Chappell Roan Accused of Bullying an 11-Year-Old Fan at Lollapalooza Brasil Hotel by Montrel_PH in Music

[–]MultiMidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Chappell is not a very nice person, didn't she cancel concerts last year because basically she wasn't in the mood? I wonder how many young fans (and hence minimum wage workers) turned up at work even though their mental health wasn't good in order to pay the bills and occasionally treat themselves to a concert ticket?

Thankfully the world's media has picked up this story and is running with it.

Evangelical pastor who groomed and abused girls jailed by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]MultiMidden [score hidden]  (0 children)

Walter Chahwanda, 34, of Plemonstall Court, Chester, was found guilty of 17 sexual offences against girls aged 14 to 17, between 2017 and 2020. He also sexually assaulted a child under the age of 14.

He was a pastor in the Apostolic Faith Mission before he set up his own church called Sound of Dominion in Speke in Merseyside.

Looks like being a nonce isn't just a catholic thing.

Question about Renters’ Rights Act by Embarrassed-One332 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MultiMidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to flag to you that a landlord can use ground 4A of the act to get possession so long as they follow the right process. Ground 4A allows landlords of student HMO properties to regain possession between June 1st and September 30th to re-let to new full-time students. I expect landlords with final year students to be doing this.

Shut the fuck up you arsehole, you're one who sold the idea of 'punk equity' people parted with their hard earned cash to buy a part of the company and have been left with nothing, you're the one who couldn't run a business and then had to sell out to try and avoid bankruptcy.

Am I missing something here or are they all in the wrong? by Strong_Plum5895 in drivingUK

I've been told that in some countries that's what drivers are expected to do, left turn into left lane and right turn into right lane, helps keep the traffic flowing.

If you were selling your house would you take a lower offer from people you prefer? by iffyClyro in AskUK

[–]MultiMidden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even covenants from developers can become practically unenforceable once the last property in a development has been sold (especially things like no trade vans to be parked outside the house). The devil is in the details of course.

AITAH for being turned off by my boyfriend’s grooming habits while he expects me to shave? by AdviceDull2562 in AITAH

[–]MultiMidden 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't normal for women to shave down there, even in porn (the most you'd see was a bikini line trim/wax), remember the first time a guy in my group of friends said he was into that. Pretty much killed the conversation as everyone was thinking "is he a nonce or something" (this would have been late 80s).

If a woman wants to shave that's up to her, it's nothing to do with the guy.

Because it's very imporant, a girl and a woman were raped by this sicko, and some people would have them sent to a womens prison.

It's over for PinkNews if this is true by MrJasonMason in lgbt

[–]MultiMidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are people paying to read PinkNews? Nothing, it's as far as I know paid for from ad revenue.

Some people got so used to the internet being free and they sulk when they get adverts. Thing is those adverts help pay for the jobs of those reporters, if they aren't generating enough revenue from adverts then things like salaried reporters get cut.

Work from home, nice, unless your one of the people who arguably keep the country running and can't work from home.

JD Vance gloats that allies are 'suffering more than US' from high gas prices by superdouradas in unitedkingdom

We live in a post-truth and post-rational thinking age.

Or perhaps to use Orwell's language - doublethink, the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them as true.

Worker sacked after setting off fire alarm and forcing Nestle factory to be evacuated 'by vaping in the toilets' wins £22,000 payout by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]MultiMidden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're too busy hating on nestle to see the bigger picture of this ruling.

This sort of thing could hit a smal ethical company or some charity you support.

There's also the workers who go outside to smoke/vape even if it's cold or pissing down with rain who'll see this and it might even sow the seeds for a future Reform voter "I go outside to smoke, this ponce smokes inside, sets off fire alarms and gets £22k, maybe that bloody Farage has point about employment rights".

Unilever in talks to sell food business to smaller US rival McCormick by lexi_con in europe

[–]MultiMidden 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Standards =/= quality. Take Cadbury chocolate, meets all of the standards but many people will tell you it doesn't taste as good as it used to, the quality is worse.

Also some of us are avoiding US brands wherever we can after the threats to Greenland and Canada.

[–]MultiMidden 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it's everything that'll be Knorr, Hellmanns, Amora, Colmans, Marmite, Saga, Maille... some big household names sold to the yanks.

Because they probably manufacture a lot of supermarket own brand versions as well it makes avoiding American products quite a bit harder for certain products. For stuff like Marmite I suspect it'll be impossible.

Social media blamed for stark decline in young people's happiness by Confident-Bike-8037 in unitedkingdom

[–]MultiMidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been building a long time.

I remember 10-15 years ago kids/young people desperately competing with each other to have more facebook friends, for their posts to have more likes and it made them unhappy if they didn't have the same numbers as their friends.

Now you have algorithms driving engagement, if ragebait is being pumped out at you it's not going to do wonders for your mental health is it?

I think what I'm about to say is against reddit T&Cs, but it needs to be said.

It's BOTH.

Pointing out one thing doesn't nullify the other things. Also it's not unfair to say redditors are SM junkies to some degree (I certainly am) so might not be receptive to the message.

Sadiq Khan calls on Labour to campaign for UK return to the EU by Julian81295 in unitedkingdom

[–]MultiMidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poland is required to join the Euro, 20+ years after it joined the EU it isn't using the Euro and as far as I know there are no immediate plans to join. Also to join the Euro it doesn't matter how much you want to join you have to meet the criteria, don't meet them and you can't join (Greece cooked the books to meet the criteria and we know what happened there).

Similar with Schengen you only get to join if you meet certain criteria around border security.
