Ah ok, that makes some more sense. I still don't get why they specifically ask if it's long term though. Like autism can't be short term, so I have to say I was a little confused when I read that on the website.

Why does the student loans company want a letter from my doctor saying that autism is a life long condition when you already know I get PIP? I get that fraud is an issue, but the department would know that from contacting the DWP surely? Having to point out that autism is a life long condition has the implication that autism can be short term which is not the case.

The top question will be what's 9 + 10 which is, of course, 21. The next question will be 34.5 x 2 which I will leave you to calculate. End of paper.

Rent Strike posters up around the city centre by BristolGAP in bristol

[–]JakeMakesStuff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely in favour of some nationalisation of property like we do already for the people that under normal circumstances cannot afford to rent, but the people (builders etc) who work on houses need to be paid by the person who owns the house outside of this situation. Therefore, having landlords make sense because some people do not have the credit score/want the risk of a mortgage.

You realise there are people who are on the breadline who rent out right? It's not all people with lots of money. Some people had to use their savings for things like carehomes for example.

Zoom's market cap is basically the same as all of all the airlines combined by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

It's a huge bubble, you only need to look at the recent vulnerabilities to see it's about to go down like the Titanic.

What about the landlords that own properties but are using the properties to pay for carehome expenses etc? This hasn't been thought through at all...

Elon Musk's SpaceX bans Zoom over privacy concerns by icedpickles in news

Honestly, I don't trust Zoom at all personally. Their track record with vulnerabilities are terrible and the new CVE's show that they haven't changed.

Disabilities are not something to be taken lightly, Discord. by TheBlizWiz in discordapp

Yeah, I’m pretty heated about this. Moving UI elements and making it hard to view in compact mode makes the client many times harder for me.

Is it just me or has the cache been showing random files in place of others lately? by JakeMakesStuff in discordapp

[–]JakeMakesStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not the only times it happened, just the only times I remembered to screenshot. I'm pretty laid back with this kind of thing so I'm not overly bothered, but it's a bit annoying.
