Sounds like you could do with a fixer.

I'm in a queue for a shop. No big deal - the new normal. However the person behind me doesn't understand personal space, nevermind social distancing. I keep comically stepping away from her, but every time the queue moves again, there she is beside me again.

What is the correct protocol and etiquette for such situations?

Deploying flamethrower seems reasonable.

Politely ask her to move back.

I had one of these last week before I had to lock myself away for two weeks.

Big smelly backstard, I was paying for my stuff and he starts loading up his items right beside me.

Cashier asked him to move back and he snapped at them telling them to fcuk off :eek:

Some people should be just put on a boat and floated out to sea so we don't have to deal with them ever.

It doesn't always work. I got abused when asking someone to keep their distance, but I think it's always best to at least start with the assumption that people will oblige and only afterwards escalate it if they don't.

Turn round and do one of those about to sneeze faces at the same time give em the evil eye.

Or fart really loudly

Turn around and gaze lovingly into their eyes. even when the queue moves on stay there. stay strong.

if they try to get around you, side step into their way. when they've had enough, sneeze in their face

Here folks,

Have some anagram fun during lockdown.

I cycled to work today and cycled home. Borrowed my dad's bike. Cheating slightly as it has a little motor on it for the really hard bits but still feel I got some exercise out of it.

quickbeam

That's a decent ride. Well done!

I’ve started cycling out to the farm since I got laid off. I forgot how sore your arse gets!

quickbeam

Oh, a saddle cushion is a must. I got mine in Lidl. Keep an eye out.

fixXxer

Yeah the undercarriage gets a bit uncomfortable with all the holes in the road!

Politely say "If it wasn't for covid-19, I would slap you for lack of attention to social distancing" :D

Well my barber shop opened up a couple of hours ago. Yey

Health & Safety stormed in not long after and closed me down. Seemingly, you don’t chop moles off when you chop hair

Happy Easter all!

For example:

Kolido

Don't really get it, it tells you what to draw, you draw it, then it tells you what you've drawn?

I'm sure I'm missing something.

quickbeam

That's basically it, Kol. But you've only 20 seconds per drawing. And it doesn't always get what you're drawing. At least, I'm crap at it, so it doesn't always get what I'm drawing. The artistes among us probably would do better.

sKeith

5/6

Mollyb60

Oh I've actually been playing that for ages. I am terrible at drawing! Especially in such a short space of time.

quickbeam

OMG, sKeith, that's a terrible camera, but it got it, and a brilliant jail, but it didn't get it!!!

quickbeam

I'm obviously as good as Leonardo.

I'm basically Picasso!



How it got hedgehog from that....

If you click on your images after the game ends it shows you how it made it out using images already drawn

We're making A.I. smarter with this, and ourselves...not. That will not backfire at all in the future, no siree

Roko's Basilisk

Scientists' prediction model of how this will go

No, but seriously this is it

I drew what I thought was a decent attempt at 'black cat'. It guessed 'asparagus'. >__<;

A surprising amount of my drawings end up looking like penises to be honest.

That is indeed an excellent steak - and in only 20 seconds too! I found it needed to be on a plate before it recognised it as a steak, and mine was nowhere close as good as yours.

Edit: Oh, Stu's wasn't on a plate, so that disproves that theory. Never mind.

Given how brilliant these drawings are you should all definitely enter my ms paint game

You gotta shill properly! Share the link to the thread! :pac:

Baggly

Oh hey cool a link. Imma enter that!

Mollyb60

I found with that paint game that it doesn't like props. So if it asks you to draw a steak it's only looking at the shape of the steak, not the plate or the peas you put beside it. If it asks you to draw a hockey stick it doesn't want the person holding the stick, just the stick itself. It's very fickle.

Thank you fixxxer!

The AI I got was terrible - and its definitely not down to my amazing drawing skills

quickbeam

No way, Deco! They're great drawings!

Mollyb60

That zebra looks like something I would draw.
