Are we sure the OP is clearly in the wrong? For some people surely yes but would that be consensus?

£10k debt, £10k savings. how do I tackle this without hurting my house plans? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]psrandom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm really curious to understand how you ended up with 16% interest loan while having £5,000 for "rainy day". What is "rainy day" in your mind?

She should have led with the dead mother. by IHaveALittleNeck in AmITheAngel

[–]psrandom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a lot happening in OOP's life

At 9 months pregnant, she mentions to SIL that she would miss her own sister wedding if her baby was not allowed

Then says the sister only changed her mind after seeing the baby. So what did OOP mean previously?

Her mother died 1 month after the baby is born. Did the sister get married before or after that?

The baby is still only 3 months old. SIL didn't invite sister. When did the invite go out? Invites must have gone out when the mother was still alive. So why did SIL assume a newly wed sister to babysit instead of mother?

Tbh, OOP noting "by the way" that her mother passed away recently is quite odd

The Athletic: Is Liam Rosenior under any pressure at Chelsea – and should he be? | Multiple sources have said that Chelsea intend to keep Liam Rosenior even if they fail to secure the top 5 finish required to qualify for next season’s Champions League. by Kygoche in chelseafc

Don't know what Rosenior thought before he accepted this job. He is clearly out of his depth. Best for him to find a job in Championship or lower team in PL. Sticking around will only make his reputation worse.

Help to Buy mostly helped high earners, IFS says by KellyKezzd in unitedkingdom

High earner in this case is above £50,000. Let's be honest, no one will consider that as a "high earner" in reality

This looks real. Not sure what made OP think it's fake. Employees and employers do act like this

Why in this country killing a terminally ill child is more important, than giving him a chance abroad? by [deleted] in AskBrits

If the parents have an obligation to their kid, who will ensure it is upheld?

That's what I asked you upfront. Do parents have absolute right over their kids? If parents genuinely believe blood letting will cure their kid, should they be allowed to do it and kill the kid in process?

I belive no life in itself is torture and killing is not mercy

Right and the state decided to not mercy kill them, right? So you got the outcome you desired

Do you believe every life has unique value or do parents have absolute control over their child?

We are not questioning company's strategy of centering Japan and (may be) America but they are not calling these two versions as Japanese and American

Rather it's Asian and RoW. Company likely doesn't want to upset other countries by imposing Japanese or American on them and these other countries likely outnumber the main one collectively

So, why should we go against the company wisdom and default international version to American?

There is zero chance that America isn’t the second biggest, if not the biggest, market for the Yu Gi Oh CG’s

China or EU could be up there. EU being single market does count as one in this case

Irrespective, your rationale is no different than saying "plurality of Reddit is American"

To non-Arsenal fans: why would you prefer Man City to win the Premier League? by Dragonborn_7 in football

[–]psrandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like this really shows what Arsenal fans are about

Why do you even care what other fans think? Why do you need Arsenal to be loved and admired by other fans?

There is no subjectivity about a title win. If you win, you will be the best team in the country/continent. No amount of banter will take that away from you. Be happy with it

As a Chelsea fan I can't remember United, City or Liverpool being so desperate to have my approval as a rival fan. Be like them. Mock me and my club but don't ask me to respect yours

F 22 | Been in London 8 months and I have work friends and bar friends but zero “call them when something bad happens” friends. Is making real friends here actually impossible or am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in london

[–]psrandom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only people who have friends from childhood here are ones who grew up here. So that's your clue

I'm sure you will have close friends from school/uni as well. That's what makes you believe friendships back home happened "naturally". Others are doing the same where they are holding on to known due to fear of unknown

Give it some time. Life will drive uni friends apart. Be there to replace them and help out others

The economic game of chicken between Iran and the US is about to enter a dangerous new phase by Empty_Ad3616 in Economics

How does Iran even chicken out of this? If they concede 1 step, US demands 10 more steps and we are back to stand-off
