TravelRe: 20 Surprising Differences Between The UK And The USA by Abid2020(op): 9:23pm On Dec 25, 2023
enambobo:
I prefer the US. They pay way better than the UK with less taxation. UK uses tax in growing her economy. More reason why tax rate is pretty high compared to the US.
Plus majority of the US companies pay based on hourly rates. Meaning you're paid based on your time worked. If you put in the extra effort and work 16 hours, you're paid based on that unlike the UK where the rate most times is fixed per month. Not many UK companies pay hourly.
Yes US pay way better money but dey pray make una no sick for Us cos that go exhaust all the money una dey think say it is plenty

RomanceRe: Difference Between Loving Someone And Actually Being In Love. by Abid2020(m): 9:37pm On May 04, 2023
Yes, there is a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone.

Loving someone is a feeling of affection, care, and concern for someone. It can be based on shared experiences, values, and mutual respect. Loving someone can come in many forms, including familial love, platonic love, and romantic love.

Being in love with someone, on the other hand, is an intense and passionate feeling that often includes romantic attraction and a desire for intimacy and commitment. Being in love typically involves a heightened emotional and physical connection with the other person.

While both loving someone and being in love with someone can involve strong emotions and a deep connection with the other person, the key difference is the intensity and nature of those emotions. Loving someone can be a more stable and long-lasting feeling, while being in love can be more intense and fleeting.
