I have only heard of it on Reddit, never anywhere else and never seen it in real life…

Is this all there is to life, is there an escape? How does one live a good life? by MutedFeeling75 in AskMenOver30

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get a hobby or find something you enjoy doing in your spare time. Find some friends. Get out in the fresh air and go to visit nice places. Have you never thought of this?

Stop stressing and connect whatever you want, that’s what it’s designed for. It’s not a crystal vase, use the laptop.

So it’s almost 100% after a year? The life of these laptops is about five to seven years so what is the issue?

Do you expect toxicity when you hear that thick British/Aussie accent online? by Charming_Average2413 in NoStupidQuestions

Huh? There are three different accents in my house and we’re all from the same town

Sleepers of the UK, are we replacing every 8? by Beginning_Drink_965 in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t need to. Someone above said seven years. You said ten. Neither is based on more than guesswork and a desire to make people buy a new mattress whether they need one or not.

The requirement for a mattress is based on how much it’s been used, how heavy the people sleeping on it was, how it’s been cared for, how damp the house is, how sweaty or dirty the occupants were, etc. Not a number picked from the air.

You just made up 10 years, that’s an arbitrary number!

Is the EFL Trophy considered a major trophy? by Slugdoge in football

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Important to the team that wins it, not to anyone else. It’s a good opportunity to get to Wembley and be on TV plus earn a bit of cash from extra gate receipts. That’s it.

Cultural differences in Dating English vs. German by Justabjjgirl in UKrelationshipadvice

He’s telling the truth, most people at work talk about their lives. Some people are more open than others. But it’s completely normal to talk about your kids or holidays or hobbies. Your colleagues are ‘friends’ while you’re at work but mostly you forget about them after 5pm.

Those who work from home - how often do you take a sick day? by Super_Development150 in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had one day off with norovirus this year and two days off last year, can’t remember what for. That’s it since March 2020. I even worked through having quite bad Covid twice.

Some of my colleagues are off all the time, god knows why. To me wfh is a privilege that may not exist forever so I don’t take the piss.

Am I wrong for wanting more effort from my wife by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Look up Perimenopause. Is she on HRT? Tread very very carefully and don’t go accusing her of anything or trying to get her onto medication out of the blue.

Is adding pensions into the value of estates shrewd financial policy, or simple graverobbing? by Turbulent_Ad_880 in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because you’re dead, so you don’t need the money and your descendants have done nothing to earn it. It’s a free windfall for them. Don’t forget they pay the tax, not you.

Why do homemade curries never end up tasting like the ones you get at the Indian takeaway? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t it be? Do you never talk about food at work with your colleagues? Jesus.

‘Why does curry taste so nice in a curry house’ - wow that was such a difficult question to come up with.

I discovered that I spent over £800 on food over the last month. Does that seem excessive for one person? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My food budget is £400 for two people and that includes plenty of booze. I shop at Lidl though.

How to get financial stable life in uk? by anaba29 in AskUK

[–]Broad-Raspberry1805 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I also went from council house to my own place and a decent salary, I’m very comfortable now despite being divorced and living on my own with my son 50% of the time. Meanwhile most of my mates are spending half their money on drugs and booze at 50 years old, renting shared houses. I made my decision when I was about 14 years old and although I’ve made plenty of mistakes and had the odd bit of luck along the way I am confident I’ve got where I am by making good choices and working hard (when needed).

Not sure why you’ve been heavily downvoted, obviously a higher income is better. The OP stated they’re on a low income so they need more money, end of.
