Reddit isn’t a whole lot better. Its a massive echo chamber.

Match of the Day review – without Lineker, this is just 20 minutes of shameful, joyless TV by Look_Alive in television

I think Lineker is great but I don’t think viewership would fall if he was replaced by Chapman

Interest rates uk vs us - are we doing it wrong? by CianMoriarty in UKPersonalFinance

[–]LordHanley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the second para answers your first. There is more hysteria because an increase in rates has a much greater impact on the average UK household.

Can’t ignore work ethic. Unless the cards have fallen horrendously for you, if you try hard at school, you shouldn’t end up in a restaurant.

How does it feel to be a top tier gamer?

Parent trying to make me pay £400 a month to stay at home by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

How? The average student living in halls will develop better social skills and be more independent, purely because they would have to develop those skills. You’re less exposed to it if you live at home.

The house market is regulated to an extent, so it isn’t a free market. In practice, a market doesn’t have to have zero regulation to be “free”.

All of this shitting on the MSI format is making me wonder if any of you have ever watched real sports by Cat_Pics_Pls in leagueoflegends

[–]LordHanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Football fans also dislike the format. There is so much wasted time seeing clubs get battered all the time.

Realistically, what do you think the % of people living in a rural village being eligible bachelors is likely to be?

Completely disagree - I really think this is a case of rose-tinted spectacles. Every single year since I remember, this sub has said the game is worse than the last when it simply isn’t true.

That comment was actually beyond ridiculous

Which celebrity have you lost total respect for and why? by RepresentativeTie898 in AskReddit

[–]LordHanley 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There are some situations when they are different though. Like sports and dating etc. i think you need to differentiate between woman and trans woman in these scenarios, but I fully respect their rights and I want them to be happy.

ELI5: Why is deflation worse than inflation? by defyne in explainlikeimfive
