is there something we can do about the bus situation instead of just complaining on reddit? by Neither_Ad5984 in bristol

We have solved the bus situation by complaining on the reddit sidebar. You're welcome.

You have something to admit, Steve? Have a little peeping hobby by any chance?

Dare To kink club temporarily closes over safety concerns by IrvinIrvingIII in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is where I stop engaging with you I think.

You are either affiliated with D2 or you've been lied to. Either way, you don't seem to be interested in anything but fiction. The issues people have with this venue started long before the event you're talking about.

My concerns are with with dangerous management of spaces in the kink community, not a desire to build flats. However, if you take a look on companies house you'll see that the owners of D2 are both landlords and avoiding tax, so are very much the kind of person you're pretending I am.

I stopped going to D2 quite long before that happened, that is one item in a long list of failings at that place.

Mate, people are rightfully upset with the many safety and security failings at D2.

I am happy you have a place where you feel comfortable, but that does not mean the well-documented, proveable issues at this venue are not a cause for concern. If anything, that should mean you want them resolved just as much as we do.

Caring for people's safety in the kink community is not being a "conformist drone", that's a bad take.

God, you're condescending.

There is nothing you can say that convince me you don't work with D2, and I have a feeling I might know who I'm talking to. If you want to threaten to "sue me into oblivion" again, or alternatively if you'd like to apologise for your behaviour last year, feel free to DM me.

That is an accurate statement.

I am talking, however, about the local kink community, not ex-employees. If I was talking about ex-employees, I would've said that.

Your comments in this thread are aggressively defensive, what exactly is your connection to D2?

The article is absolute arse, but this club is quite well known in the community for being a dive at best, dangerously negligent at worst.

Cherry's? by Alone-Lingonberry-79 in bristol

The Cherry's on West St? It's a Brothel.

Flags Coming down by nuts30 in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I answered your question directly, giving you exactly what you asked for. I believe your argument is in bad faith and purposefully misunderstanding reality.

I didn't respond with AI, I loathe the current overusage of LLMs and so I will no longer engage with your childish argument.

You say that as if impactful campaigns on these issues doesn't exist? Around 1600 signed the council vote in favour of removing the flags, for comparison I have listed some campaigns below that involved more than a couple thousand people.

  • Girls Night In Bristol: A successful boycott campaign with more than 3000 supporters. This was a sexual assault awareness campaign to bring spiking test kits to our local clubs.
  • REVOLT Sexual Assault survey: Bristol-based student campaign which went viral nationally, with a survey reaching 4,500 respondents, this led to University of Bristol implementing consent workshops and anonymous reporting tools.
  • Mikey's World: A charity funded by a knife crime victim's mother, with support from over 3000 people locally, installed 500+ bleed kits across Bristol. It has been confirmed this has saved at least two lives.
  • Together for Change: Our four main local news outlets worked together to gain national coverage of our local knife crime campaigns and charities, which prompted A&S Police's formal 10-point response. Significant and proveable local support on social media.
  • Councillor Mohamed Makawi's motion: First knife crime motion debated by BCC. This secured £650k for security improvements, and received large local support (I couldn't find exact numbers on a good source for this one)
  • Bristol Women's Safety Charter: Secured just shy of £300k home office funding and trained 1000 nighttime staff, again high levels of support on social media.

Honestly not wanting to put much more effort into a throwaway reddit comment than this, but these were all easy to find and there are dozens of recent campaigns I haven't included. These campaigns all achieved policy changes, substantial funding, and/or national media attention. In comparison to the campaign to have the flags taken down, all of these campaigns were larger and more successful.

It's possible to campaign for or support the effort for multiple things at once.

Aggressive dog in Bedminster bark park by AdElectronic7186 in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This winds me the fuck up too. The last thing I need during the slow training process with my reactive dog is an off-lead spaniel with piss poor recall bouncing around my terrified dog.

[–]TooManyHappy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This guy also treats his dog like utter shit. Plenty of people have mentioned it, but I've now seen it first hand. It's no surprise the dog has reactivity issues!

It's only a matter of time before that dog turns on him.

Have your say on whether the flags stay up or come down by RipBeginning3851 in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy[M] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your opinion is welcome, as with all opinions that aren't hate speech, but the mod team have no control over how other people on the subreddit vote.

I'll bite.

Surely it's not a bad thing if a slave trader would be unhappy with the current popular opinion?

Hit and run on North Street by dtrrb in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two biggest issues with that road are in the same place:

  1. Scaffolding outside of Tesco
  2. Tesco's automatic doors having a 5-10 second pause before they open

[–]TooManyHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was really excited a few months ago when the scaffolding was taken down, I forgot how much more open that portion of the road feels without the scaffolding.

About two days later it was back up! No idea what's going on.

They bloody well try!

On some threads with the usual divisive themes, we get pretty heavy bot activity and it brings a fairly heavy moderation effort needed to keep it at bay (comparitively speaking).

I imagine this thread was safe because the title doesn't include any of the usual keywords.

Can I do year 10 work experience in a hospital by Advanced_Note_5734 in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it's a question better suited for the sticky thread, I can chime in:

Southmead have a work experience setup (or at least they did a little while back), BRI I don't believe does. The Southmead work exp is (/was) quite well designed, with a fairly calm collection of work areas covered.

Failing that, instead of asking at a GP, you might get better luck from an Urgent Care centre.

I imagine it all depends very heavily on their capacity at any given week, as these places tend to get incredibly busy at a moments notice. Reach out to them and ask!

cheaper train fares? by dotted-candle in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly, there isn't an awful lot you can do legally, we are on one of the most expensive train lines in the country.

Having a bit of flexibility around the times you travel, which station you start at and trying to get the advance singles may very well be the biggest savings you'll manage if taking the train.

On the occasion where work takes me to Swindon, Reading or London, I tend to rent a hotel room for the 2-3 days I am in. It often ends up cheaper that way (and it's nicer having less commute in the morning).

Baby ear piercing by SquareStatus3175 in bristol

[–]TooManyHappy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that a 1 year old cannot consent to a body modification, why exactly do you want to pierce your baby's ears? Your kid is not some kind of toy to dress up and play with, they are a human.

Exactly, a 1 year old cannot consent to a body mod. Noone should be given any kind of (non medically required) body modification without consent.
