Is this where we are heading?

Is this where we are heading?

There was a post on this subreddit where a woman said she was seeing a potential marriage prospect, and one of his conditions was that he didn’t want his wife to have male friends.

Someone commented that it was a weird demand. I simply replied:

“Would you let your wife have male friends?”

That was literally all I said.

After that, people started telling me that I’m the type of person who sexualizes women, treats them as sex objects, stares at women, and that people like me become incels.

Is this really where we’re heading as a society?

It also feels like following Islamic teachings is increasingly looked down upon, while being openly anti-religion is considered normal or even cool.

Got a £100 parking charge fine

Got a £100 private parking charge from bristol airport, England and not sure what to do.

Incident date: 23/03/2026 (08:50)
Notice issued: 30/03/2026
Appeal deadline: 27/04/2026
But I only received the letter on 03/05/2026.

So by the time I even saw it, the appeal window was already gone.

This happened during my induction for a new job I got after 9 months of searching. The instructions in the joining email were unclear about where to go/stop, and I ended up stopping briefly and got fined. I was already stressed, trying to figure things out, looking around, and honestly worried I might mess up and lose the job.

Now when I try to appeal, the portal says I can’t appeal anymore and I have to pay the full £100.

Feels like I never even got a fair chance to challenge it. What should I do in this situation? Where to mail? Worth fighting or just pay it?

▲ 2 r/Evri

I have GoSkippy comprehensive insurance and want to do Evri deliveries part time. I have heard Evri provides top-up insurance for delivery, but how do I actually get it?

Everyone is saying I must inform my insurer and they might not be happy with it. What happens if I do not inform them?

I tried getting hire and reward insurance, but no company is giving it to me, maybe because I cancelled a few insurance policies myself before. What should I do?

I work in a pretty toxic workplace right now. Constant gossip, negativity, people talking behind each other’s backs all day. I am already changing careers and starting a completely different profession later this year (Sep). I have the offer for the course. But until then I am stuck here

The issue is I need a few days off in July for an open day + basic maths/English assessments for the new field. It is literally on the opposite side of the country, so I need at least 3 days. I applied for leave 2.5 months in advance (14–20 July) and they rejected all of it except one day.

Now I genuinely do not know what to tell them. I obviously cannot say “I am leaving for another profession soon.” Sick leave feels risky too. Has anyone been in this situation before? What reason would you realistically give?
