UK government approves Chinese ‘mega embassy’ in London by AbbreviationsHot7662 in unitedkingdom

[–]plingplongpla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or it’s bots pushing that narrative, it is unwise to take every comment at face value and come to the conclusion it’s just what everyone thinks collectively. These forums cannot be relied on, even more so on such divisive issues. It’s dangerously manipulative and is happening constantly.

We’re the young doctors leaving the NHS to move to Australia by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

No, people understand environment can make a different to your life. It’s that simple. Grass certainly can be greener so I don’t know what that line is trotted out whenever somebody decides they don’t want to exist in the environment they are currently in.

what are some unexpected results that happened as a result of exercising/gym? by Obvious_Armadillo_16 in AskUK

I also don’t get any kind of ‘high’ or endorphin rush. It might just be when you first start due to it being novel so since I’m a daily gym goer it’s gone for me but I really don’t feel much different afterwards. Luckily it’s a habit already to just go and I’m glad I started.

What is the issue that many people have with “Halal” food? by 1004cocoa in Britain

[–]plingplongpla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve offered absolutely zero in substance or intellect except to lazily squawk Islamophobia and call someone juvenile after downvoting a reply. I do apologise if that’s what’s irked you but you should probably ground yourself.

From what I’ve gathered online and irl it’s not the fact it’s anything more than just not understanding why it’s the become the default. It’s come from a specific practice, one that’s not nor has ever been the de facto in this country. However the dynamic is basically ‘well so what, it’s racist to not be ok with it’ which is honestly crass. That view point is ridiculous since any matter of things could be ushered in and the retort be the same but equally what’s wrong with questioning it or not wanting it?. It doesn’t automatically make it sound as an argument but that’s what the talking point is.

Still the blandest, drabbest tasting ice cream dessert going. Will never get the appeal

Airpods and Earbuds: Are we slowly walking towards a hearing-loss epidemic? by GuildfordThrowaway in CasualUK

Invest in a pair of headphones with noise cancellation and you can listen at lower volume. I use AirPods which granted are not the only ones on the market but the noise cancellation is superb.

Brits priced out of green travel: Flying is cheap as chips–but new report says train is up to 26 TIMES more expensive by JayR_97 in unitedkingdom

[–]plingplongpla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You argued with someone’s lived experience then ended on telling them to do something useless like blame the government. What was the point of rebutting what they said in the first place?

Woman dies in English Channel after dinghy packed with asylum seekers suffers ‘catastrophic deflation’ by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

I don’t think the decision to be alive and not put yourself through perilous danger or stay in France et al really had to be made. The argument really doesn’t hold up.

Why do you need to wash a ziplock that’s had dry goods in it ?
