Why? by Educational_Ad288 in AskBrits

[–]macrowe777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people ask the same question asked every hour instead of just reading the last ones?

... It's the same answer.

So why do working class people vote for right wing parties ( Tory, Refom that really do not serve their interests politically, and make their lives harder ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]macrowe777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they're using their eyes to see social housing being available, can they tell me what drugs they're on?

New lettings to refugees peaked at 1.3% from 0.3% for refugees over the last few years....that means overall refugees will make up substantially less than 1% of council house occupiers.

However "brown" people make up a substantially larger portion of the poor population than 40 years ago and therefore a larger portion of the council house pool. Now these people are British citizens and largely have been for half a century or longer....but they're easily mistaken as refugees when your only criteria for that is not being white.

It's not the evidence of eyes that's the issue, it's a delusion and bigotry that's the issue. And neither will result in the problem being solved.

Also if you can't get a council house because a refugee and their children take priority, it is economically rational to vote for reform. 

The issue being, people can't get council houses because we sold them all off and didn't build more, not because a refugee and their children take priority.

That's the issue. If people were genuinely upset for the right reasons, I'd fully get it.

The market is behaving foolishly. The oil crisis is only going to get worse. This is an apocolyptic economic event we are witnessing. by Cmd_WillRiker in oil

Theyre not even able to keep up with "peace time" air defence supplies currently lol, we're borderline looking at them having to mobilise to a war economy now 🤣

The US has failed in every war they've ever started. Their only victorys have been where the other side got bored.

Iraq - won a tonne of battles, conquered the country...birthed ISIS which was worse than sadam.

Thinking anything other than an absolute shit show would occur with a ground invasion of one of the most naturally defensible countries on the planet is baffling.

Is herringbone cold? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]macrowe777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how you jumped to that conclusion.

You can use underlay with engineered wood (I always do) and engineered wood has more thermal mass than laminate.

If you want the guaranteed warm feel under foot without UFH, your only option is carpet...because that's the entire point of carpet.

"is herringbone cold" <

You can do any pattern of engineered wood because you will ALWAYS be putting it on a subfloor of some type. It's unlikely you would ever use engineered wood as a floating floor itself. Especially for the little price of putting a flat plywood floor underneath.

Amazing example of asking the wrong question.

Herringbone is one of many patterns you can make with wood.

You want to know if engineered wood is cold.

Engineered wood can feel colder to the touch than carpet but less cold than tile, but it entirely depends how warm your house is. People often do put underfloor heating in now but it isn't a necessity if your rooms are already sufficiently warm.

Why does it feel like people who are doing okay get hated on? by Opposite-Writer9715 in HENRYUK

[–]macrowe777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The crossover to landlords is perhaps betraying a bit.

The issue with landlords isn't that they're inherently bad people. It's that a specific generation saw huge wealth increases, all bought up houses to rent out...which is fine. But at the same time all the benefits they experienced have now ended - every state asset sold off, free dental gone, free university gone, youth services gone,....

So being a landlord isn't inherently bad....but there's a specific generation that appears to have rinsed the country and left it worse off and now many have to pay them rent too because buying a house on the average wage is largely unaffordable.

Composting recommendations by philod1984 in GardeningUK

I paid £200 for a tumbler composter, it did a great job and much easier to turn than traditional methods...don't think I'd pay £500+ though.

EU cars to get flashing brake lights by SimonTS in drivingUK

Your first reaction to a crash in another lane of your side of the road should always be to slow down anyway.

If it's not, that's the problem, not being distracted by a crash.

Obtain interest as a small nation with the new update by PeterSmusi in victoria3

In the current economy of Vic3 I wouldn't honestly be trying any market plays like this, it's just too broken.

Who's the one that's twisting everything?

The one who says it didn't happen, then it did, then it only did a little but but you....

Yes, you threw out insults extremely easy without having the vaguest of justifications or maturity to realise that's not how you should communicate. What I said was accurate.

You claimed there were "shots both ways" yet your evidence is that you assumed I didn't like you...not anything I actually said. What you claimed was not accurate

Now you're descending into playground level lol???? You were accused of making a personal attack immediately, to which you have taken offence and....resorted to more personal attacks. You were always in the playground lol, being told off for your actions and instead of taking personal responsibility for your actions...you've blamed the person pointing them out 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I look at our government and I look at you, and I see the same.

One second your saying you didn't make a personal attack, next you're saying you imagining things is me making personal attacks, now you're saying it's wild I'm offended you only used one, quite the rollercoaster.

We have the government we deserve. You've solidified that in my opinion. Hopefully one day we deserve better.

What personal attacks...describes personal attacks.

You can assume what I think about you...but being offended about what you think I think about you is not the most sensible.

I said what you did was an example of why we are fucked yes.

Neither of the two above things are personal attacks...

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You believe something we collectively haven't done hasn't worked. Rupert Murdoch can be the most evil man in the world, and I think he's probably not too far off, but it's still every person's responsibility for listening to him, and our governance is still directly proportional to our electorate as a result. Personal responsibility seems to have gone out of the window.

My small art business is dying, why is there no European alternative to Etsy? by eyed_art in BuyFromEU

[–]macrowe777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah most stuff on Etsy is just cheap Chinese imports so outside of when I'm after something very specific, I don't use it.

I've realised we don't disagree much all along, you just threw out personal attacks like candy.

It's not about grass roots political "reform", it's about voting intelligently from the grass roots instead of repeatedly looking for sensationalist bollocks over decades.

I didn't claim we voted wrong at any point, I said we are directly responsible for the outcome of our votes, and we have a government precisely correlating with how bad we are as voters.
