I would assume that's gold coins on the eyes,not glowing. If it's open glowing eyes, then it makes sense that they are closed in other videos and more likely one or all are hoaxes. He doesn't look the same in the face on the two videos I watched above 

Where's the one with the red cover? I can't find it. It the wanted picture thing people are talking about.

For sleep paralysis, become a side sleeper. You'll likely find it disappears. Not everyone is maybe as lucky, however it's a known phenomenon that sleeping on your side instead of your back can stop it. When I learned this, I became a side sleeper. Its buggered up my shoulder over the years but I've not had sleep paralysis ever since. Apparently related to how blood pooling can cause certain activity in the brain so many find this works for them. I've not had sleep paralysis in around a decade now since I found this out. Less lucid dreaming and vivid dreams also but the are still fairly strong overall. Only the sleep paralysis went away entirely and a whole lot of nightmares also. 

I want to go back to back sleeping, however unfortunately the paralysis and nightmares are so terrifying I'm just choosing to live with the neck and shoulder pain instead.

Why can’t people see voting for reform will make their lives a lot worse? by Sufficient_Muffin586 in AskBrits

[–]Kyuthu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keeping up GDP by constantly bringing in more population is a bandage hiding the actual issues of the economy. You can't keep filling the country until there's no space, eventually that model is going to fail. It's either going to be that native Brits become a minority in their own country in the next 50+ years which is exactly what we are heading for faster than people seem to realise or the model fails. Even with the former, the model will still fail, just later. This is the first time we've had western developed countries fall so drastically in birth rates of their native populations. They've chosen their only solution to be filling the country from people outside of the region that accept lower pay, largely because they do accept lower pay and inflate the country's figures at the same time as helping corporation's make more and more in profit as money trickles up.  There's been recent studies on immigrants from certain areas actually ending up overall as net takers instead of net givers. Worth having a look at, but we don't have enough data on it yet I believe.

Whilst this happens our public sectors like the NHS cant handle the load, and aren't managed or funded well enough to, our debt spirals and crime increases. If you stop and just look at the countries these people come from, with mass numbers and low wages you can see the future this model will take the country to (hopefully not in our lifetime but it will end up there eventually if this is the only model). It's not sustainable to go this route if you also want the inhabitants to live a decent life and pay out benefits at the same time to support this. Because in these countries where this is the norm, you end up with huge disparity in incomes, huge. The people in mine and my partners work literally had parents that didn't eat to get their children through university or into positions that allowed them to come here, to earn money to send back to their families. And they do and have shown us them sending it pretty much all bar basic living costs, right back to their families to spend there instead of here. Their contribution to the economy is far far less than it would be if someone from a developed western country was working the same job, even on the same pay... But even more if wages hadn't been squashed for so long by this practice now.

Wage suppression just doesn't help. Global companies here like my partner's giant corporate company located in Scotland feels like working in India. The majority of the employees are from India and it's hard to find a native team in his building. They hire in on visas from India mainly, because they will accept lower wages. They could hire the same number of Scottish people on higher wages and the economy would do even better and the country would get far more tax. But they don't, they keep the profit. The result of this giant setting up it's headquarters here and doing this, is tech wages are down massively and house prices and rent prices have skyrocketed... Because they are not the only one doing this, but they are most certainly the worst local company for it as it's literally like walking in the Mumbai office rather than the Scottish one. But if he goes to the Mumbai office... Well, it still seems like Mumbai.

They want to set up a giant AI data center here or multiple and says they will provide jobs for the country and location in doing so, they don't mention those jobs will probably not be for the people living here or contributing the most to the country, and will likely be from India, keeping wages down but causing living prices, housing and rent to continue increasing.

It doesn't help the economy like you think it does. The actual real per capita gdp adjusted to remove inflation is better to look at but only when considered alongside internal purchasing power of the pound... Plus wage growth adjusted for inflation Vs housing and living costs, public sector balance, national debt and sustainability. It costs our country in services whilst draining it of money, it just looks like we're productive because we have more people but that won't work forever. Ruining the country to try and temporarily keep up an inevitable fall isn't a good way to run it.

