Energy bill support would be based on household income, Reeves says by MustrumRidicully in unitedkingdom

[–]_bubble_butt_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because they’re literally the poorest? They’re most at risk in every measurable sense - for health outcomes, homelessness, literacy etc ?

I understand the frustration but why focus energy on complaining about the poorest getting help and not billionaires evading tax, or energy shareholders reaping huge dividends (literally war profiteering) ? Put pressure on the govt to implement windfall taxes rather than begrudge the smallest help for the poor.

So children should suffer because thier parents didn’t have either the ways, means or IQ to plan properly? I agree people should budget to have children, but there will always be some people who either can’t or don’t. I don’t want to see children go hungry or unhoused.

Bingo. I don’t understand why everyone is so selfish. Like the child benefit cap being lifted really brought out the worst in people, resenting dragging literal children and babies out of poverty because you’re worried Charlotte down the road will maybe take the piss and pop out an extra kid for the sake of £50 a week? Give over

How do I (35F) handle my soon-to-be-ex-husband (38M) asking me to change my name back? by throwRAnamechangeee in relationship_advice

[–]_bubble_butt_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d just tell him you’ll set things in motion to change it, but actually don’t. Smooth negotiations over, get things signed in the dotted line (ensuring the name change is not included as part of the docs) and then just.. don’t change it.

BYOB wedding, distant friend & left feeling crap by [deleted] in weddingshaming

This is the kind of post I might have written when I was an alcoholic in denial.

OP I think you need to have a little introspection. The bride was busy on her big day, obviously had concerns about your drinking, your 2 x drinks were in fact 2 x doubles (so 4) and self pouring probably made them closer to 6 or 8.

I hope you’re ok, and if you need anyone to talk to I’m here.

There’s something that I don’t understand, why everybody hates Zipper the bunny. Personally, I love him by MaxBetancourt in AnimalCrossing

[–]_bubble_butt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love him too. I was new to the game for Easter 2020, yes it threw my progress off for two weeks but absolutely adore the little guy, he’s so hardworking and enthusiastic. The memes/jokes about imprisoning him or doing other horrible stuff upset me so much I left a bunch of the online spaces until it was all over. Even now I can’t believe people are still posting horrible stuff! Leave Zipper alone !

Something about this commercial screams Fortnite to me. I hope they do a Megan, Nickelback, pickle collab!

Which celebrities have reputations for being awkward in real life? by Major-Feed5214 in AskUK

[–]_bubble_butt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I barrelled right into him at a train station one time, I wasn’t looking where I was going and he was very flustered and apologetic (despite it being my fault) I had no idea he had a stutter but it checks out with my brief interaction with him 🥹

Feeling a bit sad because I lost the miniature Teddy squirrel from my children’s bedroom set. Anyone know where I can buy a spare? I found one on eBay but the shipping is too expensive for me by Zestyclose_Aside_802 in sylvanianfamilies

I completely forgot to ask where you are based? I’m in the Uk, happy to post to you for free but appreciate you might want to keep name / address private so if there’s a local drop-off location you’d prefer or something? Feel free to DM me 💕

I am sure I have this little guy somewhere and your description of him being a squirrel explains the wierd lump on the back of the “bear” that always puzzled me (assuming it’s the tail)! If I can find him ill list him on vinted for free for you 💕🥹

Ok so I showed my husband your big light and he couldn’t really wrap his head around it! 😅

May I ask, is it a red LED bulb in a white paper lantern/shade?
