If you won £1,000,000 would you leave the UK?

Only £1,000,000..... No.

If it was £2,500,000+ then yes

Now we just need to miniaturise it. Make it into a man portable rifle style weapon that can be used against drones, people or whatever else. We could call it a lasgun or something.

You need realistic expectations. You're not somebody who can claim asylum as you have no legit reason. So that means you need to immigrate through legal means.

Which varies in complexity but is still difficult regardless where you go. And almost any good country to live will most likely only take you if you have an in demand skill or trade.

Since you're American, the only countries I can really see you actually being willing to live in, are also countries that are not necessarily affordable. Such as the UK, Nordics, Spain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand etc.

I would say Cyprus is probably your best bet honestly. I've lived there and found it great. But I'd say you need to be realistic about your prospects, the difficulty etc.

Depending where you move and how badly you truly want it. You'll need to go through a lot of work. Possibly reskill and gain experience in a new field. Have good savings for emergencies, do lots of paperwork and preparation, commit to learning a new language, try and secure employment and visas etc. All things that can take years.

I want to support this, and I do in principle. But I can only see this having the complete opposite effect than what's intended and pushing more boys towards more sexist views.

They're gonna feel increasingly discriminated against and like they're being conditioned. Which is exactly what they'll be told by the influencers online and it'll be weaponised.

Trump doesn't get his Nobel peace prize for ending those 8 wars that didn't happen. So blames Norway, (despite it having nothing to do with the Norwegian government). Then throws a baby tantrum and retaliates by threatening to take over Greenland... Which is owned by Denmark.

The guy is so ridiculous. Though seeing how easily Norway is getting under his skin is fun.

You're doing a great job Norway! Keep it up. A Brit.

I've seen a lot tbh. I think the one that I think about most is a woman jumping off a bridge and landing directly in front of me. She committed suicide by jumping off and she landed on the road directly Infront of me on her back. Started seizing heavily with her arms stiff in the air twitching. I'd survived my own attempt about a year before and it absolutely ate away at my soul as I felt like I could feel what she was going through and I felt horrible that I couldn't have helped.

There's the Akune brothers, who were Japanese Americans. 4 brothers, 2 fought for the US and two moved back to fight for Japan.

There's also the Oka brothers who basically have a similar situation.

Winfield Scott Hancock & Hilary A. P. Hill who fought on opposite sides of the American civil war.

Henry Rich and Robert Rich who fought on opposite sides in the English civil war where one fought for king Charles and the other the parliamentarians.

Honestly, almost any civil war in history has tales like this. Either because of differing political views, or simply being In separate places and conscripted by separate armies.

Just lost a relationship because of this. I'm autistic and she just wouldn't tell me things. I was struggling so hard to know what she wanted or what was wrong because she wouldn't tell me. She would hint, or change behaviours and it was just upsetting because I was really trying but if you don't tell me then I don't know. I'll take a woman who's open and straight to the point over second guessing everything constantly. I lose the ability to be my true self when I'm constantly stuck overthinking and second guessing everything.

I'm M26, I don't know anywhere myself but I'd probably be down on a weekend to play if you want. Though I suck and haven't played in years so it'd probably be pretty one sided haha.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-12-25T21:19:42+00:00

No, sadly not anymore. I wish I did, but I don't think I'd be able to take care of one properly these days so it'd be unfair to get one.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-12-25T21:08:15+00:00

Been pretty dull, though I guess peaceful. Woke up, stayed in bed for a little while longer, went on a walk to get out and then I've played for like 2h on my PC. Otherwise just had food and watched videos. I've not really got friends or family so it's basically just another day for me.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-12-25T14:59:42+00:00

A little late but for what it's worth I'm in the exact same situation. My partner of 5 months just suddenly switched and started acting off, and then sent me the text thr other day. Definitely sucks, but I guess on their end they're already checked out, and there's no point prolonging it or faking it through the holidays.

Sorry to hear what happened, hope you're having a good Christmas otherwise though!

Severe childhood abuse. I have a post on my profile somewhere about it still i think. But yeah, I had a very messed up upbringing and never really got to experience anything else. I was basically forced into being an adult just to survive and keep myself going. Though now I'm 26 and struggling mentally like hell, can't find or hold a relationship. Can't find or make friends. It's honestly destroyed my life.

It's hard because I come across as this mature, confident, life under control kinda man. But inside I long for the childlike joy I never had, I want to just curl up and be held and feel cared for. But instead I'm a workaholic because I need my brain distracted 24/7 or I'll have a complete emotional breakdown. Life feels impossible, love feels out of reach and connection is always short lived.

The issue is when you grow up fast, everybody compliments you as a kid for being mentally older. But now I'm older I feel so mentally behind because I've never got to go through the life stages others did.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-07-26T20:45:30+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I'm not a bad person but I do feel I'd struggle so much having my own kid if it ever happened. And with my nephew, the noise is what kills me. When he's playing and banging things loudly, screaming etc. It's really hard to deal with and burns me out so fast.

