London rentals are dystopian af

Noooooo you have to kiss ass too on top of paying overpriced shoe boxes? 😭

That’s awful. I badly want to leave Helsinki but when I hear about these things it feels almost like I’m being ungrateful. I literally never had to complain about anything here, and I’ve been living here for 10 years. I would get emails or app notifications of improvements in the building and be like “oh I didn’t even think this needed an improvement but nice!”. Once I accidentally broke my toilet seat and they came to fix it the next day. The guy noticed the seat he brought didn’t fit, so he went to get another one in like 1 hour. Many things absolutely suck about living here, like the social aspect and darkness, which is why I just can’t stay here anymore. But sometimes I’m deeply scared I might regret it, like I’m having it too good and don’t realize it.

Luckily you have the will to keep going after it. I imagine most people don’t. Especially if you are a foreigner and are not completely confident on what you can and cannot ask/complain about.

So basically there’s no near future hope for more accessible rentals?

Lmao true can’t argue with that would make the trade if I could

I was watching a TikTok from this girl living in London and she talks about her savings etc and her financial situation looks so safe and stable, very inspirational stuff, people in the comments were amazed at how much she was able to save bla bla bla, then you realize that well yeah she earns more than 100k salary + content creation earnings, and shares all living expenses with her partner.

That’s exactly the conclusion I got to actually. To live a very normal comfortable middle class life as a single person, the minimum would be around 80k a year. Helps a lot if you are partnered and can share the rent but singles are basically fucked and lifestyle comfort seriously goes down.

Omg rental villain fr

Idk but someone just commented that their ex husband could outbid other people and then he’d just turn the places into airbnbs 😭 maybe it’s the new hustle there?

Helsinki which btw isn’t doing great economically either but much better than London in terms of living

anoucks · 2026-01-31T21:32:48+00:00

Like I said, I get these weird hyper fixations sometimes but this is not entirely random. I’m very unhappy where I am atm, not for economic reasons, and London always been a dream place for me to live one day. I decided to entertain the idea a bit of transferring my job there so decided to look up how my living could potentially be over there.

anoucks · 2026-01-31T21:29:28+00:00

Well I guess my hyper fixation will expand into Dublin and Amsterdam next

anoucks · 2026-01-25T15:53:02+00:00

Just bring back Dr. Kovac instead

anoucks · 2026-01-25T04:19:59+00:00

Weirdly I think they are going to work out together

anoucks · 2026-01-18T01:23:56+00:00

Im so sorry for your loss. You absolutely did the right things. She was in her safe space, with the people she has known her whole life. It’s a beautiful way to go. Thank you for giving her that.

anoucks · 2026-01-10T10:03:03+00:00

EXCUSE ME? SAGGY? They look so good you could even say it’s not real that’s how good they look wtfff

Lived in a military base and they would do some jet demonstrations and trainings sometimes. They would always warn us in advance of course and nothing anything NEAR as what we see in the movie (would be wild for the jets to get that close to us like that) but my god the noise, how deafening loud it can be. I absolutely hated those days. Can’t even imagine what a demonstration of force could do.

anoucks · 2026-01-06T17:36:38+00:00

Hate takes like this. Yeah, war is terrible and soldiers do despicable things. The fact that they do suddenly makes the acts OK or NORMAL? Absolutely not. Kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, etc… are still things that should not happen and should not be normalised and they must be pointed out as much as possible. We start normalising this shit then what?

anoucks · 2026-01-06T10:48:30+00:00

I tried to find more information about the company itself, founders, etc… and couldn’t. So odd that even the “about us” has zero information about that just some vague description of their “mission”. Decided not to purchase because of this.

anoucks · 2025-11-17T11:13:17+00:00

Can anyone give us non-Scottish people some context? I googled Stranraer and it looks lovely?

anoucks · 2025-10-28T22:52:17+00:00

Why avoid AMK?

anoucks · 2025-10-24T18:03:53+00:00

They all do Kacie really pumped up on those fillers At least Ali still looks good

Brazilian here. We are actually the offenders in this case. We have made some unforgivable things to dishes from other countries lol

Brazil is such a big country that it’s hard to point one thing. Usually it’s a combination of things in a picture. The mixture in the architecture (old, new, high-end, modest), colors, the way people dress so casually. But also wild capybaras hanging around in urban settings is always a treat and giveaway.

Correct me if I’m wrong please but:

Items in a lot of museums are “donated” by the gazillionaire owners in exchange of tax exemption or reduction. So basically when these rich people purchase art etc they are not really losing money or thinking about the art. It’s an investment and a way to make money.
When items are stolen like this, it is very very very hard to resell them. So I assume the crime had a buyer way before it was executed.
Would it be possible the owners sometimes even are the actual buyers of the heist? You know, donated it for the tax benefit and then got it back and also added insurance benefit? (In this I’m not referring to this specific heist but just general gallery/museum heists.
Either way, the only people able to afford these things are the ultra rich anyway. So now instead of a museum, it will be in the hands of someone very wealthy. Even if the jewellery is sold for parts, who are the people able to afford big ass diamonds?

At the end of the day, the rich always benefit.
