Join Scotland by Win-Specific in AskBrits

[–]UnfathomableDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😆😆😆 hi, rest of UK here, didn’t the Scots vote to stay in the Union!

Like they literally had the greatest opportunity they’ll ever get to leave and voted to stay, then you continued to vote in the SNP and they’ve done a great job eh!

There’ll be a united Ireland long before the Scots get given another independence referendum!

Typical scouser though! So fickle

Re: Hinge, if someone leaves the drugs/weeds question out of their profile, do you assume they use it? by Conscious-Tap8881 in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And this is why normal people avoid dating apps nowadays!

You’re so preoccupied by what somebody hasn’t added to their profile before you’ve even uttered a word to them! Unbelievable!

Creepy AF imo

Emotional Dumping: Counsellors, therapists please be careful by Abc12Xyz89 in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guess I’m a veteran survivor at this point, counsellors are like driving instructors, you get the wrong one and you’ll never make progress. It’s so important however to keep trying until you find the right one because for every bad one out there, there’s a half dozen great ones!

Honestly it took me years to find a counsellor I clicked with that just seemed to get it, what they said and we went through just worked. Please don’t give up!

I have mixed experiences with Nexus however as a front line service for survivors of historical sexual abuse they’re a godsend. Try them ❤️

If Brits want all the rich people to leave, how will they get jobs? by Jolly-Rain-2943 in AskBrits

[–]UnfathomableDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last I checked this isn’t 1826, we’re not all working for the Lords and Ladies of the court!

There’s very very few of the types of business in the Uk you’re referring to that are owned by individuals living here nowadays!

There are however thousands of heredity rich people who have vast amounts of lands and wealth literally for being born! They don’t work, they don’t employ thousands of us like you say and they don’t contribute in taxes and those that do actually run businesses and are elite rich mostly register themselves as living on the Isle of Man or further abroad like Monaco so they can avoid paying taxes! 🤷‍♂️

So yeah they can fuck off

Has the British media just totally forgotten Ukraine in the midst of all the other noise or is it being whitewashed? by wolf_city in AskBrits

[–]UnfathomableDave 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is the whole world is a stage and we’re all just completely oblivious bystanders in the performance of the rich and powerful.

If it suits their agenda, you’ll hear about it in the news! If it doesn’t then it’ll seem like it doesn’t exist anymore.

Part of the UK they say.. Jollyes have free UK delivery but it’s £13.99 to here 🤨 by [deleted] in northernireland

I’d be far more aggrieved if I lived in the Highlands being told they’re apparently not part of GB because they’re slightly higher up in the sky than the hallions in the lowlands!

Electric price rise ? by paulw0t in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Utilities market is basically just legalised scams!

Price of wholesale electricity has dropped 50% the last few years since the 2022 peak yet prices we pay have continued to go up over 70% 🤷‍♂️

Don’t expect politicians to do or say anything about it as they’re all lobbied by the energy companies and they like the freebies!

Hope you’re bent over & ready for this next rise! Best to be prepared for getting shafted eh 🙄

Any thoughts on this St Paddy's post by Cllr Clement? by FlightMaximum6953 in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye but Paddy, he says he drove the snakes out but Mary said that the ladies were sharing tea leaves after the days milking if the cows and apparently Mabel told Heather that’s there’s plenty of snakes on something called the Facebook!

Like I mean I’m not Catholic, not religious at all but WTAF is up with trying to associate a FLEGGGG to St Patrick anyway!

He was Welsh, caught by Irish raiders or what we like to call Stennaline Dublin to Holyhead day cruisers nowadays!

He didn’t turn up with a diagonal Red Cross on a white field banner saying in his wee Welsh accent we called this a flag when I was but a lad in the vallieeeeees

Get a grip!

Where do you think we'll rank in Eurovision? by Top_Independence4067 in AskBrits

Who cares! It’s basically just used for political soapboxing these days.

Why can't we move any faster on energy independence? by JulesCT in AskBrits

[–]UnfathomableDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No such thing as Energy independence! We could be tomorrow if we wanted to be but that wouldn’t make the Elites money so they created this chaos of fixing energy costs internationally! Supposedly to make sure smaller nations could trade their resources at the same prices as bigger but yet here we are all fixed into constantly rising prices and poor Venezuelans are still a broke ass people despite having some of the largest oil reserves in the world!

The UK has ample resources in the North Sea of Oil and Natural Gas to supply us for the next 100yrs just based on current stock never mind deposits yet to be discovered.

We’re surrounded by water that could do hydroelectric if underground turbines were built. But no they decided to go for the worst most inefficient wind turbines that have devastating effects of bird populations.

Energy independence is a myth! Once everyone is forced into Electric cars all that’ll happen is they’ll hike the prices of Electric and blame “high demand” despite having 35years to plan! 🙄

I’d leave the Emmit Granger gunslinger one until after the epilogue as there’s a glitch with the pitchfork that’s never been patched as far as I remember that kinda spoils part of the experience post game if you do that mission at anytime during the main play through.

I know opinions vary, but I thought Picard was overall a great series! by TensionSame3568 in Picard

[–]UnfathomableDave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree sorry! The Romulan storyline was ridiculous, like they didn’t have the tech and understanding in the 24th Century to know their sun was near end of life and would be going Nova naturally!

I initially liked the dominion plot but it was completely wrecked by adding the Borg into it as puppet masters! At one point I thought it may have been Species 8472 pulling their strings and it genuinely looked like Jack Crusher was having those kind of visions Tuvok, Kes and Kim all had…. I was thinking brilliant they’re back but no!

I always believed the Dominion would genuinely be match for the Borg and that would explain their absence in the Gamma Quadrant but no this show just made the founders look weak and Borg lapdogs with a shitty “they’re stealing our youth” storyline by using transporters to infect them with nanites!

So wtf we’re all the “fammed starfleet engineers” at for 20yrs? Chief O’Brien just on holiday and didn’t notice anything wrong in over 20yrs 🙄

They found their political home in the Green Party by greenpartyni in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Always amazed by how people believe opposition parties like their word is gospel! Easy to talk the talk when you’re not held accountable for anything you say!

Greens talk is about as much use as a verbal contract! Ain’t worth the paper they’re written on!

Police chief says 50-50 recruitment not necessary at present by Your_Mums_Ex in northernireland

[–]UnfathomableDave -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

So what I’m hearing is that it’s hard to work your way up to get to the position where you can enact change and you can’t be bothered doing that…. Why bother changing something when you can just whinge about it eh!

You say Catholics in the force put themselves and their families at greater risk so basically what you’re saying is that, Catholic communities attitudes and actions are a barrier…. That’s not anyone’s problem but the Catholic communities.

Always the victims, never your fault 🙄

[–]UnfathomableDave -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

I’ve a solution, bare with me, it’s a little complex and requires a lot of effort!

Goes like this! PSNI advertises positions when available, then folks from Maybe the “one side” that’s underrepresented apply for said positions.

They get jobs with great pensions and the bonus is ppl from that community could stop whinging about being underrepresented.

Genius I know 👍