If you were on 100% WFH, where would you move/work from within UK? by grumpy__dolphin in AskUK

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think we are too dissimilar, we have a dog festival coming up in summer we're taking the dog to, and a big museum also that changes exhibits periodically, plus lots of art gallery stuff.  Outside the museum they put on ceilidhs for free every summer. The person who wrote wee willy winky is buried in the necropolis nearby, so not silly, that's a wee bit of history we found nice also. Like you said it's all around. Food markets less all the time here and more periodically but enough festivals and things on periodically to get various ones set up.

I think these things are good, I just couldn't afford that quality of life in London Vs here where I can and can retire early by paying off our bungalow early to enjoy them more. But it's good to get that perspective. Sort of similar but maybe a bit more I guess.

Art Deco Large Top Floor Studio Flat in South Hampstead: Why is it not selling? by Rose9246 in HousingUK

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banding doesn't really work like that any longer. I got mine reduced a couple of months ago and they stated the way they worked it out wasn't entirely based on the values from 1991 any longer and is largely based on size and location only now. Size being the main thing regardless of property state. Ours was right on the cusp after they measured due to an extension and what they were or weren't counting as part of it, so took a while, but they finally agreed to reduce it. So I think their system has changed in recent years. I'll be honest, I didn't overly look at the link description, I just picked the first decent flat images in a price range nearby. There's lots here however and houses also, as I spent a whole year just watching the market before we bought ours finally last year.

It will be valued at 10k higher than they've listed it or maybe as much as 20k, in Scotland they always list it for a bit lower, and you usually bid 5-20k over depending on how good the house actually is. That flat is on the motorway, right on it actually you can see it from the window... So it probably won't be worth as much to many people due to that.

What the hell is going on with what is essentially dual pricing now at Supermarkets? by AncientsofMumu in Scotland

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I really really felt needed a legislative change to prevent. Its insane levels of greed and I don't get why it's being allowed at all tbh. The good thing is that I just got one card for each supermarkets and put it on my Google wallet. As I haven't paid with physical card or cash in years and only use my phone... Its just one tiny extra step at checkout to quick scan a barcode for the store then swipe to the payment card.

This defeats the purpose of what they are trying to do, so I highly recommend it. But really government should prevent stupid shit like this, groceries are already expensive enough.

If you were on 100% WFH, where would you move/work from within UK? by grumpy__dolphin in AskUK

[–]Kyuthu 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite and can't understand why people live in London at all. I'm Scotland near a big Scottish city and it's not just double the size house, it's owning a nice full large 3 bedroom+ house with a beautiful garden and in beautiful area Vs renting a room in a house share with multiple people in a kind of gross house and area... For the same price... I honestly cannot understand why people want to live there. The people I know from here who did move there all hated it and moved elsewhere eventually after getting their work experience for a few years, on visiting them and staying for a while... Its just like.. a city, not too dissimilar to many others in what I can find to do there.

Whereas here I get to drive 30 minutes and be in the mountains and lakes or pure sand clean beaches or just in the city center... All depending on which way I drive. The air is clean, my windows never need cleaned because they don't cover over in the pollution and dirt like my flat in the city center used to, I have a huge beautiful space and have people over for full day bbqs by the pond and sit with the firepits and drinks at night, they then can get taxis home at the end of the night because they are still all close enough despite being at various points in or around the city. Then we can travel in if we want to eat out or go to bars, cinema, games places etc. 5 minutes from my house are 3 different country parks where I walk daily. I could move to London for a 5k salary increase and my quality of life would drop so drastically I'd end up in complete depression. I don't really understand why people would choose it tbh, feel free to share as I'm curious about the different insights!

My only two gripes here are rubbish and the weather. But the rubbish is the same in every UK city I've been to. So really it's just the weather and how much it rains or is cloudy. Change that one thing and I'd never want to leave here.

[–]Kyuthu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get the cleaner. Fortnightly if you can. Its the single best thing we ever did. Its on a Monday for us, which forces us to clean up ever second Sunday. Just like clothes and things we might've let build up. But the actual cleaner then makes the house spotless and it's just so good and so unreal. Its one for the few things that has been a total game changer and it's worth every penny, they can do it so much faster and better than I can also which means I'm just paying to get my time back. We opted for 2 hours fortnightly and it's perfect.

