    Functional government with a solid social safety net.
    A country which doesn’t have a culture of greed and psychopathy.

    I already know what I’m getting because it was all disclosed via Amazon wishlist and (although I did have the “no spoilers” option or whatever is called enabled) my brother just blabbed it was empty.

    I didn’t have much on it tbf. But I guess I know what I’m getting. Except I’ve forgotten some of it by now, so it’s kind of a surprise.

      Well he’ll never face criminal justice cuz he’ll either pardon himself or have his final Big Mac Attack - and then he’s replaced by Vance. My wish is for him to golf and tweet his way through another 4 years and hopefully the Dems get their shit more together.

    I want my council tax bill paid. They didn’t take it for two years straight due to an administrative error - I even had a direct debit setup - but have only just now realised on their side and now they want all of it back at once. Paid off a big lump of it immediately but had to go on a payment plan where they take an extra £400 per month for the next quarter.

      I HATE how errors like this favor the company. THEY fucked up, but can just dump it all on you.

      yes they can argue that you shouldn’t have spent the money and should have noticed, but if it were reversed, they’d fight to not pay you and delay it most likely. people that don’t understand “shit happens” suck.

      man, similar boat. sometimes she can’t even stand straight without teetering, and I’m tired of fighting over it. if anything, this will be the cause to our end.

      I know how people here feel about reddit, but https://old.reddit.com/r/Alanon can help you get away or communicate better possibly.

      Oooft hope my wife wouldn’t write something like this about me. No actual drama but my routine of being a middle-class wine drinker sinking glasses in front of the tv in the evening could be considered problematic.

        as long as you handle all your responsibilities, it is what it is. when I can’t communicate with my partner or have to keep asking her to handle responsibilities or have the exact same conversation every day because she can’t remember? that’s a big problem. if I can’t trust my partner, then why are we together.

    A reversal of the cuts my health insurance is making and further to have all of my healthcare paid for by the insurance I pay a ton of money to have. Especially hurts since the insurance company is my employer, or at least I used to. Now they have the same parent company or whatever they call it these days.
