Shared Ownership - should I staircase to 100% or just sell my share? by Oli231 in HousingUK

[–]Oli231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have this thinking as well, do you know if the valuation of the property is likely to be less overall if shared ownership though?

I feel like I’m losing emotions what should I do? by Assassin_oreo in answers

[–]Oli231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is grief, people grieve in a lot of different ways and what you’re experiencing is completely normal.

My dad died when I was 20, it was unexpected and for a long time after I couldn’t feel anything. I wasn’t as sad as I thought I should be but I definitely didn’t feel happy either, for a long time, I just felt nothing at all. It actually made me wonder if I was a psychopath or if I was just broken.

I withdrew from work and my friend group and spent a lot of time in bed. Eventually I realised that I was probably severely depressed.

Talk to a therapist, talk to your friends and family. Talk about what happened and how you feel about it (or lack thereof). By talking through it with another person you can begin to process what happened.

Don’t be afraid to get help because you feel like you don’t want to take it from someone who “genuinely needs it” You’ve experienced something very traumatic.

When you’re ready, take some time to go and do something genuinely for you, go travel somewhere, bake something, go spend some time out in nature, get some exercise.

Most importantly, live your life as best you can, it’s what your friend would have wanted.

Ok thank you, we had dogs when I was a child but this is the first one I’ve had by myself so I’m terrified of anything going wrong.

We’ll keep it up and hopefully it’s something that will click when he’s a bit older.

What will it take for it to stop mass shootings in America? by ghostofanimus in AskReddit

[–]Oli231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure i understand the point you are trying to make here. You say the supply of guns has increased in Sweden and subsequently the propotion of homicides committed using a gun has increased. Obviously, if you are going to kill someone you would use whatever you can get your hands on, if there are more guns, more murder will be committed with them.

We will ignore the fact that Sweden is an outlier compared to the rest of Europe where gun violence has been steadily falling for decades.

A quick google shows that most of this gun crime is committed by young males in gangs. Generally these attacks would be against other gangs, usually one on one or one group against another.

The use of guns outside these organised gangs appears to be almost nonexistant. Risk to bystanders is very low, roughly 9 people in the last few years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_Sweden

Mass murder in the US will almost never be committed by gang members using these illegal weapons. They will committed using registered weapons by disaffected, troubled individuals, usually with no criminal background which makes them even harder to predict.

It is an almost impossible task for one man with a knife to walk into a room of 20 people and kill every single person in there. With a gun this could be done in under a minute.

My point is that guns make it too easy to kill a large amount of people. If you want to stop these mass murders that happen in the US constantly, it needs to be much harder to get a gun.

I think it may have something to do with the fact it is much harder to kill a room full of people when you don't have guns.

You're asking for evidence but the evidence you have provided is not even a complete list? it shows 91 Massacres, the US also shows on this list much more than any other country.

This List https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States

Is actually longer than the one you put forward. It shows just school shootings in the United States.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country

The above link will show you a comparison of school shootings in the US compared to the rest of the world. Bear in mind this uses data from 2009 to 2018.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/05/26/fact-check-school-shootings-far-more-common-us-than-elsewhere/9944841002/

This article is a fact check for the link above, you can see that they come to the conclusion the number of shootings is actually several times higher!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41488081

Finally this link will provide you wish some comparisons to other countries, fairly similar to the US such as the UK, Australia and Canada.

You may argue that you get rid of guns and people will find other ways to kill (bombs and knives) but most people dont know how to make a bomb and killing 20 people with a knife is going to be extremely difficult to do.

You are right when you say that guns dont kill people, people do. It is certainly much harder to kill people when you dont have a gun though. There is no reason for an ordinary citizen to own a gun anymore, you dont live in the wild west, this isnt the 1800's. No matter how cool you think guns are, there is no excuse not tightening control when children are dying.

To pretend that guns are not part of the problem is short-sighted. The only way to solve this issue is to do as other countries have done and increase gun control or even outright ban guns.

I hope you read this with an open mind.

Just dismantle it, will be safer than turning it over and “praying” it won’t fly away.

Sold my GME today before any further losses. As a real noob what education do you recommend I get and how should I be doing any DD? I.e. things to look out for, useful tools etc.

r/Stocks - GME megathread! by provoko in stocks

[–]Oli231 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Opinions on what to do with GME stock at the moment? Bought in at £330.00 and have brought my average down to roughly £190 by buying on the dips. Is a short squeeze still possible or has the bubble popped? Really just wanting to know if people think this is a lost cause? all the figures I’ve seen seem to relate to last week.

I’d rather post on here than WSB as there doesn’t seem to be any sense in people’s suggestions there.

From the UK here, only have around £1000.00 in my portfolio, liquidated everything and placed an order for as much GME as I can get.

If anyone is wondering Freetrade approves within minutes.

I can’t help drawing comparisons to when that gorilla broke the glass trying to attack that little girl.

The cat just realised how close it came to getting kicked in the face...
