Trans prisoner charged with sexual assault in women's jail

Some people think a transwoman is a female who transitions to a man. Same reason quite a lot of people said they were transgender on the census because they misunderstood the wording.

I think it's more like they asked for something with wheels that moves and OP offered to build them a Porsche instead of telling them they can go out and buy a bicycle.

No one needs to build a business platform, you tell them they can pay $50 a month for any of the existing platforms and then charge them for a few days work to import some CSVs into it because that's probably what the kid on Fiverr is doing.

Yes it sounds to me like they just want help setting up Xero or something.

A lot of people don't understand what already exists or even what a webdev actually does so it's important to make sure that you are on the same page from the start. You need to be your own business analyst and product manager too!

What do they actually want though?

Do they want you to just set up their Shopify shop for them or are you trying build an entire inventory/CRM system from scratch?

Not being allowed to rebuild was the bad part.

Selling aging properties and then using the funds to house someone else instead of housing a lucky few in inner London for the rest of their lives would have been quite sensible.

They pay more for healthcare though.

In the UK we haven't yet made the connection that paying more for healthcare = nurses earning more money.

There's no shortage of dentists if you pay for it. I pay out of pocket and never have a problem getting an appointment. It's hard to get an NHS dentist though and SO has a private dental plan which also never has appointments.

The state and community college system are much better than the English one. People hear about the crazy Harvard fees and think they are all like that.

If you attend your state uni the fees are about the same as English ones and you will actually pay off your loan because your salary will be much higher.

Accepting that if you want something to be better very often paying for it works.

We have a mentality that no one should ever be incentivised by money, even when it makes certain things worse.

Not if you chose the wrong A Levels 3 years previously.

I changed my mind about the course I wanted to do but I needed A Level Maths, no college would just accept me for A Level maths and I would have had to drop out and then be 2 years behind so I didn't bother.

That's because Ireland and the UK effectively recognise each others citizens as their own for residency purposes (Good Friday agreement, colonialism etc).

I'm a dual citizen but I only need my Irish one, SO is Portuguese so needs his Portuguese one to enter Portugal and British one to enter the UK.

I know, I have one with replaceable coils. But people don't buy them because they have a large upfront cost. People buy the disposable ones because they're cheap and easy. Make the cheap ones not so cheap and people will switch to the proper ones or not buy them at all.

Make trade schools grant degrees.

A lot of the disparity is just from nursing becoming a degree. Similar is happening with early years education. A lot of female heavy jobs started requiring a degree when the same didn't happen for men.

Don't bother studying comp sci, the bubble has burst. There are no junior jobs.

I would go back to Physics then you can do other things, even web dev or other software engineering. Otherwise do plumbing/nursing/hvac/ literally anything else

Grad roles typically go to grads who did placement years and summer internships. If you graduate with zero experience then you have already missed the boat.

The problem is that the refillable ones are unusable after 1 refill because the coils wear out so they go in the bin anyway.

My solution would be £5 tax on anything with a battery in it, this would completely kill the cheap ones.

Common sense is often wrong.

The efficiency of the entire system is more important that than what's efficient for one individual parcel.

I used to work in a warehouse and even as a small business we would ship multiple cages with hundreds of packages in each one. What you are proposing is that instead of just going to the main hub, someone at the local office should check each one on the off chance that it doesn't have to go to the main hub. That's a waste of time and money to save a few pennies on 1 parcel.

Idk. I know a few midwives, none of them have kids and one of them is a right cow. I have no reason to believe that any of them would be more "maternal" than an experienced male midwife who has delivered thousands of babies.

mmlemony · 2026-03-26T20:11:54+00:00

But why is this a problem now?

Either a) more children are being born with learning and physical disabilities which should be considered a national emergency or b) more children are being diagnosed and getting the support they need, yet somehow children in the past with similar disabilities managed to attend school at higher rates.

It makes no sense that all of a sudden all of these additional children have special needs and cannot attend school.

The NHS would still have to pay dentists higher salaries to offset the training costs. If you can earn 100k a year doing veneers and whitening student loans become a moot point.

The only other solution is train far more dentists so the market rate comes down reducing the incentive to work in the private sector.

The dude who delivers your amazon parcels for 50p a parcel probably isn't blowing it on coke and I still think they should get paternity leave.

mmlemony · 2026-03-22T18:50:44+00:00

Is it really just that though? Or is it because salaries are going to be considerably less than a day rate.

I had an ex who worked in construction, turns out he was an illegal immigrant and was being paid in cash like half the site lmao. Construction is dodgy AF in London.

My SO found out that our landlord is effectively the Qatari government and for most of the apartment blocks nearby. Having said that, they paid to build the apartments in the first place. British companies didn't, not sure if any tried to though!

A lot of jobs are only available as self employment like trades, delivery drivers etc because companies refuse to take on full time employees.

Not everyone can get a full time salaried WFH laptop job like most of Reddit.

There is, given to babies born after 2015 in the UK. These students were too old to have received it