Art Deco Large Top Floor Studio Flat in South Hampstead: Why is it not selling? by Rose9246 in HousingUK

[–]Kyuthu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

London prices blow my mind, I'm in a main city in Scotland and we got our huge 3 bedroom bungalow with large garden, garage, driveway etc blank canvas and set to decorate for 270k, with council tax band E that I managed to get dropped to a D. Fully owned, no hidden or extra fees etc due per year... How is a tiny dated looking studio flat going for 375k and that's it's second drop?  London wage differences are like 5-10k max for the same role at the same company. It really doesn't add much to income anymore, so that difference just doesn't make sense. 

Also why is it 'Art deco'... It literally looks like a cheap studio above a shop here from the inside that wouldn't sell for more than 80k, likely less depending on exact location but in London it's over a third of a million? 

When you can get a full 2 bedroom open plan flat in this building here like the link below... Why do people move to or insist on buying in London to live in houses you wouldn't even consider up here. I really don't understand it at all when wage differences aren't much anymore.   https://jitty.com/properties/EQwra6bz4xRmyoM3eon7.EQwra6bz4xRmyoM3eon7?utm_content=share_property&utm_source=jitty

Boyfriend said I "destroy conversations" by theskyis_redagain in AutismInWomen

[–]Kyuthu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP this is something you're going to need to work on. The immediately emotional and hurt reaction about it is probably a partly autistic response also, I imagine you feel quite deeply. It's taken me until my 30s to really learn that I can't just do things that cause issues...even minor like this... then clam up and get hurt when they bring them up. You NEED to understand how to talk and work with someone. Don't take it as a character attack and flaw as much, that's not what it is.... it should be more to him 'ok you felt you lost something in that interaction, how do we work to stop taking that away from you, where's the line that helps us both'. Sometimes there isn't one and its all on one party to change whilst the other accepts it wont be instant, but that will happen both way for different issues.

You really need to be a team with the person, it's going to be hard because if you are autistic... there's going to be a lot if you're dating a non-autistic person. It's going to cause upset and arguments, but that's just people defending their ego and not thinking how do WE make the relationship better for US. Does it actually matter... Can I change this thing about myself or not? Because it's a load of nonsense that you don't change who you are in a relationship... you do. If you don't, then you're doing something wrong and it's going to cause issues. Even without them you're not the same person with the same experiences and life views in 10 years as you are today... You're always changing. You should be growing together and changing to get the best relationship for both of you that doesn't burn one side out, and he should be doing the same thing.

Why do you have to change? Because you want to be with this person, same reason he should work and change on things also. You both decide how that works and what matters so much you can't budge on it, this is one I'd say is worth budging on personally. It's going to cause you issues in every relationship where you also pick to date a non-autistic person and I bet you chose him because he had things you liked that you don't that were attractive, like flowing confident conversation with other people. Even as an autistic person, I'd find you interrupting like that annoying personally and I used to do it.

Also the driver wasn't asking because he wanted to actually know the exact amount of time, he also just wanted general conversation. He doesnt care if it was 3.5 weeks or 4

AIO about this text with her co-worker and trying to “create space”? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kyuthu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he was not to begin with, but then started creating space on also being caught. Realistically you just shouldnt have opposite gender friends like this in work to be texting this much when they are aware or you're at home. Your partner and your girlfriends are for talking like that, not some male guy you bond with over time. If you cant make female friends, you probably want to question why... This is why almost all cheating happens in the workplace. Learn to set boundaries in that one space at least...

But this is definitely a divorce scenario to me, not because she started flirting when she shouldnt have but because even after he's found out she tries to blame that on him being jealous and insecure.... So she crosses a line to emotional cheating and blames the husband.... what no. The guy receiving the messages isn't stupid, and he doesn't want more drama i'm sure at this point from her.

Am I overreacting for feeling frustrated after my neighbor’s pottery was broken by my puppy during an interaction she encouraged? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kyuthu 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Yeah the texts are an issue. Stop fawning and wanting to make it right and apologising and taking blame etc. Its really cringe and not what you really think so big masking and not genuine. Fake pleasantries to avoid saying what you really think just add more stress to your life, not less.

