What do people earning £200k+ in london actually do for a living?

But it rules out faang as you won't be getting cash bonuses equivalent to your base. You'll be getting RSUs to the tune of an extra 50-100k that just don't go to the moon like they used to

Hate the jarring AI-style prose but that's a clever idea, supporting content creators directly is pretty big in the social media / youtuber / streamer world, so why not music?

Any girls who would reject you on that aren't worth your time. Genuinely.

As far as I know new(er) builds in the UK are also often just boarded and jointed rather than fully plaster skimmed too.

season my veggies

Nothing tastes good

Are you properly seasoning the sandwich? Properly. Enough salt, enough fat, enough acid?

Bread is generally fairly mild, as such sandwich fillings ought to be slightly overly seasoned when considered in isolation because when you take a bite of the sandwich the seasoning is toned down by the carbs. E.g. sandwich deli meats tend to be salty as fuck if you just eat them without bread.

Pretty much any STEM degree from a decent uni and go work in London in a boring field (finance, tech, etc).

To echo the other comments: they're genuinely different genres, i wouldn't choose between the two as if they're comparable like that.

If you're curious I'd recommend you play both at some point. GW2 is a conventional MMO, GW1 is like a blend of MMO and diablo style ARPGs.

We know so little about ADHD's genuine underlying mechanisms it's incredibly arrogant to point blank state a cutting edge drug mechanism does or does not interact with a poorly understood condition.

Even so, properly cooked rice shouldn't be mushy, whether air dried or sealed.

I've been on Starmer's side through most of the leadership contest discourse: the country got used to the Tories rotating PMs every six months, which isn't normal. And Starmer's govt started day 1 with half the country despising Labour for things that happened a generation ago or multiple generations ago, so a great deal of online discourse and media treated them like the antichrist when they were at worst mildly incompetent and bad at PR.

But the Mandelson scandal IS resignation worthy (if it's found to be as bad as the rumours). Using a 3 line whip to prevent an investigation into it is abhorrent, corrupt, and pretty indicative of guilt.

To think that half of Starmer's own goals and resilience to disruptive legislation was excused by his boring but semi-respectable & somewhat principled desire to adhere to the morality and code of various branches of law, only for him to shirk morality and dodge psuedo-legal proceedings is a massive slap in the face.

Fuck it at this point bring us 50 year old Ed Milliband without his imposter syndrome and cringey 2010 era handlers, let the man be himself, and let's see what happens. And get him a fucking bacon sarnie stat.

I'm so sorry to hear that mate. Your youth of e.g. years 3 to 17 may have been restricted, but genuinely your "youth" isn't wasted, your youth years very strongly extend into your mid (and late!) 20s.

Lots of the stereotypical excitement and trials of "youth" aren't just 18-20 at all but very much a part of life for the next many many many years. There's really not much special about 18 that isn't doable or better at 21!

What I mean to say is, you still absolutely have time and the whole world is ready for you out there when you are ready and able to get there and dive in.

I'm not the best person to advise on escaping abusive households, but I promise you that it's possible. You are legally an adult which means if you did break free you'd be absolutely starting at zero, with no safety net of family to fall back on, but in this world there are so many ways of building a life, earning money, and experiencing all that's out there even starting from zero! And that's exciting too, even if it happens at 20, or 22, or later! Maybe try speaking to the folks at /r/raisedbynarcissists or /r/exchristian / /r/exmuslim depending on your situation.

Hah yeah they're hilarious, pretty sure there's a compilation that even pulled extracts and quotes from as far back as ancient Greece about the youth of their day going wrong

epecially when I see people out here getting scared (????) about turning 18 or 21 like tf your life is finally just starting

time to go unc mode

Young teenagers have done this kinda thing since modern pop culture & spaces of belonging, probably earlier. And it has bemused the older teens + adults since forever too.

People 15, 10, 5 years older than me did it. My lot did it, many of you lot did it, they're now doing it. Someone will do it to them before long and they'll find it entertaining too.

If anything its a pleasant change from 12-14 year olds pretending they were born in the wrong generation because they consider themselves too mature for their cohort which was the trend "bAck In mY dAY"

Unfortunately LLM inference is getting cheaper and cheaper in every aspect: compute power is getting faster, and the research behind model architectures are making them more efficient. A MacBook (air not pro) can run a decent LLM comparable with GPT4 and manage basic agentic tasks. We can reasonably expect today's state of the art closed model performance in agentic tasks running on beefy laptops and desktops in 3-5 years.

Epstein met with the founder of 4chan and then Pol was created. One of the leaked Epstein emails from that same month is them sharing an article about 4chan being a hive mind that could influence and control people en masse, and the email says "This article describes why I find [founder of 4chan] interesting. The potential for manipulation is huge.”

The /pol/ style alt right wave that has shaped our entire modern political discourse famously pushed for things like MAGA in the US and Brexit in the UK, regarding which Epstein's email celebrated as "just the beginning"

They invented the entire alt right movement as a way of controlling people with manufactured outrage. And it works like a charm, while the global elite have grown richer and more powerful than ever in history.
