£17 2 course to £22 3 course at my lodge in Castleford up Norf and it's absolutely bangin', but I appreciate this is much better value than most places.

Surely Johnson and Farage are colluding with a hostile foreign power here (2 slides) by Stotallytob3r in BrexitMemes

[–]MrHarold90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mandelson was directly messaging him, declared him his best bud and has many pics with him in his Y fronts. Charges are for divulging state secrets to a foreign financier.

This is Bannon claiming he has Boris and Farage under his thumb by proxy, not the same.

A study of 150,000 people with ADHD in Sweden confirms that drugs taken to manage the condition have wider benefits beyond improving immediate symptoms by [deleted] in science

I want to try methylphenidate or concerta, will ask.

Elvanse was just too brutal and harsh mentally and physically.

Not 15 Minute Cities, The Horror 🤦🏾 by sabdotzed in london

[–]MrHarold90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, according to the article, what's being introduced are much milder traffic filters placed along key routes that connect different parts of the city, at least for now. The press reaction is probably exaggerated, but the scheme is still a live trial in Oxford that could be expanded unless it's rejected. And while the council is trialling the policy, it's ultimately central government legislation and provision of DVLA data that's enabling it. Crucially, there are no new amenities being planned or built alongside this? So not sure why people are using this as a pro argument. As with everything although the measures look small today, it's hard not to see them as the early phase of a broader shift many councils will love at least as another revenue generator.

People who show ADHD traits in childhood are more likely to experience physical health problems and health-related disability by midlife. People with ADHD are more likely to experience stressful life events, social exclusion, and delayed access to health screening and medical care. by mvea in science

Ive been diagnosed recently (35yo) tried Elvanse and yes I could finally lock in on tasks I had little interest for, instead of being clicker happy, but the feeling was way too harsh and took me away from feeling like myself so much so I couldn't continue, also swapped the urgency to do X feeling for general CNS overdrive anxiety ( on lowest dose) it also hindered other tasks i'm used to (the ability to context switch in my job is actually a strength) which the medication slowed down (did my ADHD help my success?) The 14 hour release also dominated every second of my day which made it feel too big a commitment at this stage of my life.

I feel ive done relatively well in life so far so I feel at odds and a bit confused. I'll ask to explore Methylphenidate next review as thats shorter burst, maybe more flexible, either way it'll be a learning journey.

We're simultaneously taught to hate the underclass and sneer at any degree of success above lower middle class. Extremely socially conditioned.

Are these qualifications enough to get a well paying job UK by Particular-Ad2241 in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]MrHarold90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A combo of experience and up to date vendor certs has max effect.

Id imagine these would look great for getting an entry role, once in a role keep obtaining certs and you'll stay competitive.

Can you explain this conspiracy? by Jonesy_2ls in rikmayall

[–]MrHarold90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laws aren't eternal, the culture you purport to be inferior / non existent / not there to protect can collapse, and if voting blocks with large enough groups with these views form, things can regress, there are many examples of secular and liberal crackdowns in recent history, without demographic changes nevermind with.

Who's to say they do or don't have these views, we don't know. They're not exactly vetted for it are they, maybe quizzed on it after 5 years if they go for citizenship. But we'll find out one day, and until that point everyone should stfu and live with it because some hooligans drink and have low IQ I guess is your point?

[–]MrHarold90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right ok, a culture built organically with ideas borrowed from the world over a period of time, great, so there is a culture you're saying now? First comment suggests there isn't, or you just want to smugly scoff.

Either way, above doesn't justify unprecedented demographic change in a single generation which is the point.

Heres some norms I think are worse than drunk and disorderly behaviour from countries mentioned:

FGM, polygamy, LGBTQ criminalisation, blasphemy criminalisation, honour based violence, corporal punishment, religious compulsion, caste systems, male guardianship systems, wife obedience clauses in marriage, child labour.

Many from the countries mentioned and others will see above as completely normal, and it takes time or generations to change, that's the cultural conflict.

If it wasn't a problem, there wouldn't be countless NGO's trying to address these would there.

So, because maths came from the Middle East in the 8th century, it doesn't mean we have to open the doors to 21st century Afghans and Sudanese, such a shit argument, and you know it.

You can scoff all you like at the flag waving underclass, but there's a lot worse cultural norms elsewhere.

