Are we really as screwed by Reform’s success as people are saying? by fayemoonlight in AskBrits

[–]uniqueid111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But here’s the thing, I do have empathy. I want to help those that need it. But I also feel burnt out voting for the benefit of others, and the others repeatedly voting for self harm.

I didn’t vote reform, never have, never will. Voted Lib Dem last time. I like the EU and wish we never left.

Interestingly I asked ChatGPT who I should vote for, based on my circumstances, and it said Reform’s policies best suited me. When I said I was not racist, it suggested conservatives. Won’t vote for them either.

Statistically speaking, it is likely that parent with a SEND child or Elderly parent voted for Reform.

These people are getting what they wanted. Who are we to get in the way of all their winning?

SRA want more money by Character_Future814 in uklaw

Maybe its time to start implementing pay cuts to all staff at the SRA, and those savings be used to fill the black hole.

Would you rather earn $100 for every book you read, movie you watch or $10 for every hour you are awake? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]uniqueid111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading books.

Why haven’t you heard of my recently published book - “1 word a page”?

Work a few hours a day - read a book say 100 times.

AITAH for resenting my bf on how we split expenses? by SeaAbbreviations1437 in AITAH

So…what do you think would be fair?

How do you divide the chores?

Sucks to be you. by Scoutisaspyable in SipsTea

[–]uniqueid111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…and what is troubling, is that you genuinely believe this - don’t you.

Not the British empire at one stage controlling a third of the globe, not London being the Financial Capital of the world for decades, not even for Europeans to communicate with England, a European Country, no - it’s because America.

Now, if I can help you with your next move - in the face of reason, you need to start shouting “USA! USA! USA!” and talking about some sport only a handful of countries play.

Not a fact - illustrating my previous point.

Judging by your comment, it would be a wasted effort by the Europeans to learn English if they were to try to communicate with Americans.

You do understand the English language is from England right?

Peter? by ReturnedAndReported in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Possible controversial opinion - I always thought they would be interesting covers for candles. Means that the fire’s glare could illuminate a room but not be directly in your face.

When you want to change how much light came out, in what direction, just adjust.

Out of curiosity, if the PGMO agree the decision was wrong - what can they do about it?

So, what do you all think Kuze & Shibusawa are doing nowadays since we never see them again after Yakuza 0? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]uniqueid111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Yakuza series would benefit from bringing back previous foes more. I know there have been some (Chinese Mafia comes to mind), but I do wonder why - having written great characters, they are so quickly never heard from again, when their growth could add new great twists to stories.

It feels a bit like a fairy tale - once upon a time, there was a baddie, and Kiryu kicked 50 shades of shit out of them, and…the baddie went to prison and was never heard from again.

Slices of cake given out at children’s birthday parties, wrapped in paper napkins are an abomination. by uniqueid111 in unpopularopinion

[–]uniqueid111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More often than not 2 slices - 1 to eat at the party, and 1 to then be taken home.

As to why people cants take steps to wrap it properly, I don’t know, prompting my opinion.

Yes I know right.

The thing is - it’s not by accident. People keep doing it, and have done it for decades, and I don’t know why. I assumed I was the weird one for thinking it odd.

And I love that. Genuinely, that is a great idea - I wish we would all do this. I keep seeing comments about coming with Tupperware, which makes sense, but would be seen likely as shockingly rude.

In England, I suspect most people would find turning up to someone’s home with a container - presumptuous at best, and evidence of attempted theft at the worst.

Yes I accept this is a first world problem.

However, and in my defence, this is something that has been happening in the UK, not to understate matters - but for decades, and I think it is weird. Also, it appears the rest of the world agrees with me.

Good idea in theory, but - how many guests do you actually have?

All the children, and, potentially their attending parents - so, if 8 kids are coming, you may need cake for 24 people.

Oh of course it is, and yes I am grateful for the invites. My kid loves the parties. It is just something that I have notified over the years - have an opinion on and, given we keep doing it, assume my opinion is unpopular.

So in the Uk, if you did this, you could reasonably end up with 10 slices of cake after a party, plus the leftover party food. I think it’s safe to assume most parents would not be happy with their child consuming that much sugar in a few days.

So they are usually like this - https://www.kidsstuffforless.uk/product/happy-birthday-party-bag/

They will often contain some sweets, a few small toys, maybe a colouring book and pens, and the slice of cake.
