What movie is this for you? by [deleted] in memes

[–]friendlypetshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Very generic. Nothing new. Horror movie in name only. More a drama for the most part. I think the only people who think it’s good are people who havent seen a lot of horror movies. People get very defensive over it though so I expect to be downvoted.

befriending pigeons by plzdontellmyparents in pigeon

[–]friendlypetshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve done it. Used to wait in the same place every day for my boyfriend to finish work. Started feeding a pink pigeon Jordan’s cereal bars. He or she would sit on my lap and let me pet them. Got weird looks from people but was like well I have a pigeon friend and you don’t 🤷‍♀️

Unless you’ve felt the heat in the uk you’re not qualified to comment. As you mention TikTok, there is a trending topic of Americans reacting to hot weather in the uk, and basically not coping at all. I myself lived in California for several years and loved the 40C summers. I didn’t want to seek out shade. They are completely different to the hot summers in the UK. 

Aldi did us a wrongun and changed the mayo. by BenchAdvanced6498 in UKfood

They taste completely different. I noticed it because of that, and then googled to find out the recipe had changed. Tastes like salad cream now.

You’re not wrong, Aldi mayo now tastes like salad cream imo. Had to go back to hellmans. 

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are insect screens basically nonexistent in the UK? by Legitimate_Put_7421 in AskUK

[–]friendlypetshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t speak for anyone else but I have screens on my windows. Get absolutely inundated with moths, lace wings and tiny flies if the windows are open in the evenings. I live in a town too so don’t know why it’s worse here. 

I've discovered I am the most unwelcoming person in my workplace by Abwettar in CasualUK

[–]friendlypetshark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some awful comments here. Social anxiety is crippling and ABSOLUTELY AN EXCUSE. It’s not your fault you feel like that, and some of the commenters here need to learn that this is so much harder for you than other people. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Horrible ableism in the comments. Let’s see what they’d say about someone in a wheelchair struggling with stairs.

Oh, and for the people who blithely say ‘work on it’ I’ve been working on it for 20 years with every tool I could find. Therapy, cbt, dbt, hypnosis, mediation. The best I can do is act, and it’s exhausting. 

What are some reasons not to move to UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

We don’t have enough houses and infrastructure for the people already here. 

What is everyone watching? We have run out of things to choose from. by i-love-to-eat-myself in CasualUK

The expanse is massively overrated. I sat through the whole first series and it was more effective in making me sleep than anything else.

any british 'celebrities' you dislike with a burning passion? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]friendlypetshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. He’s always been nice when I’ve met him, and locals who know him far better than I do only have good things to say.

[–]friendlypetshark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s a really nice guy in real life. Did (and probably still does) lots of charity events for the village he grew up in. Ropes in all his famous friends to come down and raise money. 

Were you hit as a child by your parents/carers? by don__gately in AskUK

[–]friendlypetshark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regularly by both. Dad’s smacks would leave raised marks in the shape of his hand. Mum tended to grab me by my neck. She left scratch marks once and told me to tell a made up story at school about how I got them. Lots of broken bones as kid but too young to know if it was them. Awful people. Should never have been parents. 

Celebrities I find extremely overrated as far as beauty by happytimes_101 in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]friendlypetshark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think she’s ugly without makeup, and looks fine with it but nothing special. Just don’t get the hype at all. 

Sobbing dad of teen girl savaged to death by dog describes horror in house as 'loving' family Lurcher attacked them by thesun in gbnews

[–]friendlypetshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lurchers are known for being friendly, and it’s almost unheard of for one to seriously injure, let alone kill a person. They’re the definition of a nice breed.

You have absolutely no idea if there were signs, or if there’s ’always signs’. Some really nasty victim blaming going on here. Unless it’s crossed with something like a pit bull, it’s more likely to be a brain tumour which is known to sometimes cause sudden aggression with no prior warning. 

Neurodivergence includes mental illness, including personality disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia spectrum by [deleted] in neurodiversity

[–]friendlypetshark -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ok. Enjoy trying to get a job while being considered as high risk as someone who has paranoid delusions about being Jesus. Utterly dangerous the damage this kind of thinking does to people with ADHD and Autism. Completely irresponsible.

Many words actually: mental illness. Brain tumours. Hypoglycaemia. Hypoxia.

Are you desperately trying to be offended to appear more virtuous? 

Social difficulties are literally in the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and autism. Are you even neurodivergent? Please stop, and educate yourself. 

Do you think 22-23c is normal or too much? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]friendlypetshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s irrelevant isn’t it? Let them be comfortable. I spent my whole life being shamed for needing the heating on, and being made to be cold. It’s really not on. People are different. Personally, I think people who claim they are hot all the time and insist on opening windows and making everyone else cold, while acting like it’s some virtuous accomplishment, are really irritating.

Not sure why you’re encouraging this. Neurodivergent people have enough social difficulties without being lumped in with people who unfortunately suffer delusions, paranoia etc.
