  It entirely depends. Old is good when it comes to some things, and new is good for others.

  You probably shouldn’t use your 20 year old hot water bottle, for example, even if it’s worked for 20 years. Your old boiler might be working, but it’s on borrowed time with each passing year. You don’t need a new phone, but it might do things better than your old one that you specifically like or need. That old chainsaw you’ve been holding onto might well just give up the ghost dramatically some time.

  Something working doesn’t mean it’s working optimally. It’s ok to want a better thing, or a safer thing, or a thing more suited to you, or even a new thing for the sake of it.

  Relentless chasing, like those robot dogs from Black Mirror.

  This could be a chocolate selection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thinking a tip is owed for anything is being wildly presumptuous. Nobody is owed a tip, never mind a tip of an arbitrary value below which you ascribe people as cheap. Wise up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m neither being a cheapskate nor acting like it’s a noble cause. Not sure what you read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I tip nothing for drinks, maybe 5 or 10 quid for a meal (for 3 or 4). Pay your staff so they don’t need to rely on tips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Debatable⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it look stupid or really stupid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still at a yotal loss as to the purpose.

  The button positions never move, only the letters or colours. You don’t look at your hands when you’re playing, so I don’t get why you’d need to swap buttons at all, outside of a game menu.

  If you’re used to blue being left or X being bottom or whatever, do that in the menu. Your thumbs can’t see the buttons so it makes no difference. You have bought a controller to do what a menu does for free at the click of a button (a button that means whatever you assign it to mean).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I understood about a third of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you physically switch the buttons when you can just set up their layout in the menu in each console? It doesn’t matter if a button is red or blue, X or Y. Only the position matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be worried about a 277 year old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody uses the white emojis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use any, black or white. I ain’t racist and have words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handling malicious coworker advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This person sounds like trouble, always with an axe to grind, real or otherwise. What kind of person has a hissy fit because they didn’t think you said enough nice things about them? Avoid like the plague.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Working at fast food and constantly dealing with this kind of stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t say I’ve ever been asked breast or thigh at KFC. It’s not an option to choose from on the menu items, and it’s clear if it’s a burger, leg, breast or whatever on the menu.

  You’d need to pay me 250k to have breakfast with the sentient racist Kermit.

  You wouldn’t have the illness, being invulnerable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best is invulnerability.

  Worst is mind reading, if you can’t turn it off. Or Squirrel Girl being able to talk with squirrels only.

  Most practical is telekinesis.

  I bet most have gyms as well.

  Yes. Totally normal to have regular mild snoring at any age.

  I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seems to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.

  Susie Willies. I bet she does.

  How does she deal with stairs? What about a footstool? Two on, two off? Can she gallop? What would her drum kit be like? How would she fare in mma?

  So many questions.

  I can confirm I can do the other things but can’t do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line.

  Um…yes, largely. That’s how the dynamic works. They do understand some words, though.

  Why would you leave the handle on there? The whole thing has wild, but a bit better planning and some big cushions and it would work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most employers in my experience want the detail of what you were doing. They don’t like 2 year blanks.

  Having multiple jobs in a few years doesn’t show you are unreliable at all. There could be a number of reasons (short contracts, change of ownership, company closing, moving house, having kids, conditions changing) that forced your move.

  I’ve got jobs in the past because my CV showed I was able and willing to take jobs when opportunities came my way.
