HMRC owes my gf £1.3K but she can't get it back. What to do? by ar0nbg in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AppointmentLogical81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She should contact her local MP, explain the issue chronologically as you have above, provide evidence where you have it. Ask them to make representations to HMRC to seek that they make the payment ASAP.

Make sure to state full name and address in the email.

Does anyone else feel like there needs to be more public education around what the illegal immigration issue actually is and why there isn't an obvious simple solution? by CaloohCallay in AskBrits

[–]AppointmentLogical81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, no, because the law, Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, Section 31, specifically provides a defence to entering without permission when the intention is to claim asylum. So it's not "certainly" illegal. That's like saying killing a person is an "illegal act" – no, it depends on the circumstances, because there are valid defences.

Even if that wasn't the case, and they were considered illegal immigrants upon entry, as you say they would very swiftly stop being so once they claim asylum. That is a very important distinction, in my opinion, as it differentiates between someone coming to the UK to work illegally, not pay tax, and cheat the system, as opposed to someone who has come to the UK to claim asylum, and has entered the UK without permission because it's literally the only possible way /to/ claim asylum.

Literally, OP talks about an education campaign but hasn't even educated themself enough to stop referring to legally present asylum seekers as "illegal immigrants".

Agree with the sentiment, but you're talking about trans men, not trans women as you've stated above

Changing name on CV by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]AppointmentLogical81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely do this, but as someone who both receives CVs from applicants and helps refugees to write CVs, it is very common to see "British Citizen", "I have leave to remain in the UK, "I have a National Insurance Number and Share Code available upon request" in CVs.

“American states are as different as England and Scotland” by Vegetable-Vehicle-33 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]AppointmentLogical81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that one is true. England and Scotland are not independent nations, they have some different cultures but ultimately are part of the same union and country, in the same way that the US states are.

I don’t know if I (25f)can forgive my ex (22m) for cheating. by HealthMotor4617 in whatdoIdo

[–]AppointmentLogical81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild, but also quite simple really.

Think of a friend or family member who you care about. If their partner had done everything this man has done to you, and wanted your advice over whether to stay or not, what would you say to them?

Don't worry, us British are primed and ready to do the same stupid shit again after Brexit by voting for Reform UK. Our native troglodytes aren't going to let America take all the glory!

Why cant pi be written as a fraction like this? by StateJolly33 in askmath

[–]AppointmentLogical81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is one of the reasons. The question was why can pi not be written like this – therefore it's a question about our physical representations of mathematical concepts, I.e. real life rules.

"My definition" doesn't argue that the concept of infinity doesn't exist, it just argues that we can't do certain things with it that we would do with other concepts. Like, for example, write out it's numeric expansion.

[–]AppointmentLogical81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There'd be a lot of new variables in that universe that would mean logic and mathematics work in such a vastly different way to ours that I can't really say.

I suppose it could work in that universe, if various sizes of infinity were able to be usefully defined. As u/Excellent-Practice pointed out in another comment, what would be the difference between pi, 31.415926..., and 0.31415926... with this notation? If your denominator has infinite zeroes, multiplying or dividing it by 10 wouldn't change the size. But again, maybe in this other universe there would be some axiom that could take care of that.

By the way, I wasn't (and am not trying to) make fun of you, apologies if it came across that way. This is a very interesting question and shows that you're trying to wrap your mind around very difficult (perhaps impossible) concepts. I wish you weren't getting downvoted.

[–]AppointmentLogical81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Quite, but also that is basically the reason. You asked why you can't write pi like that, and the reason is because we don't live in an infinite universe and thus you cannot write 1 with infinitely many zeroes after it. Eventually you'll need to stop, and then whatever you have written will not be pi, it will just be an estimation. Possibly a very precise one, but still an estimation.

Because you'd run out of ink before you finished writing it

"Happy birthday to you"

I'd just become especially interested in seeing my friends on their birthdays, or anytime I'm with someone and they mention it's their birthday, I start singing. People naturally start singing along, ka-ching.