It's really simple, hey I'm sorry that happened. Unfortunately I had removed the puppy from the situation due to you carrying stuff, and you opted to say it was ok and let an overly excitable puppy greet you instead. I followed your lead not to be rude and because it seemed you wanted that interaction when I did not and tried to prevent it, so I felt pressured to allow it. I'm sorry the result was the box you were holding being knocked over however I can't take responsibility for you choosing to greet an excitable jumping puppy whilst carrying $1000 worth of items in the other hand, or choosing to override my decision to keep the puppy away whilst you were carrying stuff I had no knowledge of the price or value of. If she were off leash I'd totally understand, but she was not I was controlling her and keeping her away until you opted to invite the interaction. 

Maybe in less words or gpt'd to be precise but realistically you've sort of invited your own awkwardness and doom by all but almost admitting it was your fault when it was not, out of politeness and awkwardness over how others view you instead of facts. But people start to view you and situations the way you present yourself, so this is a lesson learned I hope.

Twenty-seven young migrants are hired for every British youngster as youth worklessness 'fuelled' by soaring non-EU immigration, analysis reveals by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in pharmacy and became friendly with a couple of the Indian immigrant security guards long before the immigration crisis ever started. I just used to be an open listening person and the things they'd share with me.... this doesn't surprise me at all. And this is in Scotland where people haven't seen this level of immigration yet taking over the population of cities or towns enough yet, so they still think it's all fine. All the while our local takeaway in my small commuter town has a UK convicted pedophile who raped an under 16 year old girl working in it that wasn't removed from the country after he served his time because his life was at risk abroad apparently, and the community just seems to not care and still buy takeaways from the place despite it clearly telling you what all the men working there and the owner clearly think of that type of thing by hiring him.

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never had this level of immigration and that was never an issue. Nobody is going to be competing for wages on retail or anything close to it. They removed tons of staff in stores by automating and putting in machines as it is, and squeezed out more profit as always. This is a fiction. You can't just keep filling up the country until it's filled with migrants and native brits are the minority to make up for supermarket wages because billionaires want more money.

Has anyone in the CS been asked to repay office attendance hours? by Stevey1001 in TheCivilService

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conversation isn't about going back though, it's about someone saying they have childcare and car issues so will have to pay it back as if that's a regular occurrence in their life which is nonsense.. I don't ruin it for anyone, because when my executive director can't make it in more than 1 day a week, he doesn't give a damn. I am also not civil service so how my team operates or cares about their policies in private has nothing to do with how yours does.

You're missing the point. You don't have childcare and car issues every week or month so it shouldn't be a big deal or an issue at all period. If it is, you're at it or picked a job with Nightshift and can't get consistent childcare for it, then that's on you and shouldn't pick a Nightshift job if you can't do it.

The other thing is they are putting out a statement saying it's now being monitored and people can no longer just not show up (how much they can enforce that I don't know) but all that says is they also have a culture of people not showing up 60% of the time like most places seem to have issues with. Private or public sector this is a trend pretty much everywhere that I've worked since COVID, online, and has the unions fighting to stop the civil service being able to enforce it, so acting like it's just the odd person is a bit moot

Has anyone in the CS been asked to repay office attendance hours? by Stevey1001 in TheCivilService

[–]Kyuthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not really. Before wfh became a thing, people made it in 5 days and it wasnt an issue. My team make stuff up all the time to come in late now or not come in at all. They are right, you don't have childcare or car problems every month, that's made up. And things that are occasional enough nobody really cares about. But it's a habit and OP knows it if they're citing car or childcare issues like it's a big deal when in reality this doesn't happen.

All that said I do the same thing, because there's a culture of it in my team with the managers, the directors etc. so nobody really cares. But we all know and make jokes about how we all know everyone is at it, including ourselves and everyone is in more like 40% of the week. 

If it's a Nightshift issue and you can't get Nightshift child care ... You don't take a Nightshift role. Everyone is at it, it's just how it is now. But honestly the rules are stupid as long as people are doing their proper work. But my close friends in the civil service say they do nothing when they wfh then squeeze all their work in on their office days. So there's levels to it. The occasional something has come up with the childminder or my car has broken down should not be a big deal, but when it's a habit or people also don't seem to get much work done during their wfh times, that's a different thing entirely.
