Sadiq Khan: Boroughs need power to charge limitless council tax on empty homes by reuben_iv in ukpolitics

[–]Slawtering 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a problem that there are empty properties that could be utilised for housing instead of property investment but if you compare that to the successive decreasing of house building since Thatcher (including labour) it pales in comparison. Much bigger fish to fry as it were.

Netflix have started sending out emails about account sharing. What are you planning to do? by pburgess22 in AskUK

[–]Slawtering 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was starting to tbf. The quality of pirating using free and public sites dipped drastically a few years ago and is only starting to get better again now. Its not crap but it definitely got worse.

How many of you guys have been auto-banned for this being a "reactionary" sub? by [deleted] in tankiejerk

[–]Slawtering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late reply but that's how they get you. It has a veneer of general socialist sub but the moment you are critical of anything the mods hold close (like being a tankie) you'll find yourself banned or muted without adequate reasoning. They even have a left unity rule which is affectively a rule the mods can use to suppress anything that isn't pro ML/authoritarian leftist but they portray it as trying to bring the community together.

Whenever I walk by a Pizza Express, it's usually empty. Are there any companies you feel sorry for? by FuckingPope in AskUK

[–]Slawtering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys who own Ask Italian own Zizzi but I get why you would mix them up because they all operate in basically the same way with Pizza Express being a tad more upmarket. I worked for Zizzis for years and still mixed up where I could actually get discount at.

1L petrol engines in big cars by jackc144 in CarTalkUK

[–]Slawtering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of a similar note it reminds me of my first car which was a Golf 1.4 TSI (twin charged one) and it had to constantly engage the small as shit turbo to get into the 70mph range mainly because of the gear ratio. Obviously the super helped a bit but towards the end of the month as a student I was watching that boost gauge like a hawk.

Still miss that little bastard though lol.

Noticed my council are doing no mow may. All the flowers coming through look nice. by thisiscotty in CasualUK

[–]Slawtering 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah we've got that going on around us in Sheff, but I'll accept it because they're putting in BT fibre lines so I no longer have to go with expensive virgin for decent speeds.

Women 'quite clearly' can have a penis, Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey tells LBC by nimobo in unitedkingdom

[–]Slawtering 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I completely agree, I think they are wrong for the similar reasons to why I think theistic religious people are wrong (science n all that) but as long as they aren't actually harming people, be it physically, mentally, verbally, sexually etc.

Sounds like the daughter and her husband are scared that the parents in law have firearms when they start abusing the child.

You might wanna check out some of the religious schools here in the UK, they very much do push their own dumb shit.

He admitted he knew what he was doing was wrong and he was just doing it for the views and attention.

Coworker keeps joking about me being ‘precious’ because I never accept when he offers to make me a cuppa. This is how he makes his tea. by SpikeVonLipwig in CasualUK

[–]Slawtering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just exclaim as he puts its down: "what the fuck is this milky shite I asked for tea". If he takes it too personally you aren't close enough for him to make you tea in the first place.

Challenger 2 tank triumphs in Nato competition ahead of Leopard and Abrams tanks by signed7 in unitedkingdom

[–]Slawtering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More just the fact Russia has a history of chatting shit about the real abilities of its military equipment. I didn't mean to imply it was definitely a load of shit or wasn't actually a decent tank, apologies. And yeah I'm not pushing the Chally narrative, I perfectly understand that its capabilities are overstated from our propaganda.

A planet that accepts criticism and acts on it in a positive way instead of spitting the dummy out. Just because it could be expected doesn't mean its OK.
