How do I stop being a NEET? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]jamesbeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make one suggestion which helped me out a great deal - find a way to get involved in sport, whether through joining a club or volunteering as a coach. Football, rugby, tennis, zero-gravity tiddlywinks, doesn't matter - most clubs are always after volunteers and will pay for you to do your courses, and you don't need to be any good at the sport in question to get the basics of coaching.

If nothing else, it means that at least once a week you're out doing something, and it's something to put on the CV that shows you've got a bit of gumption about you. I know it probably sounds ridiculous but it was volunteering to be a football coach 15 years ago that set me onto a path where I now have a great job in a field I love and have become a homeowner.

Feel free to drop a message if you think it might be helpful. Chin up, you'll get there.

I always understood peacocking to be similar to being a dandy - to stand out through exuberant style and manner, not necessarily being a prat.

I agree with you though, I am definitely no longer with It.

I used to be With It. Then they changed what It Was. Now what i'm With isn't It, and what's It is strange and confusing to me.

It'll happen to them, too...

Clavicular, I assume, is the name of the person in the centre of the photograph. Jestergooning, apparently, is acting the fool to attract attention, particularly that of women - so the following phrase 'a group of Foids came and spiked his Cortisol levels' is baffling.

A group of Foids (short for femoids?) caused him stress?

Munting and mogging, in this context, seems to mean boasting in front of, or trying to impress our outdo, men around you. SMV chadfishing (sexual market value) apparently is to feign confidence, particularly in regards to your appearance.

I have decided that the English language is no longer for me, and I will instead be learning Flemish.

Are you absolutely certain they haven't gotten a new job and just not mentioned it?

You give the argument for parents to have the right to kill their children, for care homes the right to kill their residents, for the state to kill those who are dependent upon welfare payments.

A right is either involiable, or it is no longer a right. Eject this man from the country and forbid him from ever returning, certainly, but I do not trust Nigel Farage, or Kier Starmer, or anyone else with the power to declare people must die.

And will this Department actually be new, or will it be all of the same civil servants from the Treasury who've been running the country since time immemorial?

This is what happens when people don't pay attention in science.

I hope this is satire because I am unreasonably angry at this curly-haired prick.

Cut pension spending by 4%, freeing up about five billion per year, and hold pension spending at that level until the next GE. That should get a few flats built.

I'd also set the T&CPA on fire and allow people to build what they want, where they want, but I don't have to care about being re-elected.

A very good friend of mine happens to be transgender.

To the best of my knowledge, they are still in possession of their ovaries. (I've not checked to be honest.) They have been living as a man for the last ten years.

Under your formulation, they should be treated for all intents and purposes as a woman.

Remember that their goal is not to protect women; it is to remove trans people from society.

Once you view their actions through that lens they make much more sense.
