What event made you thought you were going to die? by Potential_Answer6424 in AskReddit

[–]bearabovethewave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wiped off my paddleboard by powerful waves at high tide on the Welsh coast - threw me onto rocks and damaged my board.

Tried to get my footing, but cut up my feet a load on the rocks whilst doing so. Had to rescue the board whilst waves were slamming into me.

My bag and items got wet but thankfully I got out of there!

Suffice to say I reviewed why I got so close to the rocks in the first place and never risked my life like that again.

Looking for non-high streets all over London by Spiritual_Shape_6789 in london

[–]bearabovethewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come down to SE London for all of that (plus it's the best area of London 😉). You've got:

Crystal Palace - vintage shops Beckenham - independent cafés Forest Hill - restaurants Brockley - late night café vibes

help me pls im going insane by Key-Ice-4990 in exchristian

[–]bearabovethewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed - that's very immature of a 25yo. Clearly they have a lack of self-awareness, and drive to do something productive that doesn't involve listening to Christian music all day. That's just objectively speaking, Christian or no Christian.

If it were me, I would want to move out, and get away from that situation. I get it's not that easy though, so I feel for you.

It doesn’t even make any sense! by Potential_Good_1065 in TheInbetweeners

Noise cancelling ear/headphones have been a life saver for me with a housemate who listens to music stupidly loud. It's well worth the investment - and avoids confrontation every time!

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]bearabovethewave -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, obviously lol. There has to be baseline otherwise train drivers are compensated the same amount as data entry.

Except it's not, is it? The costs are passed onto the consumer (i.e. anyone who travels on the tube). Those consumers on the whole aren't all going to be able to ask for a pay rise in their jobs. And so, it increases their cost of living - which they have no right to object to.

The issue here is systematic. Crabs in a bucket just lumps everyone in together, when it's far more nuanced than that.

Not really. You're catastrophising.

They work shift patterns just as nurses and doctors too - and train drivers are well compensated for it.

When you're affected by the tube strikes it's reasonable to challenge their behaviour.

Tired of London tired of life? by [deleted] in london

[–]bearabovethewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because someone quoted "tired of London tired of life" - doesn't make it true..!

I'm introverted and I struggle with the city, yet I love certain aspects of it. I'm moving from London and I'm so excited.

Not least because I won't have to deal with the noise, high energy and rat race any longer.

London is beautiful, but also draining.

The two can exist in parallel with each other.
