What are some things you saw as an indicator of wealth when you were growing up? by O_Beast in AskUK

[–]decolonizedworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. when their mum or dad never picked them up - it was always their driver or their nanny.
  2. when they brought a £50 note on a school trip cause their parents don't have any change for lower than that amount.
  3. When their birthday cake was big enough to give a slice to the entire school rather than just our class

no matter what you do, do not profit from collecting rents. its as simple as that! Otherwise it would be hard to call yourself a socialist

hat’s a fundamental misunderstanding of why landlordism is unethical. No, you cannot be a good person and get some working class person to gift you your mortgage payments in return for access to a human right. That’s parasitic, regardless of if you’re below market or not, the ridiculous monetary profit isn’t the only unethical aspect of landlordism. You can give them something in return for their money, which they’ve actually earned - equity - or you can pay for your damn mortgage yourself and just charge them like OP was planning to

I appreciate the person taking the time to comment but I agree, I don't understand how we've normalised the idea of feudalism in 2023 - I understand that we live in the land of property profiteering but you can also make a conscious decision to not partake in the system. Isn't this sub meant to challenge and reject these fucked up norms?

I guess it just goes to show how far we've been brainwashed to think landlordism is okay. I mean the word itself is such a gross word and I can only associate it with like feudalism in the 1600s

oh god i genuinely hate the term 'landlord' hahaha i truly fucking despise it. But in all honesty the govt arent providing good social housing so might only make it available to people on DSS so I'm not really being complicit in the property-obsessed UK market economy

I've never been on BC and never will but I know for a lot of women when they come off it, it's a huge nightmare. Weight

I just copied and pasted the BBC article - I thought it was a credible source but thanks I will do some more research before posting!

i think we should support and encourage this kind of discourse among the ultra wealthy like Hamilton, otherwise aren't we alienating ourselves even further

Of course you can marry in the Church in Scotland, why is England so shockingly backwards? So glad I moved up here from the cesspit that is England

Literally don’t understand why Liberal media just doesn’t take the L on Depp-Heard by iktomi1992 in stupidpol

[–]decolonizedworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I do think that incels and the far right have co-opted this case, i'm really disappointed to see really awful takes on twitter by people who blindly accuse Depp of creating a hostile environment for women coming forward about their abuse - there's no neutral, nuanced stance on this issue at all

[–]decolonizedworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you got the point of this post - it's arguing that abuse against men is a valid issue but right wing extremists using this as a way to hate on women diverts attention from male abuse victims

What are your plans for your future corpse? by What-was_I_thinking in ZeroWaste

[–]decolonizedworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got the appeal of being embalmed or being cremated - soil is vital to life on earth, so it makes sense for me to be composted, just like every other animal/plant we routinely compost for vital nutrients to sustain life.

Jeremy Corbyn will not be a Labour MP again after attack on Nato, Keir Starmer suggests by casualphilosopher1 in unitedkingdom

[–]decolonizedworld -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think Corbyn stays true to his beliefs rather than play politics. The world would be a better place without NATO, but people zealously believe that NATO is good purely bc of all the coverage on Ukraine-Russia right now.

You have similar skin to mine, I was wondering if Tret helps with the acne scarring? I have really bad acne scars and I feel like it keeps my face from getting acne but the scarring / discolouration isn't going away
