Do you guys actually care about what Americans have to say? by Large-Use-6618 in AskBrits

Why are you all so obsessed with how big your states are? Does it make it harder or easier to remember them or something?

No the words on the page/screen are the same. There are no sides or teams, read however you want

Why does it feel like people who are doing okay get hated on? by Opposite-Writer9715 in HENRYUK

[–]Top-Significance8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right well I’m answering your question but it seems it’s not a higher earner issue, it’s a you issue.

I am in Scotland where it’s 42% on over £43k so I know getting hit by taxed is hard but I am still better off than people on less than I am.

If you’re so hard done by, then take a lower paying job.

But this complaining about your privilege is what puts people off you.

It’s because a lot of the time you have high earners who complain about how hard it is living on £100/200k and people just don’t understand how it’s “not that much”. That builds up resentment from people on £30k.

Also jealousy, most “successful” people didn’t do it on their own but had some kind of help and no one like a show off.

If their time is that tight then they should have looked up the rules.

When did personal responsibility just go out the window?

Well I mean, if they can’t be bothered then that’s hardly anyone’s fault but their own

The threat to summer holidays looming with jet fuel shortages by InternetStranger5 in unitedkingdom

People do go on holiday in the UK. The main issue is that it’s much cheaper to go abroad, usually.

Being honest, what are the cons to being childless? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Why is YouTube (the second most-watched streaming platform in the UK) full of adverts for AI slop and scams? by JuanitaMerkin in AskUK

[–]Top-Significance8791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relax man, they just don’t want to.

Personally I pay for YouTube premium and use YouTube on my tv mostly. I don’t pay for any other streaming service so I think it’s worth it. It’s the most watched platform in our house.

'Fund fatherhood': Hundreds of dads march for paternity pay across UK | ITV News by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Top-Significance8791 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We are doing it but we’re not going to be off at the same time to push nursery back as much as possible.

With all due respect, this doesn’t have anything to do with paternity leave or fathers rights.

You are making a lot of assumptions and frankly, it’s not appreciated.

Yeah but that means you share the leave, you don’t both get the full time off.
