    The most disturbing/weird things you saw IRL.

    I was celebrating new year at a local pub and a fight broke out, nothing out of the ordinary and we knew it was going to happen because there were two groups shouting shit at each other all night. During the fight one of the lads got kicked in the head and went still, when the fight had ended...

    So I want to punch my soon to be ex roomate in the face.

    Don't take the dog, that's just stupid, really. If you do that then the argument "They just want the dog and are exaggerating, look they stole her! How can you trust a thief?" becomes valid. Discuss, record, inform of impending report, report, that gives him every chance to reform his behavior.

    Poll: Are you employed?

    Another baker here, I work for Premier Foods, a British company making Hovis bread as a production worker on the factory floor and my pay ends up in the 30 - 50 range after converting, pretty good for something I walked into with no training or qualifications at the start of a global recession...

    Steam Downloads

    Never had any issues like the OP, the download speed fluctuates at times but its usually fine, 12.5MB/S is the highest I can reasonably expect but 10MB/S is probably the average, and that's with 3 other people online at the time, don't think the problem is at steams end.

    What's your avatar about

    Its a brick, I was once asked to get a profile picture on steam, to "show personality", so I picked the blandest picture I could find. I now use it for all profile and avatar pictures.

    a question for smokers...

    Because I enjoy it and I always have an excuse to wander off by myself and clear my head. I don't even notice health warnings anymore, seen them all, not fussed.

    Poll: When do you shower?

    On day shift I shower at night after work, on night shift I shower in the evening before work, on days off I shower in the afternoon after puttering about a bit, playing a game or two having a fag etc. If I'm off to see a lady I'll always shower before I step out the door regardless.

    Are you a superchromat?

    I got a zero, on first try, more impressed than I should be, my eyes are messed up after several ops. Kinda wondering how you can get -180 which the site tells me is the best score in my age range.

    What's it like where you live?

    Lol, I had to look that up, apparently its world famous, that bests Scunthorpe by a large margin, a very large margin. @SpunkyMonkey I wouldn't say rose tinted, Its just I only have one place to compare it to, and to be honest a pile of horse manure looks warm and inviting compared to...

    What's it like where you live?

    I Live in Leicester, England. Its going to be, or now is not sure, the first city in the UK to have a majority non white British population and is pretty unique place to live in the UK. Its known for a very large Indian population, the largest concentration of Indians outside of India I believe...

    A royal baby

    I'm so angry that the media is acting like being born as a male makes you a boy! Don't they know that there is a 1:300 to 1:1000 chance of "him" being a girl trapped in a boys body?! The damage they could do to "his" little mind is incomprehensible! The fact that "he" is almost certain to...

    Why are jobs so hard?

    My current job is working in an industrial bakery producing bread for a brand called Hovis (any Brits will recognize the name) I hate my job with a passion, I get more burns and scars every week, the conditions get worse, and the management will literally work people till they have a stroke...

    Retaining honorifics in English adaptations of manga & anime: yay or nay?

    Its jarring to me and I wish more effort was put into translating honorifics and terms of respect. Instances like friends dropping honorifics can be represented by them starting to using shortened nicknames instead of full names, it can seem lazy to just stick Japanese words in instead of using...

    What Do You Name Your RPG Characters?

    I just use Nat as my name, good thing Nat can apply to men and woman, yeah I have no imagination, naming all of my characters, male or female, after myself. It seems to work for me though, I can relate to my character better if I address them with my own name.

    Xbox One: We must make a pact.

    Not going to pay £419, which is over $650, for something which adds so little to my living room, seems dumb. Don't need to act out an overly dramatic performance alone at my computer to not buy something, seems... weird. I understand your feelings on this but your manner of expressing them...
