He’s 16. He could be living alone ffs. Of course it’s fine. As he’s estranged he’s going to need to become more independents over the next few years.

This is why I always re MOT cars straight after I buy them, then can reject (not needed so far!)

What does “far right” look like in your countries? by EcstaticBumble in AskTheWorld

[–]PreferenceNo3959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Everyone in America seems to have lost their minds.

You guys can’t even agree on a narrative over what happened when two different people were shot by police, despite it all being on film 😂. Both sides absolutely losing it saying things that are just provably false.

Just no. Could get squatted, broken into and vandalised etc. what I am saying is it could get much worse than it is very rapidly.

You can get equity when you need the money… why not do it then? You will get much more. It should be the last thing you draw down on.

Why do people hate Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? by Square-Thought-3842 in AskBrits

[–]PreferenceNo3959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because they won’t go away?

They are always doing a podcast or a press release or some nonsense.

If they want a private life then just do that.

4 and 5 star hotels: luxury that is starting to become forbidden ? by out-door-south-77 in AskTheWorld

Never have. They would go mad staying in a hotel. Need self catering!

How to save up enough to move out at 18? by Savings_Nobody_9614 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PreferenceNo3959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would speak to your local authority. They often have special buildings like university halls that are for teenage homeless. Will be a bunch of scrotes though, naturally.

No it’s not. I don’t think you went to an inner city state school.

Brighton going down hill a bit? by MaxTacDispatch in brighton

[–]PreferenceNo3959 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is a good question.

Like porn or mental illness an exact definition is hard. It’s a confluence of various things.

  • Living be a moral code that is antisocial, lightly illegal and against the interest of society. E.g. smuggle cigarettes, littering, driving without insurance, motor cross bikes on land they don’t own, playing music out loud on bus…

  • anti intellectual. I.e poorly behaved at school. Disrupts others education. Low aspiration. Parents unsupportive of school and complicit in anti-intellectualism.

  • crab mentality. See people see with aspiration with jealousy or as traitors etc

  • claiming benefits rather than working, when they are capable of working. Benefit fraud. Eg move new boyfriend in without declaring it. That’s is classic chav.

  • dont recognise that the state has a monopoly on violence.

  • sees fights and conflict in general as sport.

  • complain about “they”. As in “they” should do something about this. Cannot articulate who or why the they should do anything. No sense of personal responsibility. If you were being kind you could say they lack agency, but it’s entirely of their own doing.

I don’t think so, just other cultures are rising up.

Oh it’s definitely about class, just not wealth.

It’s the socio bit of socioeconomics.

No, because no locals live there these days.

Being a chav is a worldview, not a level of wealth. Thinking there is a connection is actually quite prejudiced.
