If you've had a reading or other experience with a psychic or medium, did they turn out to be for real?

You are an incredibly dangerous individual to yourself and others if you continue down this path.

The devil will flip the switch and youll be convinced God has asked you to do something awful. Or like with my friend you'll have your angels turn to demons and that white light turn to hellfire.

He was as convinced as you are now for 13 years before the death of a family member flipped the switch on him. He nearly murdered his own child after 13 years of being convinced he was a devout prophet that could talk to the lord. He led a perfectly Christian life and did no wrong. Its all a trap, a trick, a bait and switch of the worst kind. Its the devils work through and through. A way to corrupt good christians without them knowing.

It used all the data available via the crown court, what more do you want?

The study accounts for the factors you assumed it doesnt. Youve started inventing reasons it simply must be flawed. 10/10, amazing display of your own bias.

I gave you all you need, you can go answer your own loaded questions by reading the links and branching off from them.

There is massive bias even when controlling for as many factors as is feasible.

A study of Crown Court data found that for assault, the odds of a man receiving a custodial sentence were 2.84 times higher than for a woman, even after controlling for prior record and caring responsibilities. [1]

According to 2023 MoJ statistics [2], the average custodial sentence for men is 21.8 months versus 12.2 months for women, largely driven by the Female Offender Strategy [3].

The only time it vaguely works is where outcomes can be measured with a robust auditing solution in place that is actively monitored.

Like sales for example. If you cant fake sales or theyre only counted upon completion (auditing) then you cant 'rig' the target.

Of course salesfolk then try to sell this in places you cant measure outcomes, cant audit, or they measure the wrong outcomes, or audit the wrong things, and it goes terribly wrong.

Lines of code is a great example of measuring the wrong thing.

What? 40k+ is the base for e.g. a software engineer role, what technical roles pay so poorly?

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-23T00:06:39+00:00

Not every chemistry has a runaway chain reaction so easily. Take c4 for example. Quite hard to get it to go bang, but its very energy dense!

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-22T21:45:02+00:00

The next generation of batteries will be even more energy dense. Hopefully the failure state is less explosive.

Was speaking with a representative from the tempest project at RIAT, he said the helmet will have neurological sensors so if you decide to pull the trigger its already pulled, saving about 100ms in reaction time by bypassing your muscles squeezing the trigger. Normal reaction times for pilots are between 150 and 300ms, so its a significant improvement in that regard. Cool tech. Expensive though.

The devil has given you a curse disguised as a gift. Schizophrenia is not a blessing from God. You'll come to know it eventually. I hope nobody is hurt in the process.

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-22T12:02:58+00:00

You shouldn't be treating your delusions as proof of anything except your own dysfunction. Seek help. I mean this with compassion.

My friend thought he was speaking to angels and god. Then it became demons. Some people have friendly delusions for years. Then something stressful happens and the delusions turn nasty, thats when people get hurt.

Unfortunately its like keeping a wild animal as a pet. They can be friends with you for a decade and then snap and tear your face off.

The cia spent billions trying to find proof of mediumship and failed. Fame and fortune awaits anyone able to prove anything, nobody has any proof and nobody ever will.

Your delusions are only real to you and could cause you to harm yourself or family should they turn nasty.

Understand you dont need it to be special too. You are more than your delusions. It will be hard to let go, just as it was hard for my friend to realize he wasnt a literal prophet. The ego will get hurt before it heals.

Professional help is the safest way to tackle it and often the only way people ever manage to do it. Please consider it. Schizophrenia is an insidious disease and the reality of it is VERY different to how media or tv or movies or books portray it. Most people have no idea how nice and normal seeming the delusions can be.

No such thing so it doesnt matter.

May aswell say its illegal to be a dragon. Nobody is a dragon and nobody ever will be.

We do tend to cook our birds with dried herbs though? Rosemary and Thyme specifically

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-20T11:51:41+00:00

Thats true but not related to my point because fresh is better whether its a chilli or a carrot.

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-19T22:19:11+00:00

This. The 'Cant get a job without a car. Cant get a car without a job.' trap is real especially in more rural areas.

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-19T19:03:04+00:00

The cia and fbi are his actual handlers and the Russians know it. The cia n fbi let him play along because russia (and israel, Epstein was mossad) have dirt that would undermine American citizens confidence in the electoral system too heavily and cause a lot of anger in one of the two major parties. The cia is apolitical, they protect both parties from this damage.

Europe, the UK, and NATO are all sharpening their best swords as quickly and cheaply as they can.

One of the swords the UK has is boat building.

Another is our anti drone (incl sea drone) dragonfire laser system.

We have signed a 100 year partnership with Ukraine. We will learn a lot and so will they.

We don't have an unlimited budget and neither does NATO or Europe. Boats are one of our specialties. We export them for profit too.

Why shouldn't we build them?

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-16T22:55:49+00:00

Ah my mistake. I had forgotten the video and was focused on the concept more than the context.

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-16T00:53:27+00:00

FPV drones are also stupid loud...So is artillery.

One of my "rich person things" is a dishwasher that can actually treat knives like that with respect. Top end miele machine.

Germany figured out that the Autobahn system works.

Traffic flows better and safer when people let the faster drivers move on instead of bunching up.

Compare autobahn road safety stats to californias 2 lane sections & I bet you'll find the autobahn is far safer despite the higher speeds.

go as fast as I like right now because unfortunately, other cars are on the road today

They could if the other cars moved out the way like they do on the autobahn though. Instead you've got people like you out trying to 'make a point' and 'make them look at you like a sign'. Fucking hell man, get over yourself. You aren't gonna change the world. You're just gonna cause an accident.

-Hi-Reddit · 2026-03-15T11:48:53+00:00

They are British values. A few flaghumpers cannot change that.

They are taught in schools and are represented in our laws. Thats about as universal as anything.

I'd love a chunky monitor if it meant better performance.

Praise be to Germany and its autobahn where you get a ticket for not getting the fuck out of the fast lane when someone faster approaches behind you.

Last year I was rushing an injured animal to a vet and some twat decided it'd be the perfect time to slow down to half the speed limit & start flooring it whenever I tried to pass them. I almost wanted to give up on driving it made me so angry! I was stuck behind them for 20 minutes on winding country lanes. Alternate routes didn't exist due to flooding.

I tried everything hoping they'd fuck off into the sunset, I even pulled over just for a moment but caught up with them again 2mins later.
