guy that's overwhelmed with pride at going to the big boys meeting, when he's only really there so his boss doesn't have to carry the lever arch files. A comparatively innocent bystander, basically. Yep! I saw Robocop at my uncles house when I was 7 and it gave me nightmares. Not any of the other gore, just this scene. When he puts the gun down but it won't stop anyway. Still gives me chills.

I love St Albans Abbey because it was built over about a thousand years and you can see where chunks of it fell down and they put up a replacement bit in whatever was the style at the time, so it's this very glaring patchwork of non-matching windows over centuries. Count the window types, lmao

Prole posted:Maybe I'm overreacting but I never would. I'd rather go without whatever I've left in there than to be seen entering my place of work for any reason whatsoever if we were on strike. Why, though? How does it damage the strike to go in and get your book? It's not facilitating work, it's not helping the work happen. I'm not being a dick, I honestly don't understand.

The chippie on the corner - every few years it closes down, gets gutted, all equipment removed, then reopens shortly after as another, slightly rearranged chippie, like the counter is the other way round, but it's always the same guys in there. And they only take cash. Definitely money laundering right?

goddamnedtwisto posted:Probably not money laundering - food service has much higher overheads than other retail, and stock in- and outflow is much more tightly controlled, so it's harder to get away with. *Might* be some other shenanigans going on with business loans, taxes and bankruptcy but also might just be indecisive owners. Those serving cabinets and fryers really aren't cheap, so they might even just be moving them around a bit - my local chippy goes through weird cycles because the space is a little too small to allow dining in, but has a load of wasted space otherwise, so every year or two - generally when they're redecorating - they move the counter a metre forward or back to either gain more prep space behind the counter or more queueing space in front. That's fair. I never quite understood why they didn't just move them - they definitely are taking out the equipment and reinstalling different equipment but they might just be moving it between sites. More fun to imagine crimes though, poo poo-all ever happens around here except that one bloke who lives in a tent on the roundabout and sometimes wanders around with a machete.

goddamnedtwisto posted:That sounds like a fairly major happening, given the clutching of pearls that goes on on the Isle of Dogs FB group about people doing nitrous and the jogger who tries to start fights on the Blue Bridge. I'd imagine that sort of thing would cause actual pitchfork-and-torches mobs to appear around here. It had the police helicopters out the one time he actually went into the estate agents and was aggressive about it. Mostly it's just Steve. He's more commonly to be seen with bows and arrows in military uniform he definitely should not be wearing. He needs help but he ain't going to get it. :/

No mate that's probably parmesan. Cheese powder is a specific thing. You could mix up plain popcorn with Wotsits, I bet that'd be all right
