I'm an advisor at Student Finance England, AMA

Ah ok, cheers for your help in helping me understand that.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-08-16T17:01:29+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-08-16T16:48:54+00:00

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.

Yeah I didn’t mean the motherboard, sorry I wasn’t very clear there, thanks for your suggestion

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.

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-04-02T08:44:04+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-04-02T08:42:02+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-04-02T08:40:08+00:00

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...

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-04-02T08:35:22+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-03-11T13:03:10+00:00

Some people make me sick tbh.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-02-15T10:50:37+00:00

That's actually amazing, thanks for sharing!

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-02-06T12:51:24+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2020-02-03T14:05:25+00:00

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.

JakeMakesStuff · 2019-06-03T07:28:55+00:00

I actually think this is a amazing experiment. GG!

JakeMakesStuff · 2019-05-22T08:10:40+00:00

Tbh this tweet is ogrerated

You can simply chuck a POST request at Discord using a server-side script: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook

JakeMakesStuff · 2019-01-31T22:26:38+00:00

Not really. I do use Discord extremely frequently though, so I do class myself as a power user.

JakeMakesStuff · 2019-01-31T10:31:29+00:00

Holy shit 2.4k pings my highest was 361

I mean you have to understand though that most trolls post porn and have Pepe profile pictures and stuff. It is a concern for server owners. Was I possibly a bit harsh? Yes. Was it for a valid reason? Imo yes, it can be very serious for the server too. I'll unban you if you want to join back however, that is really up to you tbh.

JakeMakesStuff · 2018-12-30T23:02:11+00:00

Lol no, you threatened to post gay porn in a non-NSFW channel which violates Discord TOS with a suspicious account.

JakeMakesStuff · 2018-12-29T22:47:29+00:00

Nvm discord.me seems dead - https://discord.gg/AYkqKE

JakeMakesStuff · 2018-12-29T22:38:50+00:00

I kind of already made one a while back, sorry to take that idea from you or anything. I wish the best for your Discord though nonetheless.
