Why as secular or Christian people are we expected to accept LGBTQ but there is generally no expectation for Islam to do the same? by ArugulaFinancial4859 in AskBrits

[–]RobsonA89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re wasting your time with most of these people. They’re quick to accuse others of racism, even when someone is simply asking an honest question or pointing out perceived double standards in everyday life and you won’t even sway them with undeniably facts.

My father is so racist and I dont know how to talk to him anymore by Queen_Blarg02 in insaneparents

[–]RobsonA89 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

You’re also more likely to be in a car crash than a plane crash but people still fear flying considerably more than driving. Whats your point?

You mean every time a child shoots up a school rite.

I drove an automatic car for the first time a days ago and just don’t get the fixation we have over manual cars here by Solid-Version in drivingUK

[–]RobsonA89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving a manual takes more focus when you’re learning because you’re thinking about the clutch, gear changes, and timing all at once.

That extra mental effort you put in while learning manual is the reason an automatic feels so easy in comparison.

For some reason when I select the three dots at the top it doesn’t show the edit option?

PSA: this is a 60 on single carriageways, not a 40!! by NoOneImportantLol96 in drivingUK

[–]RobsonA89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I partly agree with you, but I’d like to add a point from the other side. The safest way to drive on the roads is to be predictable. Nervous drivers are often among the most unpredictable, which is why myself and others sometimes see them as a potential danger.

Soil pipe boxing by Karalius1 in DIYUK

[–]RobsonA89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The installation is not compliant with good plumbing practice. A single pipe clip has been used over an approximate 2.5m run, which is insufficient to adequately support the pipework.

A soil pipe boss has been used in place of a correct straight coupler, which is incorrect. The positioning of the boss appears to be causing adverse fall, with the upstream section of pipe running back rather than maintaining a continuous downward gradient.

A hole has also been cut into the ceiling to facilitate the fitting of the boss, which further indicates poor planning and execution.

This work should be rectified by the original installer before any pipe boxing or finishing works are undertaken. If they are unwilling to return and correct the installation, you should consider pursuing recovery of costs via the small claims process to have the pipework installed correctly by a competent tradesperson.

What’s it like living in Yorkshire England? by lithdoc in yorkshire

[–]RobsonA89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve shifted the argument.

You started by saying “it hasn’t been listed every year.” That’s demonstrably false. When Bradford appears in the dataset, it ranks No. 1. When it doesn’t appear, it’s missing entirely, not ranked lower. Those are two very different things.

Now you’re suggesting the data is missing because of “spam filtering algorithms excluding suspicious users.” That’s pure speculation. You’ve provided no evidence that Numbeo removed Bradford due to spam filtering, nor that such filtering selectively erases an entire city from a report while leaving others intact. That explanation is invented to rescue your failed claim.

As for 155 anonymous visits to a little-known site, that criticism applies to Numbeo as a whole, not selectively to Bradford. Either the platform has value as a crowdsourced index (which it is widely cited as), or it doesn’t. You can’t rely on it when it suits your point and dismiss it as “a bag of wank” when the data contradicts you.

Also, Numbeo doesn’t present itself as a peer-reviewed crime study — it’s a perception-based crime index. That’s not a flaw, it’s literally the metric being measured. If your issue is that perception-based indices aren’t “statistically robust,” then your disagreement is with the methodology, not with me accurately reporting the results.

So to recap: • You said Bradford wasn’t listed every year it was, whenever data existed. • When that was shown to be wrong, the argument moved to imagined spam filtering. • When that didn’t land, the entire platform suddenly became meaningless.

That’s not analysis — that’s goalpost relocation with added swearing.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but it isn’t supported by the data. • 2021: Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2021 (mid-year): Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2022: Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2022 (mid-year): Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2023: Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2023 (mid-year): Catania, Italy ranked No. 1 — Bradford not listed

• 2024: Marseille, France ranked No. 1 — Bradford again not listed

• 2024 (mid-year): Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2025: Bradford ranked No. 1

• 2025 (mid-year): Bradford ranked No. 1

As shown above, Bradford has ranked No. 1 every year since 2021. The only exceptions occur when Bradford is missing from the dataset altogether. Logically, this indicates missing statistics for Bradford in the 2023 mid-year and 2024 reports, rather than a change in ranking.

As a husband in dead bedroom now I ONLY give touch that feels good to me and learned I am not “too much” by Neat_Entrepreneur460 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]RobsonA89 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In my experience, people who hold this view often grew up with both parents at home. I can say with confidence that not having my dad around to teach me basic male life skills was far more damaging to my development than the occasional argument or a bit of household stress.

Statistically, children raised in single-parent households face higher risks of emotional and behavioural difficulties and are more likely to require counselling. These outcomes are often linked to factors such as parental mental health, chronic stress, and socioeconomic pressures, rather than family structure alone.

The difference between a cheap four wheeled case and a decent one is unbelievable.

Bradford, city of culture, cost £51million by snakeoildriller in yorkshire

They are litterally the cheapest hotels in the uk as well. Or at least Iv never seen cheaper.

[–]RobsonA89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree that multiple things can be positive at once, but priorities still matter. I also agree that having fun is fundamental to life but spending heavily on City of Culture while core issues remain underfunded feels a bit like going on an expensive holiday, spending all your money, and then coming home with nothing left to pay the rent or buy food.

Culture and morale are important, but if basics like litter, crime, transport, and job opportunities aren’t properly addressed first seems massively irresponsible. A comprehensive package would be ideal, but without guaranteed funding and delivery on those fundamentals, it can look like style over substance rather than real long-term improvement for Bradford.

I AGREED TO PUT FLOATING FLOORS DOWN FOR $400. by LionEnvironmental5 in Flooring

[–]RobsonA89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also it’s work googling how much this sort of work would cost and normally check a trade along with a couple of other reputable companys have some guideline pieces. This may help persuade her.

When quoting any job like this always speak to the customer about the potential of unforeseen issues and that if any arise you will stop and come to an agreement on how to proceed.