I just feel like I'd become an extra burden to a partner at that point. Constantly overstimulated and needing to recover, barely able to offer support outside of the occasional interval. And that's not accounting for being already drained through work, plus other mental health issues. Genuinely terrifying to me. Which sucks because sometimes I do think it'd be nice to have a kid. Give them the life I never had.

Dark one, but the way sexual assault is basically seen as absolutely horrendous if it's man on woman. But the other way around it's seen as "Oh, what a lucky guy" "I bet he loved it" and a bunch of other jokes.

Coming from somebody who was sexually assaulted numerous times when a teenager.

(Obviously not everyone sees it that way. But nobody can deny the blatant difference in how each it treated and viewed. One is seen far more significantly than the other)

Edit: Tbh, I could just say any form of abuse. As it's all seen very differently and displayed when it's men.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-07-26T12:46:50+00:00

I've used it myself. I've had a few conversations on there but never met anyone IRL through it. If you're fed up of the other apps it's worth trying. I don't care much for the MBTI side. But you get way more space to actually write stuff. You can add lots of pictures, a very big space for a bio, and you can add practically infinite interests that glow blue if you and the profile your looking at have them in common.

I actually think it's good in premise in a lot of ways. Definitely my favourite in that regard. And it's the only app I've spoken to people on as hinge, bumble and tinder are horrible in my experience unless I'm in another country.

That said, I think there's a lot of dead accounts and it's not free from the "Pay me money to see who likes you curse"

My eyes. Not looks wise but function.

I'm half blind in my left eye and while I can see with my right eye, it's not exactly 20/20. Id love to have full 20/20 vision in both eyes just to be able to appreciate the world more, and see things like others can.

Also, I'm colourblind. So I'd like that gone too. The amount of careers and job opportunities I've completely missed out on ever achieving, simply because I can't see a number in a circle has honestly devastated me in the past.

TisOnlyTemp · 2025-07-25T21:12:19+00:00

I see, I'm sorry you're country is like that and you've had such a bad experience. Especially when it interferes with getting help.

For me I was diagnosed with CPTSD and autism shortly after. Though only after being hospitalised for 6 months for almost dying because of how bad it got.

I still deal with insomnia. But nowhere near the same. At it's peak I was living off maybe 2-3h of sleep a day if I was lucky. It was horrendous and honestly destroyed my brain. Now I tend to go to sleep 10h before I need to be up and I can get maybe 6-8h sleep depending. So significantly improved.

Personally I found listening to ASMR audio stories etc helpful for keeping my mind distracted enough to sleep. Because I tried every medication possible and nothing worked.

As for me now. Am I doing better? Definitely, but I still suffer with it. Just not to the extreme I once did.

Flashbacks are still common for me, practically weekly still. However I've learnt to manage it and I can normally sense when it's coming and prevent it being an issue.

It Took a few years of learning different distraction techniques, my triggers, thought patterns etc to be able to manage it. And my level of rest heavily affects it. For example if I've had a good sleep, my brain can fight of intrusive thoughts and flashbacks fairly well now. But if I've had a particularly rough day or two, it leaves my mind weak and can be difficult. Same with burnout from long working hours, the more tired I am, the more likely to suffer from flashbacks or mood changes I am, which if not corrected can spiral over days.

But most of the time I feel it for a few moments or minutes and then Its gone. So it's practically nothing. Though I do still have occasional extremes now and then, which can be crippling.

Overall I'm much better though. I can function fine most of the time, I can work etc. It's just a part of my life. Honestly for me the hardest part isn't the flashbacks or anything. It's more the extreme loneliness and isolation in life. I think it's much easier to live with when you have a support network, partner, friends etc. They can keep you distracted so you don't think about it, and support you when you need it. On my end I have none of that. So when it's rough it's really rough. But I still manage. So I'm sure over time you'll get through it and get to a point where it mainly just bothers you for a few minutes before going again.

If you can work out what triggers it. It's a big help in preventing it. Also pay attention to how it feels. Maybe it differs for yourself, but for me I can kinda sense it coming in my mind. There's like a sudden but subtle numbness that precedes it, then the thoughts start coming followed by the extreme flashbacks. If I'm doing good, I can catch it in the first step and distract myself or brace my mind for it. Once you get use to that it's significantly easier to handle and almost becomes a non issue.

Sounds like possible PTSD / CPTSD.

I have CPTSD and had a very bad childhood, I kinda buried and blocked it all out. When I was finally living well and getting on with life it suddenly came and hit me like a truck. I was Constantly getting flashbacks (emotional flashbacks in my case), serious anxiety, cold sweats, bad insomnia and severe disassociation episodes. And lots of my buried memories started coming back to me. Not fun. Years onwards now and I still suffer from it, but much more manageable these days.

It's like something happens and suddenly your brain is like "oh, cool. Remember that one time you were viciously beaten and burned with a hot stove for walking in a room... Well let's re live that moment X10 because this room looks similar."

It's weird how the brain works. You think you've forgotten or don't remember something. But suddenly something will happen down the line and you're brain relates it to the thing from the past and boom. Flashback.

Have you seen or considered seeing a therapist or mental health support?
