Oh boy, you're getting into British Panel shows? Good luck mate, we've got 100s of hours pirated and uploaded to YouTube because the BBC has been shite at making money off the distribution of media. They've gotten better recently but Channel 4 is the gold standard for digital distribution.

Fair enough statement about some of the comments here, but at least the original poster in the screenshot is taking it in good stride like you're supposed to with a polite rejection.

It's an income stream and therefore taxable (above a certain threshold). As it's from self-employment you have to either file these earnings yourself or pay an accountant to do it for you.

Yeah and as much as we all hate having to interact with these absolute chuds, the most successful ways of deprogramming people have been through empathetic outreach.

If these MAGA chuds experience the boot of fascism first hand, that might open them up to listening to people from other groups that have had to deal with this kind of treatment for much longer.

It's a slow process, a metric fuck ton of emotional labour, and not everyone is willing to do that work, which is understandable given that you'll be competing against the whole outrage media and "attention economy".

But if enough of us are willing then through genuine human connection, which everyone but a very minute actual clinically psychopathic portion of the population is so desperate for, can get these chuds to open their eyes and grow a little more empathetic.

Now that's a loop-de-loop!

 

This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.

 

This isn't your mother's cottage pie, this is an epic two and a half hour culinary quest to conjure the most tastiest comfort humanity has discovered so far.

The pie is layered with beef or veggie mince, then crispy onions soaked with garlic, tomato, and chilli puree, butter soaked mixed vegetables, slathered in a vegetable and red wine gravy, and topped with a cheesy and creamy smooth potato and carrot mash.

My aunt and uncle now lie in a food coma whilst I have shed a single solitary manly tear as I fear this might be my peak, though I will never stop climbing to greater heights of taste!

Title picture shows a large beef mince portion for myself and my uncle. The picture in the body text below shows a small meat-free portion for my aunt.
