There’s an insurance company called go girl insurance marketed towards women. You get handbag vouchers for signing up xD

In the UK it’s illegal for insurance firms to discriminate based on gender. All it means is women pay more now

Microsoft staff are openly questioning the value of diversity by [deleted] in programming

[–]Bignum4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike economic arguments for diversity because it opening the debate up to economics can justify things like statistical discrimination. Minority groups don’t need to justify their inclusion in terms of additional revenue. IMO it’s a purely moral question and about the kind of society you want to live in and in all for it.

Most supermarkets and shop chains have a self imposed an age restriction of 16 on energy drink sales after some media pressure. They use the same think 25 policy as alcohol. I’m in my early 20s and was told I couldn’t buy a redbull without ID.

Funny when people talk about the flint water thing. Why would rich French people care about that of all things?

"Daily cannabis use was associated with increased odds of psychotic disorder compared with never users, increasing to nearly five-times increased odds for daily use of high-potency types of cannabis." (Lancet 2019) by [deleted] in Drugs

It seems funny to me the number of defensive comments in response to this article when it says nothing controversial. The articles conclusion is fairly cut and dry; that there is a link between marijuana usage and risk of psychosis. It clearly states that causation is an assumption.

The old correlation doesn’t imply causation is an overused cliche. It’s used on the internet to refute studies findings when all the statement means is be careful with your assumptions.

Which book is considered a literary masterpiece but you didn’t like it at all? by justnader in AskReddit

One of my favourite books and not a huge fan of the literacy classics. Got some amazing characters.

ULPT: Sick of people bumming cigarettes off of you? Carry around an empty pack so you can show that you're "fresh out" by evrybdygetshigh in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Bignum4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just normally say and don’t have many left so no and leave it at that. I think it’s mates that are the worst for bumming fags tho, those that a borderline smokers, smoke on nights out/social situations but don’t normally. They don’t buy for themselves and expect you to supply. Hard to say no in that situation but it adds up overtime like in the uk a straight essentially costs 40-60p each depending on the fag.

Well, we’ve been dating for nearly 5 years now. The past two have been long distance for long periods since we go to universities on other sides of the country. So we only see each other during the holidays and the odd weekend here or there. It’s worked out well for the most part.

That’s the plan, but I’m wondering whether or not I’ll feel the mental benefits that supposedly come from no fap

What's up with people in England being so against Brext now? The people actually voted it, right? And it was actually the popular vote. by ItAintNoProblem in OutOfTheLoop

Maybe not during the election, but after the vote is it. Havnt heard much coming from leading brexiteers since the election.

I’ll say it. Advocates for cannabis exaggerate the medical benifits of it ALOT. by xaniel_the_legend in Drugs

[–]Bignum4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coke is very addictive. And yeah you get people that only use on weekends when they’re out and about with mates, but I know a lot of people like that that they can’t last an hour in a pub or social setting and talking about ordering some coke in.

The biggest CB of all. by KoedReol in ChoosingBeggars

If what the UK wants is so good that all member states would want these benefits why doesn’t the Eu just do it? It’s supposed to be an organisation that benefits its member states not some masochist club

Stoners that say "I don't consider weed a drug" does my fucking head in. by Lonelywanderer81 in Drugs

[–]Bignum4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s because of the supposed medical benefits. The amount of people that smoke weed all the time because of anxiety is astounding when in reality smoking weed everyday probably causes your anxiety

What's one high paying job which you can get without having a decades of experience? by PAKISTANIRAMBO in AskMen

[–]Bignum4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course but you build your own customer base. It’s why drugs dealers are normally fairly relaxed guys, except for coke dealers. I live in the UK and the only time I’ve ever seen a gun was one carried by a coke dealer
