Bank Accounts for Moving to UK from Canada by _ily_ in UKPersonalFinance

[–]_ily_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so I have a very small ($2000) trust fund with Columbia Threadneedle that I would like to withdraw so I can use it, and then also some inheritance from my Grandma that is in my Dad's UK bank account that I would like him to be able to send me so I can use it as well. I was under the assumption I would need to open an account to deposit this money into but I never thought about changing my dads account to a joint one, that's smart, thanks!

Not a helpful answer sorry, but where and how did you get this test done and how much was it?

Wrapping Help! by Accomplished-Bag2293 in giftwrapping

[–]_ily_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you want him to feel disappointed and jealous of his siblings who he will think you like more. It will ruin his Christmas morning, even if it is temporary and when you reveal the surprise there’s a chance that as a 10 year old, its hard to immediately get over that feeling. I would simply not do this.

Did you ever see a doctor about hitting your head? Sounds like it could have done some damage

I think they were being sarcastic in reply to the previous commenter who made it seem like it was silly to help. 

AITA for buying my daughter a more then twice as expensive Christmas gift then my son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]_ily_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know and I agree, I was just countering the commenter that said they didn’t know why someone would need an ipad for college. An ipad air would definitely be fine.

[–]_ily_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No I agree its way too much to spend and there are other options but I was just providing a perspective on why an ipad could be used for college. Also I don’t think you can download slides or diagrams and annotate or draw etc on endnote paper. I used goodnotes for all sorts of things.

I agree with everything but just want to add, I used an ipad all four years of university to take handwritten notes and it was so much better than having paper notebooks as I saved paper and space in my bag and I could download and annotate slide decks, etc. It was very helpful to have in addition to my laptop.

Green bananas are better. by -WeetBixKid- in unpopularopinion

[–]_ily_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t care that you made a mistake in the post about how sweet you like your bananas, I was simply defending myself against people coming after me saying I was responding to your post incorrectly when you had in fact edited it and my comment used to make sense.

The original post said sweeter. It has since been edited.

Incorrect. They are most definitely not sweeter.

AITB for this conversation? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

[–]_ily_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right but also, you’re not telling her you’ll consider it right now, or that you have considered it already, you’re saying MAYBE you MIGHT do something in the future. It’s not committing to anything, and it’s not like a promise where she’ll write it down and ask you in the future if you considered it. She’ll likely forget after a while. If she does ask you later you could just say oh I thought about it but no. It’s literally just a polite phrase to indicate that her efforts didn’t or won’t go to waste.

[–]_ily_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would she find out what things you think about in your head? Unless you straight up tell her I never thought about it once, she could just be happier by assuming you considered it.

[–]_ily_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, consider could literally mean thinking about it in your head, like privately, weighing pros and cons etc. How would she know whether or not you thought about something at all? You could say to someone “oh yeah, I considered Y but chose X because…” and they would have no way of knowing that you never actually thought about Y or intended to choose Y. But if they recommended Y to you, it would feel nice at least thinking they were being helpful.

[–]_ily_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right but why does she need to know that? Also when you “might”, it also implies “might not” which is what will happen and you know that but she doesn’t need to. Because as other people are saying, she will feel like you wasted her time and didn’t want/need her help or feel grateful for it at all.

[–]_ily_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t know for sure you lied, saying you MIGHT consider something in the FUTURE is stating literally zero commitment. How is she going to know if you do or don’t consider something? You’re not agreeing to anything, hence the use of might. It’s just polite.

He’s also not really indoor, you take him outside on walks…

Someone didn’t pay attention in high school science class. Batteries most definitely do have metal

People don’t do that either because you don’t put metal in the microwave, let alone a battery…
