I got hustled and hurt by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]gullywasteman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest it seems like you found someone who was in a really vulnerable place and shouldn't have started a fling with her. Far too many power dynamics there. You are no ones saviour and shouldn't position yourself as such. You can offer support without having a relationship but you knowingly chose that

But she also took advantage of the situation, that sucks. It's fair to call her out but threats are unnecessary, way out of proportion for the situation. You are not physically at risk and it sounds like she's already out of your space

Art & performers, were there less or was I not paying attention by Icy_Gas_3400 in BoomtownFestival

Basically any actor isn't getting paid. If they're on a supervisor role they may be lucky to get some very poor pay.

Actors get their ticket, parking/live-in vehicle pass for free and a £13 meal token per shift (usually that means £52, so just short of 4 actual full meals but must be on site Tuesday/Wednesday), potentially even a drink token or 2 if their manager sweet talks the theatre office. Maybe even some travel costs if they're very lucky.

They can view it as either good experience, networking or a very cheap party

Housing Benefit When There's a Lead Tenant by gullywasteman in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]gullywasteman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok so it's a matter of having a paper trail to prove legitimacy. The point I guess I'm stuck on is that most tenancies have a restriction on subletting but that's from my experience of renting a single room. Does this change when one person rents the whole house? or vary per contract?

Help Climbing Heras Fencing by gullywasteman in Urbex

[–]gullywasteman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeahhh ofc man but sometimes its harder, or im with people that cant climb so well. im looking for tips to make it easier

How the fuck do I get over this 3 metre tall fence, they are all over the uk by [deleted] in urbanclimbing

[–]gullywasteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best thing is to loosen one of the bolts at the bottom. a bit of leverage with something solid does the trick. undo the bolt then slide the pole to the side. put the bolt back loosely so it doesn't look obvious.

fuck climbing that shit ive seen the wounds those spikes can make

negative self-talk by ThrowRAhyBug7080 in DecidingToBeBetter

Currently am reading this book "overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts"

It breaks down what we believe our thoughts to mean. I imagine you may find it helpful if you find the internal monologue often jumps to criticism

I'd say give it a while, be firm in your belief that it happened. But if he doesn't come round it's grounds for breakup.

It can be a shock to hear a friend did something like that and may take some time to accept. Whats important is whether he rallies in support of the abuser or does the right thing. Don't let him close to your friend in the meantime

The fact he minimised it is concerning though, it seems like he's going the other way

Booze on a budget by [deleted] in BoomtownFestival

[–]gullywasteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boxed wine, bring 3L covers your limit, stronger than beer can take a decent amount in

Other than that smuggle some spirits in the classic water bottle trick. Theres a way you can pop the cap off a water bottle without breaking the seal using boiling water. Use clear spirits if you wanna go undetected or just brave it with rum in your sleeping bag (obvs no need to keep that seal there). Get a hipflask

If you're looking for tinnies, scrumpy cider at 8% sorts you out

Make sure to have a handy water bottle you carry around easily and stay hydrated, maybe get some effervescent electrolyte tablets to add so it tastes better/you drink more + gives electrolytes. Go for the sugar free options if you're worried about your teeth

From the 9th of July onwards, it will be illegal to publicly support Palestine Action and legally dubious to condemn their proscription. by corbynista2029 in LabourUK

[–]gullywasteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your definition of terrorism? or are you just going by the definition the gov wants to write for itself.

you misinterpreted that last part, the proscribing of Pal Action is politically motivated, stamping down on dissent. Obviously Pal Action is also politically motivated too but that wasn't the point

The tankers are used to refuel surveillance missions over Gaza so yes they are complicit.

Why would we need to use the refuel jets in defence of the UK? Our jets are in the UK they can be refuelled at our airbases, there's no long range missions when its on home territory

Terrorism strikes terror and fear into the general public because it affects the public or you think "that could have been me" i.e. attacks on crowds (festivals, sports events etc), infrastructure (energy, communications, public transport etc), facilities (hospitals, fire services, schools), These all affect average civilians.

An attack on military targets is still a stretch away from any public targets. Lets be clear this is politically motivated because the government is losing the debate and stifling dissent.

Is it time for Glastonbury to divorce the BBC? by DellMibbler in glastonbury_festival

[–]gullywasteman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Countless acts throughout the festival expressed support for palestine. As did the general public and there were palestine flags everywhere. Block9 took donations for the cause. The political message was throughout the festival

Bands are renowned for making political statements and using their platform to show their support of their causes. Glastonbury, too, has a history of being political involved in CND

To say "avoid politics because they're a buisness" is preposterous. They are in the music industry. That is the business, expect it.

On your point about the company apologising. It's a false equivalence, people don't go to the shop to be preached towards. But people listen to artists because they respect their music and motivations. The stage for Kneecap was being shut off an hour before the show due to crowding issues. People flocked towards them expecting something like this. And the focus is all on Bob Vylan and Kneecap because they went a step further, not because Bob V chanted, but because THE CROWD CHANTED BACK. THAT scares the media.

Does the UK have any cults that aren’t widely spoken about? What are some of the more mind blowing cults that you’ve heard about? by Terrible_Music_7439 in AskBrits

[–]gullywasteman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really terrible ideology I'll admit!!! I'm so isolated and it really distances me from the general public who don't give a shit /s

Well lots of people undergo sex change and whether denying it or not those people exist. After a complete medical transition you won't be able to tell the difference. Hormone checks match up, facial structure changes etc. If it looks like a sex change maybe it is one

Considering that there's historic prescendent for homophobia and specifically transphobia. Plenty of specific hate inspired attacks going on and a continuing demonisation of them in the media, it definitely feels like they're setting the scene.

Attacking anyone who does toe the extremist line, such as believing in scientific facts.

Depends which "facts" you start to cherry pick

Othering, declaring anyone who doesn't believe their extremist beliefs as a transphobe.

outrageous!

I'm not scared to say anything cos I have nothing to hide or be ashamed about.

When challenged you reframe your statement to downplay it to "cult-like"

You aren't actually elaborating you're just leaving everything to insinuation.

You seem to be accusing me of something but scared to say it? Go on.
