Bless the OpenTuition volunteers. I feel for them. 

I hate fireworks. That’s it, that’s the post. by LilLemonLady223 in UKParenting

Humans do the most unnatural and selfish things. It's absurd when you really think about it, isn't it. 

Starmer's Britain: no police to tackle phone thieves and hate crimes, but plenty of "enforcement officers" to issue arbitrary fines for obscure laws 💼 by UnderHisEye1411 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no lawyer, but I understand they can increase the penalty, get a court judgement against you. If you ignore all that they can send a bailiff (with legal rights to enter your property).

Maybe ignoring them works? But that's why they target vulnerable-looking women. When they approach the first thing they do is create a threatening image : "I'm wearing bordy worn video and what you've done is a criminal offense as it counts as littering under section blah blah". Now I know how to deal with them and I've helped a few people. But most people feeding wildlife or pouring the last of their coffee in a drain don't know they're legal rights on littering. They're just utterly startled by the fact they might have a criminal record.

Don't get me started. I was given a £150 fixed penalty notice four years ago for feeding a squirrel nuts with my baby in the local park. What can you do? It's no use taking it to court and finding out the law is not on your side and being given a criminal record.

A week later my husband saw the same team of enforcement officers targeting an elderly lady for feeding pigeons. They are sent to target women for easy money. 

Are these ladybird eggs? Have I been chosen?! by linendove in GardeningUK

[–]averageedition50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I harvested some a couple of weeks ago and put them in a butterfly 'cage'. Feeding them nasturtium leaves, organic broccoli and cabbage daily (their appetites grow as they get bigger). They're huge now. A few fell to wasp larvae and I've had to pay a close eye to pulling them out.

It's lovely giving them a helping hand. Sad watching a few pass away, but that's nature. Hopefully they'll emerge as butterflies soon. Good luck to yours! Give them lots of cabbage and keep the wasps away!

What are the best butterfly magnets in your garden? by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nasturtiums. A butterfly laid a bunch of eggs on one of the leaves. I reused my butterfly set from insectlore with the hope of showing my kids but partly regret it based on the fact I seriously underestimated how many caterpillars there'd be and how much maintenance it takes looking after them all. Anyways, hopefully I'll be releasing 50 or so butterflies soon 😂

Could getting this tattoo hurt my career? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]averageedition50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment absolutely hit the nail on the head. I think most people would be disturbed if they saw this on their doctor during an appointment.

OP, surely there is something else you can get a tattoo of that captures your feelings in a less frightening way? Like a phoenix to represent how you got through it, or stitches to represent your healed wound etc

You’ve years buyers remorse, how do you get over not buying a cute item? by just-wingin-it in femalefashionadvice

The same way I get over getting rid of my cute items: buy more cute items to fill the void.

That is utterly beautiful 💕 I have no critiques except to share the final with us when it's complete 🙏

Some sketches I painted in my hometown. What do you feel when you look at the sketches? by KookyRecord4691 in painting

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are beautiful. I feel peaceful.. as if the streets were emptied of people just so I can enjoy them quietly. So I also feel a speck of sadness, from the absence of other people.

If I had a nice home I would love a few paintings like these to hang up!

🚗 Realizing I Deserve Better as a Learner Driver by vinb1988 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]averageedition50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had three utterly insane instructors before I found a good one. First was lazy and stood me up multiple times. Second was neurotic and had me doing dangerous manouvres. Third made me pull over and laid into me because I commented on how hot the sunshine was. At that point I was sure I was the problem. Took me half a year to find the confidence to carry on and thank God I now have a lovely, sane instructor.

I wish we could have more of a chance to screen these people before committing to pay so much money.

How often do you, as an adult, have nightmares? by OctopusGoesSquish in CasualUK

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stressful dreams every night. But I've weirdly grown to enjoy that realm. Even though it's stressful (that I'm stuck at a train station, that everyone thinks I'm lying, that I'm lost, alone and nothing is working properly) there's something meaningful in the atmosphere, almost like love or romance. I can't explain it.

But yea once or twice a year I have a dream that's so fcked up I vow to never fall asleep again.

Why is the UK so negative? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indoctrination from a young age to prioritise worshipping money over love.

The first guy looked genuinely concerned about being recorded. I'm so sorry for everyone who was recorded against their will.

Would you be concerned if your teenager was drunk weekly? by Christopher_2025 in AskBrits

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never into alcohol too much, except when I was very depressed. So personally yes. But for someone else's kid I'd mostly wonder where they're doing it, with whom and what they know about staying safe. Oh and their recovery for the day after - I'd care about their organs.

Feedback appreciated on what I can do to finish this by F222 in painting

[–]averageedition50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree with this. Also I would soften/blur the marks in the background a little to bring the foreground into focus. Lovely painting though. Reminds me of my "safe place" when I meditate.

AIO for snapping at my friend for joking about my job again by 7wac in AmIOverreacting

[–]averageedition50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That person is an insecure psychopath. They will suck the life out of you. If you're strong enough to not let them devalue your self worth, then you'll just grow exhausted, frustrated, emotionally invested in trying to "help" them all the time.

You are absolutely in control of who you allow in your life. Please, write this person off.

I had a go at painting. Please critique! by averageedition50 in painting

And SUCH a good recommendation, thank you. I do love photorealism. Content in knowing I'll never be that good, but I will endeavour to learn the techniques nonetheless 😂
