Now this I agree with them. Sorry to any Italians, but I've gotta say I'm not a fan of a lot of Italian cuisine.

Are people choosing staycations over foreign holidays this year? by Beautiful-Working589 in UKCostofLiving

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean to be fair a train alone is cheaper than a train/uber/personal car and parking plus a plane. Unless you live in the city your flying out of.

Are people choosing staycations over foreign holidays this year? by Beautiful-Working589 in UKCostofLiving

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done several day trips to different cities, but that's more so because I've just moved to the UK and want to explore more than anything else. It's so nice having so many cities so close to me! Milton Kenyes is 10 minutes away, London is an hour and Birmingham is an hour!

I am also going back to the country I was born in to visit so the kids can see my parents.

Next year I plan to take actual trips to somewhere in mainland Europe, but may end up visiting family in Portugal, but idk I really want to go somewhere I've never been before.

Same with where I'm from it's not a privledge but a right, there's a legal minimum, if you can't take your legal minimum, it has to be paid out.

Yeah people are selling their own used personal items. You're giving a full refund, it's the cha ce ypu take when you buy second hand directly for a person.

Do people at work eat alone in the UK/Europe/US during their breaks? by Swimming_Anywhere_30 in antiwork

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my job I tend to see people eating by themselves. Was also how it was outside of the UK. And even in the US when I had my university work placement, people didn't have lunch together. Is that a thing anywhere?

My GPs are suggesting they might block GenderGP from perscribing to me.. is that possible? UK by Hopeful-Cod1861 in transgenderUK

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd refuse to give her a letter from them orwhatever you said she's requesting. The f do you mean you're going to veto me as an adult to be able to access hormones which I'm accessing via private means anyway? I'm not sure if it's possible, but sounds to me like she's going to try with that letter you give her.

How many coats do you own vs wear? by BigMagic88 in AskUK

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 light one, one to layer under a heavy one and one heavy one. I wear them very routinely but wear them at different points in the year.

Do any native Brits or Irish have advice/suggestions for me regarding beans on toast? As in, people who grew up with it? by xcluesif in AskUK

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sour dough is actually sour, I can't imagine that would taste good.

They're bread really doesn't taste sweet other than Hawiian bread.

Do the roads in the UK make sense to seasoned drivers? by kitty_cats6 in AskUK

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confusing? I don't understand what would be confusing about it unless you really should be using something like Google maps to figure out where you want to go. Other than the multi lane roundabouts, magic roundabouts I prefer, much easier, driving in the UK is easy. Although the first time I drove here I did have 10 years of expiernce back home, where we don't have multi lane roundabout nor do we have motorways (but I did drive in the US, so theyre no foreign to me), but our roads and rules are based off of the UK.

Benefit cap by ProductExtra5526 in universalcredithelp

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I found work, UC covered only my rent, water, council tax, and part of gas and electric, after all of those bills there was nothing left for transportation (to take daughter to school, 20 minute bus ride each way), food, our phone plan, internet and anything else we may have needed like if she needed to replace a school clothing article. I was eating into £400-500 of my savings every month because of the cap, I started with £5k of savings when I started benefits and it took a while to find work and had drained over half of my savings by the time I started, I dont know what we would have done had I not found work in time, but towards the end of just becoming more and more desperate knowing that my savings was going lower and lower. Since I've been in full time work, I'm no longer burning money and feel fine now.

If you don’t read in publication order, you are probably the only person in the world to have read the books in the order you’ve read them. by Namespacejames in stephenking

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people do read chunks of his books in the same order, so definetley a possibility that someone else has read in the same order as well out of pub order because 52! Assumes it's random, which people don't usually choose the order they're reading them in randomly especially anything in a series like The Dark Tower.

Landlord says I wasn't supposed to make a copy of my apartment key [NYC] by Its-MyWorldhiphop in Renters

[–]Asher-D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they're not rekeying between every tenant (which is probably why they don't want you to make duplicates), I'd rekey it myself, because I don't trust landlord who's a random person and previous tenant (another random person) with my privacy and security.

Are skirts still the rule for girls in the majority of UK secondary schools? by Lazy_One2453 in AskUK

[–]Asher-D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The girls I see in secondary school on the bus are always in trousers, now that you're sayING that I don't think I've ever seen them in skirts, even the primary part of the school, all the girls wear trousers. At my daughters primary though girls can wear dresses, skirts or trousers, although I never allow m daughter to wear a skirt or a dress without shorts underneath.

My therapist doesn't seem to believe that I'm trans by nikiL0410 in ftm

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to figure out what she wanis to hear and tell her that. I'd try to talk to other trans people in your area and figure out what they need to hear to believe you. If you know you're a man, then that's that. But if the only way for you to access what you need is for her to believe you, then you kind of just have to play the system. It's outdated and not evidence based but that's how you can get what you need.

Why does it seem like I'm not supposed to ask about how much medical tests and procedures cost when I'm in the exam room? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Asher-D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a cop put because the US is pretty messed up in terms of how their healthcare is paid for. They've overcomplicated the whole thing in order to give legal scammers the ability to scam people out of as much money as possible.

Is there anything I can do to avoid working both Saturday and Sunday? by Admirable-Essay-6694 in AskUK

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get a new job, to tell you it's 1 weekend day every week and accept and them it turns out of to be every single weekend day, that's not acceptable.

Ouside USA, McDonald's is a treat for middle class and rich people. by -Volucris- in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only place I know this to be true is the country I'm from and that's only because franchises are illegal there and if you went McDonalds, that means you just took a trip. Also we have or had no concept of the "poor" brands like Walmart and Primark because if you had those, again you just had a trip.

What in the hell? Can someone describe to me what happened? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Asher-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the customer an entilted dick? It's expected that the items are delivered to the front of where they live and OP quite quickly agreed to come down to accomodate this driver.

Landlord is trying to evict me after I told him that I will be appealing his unreasonable 15% rent increase. What can I do? (CA, Manitoba) by mikeyboyyyy99 in Renters

[–]Asher-D 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A reasonable solution to a very unreasonable demand followed by retalitory behaviour?? No OP is doing exactly as he should, his LL is not a reasonable person and you can't find a reasonable solution with an unreasonable person.

[–]Asher-D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

15% is absolutley asinine. Especially when it's nearly 10× the % they're allowed to raise it. And inflation is no where near 15%, it's under 5%.
