Well of course she doesn’t have one, she dropped out

That’s such an unpleasant euphemism. Better than gash (and leagues more polite), but not much.
She never took a dick, they all stayed attached. Rather, she engaged in coitus.
See how silly that sounds?
In Germany you can eventually get in trouble for not paying it, but afaik that’s not the case in the UK.
There’s banjo though
The BBC is weirdly aggressive about trying to get people to pay for their TV usage, but they’re also pretty impotent. They’ll try to come into your house to see if you have a TV set, at which point you’re probably obligated to pay for the license. You don’t have to let them in, though, so all they can really do is pester you
Yes. Minus the tittle, but that’s reasonable imo
My lease ran out and I was unable to get a new place for me and my then partner (who was otherwise completely unable to support themselves, very long story) to stay while I was the only employee working under the table and basically running a hookah bar. We stayed in a hotel for three or four weeks, but that was running me about €1800/month, and I couldn’t keep up for long. My boss offered us the couches in the hookah bar, which was an absolute godsend. I only stayed there for a couple of months, but but it kept me from sleeping rough.
Later I realized that if I hadn’t been working under the table (which was my boss’s choice, I had legal work allowance), I would have been entitled to much more… traditional aid (and the air quality in my residence would definitely have been at least closer to safe levels), so I’m a little more conflicted. He definitely stepped in when he didn’t have to, but in return he got to keep his only employee and there was no investigation of my finances that would have been necessary for government services and would probably have ended up with him paying some hefty fines. I’m very much still grateful, just a little jaded.
I don’t know this guy, so this is just based off what you wrote and might be wholly unfounded. To be clear, I also don’t think you should set yourself on fire to keep anyone else warm.
I got a little hyper focused while writing this, so tl;dr: I get why he would lash out in that circumstance, which is why we need a social welfare system.
Having a bad reaction to cheese when you don’t have a safe, dependable, and clean bathroom sounds awful. Even if he doesn’t currently have lactose intolerance, he could easily develop it at any time if his dairy intake becomes inconsistent. Or maybe he just hates cheese (or tb cheese). I was a waiter for years and about 20% of people who likely aren’t homeless and who have plenty of options for food are rude when they get food with an ingredient they don’t like. If his ability to feed himself outside of those tacos was small, it could absolutely wear on him to constantly get a strong taste or weird texture he hates.
I also totally understand him getting annoyed and shitty about people skateboarding late where he sleeps. He’ll probably wake with the dawn, so if people are skating at 11pm throughout the summer, that’s going to cause awful sleep (compounding all the other factors that cause people to get worse sleep outside in public). Sure, it’s not his house, but just because he doesn’t have a legal place to live, doesn’t mean that he no longer has the need for quiet and safety. I’m not excusing actively chasing people away from a public area, but I do understand what might have led him to do it.
My sympathy with the rides bit depends on what his access to other transportation is/how far spread out needed services are. If there’s lots of free or very cheap options for getting places or there’s a grocery store, place to get mail, laundromat, bathroom services, and a place for him to register and receive support within walking/skating distance, then yeah, it’s a dick move. If not, he was still being rude, but I can empathize. I empathize when customers at my bakery are rude because they don’t understand the bathroom code, and that’s probably much less of an emergency situation for them.
People are generally rude when they have an unmet need and those around them could easily help with that need. It’s not productive or prosocial, but it’s pretty predictable. Most of the time, it’s directed towards service workers or really close relationships (my dad’s a bear before breakfast, which most of his acquaintances or more casual friends probably don’t know, for example). It only really gets directed at those in our larger acquaintance circles when something catastrophic happens in our lives, like the onset of a terminal/chronic illness, becoming disabled, the loss of a loved one, or losing a home or financial security.
I’m not at all saying that people should subject themselves to abuse because someone else is in an emergency. In fact, I think that tendency is one of the main reasons we should create stable welfare and medical systems(second to the moral imperative I believe we as a social species have to do what we can for others). That way, we don’t have to come to the point of aggression caused by desperation.
That’s only because we don’t teach little girls how to from age two. Women can learn, it’s not especially difficult, just a completely different type of aim.
For anyone wondering: make a peace sign with your dominant hand and position it so that your two extended fingers get a good grip on your labia, with the tips about 1-3 cm from your urethra. Pull everything slightly forward, and begin peeing with great pressure. When you can’t sustain the pressure, cut the stream off (this was actually way harder for me to learn than the aiming).
Start in the shower to practice pressure control while aiming at the drain. When you’re confident, do it in the shower before turning the water on, to confirm your aim is true and you’re not losing stray drops. When that’s the case, congratulations! You can pee standing up.
It’s truly wonderful, as long as 0C isn’t painful for you.
I’m much better adapted to the cold, so it’s in no way painful (unless I were to pass out in it or try to build a snowman without gloves or something). For me, even German summers are so unpleasantly warm that I can’t eat enough calories without being fully nocturnal. People tend to have a temperature and humidity range that works well for them, and they only adapt to new environments slowly
Yeah, it’s a generally unpleasant accusation that doesn’t really apply here, like calling a random infantryman a hitman, because they were paid to shoot people.
Except, even in light of current events, most people still consider shooting people to be worse than having sex with them.
