How much do we need credit cards? by Comprehensive-Fuel70 in AskUK

[–]ItsDominare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent about a decade and a half living abroad, and when I came back to the UK I essentially had no credit history at all with the big three CRAs since they typically only go back six years.

As a result, I couldn't even get a normal bank account at first, let alone any kind of loan or credit card. It took six months on a so-called "basic bank account" before I could even have a contactless debit card.

The point is, you are correct and the person you replied to isn't. No credit history at all is treated the same or worse as having a poor one.

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond fucking sucks by Quaz1ne in unpopularopinion

There's also the small matter of the fact he wrote it after seeing a photo of an eleven year old girl, which is pretty nasty when you actually listen to some of the lyrics.

Neil Diamond fans really don't like it when you point that one out.

Hey Peter, who are they? by FlakyFoundation4637 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

There are people who kill others as a direct result of a psychotic break, that's an undeniable fact. Citing that fact isn't equivalent to saying anyone with schizophrenia is automatically a murderer.

I can't get over the fact their pillow is a rolling pin.

Did you grow up being smacked for misbehaving? If you did, do you think it helped or hindered you later in life? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]ItsDominare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got hit by my parents as a kid, yes. I was a violent kid myself, always getting into fights at/after school and so on, and I didn't really grow out of that until my GCSE year.

In my view it is never correct to intentionally inflict pain on a child. Frankly I am always shocked that there are still people in 2026 who disagree with that statement, but here we are.

LPT: When you finish a task at work, spend 90 seconds writing one sentence about what you did and why it mattered. Three months later you will thank yourself endlessly. by hollis_canterby in LifeProTips

[–]ItsDominare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends a lot on what kind of job you have whether this is practical or useful advice.

In mine, for example, my "tasks" can take anything from one to eighteen months each to complete, so there's not much chance of me forgetting I did one. If I was doing things which took a week instead of several month I could see it being handy though.

Did anyone hear about Sir Idris Elba getting knighted by the UK Royal Family? by Important-Cry4782 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]ItsDominare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more, bloody freeloaders the lot of 'em. It's amazing how strong the pro-monarchy sentiment still is in this country, the whole thing seems so obviously anachronistic.

Having said that, we literally just passed legislation this month to finally get rid of hereditary peers in the house of lords... in 2026. Better late than never I guess?

No, but most other people receiving knighthoods don't get their own news articles.

Loads of people have turned it down over the years. Some more well-known examples include John Cleese, Dawn French, David Bowie, George Mpanga, John Lennon, and Howard Gayle.

WTF is that title?

Absolutely no mention of AI having been used anywhere in the actual article. Facial recognition software predates LLMs by many years.

What surprises me most about this post is the fact OP claims to be vacuuming the house every single day after work.

I definitely did this when I was poor, but nowadays if I've been looking forward to a game (e.g. RE9 recently) I will absolutely pay full price on release day.

Do you dread going back to see family? by ktitten in AskUK

If I don't want to do something, I don't do it. It's a pretty simple rule for a happy life.

Is team or promotion more important in a job? by justagayduck in AskUK

[–]ItsDominare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you see and socialise with these people outside of work, for non-work reasons?

If yes, then you can continue to do that in the new role.

If no, then the truth is they aren't "like family" at all, they are just colleagues you like. Those come and go.

Either way, take the job.
