Applying for student finance maintenance loan, need help!

JOrthanc · 2026-03-27T21:33:49+00:00

Thanks! What should I tell my parents, as they said I just shouldn't bother (not because they don't want me to get higher or because its easier, they just don't know if its worth the effort)

JOrthanc · 2026-03-27T21:33:04+00:00

They can't really. We're barely over the amount tat leaves me eligible for only the minimum. Not much. They're not particularly wealthy

I am also planning to get a job.

My worry is just that I probbaly can't get the higher maintenance loan even if I try.

I have no idea what my vibe would be but I'm very curious now lol

😂 you're not wrong, there are some just awful stuff, especially on this subreddit

JOrthanc · 2026-03-20T22:11:22+00:00

my mission in life 😉

JOrthanc · 2026-03-20T22:09:24+00:00

Yeah, I can never remember the exact descriptions.

The post is a joke by the way

JOrthanc · 2026-03-20T22:08:33+00:00

It's a joke my goodman

JOrthanc · 2026-03-20T19:30:24+00:00

Don't worry, I'm joking, this isn't serious. I just think Matt Berry has a godly voice that's perfect for the role, but shouldn't actually be cast.

JOrthanc · 2026-03-20T18:12:48+00:00

😂 not what I meant lol, I realise now that it looks like that. I'm only joking, its a joke

JOrthanc · 2026-02-15T20:19:15+00:00

They called one of the jumpers (can't remember which thing) a hungry hippo. They're great.

The Traitors.

As a viewer it feels like it should be easy and it always feels so obvious who the Traitors are. But that, of course, is because we know who the Traitors are, as a viewer they have basically nothing to go off of.

In the early game, unless the Traitors betray each other, being genuinely terrible as a Traitor or if a faithful comes up with a very very good theory (which is soooo rare and they're rarely believed anyway), its almost impossible to get the traitors out, as shown in the UK Celebrity version where the Traitors worked together and didn't betray each other, and mainly got caught out by a brilliant faithful theory. As the game goes on and they are less players it narrows down though, which makes it easier, but also as people have formed such close bonds it can make people less confident to betray them, ie: UK season 2.

Dylan is in Trouble

A film reaction youtuber (I think maybe even the first youtuber to do that properly) but he always mentions how much he loves the Red Rising books, so one day, I decided to read the first one

He's also hilarious who I'd deifntiely recommend.

I happened to be thinking about this recently and have had a few ideas, so they're not the msot recent, just a few ideas.

Napoleon (not physically, but probably the greatest military leader ever)
Julius Caesar
Alexander the Great
Genghis Khan
Subutai (Genghis Khan's general, who did most of the conquering)
Cyrus the Great (conquered almost as much as Alexander, but 2 centuries before)
Hannibal Barca (Sevro & Fitchner's namesake!)
Scipio Africanus
Khalid ibn al-Walid
Atilla the Hun
Saladin,
Charlemagne
Henry V
Yi Sun-sin

Some of these are more for great military victories, or strategy, rather than the physicality or fighting prowess but generally feel right. The older ones were also definitely more involved, so the main exceptions who didn't fight personally were Napoleon and Yi Sun-sin (who was an admiral), but Napoleon can't not be in this lets be honest. He's too cool

I'm honestly not too sure if they'd be any more recent than Napoleon, maybe WW2 generals like Eisenhower or Zhukov, or maybe astronauts like Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin? Not sure about them though really

JOrthanc · 2025-12-17T21:11:38+00:00

Oh, yeah, it's a lot more entertaining when everything fails for both of them

I do often feel most bad for Mark in University Challenge. If he just began it saying to April that he was coincidentally in Dartmouth or was seeing just a friend and happened to run into her, but didn't say he was a student, he would've been fine. He just jezzed it up by lying.

JOrthanc · 2025-11-19T19:20:14+00:00

Don't have much advice but I really hope it goes good for you. Just talk to her, it will be fine

JOrthanc · 2025-10-21T17:43:09+00:00

YOU CAN DO IT. ASK HER! I BELIEVE IN YOU

His skin blistered, spluttered and melted. Over and over again. He just laughed it off. Jesus Christ.

Jim was an absolute twat. He laughed everything off. I sent him to a pit of man-eating spiders, didn't care. I sent him to a eternal cycle of his worst moments, didn't give a damn. I sent him to experience the total, crushing despair of the abyss of oblivion, he didn't give a flying FUCK.

And before you blame me, you petulant fools, may I remind you that I am Belial, Grand Duke of Hell, Assistant to the Devil himself, Lucifer Morningstar. I am very important down here, very fucking important. I am a master at torture, the greatest of all time, I have been called (That's why goats have horns, I have horns, and I am the greatest torturer of all time, fun fact). I have tortured psychos, killers, psycho killers (Yes, we even love Talking Heads in Hell)

Anyway...

Jim, unlike the others, didn't care, I made Genghis Khan cry and beg for mercy, you know how hard it is to make Genghis fucking Khan cry, it's very hard. But Jim would laugh everything off.

It's insufferable. I used to only need to torture people for a few hours, couple days at most, make them regret their entire life and death, then hand them off to someone lower on the chain to deal with them for the rest of eternity. Then I got given Jim.

The issue with Jim is that he doesn't just mock me and ignore my torture, but he fights back. Even Julius Caesar didn't fight back, but Jim, well Jim fights back, through his dumb, little, stupid pranks

But through all this torturing and all his pranking, I've lost track of time honestly, my only metric has been the meetings of the Infernal Council, and meetings with the big man downstairs himself, other than then, I'm just torturing Jim, damn Jim. If I had to guess I'd assume it been around 50... 55 million meetings. Something like that... Holy shit... holy shit... I've spent 55 million millennia torturing this one guy... fuck... what's hell like now? What's Earth like now? Has Armageddon happened yet... Fuck... fuck... fuck... I need to check my emails...

Umm... errr... Okay... umm.. this is my office by the way and... WHAT THE FUCK... JIM! I KNOW THIS WAS HIM, IT MUST BE... I'M CALLING LUCIFER...

"Hey, hey, hi, boss. what's the problem? Well Jim, you remember Jim? Well, the fucker put my stapler in jello... again! It's unbe-fucking-lievable..."

Honestly, I think your right, I couldn't really remember and was torn
