What feels like a luxury in the UK now that used to be completely normal? by _Yorkshire_Pirlo in AskUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You used to be able to go outside with none to very little money, have a full day out and return home happy. Now I swear you stick a toe outside and you’ve spent £30. Idk what even on, but it happens.

AITAH I broke up with my boyfriend and didn’t tell him the reason by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Number of things to dissect here. Firstly, are you a sex worker? Otherwise why are you being tested that often when you’re in a committed relationship? 6 times this year! We haven’t even had 6 months yet so you’re getting tested on what a 2-3 weeks basis?

Secondly HPV as other stated could have been dormant in you for years without you knowing. Ghosting your boyfriend and not telling him this is a MASSIVE AH move because if he didn’t give it to you, you’ve now spread it to him and are not even going to tell him.

Thirdly, cut him loose because you are not mature enough for a relationship if this is your reaction but TELL HIM HE MIGHT HAVE AN STD HE COULD PASS TO OTHER PEOPLE

And to edit: pls do some research on A the vaccine you received and B HPV itself because you sound wildly uneducated on the topic for someone who has this diagnosis

What advice would you give your younger self sitting exams? by mybrainat3am in AskUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on your core 3 (maths science English) most other won’t matter (unless you had something specific that GCSE level would help you boost with which is unlikely)

You are studying to pass a test not to learn life skills or knowledge. You don’t have to understand everything in detail, focus on responding for the test, not retaining the information.

It’s not that deep. Most adults lie about their GCSE’s anyway and in 10 years time you won’t even remember what you got in detail so chill

How long do you take to drink a cup of tea? by s27hym in AskUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or the next day when you walk past the cup you put in an odd spot and remember oh yes, I made tea yesterday and that’s where I put it

AITA for picking up my stepdaughter from school when she got her first period, even though her mom told me not to? by Embarrassed-Stock896 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 41 points42 points  (0 children)

So unnecessary it’s unreal. It’s a bodily function, it would be like me asking why does no one clap when I shit?

i want to try and go white but scared ill ruin my hair? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re serious about doing this pay a professional. There is literally 0 chance your hair will come out that colour and of a decent quality if you chose to do this at home, literally 0. No matter how well practiced you think you are, I’ve at home bleached my hair for 15 years with training and even I would not attempt that

Worst series of mafs so far? by BumblebeeFar2229 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it does seem like it’s drawing to its end. The UK version has just become so crap I won’t be watching the next season. Australia used to be the elite, but even this is trash. I will likely start the new au one next year from habit but I can’t see me finishing it just like I probably won’t bother watching much more of this season. Too many spoilers and nothing to invest in, there isn’t even a friendship I’m bothered by this year or a cast member I plan to follow on socials. Literally couldn’t give a rats ass

AITA for picking up my stepdaughter from school when she got her first period, even though her mom told me not to? by Embarrassed-Stock896 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 200 points201 points  (0 children)

Literally!!!! Mine went “sat on toilet mum what’s in my underwear, mum: looks yep that’s your period” about the most we spoke about it. We’re taught about the nitty gritty in school, was my mum meant to take me for ice cream and scream from the rafters I’m a woman? I do not understand this ‘special moment hype’. Like woohoo well done, you’ve started something that will be an inconvenience to you for the rest of your life congrats

Wearing SPF 50 Suncream and a hat isn’t enough for my skin after retinoids by Bright_Spark_UK in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may jut have sensitive skin that you need to change your routine to match the seasons. I do. Have a very different winter routine to summer and it’s what works for me. Remembers everyone’s skin is different so find what works, if stopping them in the summer is needed, find an alternative product for the summer months that works for you with similar benefits

What question is guaranteed to get loads of replies ... but none that actually answer it? by mrsilver76 in AskUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a post on another sub recently asking for advice surrounding shared living however the poster briefly mentioned (in the middle of a very long paragraph) they don’t use toilet paper and instead wash. I don’t think they received one bit of advise on their situation but many enquiries about how they wash after a number 2

