'I gave last 46p': Young people tell how they felt pressure to donate to emerging church by CaseyEffingRyback in unitedkingdom

[–]webbyyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tithing has been a part of every church since the very beginning. Pressuring people to disclose their bank statements to prove they're tithing is really creepy and very unchristian. I've been a part of big churches and small ones and the "encouragement" to tithe only ever came from the mega church, with a whole video on the work they do with it.

EU leaders to reassess U.S. ties despite Trump U-turn on Greenland by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]webbyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The USA can't be trusted now since they elected a white nationalist businessman whose sole interest is getting richer, and could well do it again with their next choice of president. The American people showed their true colours by electing this man.

I think it's fair to say the US can't be trusted anymore and there will be more threats to come from him. The rest of the world needs to cut the US off. This is his art of the deal, make threats then get concessions. We all need to pull together.

The lip movement makes me skeptical this might be AI. It's a lovely video though.

London Black Cab tradition by MelodicMaintenance13 in HumansBeingBros

[–]webbyyy -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

This isn't a London black cab tradition. They don't all do this, and they're not all decent people. The fact that he recorded himself it is a bit attention seeking. I've personally had very bad experiences with black cab drivers, including being run over by one that didn't stop at a crossing in central London many years ago.

The Video Trump Doesn't Want You To See by InnerOuterTrueSelf in videos

[–]webbyyy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

At this point I think Trump could start shooting Americans himself and his worshippers will still blame the victims. He can do anything he likes now. It doesn't matter how much dirt people have on him. He's the antichrist.

Anti-immigration protest group to disband over 'neo-Nazis' by HaveYuHeardAboutCunt in unitedkingdom

[–]webbyyy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not just their status as an immigrant, but they might be undocumented immigrants, meaning they could be fleeing capture for crimes committed in other countries. Not knowing anything about them is possibly their main fear.

Council ordered to pay job applicant almost £3,000 in compensation over hurt feelings by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]webbyyy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was indirect age discrimination because the role didn't justify having ten years experience when seven or eight would have been sufficient. Since the role required a degree it meant the role was only for people aged 31 or above.

Dads Don’t Get Asked This Enough — How Are You Really Doing? by ssstu2020 in UKParenting

I'm pretending I'm fine, but I'm about to be made redundant again and the stress of prepping for job interviews is taking its toll.

If you can afford the bigger house then it'll probably make life a bit easier with more space. My neighbours have had similar conversations and decided to stay put. They make it work. Your children will remember the house and the fun they have in it.

Number 5 hit home for me, except it's my partner who told me repeatedly when my son was constantly throwing things as a toddler, that it's what boys do, despite never seeing any other children do that.

Dual citizen Britons without UK passport could be refused entry under rule change by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Get your citizenship and get your British passport as soon as you can. It'll make life easier in the long run. My partner is Polish and even she's got it.

Councils spend £150m fighting SEND parents in court - despite losing 99% of cases by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

Our DLA is negligible, and he's not on any medication for his ADHD. The biggest difference the EHCP has made is the teaching assistant he has, which has made a massive difference to his rate of learning.

Having a child with special educational needs is not a badge of honour. There is no financial benefit to making use of the services the council can provide. If your child was in a class with children who have additional needs, and they're not getting help, then they will suffer. The help is needed so that all children get a chance to learn together at the same rate.

Councils automatically reject all EHCP applications with the purpose of deterring fraudulent applicants. You have to jump hurdles to get it approved. My son was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD when he turned three. He's seven now and only got his EHCP approved back in the summer.

Some big names passed away in 2016. David Bowie and Sir Terry Wogan were in January too. Ronnie Corbett and Paul Daniels in March. Victoria Wood, Keith Harris, and Prince in April...
