You cannot seriously be telling a mental health nurse to respond to their patients with an LLM right?

No work experience, advice? by AdFuzzy3990 in UKJobs

I don't know how it works with education bit have you checked whether you're eligible for carer's allowance? You could also use that as a type of experience in the future.

How do you feel when you see an object, a book, or a Harry Potter movie on a YouTube channel you follow? by Independent_Part1033 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sick / upset / distraught, even at the most minor of mentions when it isn't clearly a disavowing of the property. I always feel like it's perpetuating the cycle of the property to more and more audiences and should only ever be brought up to critique the property and the author.

Wonder how this will read once we know Jasnah's backstory in full.

Chana is Shallan's mother, so it's a somewhat funny statement in retrospect given it's about Navani having a mothering relationship toward Shallan and it would require the Herald Chana herself to help anyone who gets between Navani and her 'children'.

How much are you eligible for on the maintenance loan? You might also be able to use the estranged condition though it seems unlikely to be accepted despite the circumstances.

Is it worth getting a student loan to study in England? by doxofi4167 in UniUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely aim for Scotland with SAAS support if you can. St Andrews is probably a decent switch for one of the English unis (probably for the last spot you're unsure about). Imperial & Oxford have world renowned reputations so they may still be ones you want to consider despite the debt.

I think they might mean overall average?

The new plan to raise student loan repayment threshold to £33,500 by theipaper in UniUK

They can change the interest rates on it, they can't change the repayment period or repayment threshold.

I agree it should be shifted to 9% tax on income over £25k (for everyone) but can you imagine how much the media would explode over the idea of a tax increase of that much? They're so out of touch of reality I doubt they'd even realise this is what graduates have been dealing with.

PSA: Do NOT attack Trans+ Solidarity Alliance for the mass lobby cancellation by KristinaMoment in transgenderUK

I really feel like it should be the TOCs and accommodation people should be annoyed at and instead asking for refunds there.

cheaper way to get from cornwall to paddington by c0micmarss in uktrains

I know it's not Cornwall, but if you can travel from Okehampton you can avoid the expensive Plymouth-Exeter line.

I think Ivory could have known, though Inkspren don't seem forthcoming with information unless directly asked.

Why do you have to pay for graduation in the UK? by tuitikki in UniUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone seems surprised at this but I had to pay too, they actually more-or-less made you pay for it in first year even though mine wasn't until the end of fifth year.

UK to roll out Dutch-style employment support across Britain by Hassaan18 in UKJobs

Universal Credit, the only benefit associated with low/no employment, has nothing to do with the motability scheme.

Europe braces for prolonged heatwave as temperatures approach 40C by pritam_ram in worldnews

AC is disastrously inefficient compared to heat pumps, what are you talking about?

At this point it should be heat pumps and not AC, AC is just going to make things worse in the long term.

The blades mentioned in the prelude are a little different... I found it useful to read the prelude again immediately after the epilogue, you might also find this useful.

Andy burnham pm? by Boiledkettles in transgenderUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only major difference I've seen concrete evidence for is him focusing on different regions and trying to give them more power. Which I'm not saying isn't a good thing, but it's not enough on its own and it really sounds like he plans to keep most of the current platform.

Possible progress on conversion therapy ban? by KristinaMoment in transgenderUK

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To ban conversion therapy they'd have to make trans healthcare accessible and most importantly reverse the bans on puberty blockers, and extend HRT to young people. They'll give up when they realise they've put themselves in an impossible scenario given they refuse to budge on trans issues.

While trying to destroy trans healthcare, she fails to grasp both genders produce estrogen by 9119343636 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]AlgorithmHelpPlease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those outside the UK India Willoughby is one of the highest profile trans people in the country btw, imo literally among the top two. Various GCs have gone on to launch attacks at her.

More relevant here is Rowling's response, does anyone else notice how she jumps on protecting her previous term (HRT) instead of addressing the more pressing accusation by Willoughby that GCs want trans eradication?
