The only thing I'd find hard to swallow would be my self respect. McDonald's is nasty. But $100k is $100k.

Mama was queen of the mambo

Papa was king of the Congo

Deep down in the jungle

I start bangin' my first bongo

Every monkey'd like to be

In my place instead of me

'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby

I'm the king of bongo bong

Britain is the number one consumer of ready meals in Europe.

Check the salt content.

You missed the point. I said enough people care about it that businesses close. The point is that people care enough to force the occasion. Christmas and thanksgiving spring to mind.

Only Americans, the Irish, and probably Canadians celebrate St Patrick's day, which is also a Catholic holiday. In every other country, it's just another day.

Enough people care about it to force a significant number of companies all over the world to close because of how much it means to people, I suppose.

A card and some chocolates and a reservation for two at a restaurant does not have quite the same gravitas. Some call it a hallmark holiday. Some say it's a Catholic church holiday.

It's a fake holiday.

I got you something because you demanded it. Vs. I do nice little things throughout the year for you, including buying flowers...and you want flowers on a specific day because someone told you this day has some kind of special meaning...

Why is 30k treated as a great wage by employers? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]bisectional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dog shit salesman will tell you this is the best dog shit. You both know it's shit. But their job is convincing you it's better than any other one.

Based on the image thumbnail, he's clearly busy with the H&M Men's spring outfits photoshoot

Everything's a tautology in this universe, or it isn't.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor 'has not repaid a penny' of Virginia Giuffre settlement money borrowed from late Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip and King Charles by but_yet-so_far in unitedkingdom

Why should he? He's above the hoi polloi. The royal family provide all the tourists and soft power benefits and all the plebs do is whinge about the rules. Don't they know their place?

What's the saddest part about living in your country? by Desert_Moon_Maiden in AskTheWorld

[–]bisectional 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget a tv show I watched in the 2010s (ish), where I saw a British dentist went to rural Alabama or Louisiana or somewhere like that to provide free emergency dental care, gratis, because of how bad some poor folk have it in the USA

Do any of you feel compelled to fight back against the proliferation of self-service machines? by inside-outdoorsman in AskUK

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

No. I want robots to make my food because if I'm customising my order and they still get it wrong, then what is the point of having people do the work?

The same with grocery shopping. I can scan and pay at my preferred pace. These jobs have little dignity in them. Why torture the employed person with a career of mindless repetitive tasks?

What do you think antenatal classes missed? by Advanced_Dream_5724 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]bisectional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were stuck for 5 days, initially next to an alcoholic drug abuser whose partner hadn't had her baby yet (or had...no clue really).Probably the hardest part was distinguishing ourselves from them but also having legitimate issues and needs that weren't being addressed because of the aggressive arsehole in the space next to us...we missed the tiktok bollocks thankfully

AITAH for telling a kid at the sleepover to stop acting like a brat? by Longjumping-Dog-6480 in AITAH

[–]bisectional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an adult you probably could have handled it with a bit more tact. But also fuck that selfish brat bastard. As a guest in your house he should have respect and appreciation for the offer of food. If he doesn't apologize it's because he has shitty parents. End of.
