Yeah thanks, I do think approaching splitting a bill my way does make me a better friend!

Seems like a really dumb principle. I don't mind paying a pound more than a friend.

Yes. Which is why I said "I get if if the difference is big". Did you not see that?

In this case, it isn't a big difference. So your example doesn't remotely apply.

I agree with not worrying over a pound or two, but I think taking the entire bill is a meh system. Some people simply are more prone to doing that and it fucks them over in the long run.

It's one or two pounds, why care so much?

I get it if the difference is big but Christ otherwise /2 is perfectly fine.

Well one: now you don't have to get it out

Two: Jesus Christ dividing by two is so easy why even get a calculator out

No idea why someone downvoted you. Given the incredible amount of native Spanish speakers it would make sense. And make travel in Central and South America better. Plus the benefits of simply being bilingual.

Given that e.g. English classes start really young in some non-English speaking countries I would not call this useless.

And the numbers arenstill very low even when you include the fact that there's children included who are in younger classes than grade 7 who only learn one language.

Yeah how dare people have fun dancing or some shit!

It's incredible how much of a rough deal factory line work is. I'm a white collar workers and a lot of blue collar work I can imagine doing. A lot of it might be way harder on my body and there's other downsides, but yeah it's an option.

But working a job where you do the same thing every four seconds? Christ..

Maybe they mean in the arm rests? That's not required but planes used to have them.

Might be because you're not flying intercontinentally / very long distances?

Haven't they just being giving away free airphones for years?

You're right! Brb writing an article about the satisfying shit I just took

My feelings are hurt because I pointed out that some shitty article is barely news? Boy that's a bad read

Yeah, it's technically news. I bloody well said that in my comment.

Like I said: technically.

But it's not a bit of a different category than the examples I mentioned eh?

Nope, but I don't have to make posts myself on a sub to be allowed to be judgemental of the content.

What a dumbass response to give on a fucking forum.

In this case it's not about the word, but that OP incorrectly used renting in the title while agreeing that it's borrowing.

Ah, well I tend to avoid those news organisations so I'm more used to actual news.

I personally would appreciate it more if it's actual news. Discoveries, positive societal change, good new legislature, etc.

Some 92 year old being reunited with her cat isn't much of a news items. Heck, perhaps we can technically classify it as such, but I hope you get what I mean.

This sub really is just 90% feel good stories that you can barely call news eh?

You bike from your home to the station mate.

I'd say it differs. First of all: you don't have to bike. We stil have cars. We have buses. We have trams. Etc. Thinking that you are left out of society if you don't bike is a very odd notion. Biking is simply nice and convenient.

In terms of accessibility the Netherlands is not as good as for example the USA is in some matters - their disability act is really great. Having said that: one benefit in Amsterdam is that it's a compact, walkable, bike-friendly city. And I reckon that often lends itself well to being disabled. You don't have to worry about driving somewhere, you can just walk (or roll) to the supermarket. But no personal experience!

For parents it differs what they do! Often they'll still have a car for some stuff (cars in general are common, just less necessary). But you can also put your kid on your bike with you, there are special bike seats for kids that you can put on your bike, very akin to a car seat. And bakfietsen (bin bikes) are very popular for parents with young children. You just put the kids in the bin. Kids also learn to bike from a young age.
