Worked several jobs, including in a nursing home. Got thyroid cancer and the treatment caused me to have a stroke and many other health issues. Thanks to the stroke I’m now partially sighted, can’t walk properly and can no longer work. Also have chronic foot infections and migraines. NHS treatment is so awful it has made my health worse rather than better. My local pharmacist tells me I’m a drain on the NHS because my medications cost so much. Got awarded disability benefits until 2028, but still waiting for the backpay and payments to start. Absolutely penniless and in debt.


As a living being your purpose should be reach immortality with full capabilities (end/reverse aging).
That sounds awful. I would choose the total opposite, death and non existence as soon as possible.


I actually once did answer back to a group of teenage boys, and got beaten around the head with a lead pipe, so no, I won’t confront anyone again.


Thank you.


Thank you.


I got mistaken for a man a couple of days ago, not the first time it’s happened. Really humiliating, in fact it’s humiliating going out just knowing I look like absolute crap but what’s the alternative? Being shut in all day destroys the mind.


I sleep with earplugs, I recommend it.


This is the one good thing about not having a social life any more. Buying gifts when you can barely feed yourself is a real struggle and many people aren’t understanding about it at all. Maybe do something for them instead, like if you have a little money maybe buy the ingredients and make them a nice meal. If you have no money at all, just make and write them a card explaining how much you care about them and how you’d like to buy them something but just can’t right now?


My landlady’s dog loves used sanitary towels and pantliners. Have to put them in bins he can’t get to.


Yes, I do mean an obscene amount of money. Half million nowadays would jut about buy a nice house and some left over to live off.


If they get really rich by luck and keep it all though, I still think they’re bad. If I won the lottery or something I would just keep enough to guarantee a decent roof over my head and all bills paid for life, and give the rest away.


I really do recommend watching it. Actually this and “Everything everywhere all at once” were both on amazon for free, and I thought I would love EE, and I thought PHM would be a bit “meh,” but actually I hated EE so much I couldn’t even finish it (it seemed to be just non stop fight scenes which I find extremely boring) and I loved PHM so much I can’t stop thinking about it.


I really want to read it but I feel like I just don’t have the concentration or cognitive ability to read a book any more.


I think humans have always been like this. Thousands of years ago the upper class Romans, etc were famous for their excess. It’s just this is the first time in history that the masses can also overconsume, combined with the fact that we now have non perishable items like plastic polluting the planet, that makes it all so much worse.


He probably thinks they should write a long, grovelling essay.


Yes! This is exactly what I am smelling too. So it is real.


Well, some of us are at the mercy of the devils.


I tried learning Swedish years ago and found Rosetta Stone and the Michel Thomas method CDs really good, but you have to buy those.


Sometimes the treatment can be worse than the disease.



What does it smell like to you?
Personal independence payment, a disability benefit. Non means tested, so rich people can claim it too. So basically this red faced bloke wants poor people who actually need it prevented from getting it, while he who probably has an income and doesn’t really need it, still wants to get it.