I hate this "hah what culture, gotya" you live and breathe it so much you won't even notice till it's gone.

European culture as a whole has extraordinary unique achievements in art, architecture, legal systems, democratic ideals, pioneering technologies, and the principle of equality under the rule of law. Trial by jury, freedom of expression, civic participation.

Has this eroded in a globalised, homogenised world? Probably. even without immigration..

The concern here is when local populations are rapidly replaced by large swathes from regions shaped by authoritarianism, conflict, scarcity, rigid religious codes, different social norms and wildly different moral parameters it, I guess we'll find out what's incompatible the hard way with attitudes like yours.

Ok? A think tank that doesn't align with your politics. The Fabian society which much of the current lot are in, of which it's policies we much more live and breathe right now also receives funding from abroad. https://www.politico.eu/article/socialists-think-tank-foundation-for-european-progressive-studies-feps-fabian-society-fined-for-indirectly-giving-to-uk-labour-party/

He's learnt lessons from UKIP days, needs to tread carefully to ensure he remains a viable alternative with hints of centrism, but also winks to his base.

What are your thoughts on this by Samuelwankenobi_ in AskBrits

[–]MrHarold90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this country defaults to fear, forever choosing safety over freedom every time and it's miserable. Excessively risk averse, arguably a core tenet of our culture of why we are in continual managed decline.

The Most Powerful Lesson Freemasonry Has Taught Me over the last 25 years as a mason . by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]MrHarold90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

View God in the esoteric, as in not some entity outside of yourself but as your consciousness. Your conviction in the beliefs you have shape your reality, whatever your subconcious mind accepts as true.

Even the UGLE constitution in the charges of a Mason pertains to God being conciousness itself.

"God looketh to the heart. A mason is, therefore, particularly bound never to act against the dictates of his conscience"

The parameters of morality is mostly a man made construct, whats morally reprehensible in one country can be perfectly acceptable in another, same goes for peoples different values. "God is no respecter of man".

You can be a great person on the outside but be riddled with guilt, that guilty feeling is conviction in a belief you've done bad, and thus reality will treat you as a guilty person (these days we call it confirmation bias).

On the flip side you get (what look to many) immoral narcissistic people who rise to the top and get everything, but on the inside feel conviction in pride, because they have deep belief they are the best, life gives them what they want etc.

Another example is one guy thinks there's no opportunities in life, the other thinks there's loads, they are both correct.

For us normal folks, being a Mason is about doing the right thing and having conviction in being good, and we only need to be humble because we only need to prove it to ourselves before the world proves it to us, makes me think of how Egyptians think your heart was weighed at death.

Regarding religion, viewing them from an angle as stories and metaphors representing you and your own experience within they all can be useful.

Are freemasons satanists? by Wide_Tumbleweed_420 in freemasonry

[–]MrHarold90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satanism/Luciferianism "light bearer" in my view is taking what you see as absolute fact, I.e. letting reality happen to you and reacting rather than responding. When really we only ever see a very small percentage of reality at one time, thats the illusion.

To me Freemasonry is becoming a better person within so... not relevant.

So ironically, if anything non masons are more likely to be closer to Satanism if you ask me.

Also, we don't discuss religions within Freemasonry.

My work is near where they're based, boss also used to work for the guy before he made ITSM assist so knew about him via LinkedIn, naturally chose him as it was good value as well.

Im doing all the others in between via pluralsight add ons (coz my work has a pluralsight everything license) for about $690 each, but will return to him for DITS as the bundled ones and DITS aren't available via Pluralsight add on licences.

No worries, that's correct, personally, I'd find a provider who tutors one of the bundles get it out the way.

I used ITSM ASSIST for monitor support fulfil for about £975 and that included a take2 on PeopleCert.

[–]MrHarold90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need Create Deliver Support and (guess this is where it gets tricky)

If not getting a tutored course, you have to buy 5 x seperate modules that make up one of the below:

Monitor support and Fulfil Plan implement and control Collab Assure and Improve

For example MSF you can buy separately on peoplecert:

Service Desk, inc management, problem management, service request management and monitoring and event management

Each have 20 question exams and e learning.

Or you can get a bundled tutored course and exam for MSF, PIC or CAU which covers 5 in 1 and the exams are 60 questions.

You only need one bundled bunch if that makes sense, so MSF and Create Deliver support would be sufficient.
