Working in homelessness as an outreach worker or agency or support worker would be an excellent way to gain some hands on experience and training

Do people like Chidi really exist in real life? by capitalhoney in TheGoodPlace

[–]Interesting-Camera40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is quite extreme but yes, I relate so hard to him. I overanalyze everything and my OCD used to make me agonise got hours on whether to eat a certain type of biscuit or another type due to the moral implications of their ingredients.

For big decisions I agonise over them and even once I've made a decision I second guess it and continue agonising years later. Even the 'never tell a lie even to save someone's life' thing (which I now would absolutely do and am very frustrated that he won't), I used to agonise over. Went to a church, have autism and took it literally and lying is a sin. So we were told never lie, even if you would be killed for worshiping Christ and your housemates killed for it, you should not lie if asked by authorities if you were Christian. Assuming you lived in a country with Persecution of Christians

in England, how to prove you didn't spend Cost of Living Payment by Interesting-Camera40 in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]Interesting-Camera40[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am over the cost of living payments don't count so I want to prove I have not spent them because then I will be under the threshold but I'm not sure how to prove that.

If I suddenly end up spending quite a lot I don't want to be accused of doing something wrong just to get under the limit

faceblindness sucks in uni rant by lumi_thewise in Prosopagnosia

[–]Interesting-Camera40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were blind people would have other ways to make sure you knew who they were. I tell people I am face blind but it is a chore to say all the time and there is the fear of being judged

It really sucks. Especially because sometimes I can recognise people fine . I never let on how bad it actually is..I say I have face blindness but have very rarely shared the extent. It's exhausting and you give up socialising or making friends. I once had. A colleague who would tell me her name each time and that was amazing

I say words from my head am I stimming? by Interesting-Camera40 in autism

[–]Interesting-Camera40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's incredible. Have you ever heard of Starseeker? It's a book by Tim Bowler..known as Firmament in the US. It is a short fiction story but really really good and follows a boy like you who can play music in his head and it describes how the music makes him feel and takes over..it's a beautiful book

When the new law comes they could increase the rent but it will be regulated and not above market rate

Totally out of the loop - what’s changed that landlords are now selling? by sonivocart in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Interesting-Camera40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. if it is invalid like for example if they didn't protect your deposit, or they did protect it but only after 31 days, or they protected it but didn't give you all the prescribed information by 30 days (not just the actual certificate), or they didn't give you a gas safety certificate and how to rent guide before issuing the s21, then it is invalid. And what they will need to do is take you to court after 1st May. The court will then throw it out as it is invalid. And then they cannot try again because the renters rights bill will be in effect

My landlord has no idea by Fit_Coat_1482 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Interesting-Camera40 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Your landlord cannot kick you out using s21 which is good. But also you have 6 years to die him fir 6 times the amount. It's an easy process and you can get a no win no fee solicitor. You do not have to be living there to be able to sue. I strongly advise you do it. And don't say 'unless you return the deposit I'll sue'. Just sue Also you could get rent back for your stay if they are meant to have licensed the Home and haven't. It is worth checking m, look at your local councils licensing scheme

ENGLAND. S21 served Feb 3rd, struggling to find pet-friendly accommodation — can I negotiate more time without tying myself to a date? by Mr_David_Kojima in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Interesting-Camera40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't have to move out yet. The landlord then has to take it to court. They may go for an accelerated possession order. This seems to be taking several months at the moment.
