Microtransactions.

Can we please just not be fucking ripped off for once? Can we have ONE thing that doesn't extort us?

‘Hard month’ for pubs as UK’s dry January set to be driest ever in c/unitedkingdom

[–] rayquetzalcoatl 1 points 9 months ago

I bloody love a good night out, but I am really not a fan of being rinsed. I know it's London prices and whatever, but the closest pub to me is £6.70 for a pint that isn't Carling, and something nuts like £8 for a double voddy. Couple that with a pack of cigs (£15) and maybe a cheeky little kebab at the end of the night (£10) and you're looking at an easy £75 - £100 for one fun night.

It's rough, because I really do love to socialise. Nowadays I don't drink or smoke for the first half of the year because they're too expensive as habits. If I want to go out in the evening to wind down after work and catch up with friends, I don't want to pay £20 to sit in the pub for an hour or two and then go home - but I can't reasonably afford to do much more than that -- so sod the whole thing.

Jesus, this is still going? I think I'd quite like to see a version that isn't broadcast, and where the unsuccessful candidates get thrown into a woodchipper. Along with the successful ones.

Since when have the Heinz beans been spelt with a z?? But also this is horrifying and unnerving.

Am I a troll? It's so much fun though - does that make me evil? in c/casualuk

[–] rayquetzalcoatl 2 points 10 months ago

True! Anyway, I don't think enjoying winding up the sticks in the mud on here is any bad thing. Wouldn't worry about it mate, fill your boots.

Plenty of time on your hands then 😂

What's happening? in c/feddituk

I don't know about others, but I'm personally not fussed about perks. Plus, building any sort of perk functionality would mean extra workload for the two of you in terms of devving and managing it. But it's definitely not a bad idea, I just know I wouldn't be too bothered either way personally!

Great work maintaining and managing this place! I'm sure we all really appreciate your efforts and your time -- so thank you! I heard some mention of fundraising through OpenCollective, which I'd happily add some cash to - do we have a link?
