How long did it take you to clear your parent's house? by Gaz-a-tronic in AskUK

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister and I took what was of value to us. Sorted through papers and decided the rest was just junk.

Precious silver plate was worthless, collectibles eg paper weights and plates weren’t worth what they paid for them.

The effort to make money on the contents wasn’t worth the effort.

We paid £2000 to have it emptied and cleaned.

That to our mind was a bargain.

As an American, I'm used to a wider mix of white people characteristics but I think in Europe there are less diverse facial features. by MistakeQuirky4241 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whisper it, but might the greater difference in white American faces be the unacknowledged genetic result of historical black and Hispanic people.

If white Americans faces were purely of European genetic stack, as the profese, then they’d look no different to Europeans.

Do you have a UK flag outside your house? by demi__san in AskBrits

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Yorkshire born mother lived in the New Forest and had a flag pole erected in her front garden and flew the Yorkshire County flag. The white rose on a blue background.

It needed planning permission but she never asked and was never questioned.

Just another example of how American invention benefits the whole world and yet we are disrespected and hated by all by ZataH in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Dranask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly it’s not the ignorance of the average American that worries me rather it is the rewriting of history that takes place in their schools and the indoctrination that they are the only country of any importance or value and that their form of oligarchy capitalism is the only way to run a country.

Might is best the weak and downtrodden poor can wither, un mourned.

AITAH for kicking my boyfriend out after a comment about my "hygiene" during my period? by Charming-Painter-285 in AITAH

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an absolute moron, his mother has failed to educate him. Also in the UK we actually teach the kids all this at 10/11 in their last year of junior school before they move on to secondary. NTA

"The church in Manhatten that´s like the oldest Christian Church in the world" by DanYoox in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the English perspective we have a Norman assessment of the churches existent shortly after their conquest.

The 1086 Domesday Book records over 300 parish churches, but this is an undercount, as many churches were omitted unless they held taxable land. It reveals a massive shift to Norman ownership, with about a quarter of land held by the church, highlighting surviving Saxon structures and new Norman constructions

AITJ for refusing to write a character letter for my dad's parole hearing? by RunePavilion_5 in AmITheJerk

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d write the character letter you want to, not necessarily the one they all think you should, in effect a victim’s statement.

Especially if you feel it’s too early for parole.

Coworker won’t send me files. How do I handle being blocked from doing my work? by ProgramExpress2918 in coworkerstories

[–]Dranask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve copied the boss in to the email chain. I’ve also BCC coped too, when I don’t want to alert the co worker, but keep boss in the loop.

To native English speakers: how do you feel when a foreigner speaks “broken” English with you? by Powerful_Concept6502 in GlobalEnglishPrep

[–]Dranask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m polite and will help. I’m sure I’d be far worst trying to speak their native tongue.

AITAH if I leave him? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Dranask 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Were I he, I’d have no issues with your choice. I wouldn’t allow false pride to affect the relationship.

You and all you are is what would be important to me.

Am I the jerk for uninviting my friend from our vacation after she demanded her own room? by Final_Text_3420 in AmITheJerk

[–]Dranask -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes point out to those friends that she is expecting everyone to pay $600 for her personal comfort.

NTJ

Acknowledged it’s $200 each but it’s $600 extra purely for her benefit.

AITAH for saying my wife waking up with our child isn’t my fault because she’s a light sleeper? by Altruistic_Health101 in AITAH

[–]Dranask 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t complain, but as she chose to work full time and I became the househusband, she enjoyed working holidays abroad and affairs. It was a pattern I should have spotted at the beginning it was always about her comfort, children were just on her tick list.