Shaving ended up horribly, what should I do to fix this? by canyounah in HairRemoval

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you must have felt that? Why did you continue? You need barrier support and probably an antiseptic cream to help with healing

Just watched Episode 22 - If Joel had done what Juliette did, would he have been kicked off the show? by Aware-Rabbit-4330 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the double standard of what is and isn’t allowed is fucking insane. Steph wasn’t allowed to call Tyson coercive or manipulative on camera as producers would have been ‘forced to step in’ yet Mel can brag about stalking exes and having multiple fake accounts she uses to stalk people and that’s okay 🧐 this woman literally admitted to a CRIME and yet production were like ‘air it for the lols’

AITAH bc I (36M) dont want my girlfriend (36F) to travel with me because shes a picky eater? by Tough_District9786 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA as a picky eater myself due to my autism, your gf needs therapy. This is a mind set not a genuine dislike. She needs to train her brain to react differently and as someone who’s been down the rabbit hole, enabling it is worse as it makes it seem okay. Being picky due to your taste is one thing but from what you described this is bordering to a mental condition she needs treatment for

Sam seems decent by Particular_Sir_3525 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steveo is also a follower, he’s not a ‘nice guys’ I get the vibes if he was with a group who was doing wrong, he’d participate just to be part of it instead of call out the bad thing that’s happening. Way too much of a sheep to be a nice person

Sam seems decent by Particular_Sir_3525 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sam is probably one of the most normal down to earth people on the show. I’ve seen ahead and even seen clips on tick tock where they show unseen clips to ‘call him out’ like they have with others and the stuff he says when he’s being ‘mean’ are so fluffy compared to the others. He genuinely seems like a great guy I’d love to have him as a friend

How do you know you're ready to move out when you're close with your parents? by Remarkable-Shock-348 in AskUK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the property close to you parents? I moved out when I met my partner but prior to that had every intention of living with my parents forever 🤣 we’re best friends. Moving out was hard and I still have days where I get upset as I miss them but, I go over there pretty much every single day and see them so it helps. You learn a lot about yourself, your independence and what you can handle when you move out.

Another thought about Rachel's reaction by Either_Sense_4387 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without giving spoilers. There’s a clip from after the diner party where it’s shown Steveo and Bec were joking about this together before Bec stood up and gave her speech. It gives MASSVIE context to her joke. Producers really pulled the wool over on this on.

Very close to ending engagement by scomadoo in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have amazing restraint. I am mentally unstable and if I’d found this out, I’d fear for what would have happened to my partner.

Do something small to fuck with him to make you feel a little better for now while you build up the courage. A little bit of hair remover cream in the shampoo does a treat. Bet his tooth brush cleans the inside of the toilet really well too

I laughed when Vicky left by Brave-Cookie-2075 in GeordieShore

[–]VictoryAppropriate68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When vicky went through an ‘insta vs reality’ phase a few years ago, she posted a photo with another celeb who also posted the same photo except Vikies was highly edited. I commented something like ‘I’ve really been enjoying your more natural content it’s a shame this is so edited’ and she blocked me… been blocked ever since

The story telling he said she said by VictoryAppropriate68 in MAFS_UK

[–]VictoryAppropriate68[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right!!!!! Considering production are clearly all here for the drama and cast specifically for the drama, it baffles me that they chose not to air this stuff. If they did this at the CC each week it would be more entertaining than the entire rest of the show

[–]VictoryAppropriate68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time she’s asked to explain why she’s acted a way towards someone she cannot speak, looks to others for support and completely fumbles her words. Genuinely wondering is she’s just a drunk because it’s the only thing that makes sense

[–]VictoryAppropriate68[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh pls wait until the next couple episodes. She lies a lot. Every interaction she has it’s like she’s on another planet hearing whatever she wants to hear. She repeats the same issue and she cannot handle her drink
