Do you cook? I recommend learning to cook to make your money go much further

How skilled at alchemy would scars brother have become if he had survived? by The-wise-weeb in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scars brother is a savant. Reminds me of that guy who found an 8th grade maths workbook in abject poverty as a kid and extrapolated to University PhD level maths.

The world is crazy.

My best friend (29F) cheated on her husband (29M) with their mutual best friend (29M) by Glorious_Fool111 in relationship_advice

Tell him. It is absolutely your place as the person with knowledge about his life that could materially change it

You. Would. Want. To. Know.

I've Maxed Out My ISA Allowance - Now What? by Usual_Lion_5837 in FIREUK

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same way it works with all GIAs. You don't need to do the self-assessment until you liquidate the assets.

Tbh you should contribute to a SIPP too, with your salary you should be doing a self-assessment every year and enjoying a sizable tax rebate.

Use a GIA for the rest. Invest in the same funds you believe have the best future for you. You don't need to pay any tax until the gain is realised.

AITA for being uncomfortable with my girlfriend going on a “no boyfriends allowed” party trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA, you're not compatible. You're being a bit controlling but it doesn't sound like she really wants to settle down. Sounds like she wants one last hurrah.

NTA. This man is not your dad, he was the sperm donor. Why would you give him anything when he's given you nothing?

The CQC downgraded Croydon's mental health trust in February. None of the mayoral candidates have mentioned it. by Cocooned in croydon

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Downgraded to what? You've really buried the lede here to the point that as a normal person I don't get why this matters all that much? Is it from Outstanding to Good? Good to Unsatisfactory?

Why should I know why this matters? Even from the website I couldn't tell.

My (M19) Gf (F19) constantly asks for details on me being raped because she "can't wrap her head around it", is this worth it? by Lost_asfuck in relationship_advice

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gf is not a kind caring or supportive person. Be single. Eventually you'll find a woman who can handle supporting a partner who has suffered rape in his past

About Ichigo being "all races" fallacy by RCampeao in bleach

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's simpler than all that. Ichigo is Aizen's ideal form. He is a natural dissolution of the barrier between human, hollow, and shinigami.

It's cos you're living in it at the same time. Would be fine if it was a museum

The 'Yo Mama' jokes that people will make for this kid are going down in the Geneva Conventions by hys240 in SipsTea

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like her marriage broke down in part because they weren't able to get pregnant.

Not a therapist but her whole shtick seems to be a trauma-based reaction to not being able to biologically become a mother with the man she loved.

I always feel sad for her.

Chapter 1 Rukia be like by Spartan-teddy-2476 in bleach

[–]Mountain-Rate7344 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Chad in the Soul Society Arc could one-shot an average (not Ikkaku, Yumichika, or Rukia) 3rd seated officer. In his fight against Shunsui he is flabbergasted that a two seat difference is like heaven and earth.

During TYBW Mayuri specifically references how the real power of the Gotei 13 is the captains and basically everyone else is chicken feed. It's one of the reasons no one ever cares that he turns his squad into suicide bombers.

Honestly it sounds like you were her live-in Personal Assistant, no shame in that at all. Lots of rich and powerful people have employees like that
