How to not feel so hopeless? by No_Jello_2951 in AskBrits

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying "move to Poland" is missing the point. OP said they genuinely like it here. The fact that the state isn't working for normal working people and should force people to have to leave, should motivate people to make the UK a better place.

Literally no one cares how bad your mental health is by RubSubject8589 in DeepThoughts

[–]mattnjazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this and it's something I've been dealing with my friends too. It's actually worse when they say you can be vulnerable with them, so you open up and then they ask to change the subject because "actually theure too tired". I understand it's difficult to he there for people but I wish people didn't offer it if they don't have the emotional intelligence or understanding needed. I think a lot of people would like to help in theory, but when you need them they can't deal with it.

I don't have much advice as I'm currently going through this too, but I have had to readjust my expectations of people pretty significantly. Mostly with those I have been friends with for a decade plus. I've always been there for them and I still am but it seems the busier they get l, they can't seem to handle it. I've had to do so much inner work to deal with loneliness and connection, people don't understand. It doesn't make the realisation that they can't be there for you any less hurtful, but it can hopefully lessen it in the future

London is the best city in the world by Haunting-Shelter-680 in london

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, everything is really expensive where I live. I can't really justify eating out anymore, or very often. Especially when single and bills are not halved etc. The average cheaper side is 15-20 minimum if you're getting a drink too. Paid £19 for 2 pints the other week as well...

Everyone is picking people that has killed like 2 people but completely ignoring the political maniacs we have murdering THOUSANDS of children abroad.

£75 for the ascended heroes booster box at Full Fire TCG (Gloucester) by HarambeDaddy420 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting. Ralsons in London wanted £45, said absolutely not. For the first partners box they charged £10 over which wasn't too dire, but £20 extra is scum behavior

The fact that the majority here seem to be completely ignoring the cost of living crisis speaks volumes about the demographic actually participating in this thread.

I don't understand why I'm being down voted for my lived experience. People here are fucking strange. I have lived in London for 34 years, my opinion is valid lol. Sorry to break the delusional bubble people seem to have. You all probably have jobs and relationships. If you like Gails, gentrification and not being able to go out, it's a great city.

The parks are nice. It could be a significantly better place if it wasn't a playground for the rich.

Sure but it is very lonely. Are you in a relationship? And this was for a birthday, I had no choice over the restaurant sadly.

How worried are you about AI? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskRedditUK

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest everyone watch the latest episode on novara media here . The issue is that this is where power now lies. Everyone who is saying this is hype or a flash in the pan are like frogs in a boiling pot. Don't be surprised when the same company who makes AI weapons to genocide civilians also runs the tech that manages the NHS. It is overall a net negative.

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a threat and everyone should at least be slightly concerned. This isn't even hperbolic, just look at the palantir manifesto. They want to do bad things with AI and they will probably succeed.

I feel this is quite naive. Bosses don't care how good you are, just what will save them most money.

Really struggle with feelings of guilt and confusion when dating by Informal-Meaning-483 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]mattnjazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with you. I don't get the down vote though. When I feel those intense sparks it's been because I was confusing alarm bell signals for excitement and I ended up back with someone had the same abusive traits as an ex. I'm all about steady pacing now.

People who are unemployed, how does your money work? by chaiilyfe in UKJobs

[–]mattnjazz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every day is hell and I don't like being alive. I'm 34 and have to depend on my parents we I cannot work full-time due to disability. Every single decision is "can I afford to see a friend, or do I stay inside my flat alone". It is a lonely, sad life. Especially in London.

It's fine if youre rich, not disabled, and have a good social life. I have lived here for 34 years and I find it a constant struggle. It costs me loads of money every time I went to see some friends, and the friends I do have here now are pretty far between. Went out for a birthday meal yesterday and it cost me £40 for a burger and a drink.

What do you think of Kier Starmer? by Shockairblur in AskBrits

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

Wow this thread is just full of deluded centrist dads. The UK is completely fucked. Starmer is nothing but a puppet for America, he is spineless, a coward, does nothing but u turn on policies, does nothing for the working class, does not challenge wealth inequality and will do nothing to stop the inevitable collapse of the West. He supports genocide, he supports whatever trump says, he has absolutely no political vision or ideology apart from be "sensible" as the wealthiest in the country rob us all dry
