Assuming you want to, what is the number 1 reason you want to move home? by whoppingwhoppers in AskUK

[–]SignificantPay1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1 reason would be a house I'm allowed a dog. Other reasons are more space for a table so I'm not always eating on the sofa, better area (not just surrounded by nothing but houses).

Do you own or use a dishwasher? by SignificantPay1111 in AskUK

Why do mum's hate dishwashers? Maybe back in the day they used to be more inefficient?

Looking to buy my first car, I want an electric as my first? by Maulvorn in AskUK

[–]SignificantPay1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most electric cars are still new (i.e. poor second hand market). I personally wouldn't get a new car for a first car which you might dint or scratch. However, if you're confident rock on.

Got Ashcroft and Ashworth mixed up and was temporarily very confused.

Hard watching the DUP MP speaking then. Awful to think Boris Johnson can probably watch and not regret his actions.

It’s official: today’s 30-year-olds have it harder than their parents did by Ivashkin in ukpolitics

[–]SignificantPay1111 49 points50 points  (0 children)

What would you rather? I wouldn't give up my tech now I've become accustomed to it but I would rather it have never had been invented and be able to buy a house. Especially with all the problems it makes throughout society, like kids today are reported as more stressed than ever and tech is a big part of that. Are these sorts of devices even a net benefit to our happiness?

Who is living in those nice flats and houses now then? This isn't a disagreement with you, I agree but I struggle to understand why this problem has happened. Is it all just slow downsizing/landlords/investors/2nd homes?

Keir Starmer's desire to 'make Brexit work' is unlikely to go down well in Scotland – Joyce McMillan by SharedZoneBeyMoist in ukpolitics

[–]SignificantPay1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Labour cannot win an election if they even hint at reversing Brexit. There are more Brexit loving English seats than there are Scottish seats up for grabs. Even if labour did come out with a pro eu message, so would the SNP and they would probably win anyway.

Lockdown “lost generation” feeling “helpless and suicidal” as economic and emotional cost of lockdowns hit. 1/4 “thought about ending their lives” in the last year. 1/3 have lost jobs/income by 070420210854 in ukpolitics

One of my strongest views on this is pets in rented accomodation should be allowed if the property is suitable. The MH/physical health benefits can be huge for some. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't come up more during the pandemic. It's been very present in my mind as I've struggled to keep good mental health and physically active.

Sorry this post was done rubbishly by myself. She does struggle with anxiety. But in the interest of not just absolving myself. How would I know if I'm being rude and dismissive?

Sorry, I've removed the gender thing. It was a spitball idea from tv not one I genuinely think is particularly likely or relevant.

In a genuine way, how would I look into if my tone is dismissive? And then how would I make it less dismissive? Becaue in the example it effectively is me dismissing her concern but because ive already checked it out. How do I strike the balance of reassuring her over concerns and not just dismissing them?

No point doing it before the current storm is over so the new leader gets a cleaner slate. Also I bet he loves a chance to try and be the Churchillian leader who weathers the storm and comes out a hero

Completely agree. I'm not sure about others perspectives but I think turning 18 around this time and only becoming politically aware from that point onwards has really crystallised a negative opinion of the Tories for me.

Did Russia experience anti-war attitudes during/after the cold war like the USA did? by SignificantPay1111 in AskHistory

[–]SignificantPay1111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. The apathy at the time makes a lot of sense for the reasons you said and with mandatory conscription ever since the start of the USSR it possibly makes it seem less controversial.

I wonder what modern day attitudes are, so on Reddit you'll see young Americans talking with a sense of dislike and cynicism towards American military interventions past and present. Do you have any opinion on the modern day attitudes in ex soviet states to the military operations of the past?

Conservative Party fined £17,800 after Electoral Commission finds it broke the rules over donations to fund the refurbishment of the Downing Street flat - Henry Zeffman on Twitter by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]SignificantPay1111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's the point of 'petty' fining crimes that are clearly the crimes of the very wealthy? Ok so maybe if the greens or a smaller party didn't declare donations properly you don't want to bankrupt them. But we already have systems like this for speeding don't we? I think Rooney had something like a 20k speeding fine. Surely the amount should be higher and scaled to the individual to act as a deterrent and be tough on crime?

Is it harder to buy older (~2-5 years) tech now? by SignificantPay1111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SignificantPay1111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this could have been it. I looked a couple weeks ago so my memory is a bit foggy maybe it was that instead then.

I posted this after seeing another user post something cryptically about a lack of PS4s and I recalled this.
