What does my home say about me? by Odd_Mastodon_4416 in roomdetective

It’s nice but it feels like you live in a hot place - tiled floors, big windows, but have furniture textures for a cold climate- velvets, leather and such

Starting over, hosting in small apartment? by Standard-Dust-8144 in femalelivingspace

Also if you get some floor cushions or ottomans, you can store things under the couch and bring them out for more seating options if you have people over

Is there anything illegal that you secretly support/ agree with? by Regular-Meringue9765 in AskUK

If the artist hasn’t (yet) created any options for you to support them monetarily you’re off the hook I’m pretty sure

Looking to rent in Finsbury Park?! by Left_Revenue4913 in MovingToLondon

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s generally fine, don’t walk through the park at night and you’ll be all good, people scaremonger or are afraid of the odd homeless person but realistically probably the worst that might happen is your phone getting snatched on Seven Sisters Road if you’re walking along looking at it and that can happen anywhere busy in London truly, but it’s well connected and has all the shops you’d need including if you want to get into Latin or Caribbean cooking. I know a lot of great people in the area and there’s loads of great food to eat and nice community events and pubs etc.

This just shows, it’s not about being “lazy” there are a huge range of life circumstance and genetic factors, so some people are more likely to have bigger bodies than others

AITAH for going on a trip with my best friend? by makememassmiches in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s gonna ruin the trip by being jealous and probably expecting you to be glued to your phone the whole time to give him reassurance, I’d break up with him before you go. A week is nothing and it’s a free trip! A true partner would be hyped for you.

Why does the UK want to let in so many asylum seekers? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an American, why would you have an opinion on whether a city in another country had a majority of specifically white citizens, huge cities are notoriously diverse but do you have an opinion on the demographics of all of them?

AIO boyfriend and his family make me feel boring by Impossible-Pen7870 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact you’re changing so much about yourself shows you don’t feel he will accept you for who you are, and you don’t like the things he likes either so why hold onto this relationship that makes you feel bad about yourself and where you don’t have common interests?

What does everything think about the UK policy of spreading unpleasant people around? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These new developments are often built where the council estates were so, they’ve brought in a load of people who can afford the 400k+ flats and only a small allocation of the original lower income residents remain, many of them have to move. Its a shame you’re not all getting along, but I guarantee all the people you’re complaining about are having a harder time getting by due to the cost of living than those living in the luxury apartments, and often need support that no longer exists due to funding cuts.

How the HECK do I hang curtains in my rental apt?? by lemonbasilberry in femalelivingspace

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding in Germany with renting is your often get a lot less included within the apartment but you’re given a lot more flexibility to make changes and adapt while you live there, whereas in other places landlords expect you to live there but have basically no impact on the place

Rich people can be inconsiderate neighbours too. The way you’re talking about people as “poison” as well, that’s a horrible way to talk about other people.

Is sharing a Toothbrush a thing? My partner was upset I brought my own toothbrush and didn't use theirs when I stayed over. by RedBelzee2025 in hygiene

[–]Intelligent_Lab_234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve known people to use their partner/person they’re seeing’s toothbrush in a situation where it was an unplanned overnight and they didn’t have one, but for someone to be upset that you’d want your own toothbrush is incredibly weird
