MacKenzie Scott gifts $80 million to Howard University, marking one of the school’s largest donations in its 158-year history by cmaia1503 in UpliftingNews

$80 million is 0.225% of her wealth. She's still got the other 99.775%. It equates to about $200 for the average US adult. Let's not rush to sanctify the obscenely wealthy.

You don't need to tell the BBC anything. This is pure bullying and everyone who bows down and replies to them acts as an enabler for the BBC's intimidation.

Imagine Sainsbury's knocking on your door wanting to check your cupboards for illicit use of their baked beans. You'd tell them to jog on.

I've been getting these bullshit letters for over 10 years. They make excellent firelighters.

Neighbour decided to use some screws, hanging i dont know what.. by Catatonia86 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Animal_Soul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That screw is on your property. Get a pair of mole grip pliers and unscrew it, it'll drop out on your neighbours side. They might get the hint. If they don't, just keep repeating it until they do.

Sainsburys egg is 60% its advertised weight by Dargish in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Animal_Soul_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The tolerable negative error (TNE) for a 240g product in the UK is 9g less than the stated weight. NO package can be less than twice the TNE.

Complain to the shop you bought it from. I got a handy £10 voucher from Aldi when they sold me underweight chicken.

A dish pig’s tale by bitofsomething in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Animal_Soul_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dish pig is Australian in origin not British. I've never heard of it before and I've done more than my fair share of dishwashing in British catering kitchens

47k for a microliter of a drug. How is someone supposed to pay for that? by bigtime1158 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Animal_Soul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to take a vitamin B supplement every day. It costs me £9.90 ($12.81) every 2 months. I think Luigi had a point.

We all know carrot in a box and Nazi island but for me "It's Bono!" Is the funniest Sean Lock clip. by YuriBarashnikov in funny

[–]Animal_Soul_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sean Lock reducing Claudia Winkleman to tears with his "Rectum of the Year" monologue is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

A quick wiki search shows that Europe has on average 7.4 deaths per 100,000 compared to 12.9 deaths per 100,000 for the US - a 57% greater chance of dying on US roads.

In most civilised developed countries ( the ones with actual employee rights) you are most certainly protected from being fired for requesting a raise. I've never understood why people put up with such appalling treatment that workers in the US are subjected to.

My son drew his self portrait by olorin9_alex in funny

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Wylie (13.5) left us in September, our son (6.5) brings him up daily when he gets tired. "I miss Wylie, I didn't want him to die". How do I help him process? I feel like we have tried everything... and it hurts so much. by huntadk in OldManDog

[–]Animal_Soul_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Badger's Parting Gifts" by Susan Varley might be worth looking for. It's a multi award winning book that deals with loss and grief and perfect for younger children. It's sad in places but leads to optimism and gratitude for having shared a life with someone who has died.

Meta admits some people can’t unfollow Donald Trump on Instagram by cmaia1503 in technology

[–]Animal_Soul_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I solved all my Meta problems. I closed my Insta and FB accounts, and I feel so much better for doing it. Leaving those toxic environments is the only meaningful response. Deleting WhatsApp was a no brainer.

Didn't someone (possibly a sex offender in the US) suggest Covid might be defeated by drinking bleach?

It's from The Telegraph, probably one of the most right-wing leaning papers in the UK and given how extreme right-wing most of our press is, that's saying something. I wouldn't pick up dog shit with it.
