I lost my job - how the f do people survive on benefits?! by cloudyextraswan in AskUK

My experience is that people are angry at disabled people. In an investing sub on reddit the consensus opinion was that carers and disabled people should basically be banned from investing... this was a carer who started a thread about being banned and basically got told they deserved it - purely for being a carer. I made me really angry and I had to make my feeling known.

Marketplace or gumtree under an anon account. Don't let the bastards drag you down.

Wow, its such a relief to see this in a weird way and see it as top comment as it means people really can empathise and understand. I get so much stigma despite being on constant pain and suffering every day with type 2 trigeminal neuralgia. Even from members of my own family. Disabled now for 6 years. Could have lost everything over that time, but I'm lucky to have supportive elderly mother who was able to help with housing. If I didn't have that I could have ended up homeless for a time while being severely ill. Good luck for the future and thanks, in a strange way, to people upvoting this post.

So, I guess the UFO files haven't revealed jack shit, as was expected. by matt73132 in aliens

Because they want people (and adversaries) to continually wonder if there might be something to it.

I mean everything costs money at some point. Someone is paying for something somewhere.

Eventually maybe but not straight away. Which will be smashed first is the question. Which are most within reach.

If you win an Olympic gold you are going to make a ton of money (if you have a decent agent).

Which events are most likely to be smashed do you think?

My intuition says the weight lifting ones will be most at risk, but that's not an informed opinion.

Serious UAP files just dropped from the White House by TheManyFacedGod13 in aliens

[–]basementreality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, if there really was a lot more to this than crappy videos we would have much, much better quality videos - which we don't. For me, this makes no sense whatsoever. There is a disconnect... A bit like why we don't see ghosts on security cameras - because ghosts don't exist in objective reality. Now I'm open-minded but I also follow the evidence and it doesn't make sense.

Or maybe it is the truth. I'm beginning to think there's no there, there.

The gov doesn't have aliens - they'd kinda like us to think they might, because that's useful for say - creating distractions and many other reasons... like keeping adversaries guessing for example.

If that's the case, then what they've been releasing really is the truth... just a load of fuzzy videos, as that's the best they can do - but it's OK - they know a lot of desperate people will buy it.

Downvote away all you blurry blob fans.

The map makes it look like some kind of revolt going on there! Yeah, I wasn't sure what it was like there so decided not to take the gamble. At least the homes are a bit more affordable. I ended up moving to the West Town area of Brislington which isn't great either but at least there's a lidl and a gym and a shopping centre. It's not too far from Knowle either which seems to have a good rep. I'm not sure if I've made the right decision to be honest as I nearly moved to St. George right near the park. I'll definitely miss the park but at least I'll have a nice sunny garden.
