Triforce!

[@meridanrichardson9631]

As a person who tried to use the tactic of talking to a stranger for them to help me.... and even after obvious hints. They didn't get it and told me to "sell it somewhere else". I ended up having to walk into a pub (big up K.A in North walsham) and tell the lady behind the bar what was happening. And like an angel she whisked me away into their kitchen where I could stay until she knew the man had left. I went back a week later with giftcard to the cinema to say thank you.

[@Poldovico]

Pretty sure strangers aren't gonna know wtf is going on. I've heard stories like that before, and even then my first thought hearing the premise was "don't let a stranger close, they might pull a knife or something".

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Well, now I know if someone does come up to me like that, I’ll try to play along. I’ve never been in a situation like this before, so there wouldn’t be anything that I’d think of.

[@thecanadianguy1662]

Man I love this podcast, gets me through the week, hopefully in the future we could get some Triforce content on the main channel or something

It would propably be a good thing to at least promote TriForce on the main channel. I feel like many has grown now and interrested in this.

I think of Lewis as more of an older brother than a dad

[@Imwritingthisnotefrombeyondthe]

More like the awkward uncle that bought you the wrong video game but you don't want to hurt him so you say you love it.

[@UberAlphaSirus]

I think of him as that fella you are mates with, really nice fella. But coulnd't go to the pub with mates. More a uno-uno mate. Dazed and confused episodes lol

[@E_0mas]

to put sips' mind at ease, I went to university in a big city after growing up in a small town in the middle of bum fuck nowhere, and you pick up street smarts pretty quick. especially with there being such a wealth of people with different life experiences that you interact with and learn from. I was a bit reckless and too trusting in my first year but after hearing a few stories of people be attacked and what not you learn to be sensible fast

[@Quantum_Magnus]

Lol, my dad was stationed in Tennessee and went to graduate school there, and the town he was in was so rural, he called it “bum fuck” Tennessee.

[@NLookeeMusic]

I feel like the walking down the middle of the road trick works because all of a sudden you’re the person not trying to hide your face and keep a low profile, people look at you and think maybe thats the guy I should stay away from. Trying to be quiet usually points you out as a more reserved individual and hence a target.

I'm with Lewis; Rome is worst city I've been to for 'feeling safe'. The landmarks are great, but everything inbetween is dirty, graffti everywhere and street hawkers on every corner. One of the few places i've been where I felt at actual risk of just being mugged on the spot.

[@DocGamer99]

In America, the "flip flops" that Sips wears with socks are called slides, and everyone who I've ever seen wearing slides, also wear socks with them. They are really popular with university students, especially athletes.

We call them sliders in the uk, also popular with uni students

Hey P flax I just started riding motorbikes! Got a 150cc dirt bike to learn to ride, just passed my California Safety Class, which is required here to get a license. Going to pick up a street legal bike this weekend. 1995 Kawasaki KLR 650 Tengai. I'm 19. P.S. if u can convince Ms Flax to get the kids a little 50cc pit bike, they would have a blast, and learn a skill they'll never forget.

[@Quantum_Magnus]

You definitely should keep doing it since you’re clearly passionate about it, but what sort of usefulness does riding a motorcycle have? That is, you implied it when you said they’d “learn a skill they’ll never forget.”

37:50 I've stepped on a plug four times just within the last week in my home. The hell you talking about? 😆 🤣

[@mostlyharmless7154]

We’ve got a third pin in our plugs (UK) that has an earthing wire in it- means typically our plugs will either fall on theirs backs with all three pins in the air- harder to do this with a thin two pin plug that normally lies on its side.

[@RCGamex]

@@mostlyharmless7154 Americans also have third grounding pins on many things, especially if they use more than 100W. Your problem is that your plugs have 1. enormous fucking prongs and, 2. a flat side perpendicular to the direction of the prongs. (I visited the Uk recently and I was amused by the plugs.)

[@Quantum_Magnus]

@@mostlyharmless7154 American plugs have a third pin also. It just depends on the device.

When I want my religious advice from nerds I'll come back to Dongers.

[@Poldovico]

I don't think you're supposed to take religious advice from people. Aren't you supposed to take that from whatever you worship?

[@RCGamex]

@@Poldovico You know, you’d think that. But then think about how often people run across unsolicited religious advice. Especially here in America, there are people who bother you on the streets, people put up signs, people erect monuments, they leave shitty little pamphlets on benches, toilets, and counters. There are commercials, content channels, broadcasts, videos, books, songs, etc. I try to avoid it as much as possible, and ignore it when I can, but it’s everywhere.

I suppose boarding schools could be different where you guys come from, but where I live, a boarding school is not how you describe it. Sure, there are rules, but it's not like a prison at all. It was even one of the best things that happened in my life. I came from a very local little school in a little town where it felt like everything and everyone were the same; Everyone had the same values to an extend where I would argue the environment felt toxic and unhealthy. The promise of growing up in a world like this was very sad and demotivating for me (I was a kid, how was I supposed to know the world was bigger than my current school XD), so I thought about the option of taking a year on a boarding school to try something new and exciting in my 10th grade. After all, if you regret your choice, there is no stopping you from turning back :) Plus, there are so many different kinds of boarding schools depending on what your interests are, so I picked one that was focusing more on sports, hiking and healthy food, located on the country side with beautiful nature surrounding it. Best decision I made. It really helped me grow as a person and it opened my eyes for how many fun and interesting people there are and how different we can be, yet still get along and work together just fine. Sure, there are some bad apples here and there, but that counts for anywhere you go in life. I don't know if boarding schools are that different from country to country, and of course I can never guarantee that everyone would have a positive experience with a boarding school as it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for all the successful experiences from boarding schools out there, including my own, then I don't think they deserve the hate and bad reputation. If someone out there wants to try something new and exciting, a boarding school is a fine choice. Just do a good thorough research to be sure you find a place that peaks -your- interests :) There's a good chance this won't get read since it's such a long message, but I send you my best anyways XD I have a tiny penis, a gaping vagina and Triforce is my favourite podcast

The religious rant at the end I loved cause I agree with it it’s so bad and annoying I’m in the US in California and these religious nuts don’t leave you alone. I respect everyone’s religious choices but by god (no pun intended) do they not respect yours. They’re aggressive and are at my door every Saturday and I can’t remember how many times I’ve politely told them to fack off but now they just send the pretty women to convince me… problem is my GF lives with me and she’s very religious and catholic so I can’t really escape it. At least she doesn’t pressure me and also find these door to door religious people an annoyance and gets mad when they come. They send me hand written letters now too, please help.

[@DartNoobo]

What you apparently do not understand is that preaching work is a part of christian beliefs. Most christians prefer to cherry pick the Bible and ignore this "inconvenient" part, but some chose to obey. So if you think you respect religious choices, then you also must respect religious choice to preach.

@@DartNoobo They could start by respecting my choice in telling them to fuck off

Nah, I think they have a fairly basic idea of religion (as in, only really thinking about the typical western / Christian idea of religion) but they're 100% justified in what they're saying in terms of the type of people that they're referring to.
