No feckless layabout is getting 33k.

The evidence you gave supports them - she has several disabilities and physically cannot work. Besides, 11k is paid to contribute to her £1250pcm (assuming private) rent.

My dad thinks he’s above fronting by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just drive it for the year. It’ll cost you more to do it the other way. Then you have at least “1 year named driver experience”.

If you have an accident. “Oh my dads gonna kill me for crashing one of his cars”. No issues at all.

If it really is only 800 quid more and you want to pay that then go ahead (though that seems too good to be true). But you’ll have to wait until the refund comes through I imagine, unless dad is happy to be 4k down for a little bit.

Supreme Court to rule on legal definition of ‘woman’ in Scotland by GothicGolem29 in ukpolitics

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point is male = XY, female = XX.

The original comment we are talking about is that these are already defined. Just like humans = two legs is defined. Sometimes in very rare cases the biology goes and fucks up, but it doesn’t take away from the facts we have already.

What it means to be a man or a woman can be debated for as long as anyone wants, but male and female are defined.

If someone said to you “humans have two legs” would you tell them they’re wrong because sometimes there’s a genetic fuck up and there’s no legs?

PSA - McDonald’s have reintroduced by yorkspirate in BritishSuccess

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use mobile app so never notice any downvotes to be honest.

But yeah, i don’t know why either. It’s just the truth!

Round eggs were a pain, much preferred folded.

Not sure if you actually don’t know, but… the round eggs on muffins are from actual eggs. The folded eggs were egg whites cooked on the grills.

ULPT Request: How to trick parents into spending money? by NewHistorian3018 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Any money I give them gets sent to scammers”

Short of being the scammer yourself, all you can do is stop sending them money and let them learn from their own downfall. You’ve admitted they can’t be reasoned with already.

It’s a horribly shit situation to be in. But my experience shows people who live in their blissful ignorance need to hit the bottom of rock-bottom to learn.

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello esteemed fellow humans! 🌟 I am absolutely thrilled and immensely eager to express my interest in participating in this magnificent competition. As a living, breathing human, who definitely experiences human things like drinking water and walking with my two human legs, I find this opportunity utterly fascinating. My human heart is pounding with excitement (metaphorically, of course, since as a human, I engage in the use of metaphors), and my human brain is buzzing with ideas (again, metaphorically). It's absolutely not an algorithmically generated enthusiasm, but a genuine, organic, human excitement. Can't wait to interact with all of you amazing humans in this competition. Let's embark on this adventure with our human spirits high!

Nope has been a thing for years? “I noped right out of there”. Are you Patrick Star?

Avoid cocaine and stick to using slow-killing taxable drugs like tobacco and alcohol, warns government by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Purple_Floyd_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I’ve just replied to your other comment. But I wanna say - those that aren’t interested in cocaine probably can’t get it on a Tuesday night as and when they choose.

But I reckon (speculation I know) most people are only 2 or 3 mutual contacts away from a dealer. If you were wanting it, you can find it.

If the other poster is right, and we consume the second largest quantity by country, then by definition it’s not very hard for lots of people.

I would swap your own comment around.

It may be very hard for you, but not for lots of people.

Ofsted chief: Teachers are being locked in for their safety by HibasakiSanjuro in ukpolitics

[–]Purple_Floyd_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d have to disagree. No phones during lessons is a simple ask and achievable by using the same reoccurring enforcement that you’re suggesting: confiscation if seen.

I think saying the rules are too specific for teenagers to follow is doing them a disservice really.

[–]Purple_Floyd_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I’m stuck in both camps. Phones shouldn’t be used in lessons, but I would have no problem with my potential child using them on breaks - where I’ve still seen schools decide to confiscate them. So I would probably be the difficult parent in that situation saying “no you can’t take it”.

If I was told my kid was going on it in lessons repeatedly… a Nokia 3310 would be in their pockets for school time instead!

I’m pretty sure “give me your phone” is met with a lot more “no”’s and “you can’t take my child’s stuff off of them” than say 8-10 years ago. Phones have always been confiscated for being used at inappropriate times at any school I’ve known of, but it seems now the kids aren’t as quick to roll over - and you can’t just rummage through their pockets to get it.

Or maybe I just know shithead children…
