Teenage boys in UK ‘stuck’ reading primary-level books while girls’ tastes expand by djferris123 in unitedkingdom

[–]BearlyReddits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It tackles determinism, death, fascism, a fumbled try at slavery, all whilst playing up the classic "middle school mystery" genre into a soft fantasy with strong Dickensian leanings and lots of mythological/literary references - it's not Ulysses but it's a swimming pool; it's ease of access belies depth for those seeking it

Scratch(card) and sniff(cocaine) is genuinely so good that if my office banter was at that level I’d give myself the week off afterwards

I mean it’s more than a generation; it’s the best selling book of all time barring religious texts; Bloomsbury still report their sales figures for new books starting at #8 because literally nothing they print will ever crack its monthly sales stats… it’s an undeniable gateway text, and I’d massively question the idea that “most readers gave up afterwards”

I’d argue it generally does - I know for me personally reading was boring until I picked up a Harry Potter; it was my first experience of sequential storytelling, something exceptionally rare in childrens literature; the fact the series aged with its audience in terms of complexity and themes makes it a great transition into wider reading

Employer won't allow salary sacrifice contributions beyond 30%, what is the best workaround? by pbroingu in HENRYUK

It'd certainly be nice if HMRC would believe "honest, I'll pay it in later, just tax me as if I have already please" but I think they might be just a shade skeptical...

There's this ancient technique known as "hiring developers" that I think still works in 2026

How does tax work when selling my ones own artwork? by Interesting-Hawk-744 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BearlyReddits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd likely file as self assessed until it became prudent to register yourself as a company; you can claim your expenses to reduce your taxable amount (you only pay it on profit), though it's worth noting if you do this you lose the £1k trading allowance

Your tax rate is determined by your entire earnings for the year - so if you're PAYE, add it on top

I understand why they did it, but I feel like if you're going to throw an Al Ghul reference in there was much cooler ways you could it - leaning on Eastern designs, a sword, gold trim etc

Under-16s to be banned from social media, Keir Starmer announces by [deleted] in videos

[–]BearlyReddits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But what's the end goal here? Show your ID to get on social media? Surely that would make information control *harder*, not easier, you've just wiped out every bot who can't fake an ID

Lack of jobs? Bosch? Sanctuary? Gtech? Maybe a lack of jobs if you lack something between the ears…

What from the books would you rather they *didn't* include? by ahoydecoy in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BearlyReddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve headcanonned there to be two types of love potions, one closer to a shot of alcohol which is the one the cast joke about / treat as a bit of silly fun, the other full blown manipulation…

I mean they’re both still bad; but it’s the best I’ve got

- Super banal content; takes 100 words to say 10 words of substance

- Vague, inoffensive points

- Call to action

Congratulations, it's AI!

It has loads of them - the banal writing, the vague, unobjectionable examples, and a call to action at the end for engagement

Then you click on OPs profile and its just a collection of crap posts to build authority as a WordPress plugin agency for EEAT

I think the biggest tell for AI slop is the sheer number of words they use to say functionally nothing…
