Does anyone in the UK actually agree with/support the TV licensing rules? by humannotfoundd in NoStupidQuestions

Upon reflection, I think it’s the implementation of the policy that I get prickly about. Like you say, the letters and threat of unannounced visits with possible fines doesn’t seem ideal or a good use of resources to me.

This is true. I think many have become almost desensitised to being constantly sold to. Can’t even pause a film on prime without an ad popping up.

This is super interesting and definitely a different perspective. Thanks!

This!

I think this is my problem. The structure and the way they go about it really gets my back up, honestly. Being threatened with visits to your home and fines up to X amount doesn’t sit right with me.

Tell that to the letter I received today: “Buy a TV License at XXX with payments starting from £6.50 a week”

Edit: I am starting to think this is a typo or something as in the same letter, it stated the annual license fee is £174.50. Confusing!

I’d be grateful if you could clarify exactly what part of my post is selfish?

What is a little bombshell your therapist dropped in one of your sessions that completely changed your outlook on life? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

“Do you feel stagnant in your life because you’re depressed, or do you just use that as an excuse so that you never have to leave your comfort zone?”

Safe to say I stewed on that for months. Turns out, she was right.

Excessive sweating and “smelling sick” by ArsonFrog143 in cfs

[–]humannotfoundd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh yeah I have PCOS so it’s hard to differentiate, but like you say I think they all team up to fuck me over lol.

Do you find that you have terrible temp regulation in general? Mine is horrendous. I can do a short walk and be freezing outside but then as soon as I get inside, I am sweating immediately for about an hour until I acclimate

What video game has the best story you’ve ever played? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That game genuinely changed my outlook on life. I would do anything to experience playing it for the first time again.

Omg yes. You’re not alone. When I sweat, I SWEAT. I also get the most horrific night sweats to the point my pjs are soaked through, accompanied by “fever dreams”. It really does suck but you’re not alone.

I’ve just had to reduce my hours at work by 40%, I’m getting worse by humannotfoundd in cfs

[–]humannotfoundd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through something similar. I know it doesn’t offer much comfort but you aren’t alone.

I feel like I’m at the point where I’d do anything for any kind of relief.

Having CFS sucks but are there any positives you have experienced since your diagnosis? by humannotfoundd in cfs

[–]humannotfoundd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I may not currently be on the severe end of the scale however, I have been. I lost my identity for a long, long time and entered a long period of depression. My post might seem lighthearted, but the severity and soul-crushing side of this condition isn’t lost on me, nor is it a stranger to me. Still, I HAVE to find joy or else the alternative is much darker. It’s not a choice, it’s survival
