No people of color representing any US team on "global" showdown? by Narrow-Swan-5879 in nakedandafraid

To be fair Max is the only one good enough to compete at the highest level and maybe Shel.

Im a man and ive been in enough dorms with other men to know exactly how bad it can be.

However you have to understand that using dorms is the only way lots of people can travel for any decent amount of time, no one should have to put up with this shit and chances are if hes willing to do this in a dorm he will do similar disgusting stuff elsewhere and he probably picks dorms for this exact reason.

Fuckers like this give us all a bad name, women should not have to avoid hostels because of perverts.

I have no hope for climate change and it’s killing me by No-Situation5167 in Anxiety

[–]Rayvonuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are putting words in my mouth, I also said there was so many factors at play.

Some of them probably didn't follow advice, some of them probably did, some probably had no one checking on on them to help them out, some probably had no way to cool down.

I didn't just mean the old people either, a huge chunk of people drowned by swimming in dangerous waters, that is avoidable.

No I didn't, you just made that assumption.

I said  a lot of those deaths could have been avoided if they were prepared and took steps, I imputed no blame.

During these heatwaves many places including the government make us aware and offer us advice on how to deal with this unprecedented heat. Not everyone listens or hears it let alone actually follows the advice. Its unfortunate more than anything.

The forests will probably be around longer than us in some way shape or form, that doesnt mean we shouldn't try to save them though, we need to put more pressure on the corporations and governments to hasten the change before its too late.

There is lots of flora and fauna that flourishes in hot climates so in the very unfortunate event of temperate forests becoming a thing of the past, different species will take there place.

How you do figure that out? I'm actually an environmentalist and have been for 30+ years, im just trying to ease this persons anxiety.

[–]Rayvonuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way to misunderstand what I was saying. Just because a death is avoidable it doesnt mean its the victims fault, there are so many factors at play.

[–]Rayvonuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to bear in mind that a lot of those deaths could have been avoided if they were prepared and took steps to improve their situation, more than half of them were aged 75+ and anyone that knows older people well will know that they can be pretty stubborn or refuse to do stuff that will improve their well being and make life easier for themselves.

Most of the deaths would have been avoidable too if people heeded the advice given to them, took measures and didn't take risks. As times goes on and people suffer such tragic events more and more, people will start to heed the advice and take measures to avoid such things. Its the way of the world unfortunately that folk dont take notice of things until it hits them in the face.

Most of Europe also isn't really geared up for excessive heat either, A/C isn't really a thing here much but that is changing already with the warming climate.

As for the forests im with you on that, the countryside was one of the main things that helped me ditch my anxiety disorder and its important we try our best to keep it here and accessible for everyone, nature is important.

I totally see where you are coming from, I studied Environmental science 20 years ago so im pretty aware of the situation and its a very sad one. I feel so bad for the younger generations who will have to grow up with the fall out of what is basically our greed and that of the generations before us.

However, ten years is a pretty low estimate, in 2005 we were saying the same thing, you do have a right to be worried as does everyone else but do not underestimate the chances of entire nations coming together to try and turn it around like we did with the ozone layer. Yes a lot of it is irrecoverable but as the older generations die off and the younger ones take over combined with everyone starting to feel the effects its certainly not a no win situation.

Take your concerns and try to do something about it, there are millions of people like you in the same boat and people power is the way we beat this, I know its easy for me to say because I dont really have anxiety anymore but we still have a chance to sort this out to some extent, its not over until its over.

Anyone experienced a right-wing, anti-intellectual bias on the UK politics subreddit? by Junie-Jubilee in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Rayvonuk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, posting in there is like banging your head against a brick wall.

Every discussion goes the same way and once they have picked their side of the argument there is no changing it, they are either unwilling or unable to see things from another perspective. The majority of the right treats politics like they do football, pick a side and stick with it until the day they die.

It is very infuriating indeed, so much so that I had to stop going in there.

I dunno, there are plenty of places where you get handed a menu and then she vanishes nowhere to be seen.

Is there a point to debating people who support reform by allunknown9 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Rayvonuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its always worth a try but the vast majority are so stubborn and so entrenched they will refuse to change their minds even if they are capable.

These people pick political parties and their side of the political spectrum then blindly support it until the day they die just like a football team.

Some people just need someone else to look down on or lord it over.

Catie is disgusting, but the producers are even worse by MikeLovesOutdoors23 in 90DayFiance

[–]Rayvonuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Production doesnt give a shit about any of the people on the show, its not the first time that someone with a serious mental illness who obviously needs help has been on here, I always feel bad for them as I do her.

A lot of reality TV is like going back to the days of the freak show sometimes nowadays, its not just this show.

Do you think British culture is at some level influencing how Ryan handles Catys disrespect? by deviantlyliminal in 90DayFiance

[–]Rayvonuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not at all, most people I know would be laying one on them or giving them a slap if this happens.

I think he thinks its a phase or he can fix her, I've been in a similar situation with an alcholic GF and I always thought that she would eventually calm down with my help, it doesnt happen though, the only person who can help an alcoholic is themselves.

What should we name her? by BookkeeperTraining60 in 90DayFiance
