Exactly, you cannot be a good spouse and not take your partner’s opinion seriously just because “pffft women/men”
- Comment on Anon has marital problems 15 hours ago:
Women and men do have a different way of thinking the majority of the time. It’s about learning to cope with and deal with the other one’s feeling. If you want a woman, you have to be willing to deal with woman moments. If you want a man, you have to be willing to deal with man moments. Simple. Relationships cannot be perfect.

No, it should be buried

Smokers are actively detrimental to their health, though, while families benefit society
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
In a way, yes. Good healthy families are a core of a functioning society. However some examples you gave:
Why do you need a doctor’s appointment in the middle of the day?
Unless you’re in a society where doctors are available in the evening, this is a silly question
Why do you need to go pick up a prescription at lunch time
Again, depends on the pharmacist’s opening hours
like why can’t you work through lunch?
This is just stupid completely
They need the job a lot more. They have a little girl!
This makes sense, as again, someone with a child needs to provide for a family
Clearly they need it more than the the person who has a disabled spouse, because kids are way more important than an adult dependent!
This is stupid and a disabled spouse or any dependent should also be taken into consideration
We can’t fire this person, they have kids! Let’s choose someone who doesn’t have a family.
This makes sense. Some people need more money than others. That’s a basic fact. You or I would find more value in £1000 than a billionaire would.
Society flourishes when there are more middle class families flourishing. It is natural order that we should make society an easier environment to have a family in, rather than harder. Lest you end up like Japan or China with a declining population

Advertising looks better than the pizza. But jokes aside, this is the type of rubbish that would hit the spot on a break at work after working on a cold winter’s day

I know people who just take an extra day off on the weekend closest to their birthday. People do different stuff.

Tbf it looks nicer than anything I would bring to work for lunch. I just bring in pasta from the night before and give it a ding 🤣
- Comment on Happy birthday, peon 5 days ago:
This is Tesco. I heavily doubt they do that. The pizza is probably just something a colleague came up with than an actual policy thing.
- Comment on Happy birthday, peon 5 days ago:
I mean, I wouldn’t expect a supermarket break room to be immaculately kept. It actually looks alright. Depends on how good of a place it is to work, etc. My guess is that most employees usually book their birthday off, this guy didn’t (some people just don’t bother, which is understandable) and some colleague was like “we had to do something”, so got a pizza from what they were allowed. I think there are pictures far more depressing than this (like Amazon’s Christmas dinner which was probably an actual big organised thing for a mass amount of people).
I know someone who works in a supermarket and colleagues usually give them a nice cake, but it’s passed its sell-by by a few days. It sounds depressing, but the cake is perfectly fine and would just be thrown out due to policy.

- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
The problem in Ireland is when big American moguls go and buy up properties in Dublin to rent out en masse, effectively just sucking money out of the country. We always need people to lend out property on rent free cheaper than a mortgage. Landlords are vital for those who cannot afford a mortgage. But these landlords are the smaller ones - like your aunt.

Generally everything is closed from and during Good Friday to Easter Monday. There probably are special services going on at famous Cathedrals though for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday (in some places, Holy Saturday has some form of vigil going on also)
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 2 weeks ago:
I believe the recruiters can’t even see that in most circumstances. In Northern Ireland they have to ask you if you’re a Catholic or a Protestant. If you answer “prefer not to say”, they look at your background and decide for you, lol.

So the problem with suicide isn’t people taking their own life, but the mess they leave behind? How heartless is this attitude?
