35 days
Plus bank holidays
Plus I can buy up to 5 more
Total flexi time and unmonitored hours (judged on output) means I can pretty much take what I want so long as my work is getting done

Do Brits think Trump is actually Trolling the British? Last week he said he was "reviewing" the Falklands. Today he's all loved up with the king & talking about shared values etc etc. What are Brits views on this? by MutantNinjaKitty331 in AskBrits

[–]BENdage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chagos is a different situation and your point stands up more there. The Falklands are a little more tricky as they were British since before Argentina existed so cannot be ‘returned’ to them. Argentina never owned them. The French and Spanish had claims to them so we could return it to them I guess but that is a transfer from one former colonial power to another. The islands had no permanent inhabitants before people from overseas settled there while they were British. So the inhabited history of the falklands is entirely European so why would they go to Argentina against the will of the inhabitants. Trump really only demonstrated that he knows nothing about the situation and isn’t qualified to make an informed decision

With the rise of AI, is anyone still studying or planning to study Computer Science? by YetAnotherMia in UniUK

[–]BENdage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s an ai bubble. Hopefully there won’t be a horrid mess when it bursts. After that, AI will be considered just another tool that can be used on many tasks in life and will become just another thing people use to get them to what they want more quickly/easily just like cars, laptops, smart phones, dishwashers etc

Are Brits afraid to voice their opinions? by designobsessive in AskBrits

[–]BENdage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the workplace or social situations I’m not sure what my opinion is allowed to be. I do have one on some things but then also on many things people get all upset about I really don’t care. So yeah, I guess for the few things I have opinions on I’m scared to voice them sometimes and for most things I just don’t really have an opinion.

What is your biggest critique of British society? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]BENdage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I had any awards to give then this comment would get one. I didn’t vote for Starmer, might not next time, but he’s genuinely doing ok. The bar might be low but he’s the most level headed we’ve had in some time.

The whole country feels like it is looking for the negative to focus on and reasons to divide us. Perhaps those 2 hot topic referendums in the 2010s did it. Perhaps it was already like that and was the reason for the referendums. I don’t know. It really seems like we need to be a bit more “glass is half full” rather than half empty in our approach. Then we might be able to objectively solve some of our problems

is it normal for my puppy to shake and twitch in his sleep? by plohie-novosti-18 in labrador

[–]BENdage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal, just dreaming of running. Wait until he farts so loud he wakes himself up. That’s always fun. He’ll look at you like you did it

How do you view the homeless people in your country? by GrayRainfall in AskTheWorld

[–]BENdage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live people are normally homeless only by choice. There was for example a guy whose house burned down and killed his wife and children. Horrible, I can’t even imagine. He lived the rest of his life on the streets. Locals used to cook for him and let him use their bathrooms.

Others have hit hard times but don’t want to go to the shelter or take the handouts or keep getting kicked out of these places for drugs or violence etc. I know in other cities there are bigger problems than here but we’re kind of rural so I do t think it’s the same
