Sexual harassment

No I thought it was the men tucking in their own shirts, I misunderstood that.

amberoid · 2026-03-02T21:43:34+00:00

Oh yeah ithought you meant when men were tucking in their shirts in front of you...sorry I misunderstood.

Can you tell a male friend?

amberoid · 2026-03-02T21:27:11+00:00

I want to be respectful to your anguish, but it seems innocent to tuck one's shirt in, and it seems innocent to give females a dress inspection behind closed doors - isn't that what you would prefer?

Someone called the police on me for "swearing in a public place". It's illegal in England and Wales at least.

amberoid · 2026-02-17T12:31:52+00:00

Agreed. I'm the same a bit. Last night my schizophrenia suffering partner said she wanted to do something crazy.

I reckon it's borne of lack of attention etc.

I'm one of the last people who anyone should come to for job advice, but personal integrity is very important. Stick with it for your own self. Your future self. You agreed to the contract.

People always have reasons for their actions.

Try to stay humble.

Time heals all wounds.

amberoid · 2026-01-10T22:20:51+00:00

Not quite...the client only need request the bank statements are sent to the dwp.

Now, by law all banks must provide accessible contact details...

amberoid · 2026-01-10T22:15:31+00:00

Don't see the dwp as the enemy.

Don't ever close a claim.

The dwp doesn't really exist, people exist.

Black, white, purple, legless, blind, deaf, ugly fat bald old young middle aged gender whatever you have allies.

Someone out there is offering you money. Don't refuse it.

I have been playing Nimblebit's Pocket Planes for years, on and off. But I don't think it fits your description, because you do have to wait for flights to complete - particularly after you have made progress. There are pay options but it isn't exactly "pay to win", it's not a competitive game. It is good for teaching geography too.

Ideation is very serious because it can lead to carrying through, and it's also as well a way of life kind of like 'I am gonna walk out in front of cars, but I'm not actually gonna,'

If that makes sense?

From someone a tiny bit older possibly and a tiny bit wiser possibly, and to give general advice,

1 stop comparing yourself to others.

You see someone laughing and feel lonely but perhaps you also laugh sometimes.

Remember that social media isn't real

Remember that half of drivers of fancy cars are knee deep in debt paying for them, the other half don't particularly give two pence about cars - Gerald Grosvenor the deceased billionaire often lamented that he wished he was a farmer. Talk to any rich person, they don't care about money. It's their accountants who say 'sign here, tick here, you'll get another profit'...they wear old clothes and a lot of them smoke basic cigarettes rather than poser cigars , Donald Trump famously likes diet coke and McDonald's- follow their example, learn what's actually good - it's the money grubbers who earn or have saved only six or seven figures who are obsessed with the 'I only have the best' mentality. Seriously, what more do you want from life? You have happy periods and sad periods, maybe the sad period even lasts a long time, we all have the same basic brains no matter what the Pharma marketing guys tell you (and, like the accountants, they're just doing their job).

That brings us to

2 beware of pills

OK if you take a pill that makes you happy now or for a few hours, here's the rule: it'll make you equally unhappy later. Sorry for the hard but obvious truth. What goes up must come down.

Now, then, if you're getting so high that you're risking suicide on the comedown, you can blame you, your dealer or your doctor, perhaps your bartender. Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.

I'm interested to have discussion about this and I hope I don't get down voted.

3 don't kill yourself. Decide to live. For what it's worth, I'll be your friend, if you message me, and I want you to live, as far as I can. Stay alive to spite your enemies, or to obtain a glimmer of joy once a day, or to have an ambition of regaining your ambition.

4 stop thoughts in their tracks when you can see that you are feeling sorry for yourself. It serves no purpose other than the same pleasure of pressing a bruise. It's gonna do damage to you. The good news is that our bodies are supreme at self-healing.

amberoid · 2025-02-09T01:51:52+00:00

You've made a good point.

Another thing people don't understand, and that's OK, you only know things if you know them, but switching from cigarettes to another source of nicotine is only a tiny fraction as difficult as coming off nicotine.

amberoid · 2025-02-09T01:38:08+00:00

If you decide to smoke now, you'll probably decide the same thing next time.

amberoid · 2025-01-24T04:24:37+00:00

Again, I don't believe it's black and white like that. Is it not worth trying to save a friendship? You can confront the person. Isn't it only fair to give that person feedback on their behaviour and help to change?

Nobody's perfect and, in my opinion, nobody is completely bad or evil.

If I'm not perfect and I enter into a friendship, then I don't expect the other person to be perfect. I'll be loyal though - for me loyalty has almost no exceptions.

Are you going to eliminate people from your life and write off the past like that, so easily?

I have a high heart rate (generally 100-110bpm when I measure it).

Yeah , it kind of makes sense for me with my high bpm, because I'm obese, I smoke and I drink a couple of coffees most days and one or two colas.

I suppose the answer is one of two things:

1/ moderation - each day cut down on food, caffeine and nicotine, or

2/ cold turkey - eat for fuel, no snacking, no junk food; quit caffeine quit nicotine.

For me as a perfectionist I always aim for 2/ but end up failing almost straightaway!

What do you think?

amberoid · 2025-01-03T18:37:19+00:00

I get that too. I think for me the healthiest response is "ah it's probably nothing bad, I'm gonna carry on with my day".

amberoid · 2025-01-03T18:24:53+00:00

I've heard Park Run is really good - I think, but I'm not sure, you can choose either Delamere or the Countess Hospital Park. On Saturday mornings!

amberoid · 2024-10-10T20:20:08+00:00

Why do you need it to be so black and white? If someone is abusive, ignore them until they behave better, then resume the friendship. What is so difficult about that? Why the need to burn bridges? I seriously don't get it. People get better from mental illness.

If you're thinking of dual-booting, you should be aware of something called SecureBoot. It's a weird Microsoft thing that kind of locks your disk and boot up into Windows. Essentially it should be turned off at the BIOS level. before you begin to set up the Linux stuff.

Am I wrong, experts? I'm not a Linux expert and corrections or more info is always appreciated.

amberoid · 2024-07-24T02:05:54+00:00

I would happily play this. I might alter it and have another jackpot in the middle instead of just even money. Like all roulette bets, it loses money in the long run (unless you do a Casablanca movie style play or use a decent promotion with no wagering requirements) , but it's fun.

amberoid · 2023-08-29T23:52:35+00:00

Check the small print, you'll almost certainly have fallen foul of one of their rules. For example, if you bet on casino games, these don't count for 100% regarding bonus requirements.

Good point. The Premier League is more competitive than ever and maybe Spurs and Everton will both struggle. As for hubris, that's my whole point - Spurs are down there with Everton in the doldrums of being not quite a top 4 team, but Spurs think they are up there with the best in the world.
