Careful. I bite. Rampantly homosexual. Massively depressed. Don’t take what I say too seriously, I’m probably having a wind up.

  • It depends on the website hosting location. TOS, users location and relevant international copyright treaties.

    It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

    As a UK citizen I can’t claim my (US) first amendment right to call you a “cunt”.

    It’s against the website TOS and I’m not American.

    Putting a license at the bottom clears any ambiguity.

    Funnily enough you’re only highlighting your own “Zoomer” naivety of law by making your “Boomer” comment.



  • In the UK a lot of people stubbornly believe the unemployed live lives of luxury*. Not helped by reality TV shows just a decade ago like Benefits Street which showed people on social security living it large.

    In reality the vast majority of people want to work.

    E.g. 3 years ago I lost 2 jobs in 6 months during their respective probation periods. I’d been employed all my life and helped launch 2 successful companies in my 20s. But suddenly in 6 months my entire world view collapsed after losing two jobs.

    Since then I’ve attempted suicide 4 times. Had 3 psychotic episodes. Self harmed and been convicted of a crime I don’t even remember committing.

    My probation officer has known me 3 months and is already pressuring me to start work.

    Have I had help for my mental health? Have I fuck. Well, except being stuck on antidepressants that don’t work. My psychosis has stopped but could start again when I’m under stress (paranoia & hearing voices).

    But wait. What caused such a significant spiral? Losing my fucking job - twice!

    But I’m being pushed by society and a probation officer to restart work with no mental health support or treatment. I’m being pressured into something that runs the risk of me losing the job and once again spiralling into substance abuse and suicide.

    That isn’t fair on the company I may eventually end up at or…and I feel guilty for saying it…me.

    I feel guilty every fucking day for being on ‘benefits’. I’ve been almost a complete shut in with no friends or family. I’m utterly fucked.

    I want to work. I’d actually love to work in an office cos I wanna be around people again even though my options enable WFH. But it runs the risk of killing me via another psychotic break and no one is helping me except a 3 month waiting list for therapy.
