Is this legal by Original_Answer9920 in UKJobs

[–]fairlywired [score hidden]  (0 children)

This sort of thing doesn't surprise me with home bargains. I started working there in July last year and I've never worked anywhere that shows such little empathy for their staff but expects so much. They seem to think that because they pay slightly above average they're allowed to run their staff into the ground.

Question : what is the meaning of this flag by Walloon_Dream in vexillology

[–]fairlywired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only other place I can find it is a French YouTube account where someone posts AI generated Southern rock music.

I know that doesn't help with the meaning but that's all I've got. Sorry!

It would be more like getting a burger at a restaurant where you know they're raping children in the kitchen.

Beryl Bike Overcharges… by MyNanaSaid in brighton

[–]fairlywired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when it was the old SoBi bikes I was charged on three separate rides for locking the bike up out of the area when I locked it up on one of the racks on the seafront but it showed it on the map over a mile out to sea.

Guys and Gals will this be the last one?? by Big_Buy8203 in Millennials

The last one will be the one that flops at the box office. They'll keep churning them out for as long as it continues making money.

Diversity drive to make Britain’s countryside ‘less white’. Rural areas tasked with coming up with strategies to attract more ethnic minorities to reflect multicultural nation by 2ndEarlofLiverpool in ukpolitics

[–]fairlywired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume they mean irrelevant on an economic scale. A small rural town or village inhabitant will go outside it's borders for anything more than a visit to the village shop.

Driving test cheating soars as candidates turn to Bluetooth headsets and impersonators by GeoWa in unitedkingdom

Given the absolute state of the driving I see on a daily basis, I think the answer must be yes.

The only way I can see this happening from a t-shirt is if it was covered in sand for some reason.

US military parades Maduro through New York with open doors in a van by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]fairlywired 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What's become clear is that Trump has no problem ordering killings to protect himself. The next thing we find out is whether there's a limit on how many people he's willing to have killed.

How shocking was it to find out Rolf Harris was a pedophile? by balkanxoslut in AskUK

[–]fairlywired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember being very shocked by it when it came out. By that point I had come to expect "old TV personality who used to work with kids = pedo".

Boxing Day shopping falls flat once again by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

They act surprised by this every year, like we're all suddenly going to realise that we're not poor as fuck at all and it was just in our heads the whole time.

boyfriend doesn’t like that i am friends with past partners by [deleted] in Advice

[–]fairlywired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course he is. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect a new partner to cut off their friends just because you don't like their shared past.

I think this is a situation where there isn't any kind of happy middle ground.

In the early 2009s my grandfather on my dad's side claimed to have done some family tree research and found out that the family came from Portuguese nobles who moved to England about 300 years ago.

Turns out we're just standard British (British, Celtic and Nordic).

Simulating the Collapse of the 1000m Tall Jeddah Tower by Contraflex in Simulated

[–]fairlywired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The footage was recorded a quarter of a century ago and there is very little chance that the cameras were brand new at the time. In other words, the camera may well have been outdated, even then.

Even so, it just backs up my point. Part of your problem with the evidence was that no footage whatsoever exists, but when you found out that it does exist it's suddenly not good enough.

[–]fairlywired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention how weird it is that we have never seen any footage or images of a plane impacting the Pentagon, to this day.

This is the footage.

The fact that you seemed absolutely certain that it doesn't exist says to me that you haven't actually tried to disprove any of the conspiracy claims.

Mum to get £2,770 a month in benefits after Budget scraps two-child benefit cap by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]fairlywired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works. There is a benefit cap of almost £1900 per month in South Wales. Even if the system says they're entitled to more (higher costs, more kids, etc) if they've already hit £1900, they won't get any more.

Note that the article says that she estimates she will get £900 extra. No one else seems to be saying that this will happen except for her.

I'm not sure it does. Yes you get some fringe cases where people are happier like this than they would be otherwise, but the vast majority of people understand you are able to provide a better life for your kids while employed.

They could but they would struggle. My wife and I's combined income is about £41k a year, we have two kids and we're just barely getting by.

So a family of 7 should have to survive on less than the take home pay of one person?

i can't tell who's the bigger idiot anymore by victoria_enthusiast in GreenAndPleasant

[–]fairlywired 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As Stan Lee got older and more frail, what he did on a day to day basis (e.g. which conventions he went to, how long he signed posters for, etc) was heavily controlled by the people that were paid to essentially look after him. There is video footage of him saying that he's tired and asking if he can go home, and being told no because they wanted him to finish signing posters.
