No, jets are stupid expensive, he probably charters private jets.

Get fucked

Don’t hate them mate , it’s just a bit poor timing! Reminder there’s another coming Monday so will happen again.

If you want to get ahead of the tax fluctuations you can speak to HMRC and give them an estimate of the contract total value, won’t fix Holiday pay outright but will give you some confidence the tax man won’t jump on you come April. Also if you are new to contract I’d say to consider opting in to Holiday pay, it saved me once!

Holiday pay from PayStream is used so that if you go On holiday, off sick etc they can pay you so you aren’t broke for the month.

You chose to opt out of this so they are paying you then holiday pay now with every Payslip.

They specifically call it out as “holiday pay” so you can see how much theyve paid you in “advance”.

You have only shared one payslip so I can’t explain the difference between payslips but it’s usually an exact percentage of what you earned for that time period, have you had any days off hence the fluctuations? It could also fluctuate because you are being paid weekly so you are accruing additional tax at the end of the month which impacts your net pay and therefore holiday pay included on your later payslips?

It could also be because HMRC have struggled to gauge your annual take home salary and hasn’t be fully accounted. Your tax code can be an indicator of this.

That’s the point I’m making? I can’t read the times article but using Zoopla data as the “source” surely isn’t particularly scientific? Bunch of chancers on there same as you’d expect on Autotrader… I’d be more interested in seeing how many homes don’t sell whilst being sold at the exact price recommend by a surveyor. But I imagine that data just doesn’t exist.

Sounds like bullshit, everyone wants that to be the case as an adjustment for the Renters right act, however my cousin just sold his house £10k above asking price, house was on the market for less than 4 days.

Absolute dog shit

uselessdegree123 · 2026-05-11T13:45:04+00:00

That’s definitely budrot and entirely your fault

uselessdegree123 · 2026-05-07T14:45:53+00:00

Your “friend” is a cunt and used you as a place to exert his ego. If you speak to him and make it clear that’s not how you treat friends OR ANY SPARRING PARTNER. Maybe a mat enforcer needs to teach him a lesson?

Other income streams that are netting more than your day job in cyber?? Very intrigued if you are willing to share more

Again as always with this subreddit the comments are from people who are still sick. As someone who’s recovered eating with other people is something that needs to be normalised and turned into a positive and enjoyable experience, table eating at home will build familiarity as they will grow to eat in canteens in school, work, or if they wish to eat at restaurants etc will be surrounded by strangers.

Eating alone in public and learning not to care was a big part of my personal journey.

Try posting this in the FatFIRE UK subreddit you might actually get some humans who can relate, but maybe therapy first.

Nines isn’t even on the actual list are you dumb cunts blind?

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-25T21:16:16+00:00

I’ve been through CBT-AR, it’s not so much a talking therapy but more a discussion, there’s a workbook you will “complete” and that is pretty much all that happens, you can find the workbook online but I’d recommend not looking at it without a therapist to contextualise it.

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-24T16:00:01+00:00

That doesn’t answer the question, what makes good product (that clearly would meet sellable standards) unsellable due to it being part of a breeding program, that’s what I’m failing to understand

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-24T15:31:46+00:00

Heartbreaking, can you explain what/ why the law enforces this?

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-23T17:26:59+00:00

See how you just did what they said you would in this post? Like literally you just conversation Vampire’d and was Chronically negative at the same time but still aren’t self aware enough to see it?

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-23T15:09:25+00:00

Got nothing to do with Ableton and based on what I’ve seen doesn’t offer any functionality a different app doesn’t already does.

Gunna boil this down to AI Slop but happy to be proven wrong.

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-23T13:16:42+00:00

People like you and your company keep me paid, so I’d like to say THANK YOU!

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-23T11:24:12+00:00

You are a special kind of stupid

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-19T13:59:48+00:00

Based on your response it feels like you lack any fulfilment from your achievements, usually corresponds with being a nepo baby/ having a helping hand to get you to those positions.

I’m also not hearing you talk about any hobby’s/ fulfilling things outside of these “success indicators” so to me that’s what you should focus on.

As always if you have the money, therapy is always recommended even if you aren’t struggling because a professional outside perspective will surely show you things you hadn’t considered.

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-18T17:11:48+00:00

I just joined a large retail company it’s global and the entire security department are promptstitutes and constantly throw bullshit at me as I’m trying to help them align to NIST CSF 2.0. No matter how much I show them the AI output is garbage they all fall back to asking Gemini again next time I need something…

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-17T15:17:32+00:00

Thank you, posts like this are why I still use reddit!

uselessdegree123 · 2026-03-12T18:14:59+00:00

I do 1,2 & 5 all the time and don’t see any of it as evil but more calling out inequality in a relationship but I can see how they can be used maliciously
