Kinda yeah, but I was still able to buy it with only £10k down, my mortgage is only £350/month, and I've repainted the place to suit my taste and cut out a wall to make space for a washing machine (I put a dishwasher in the kitchen instead). Not saying it's for everyone, but it worked for me 🤷

There are still cheap places to live all over England and Scotland - I bought a 1 bedroom flat with small garden for £90k in Peterborough (a smaller city about an hour north of London) 3 years ago, and the garden has enough space for a few raised beds with vegetables in them

I interpreted it as "can't possibly be doing harm to the people in the video" - eg as much of mainstream porn can do - since there are none if everything is animated fiction

Please share with the class

I agree and that rise saddens me, but in Europe, I still generally have confidence that the majority of countries' populations respect general decency, human rights and lack of corruption enough to keep the hate and greed mostly at bay. In the US, it's now long past hope - the corruption runs so deep, so broadly that it's taken over, and that means the country is doomed to be somewhere I never wanna live.

There isn't even "justice" for cis white men though - justice in the USA barely even exists any more. The greed and corruption runs so deep that the supreme court are all bribed or heavily biased, so I have no confidence whatsoever in the judicial system.

I'm a cis white man, and I'm working to get myself the hell out of this utterly fucked country as soon as I can because everybody in power is blatantly corrupt and there are no functional checks and balances any more.

It takes years even if you're legal. If you've committed any kind of crime, including working or being here illegally without a visa, you'll get denied

When I see a cheeto on the floor, there is always a demon voice in my head telling me to stomp it with my foot

Who the fuck is Julie?? I'm so confused

Do you like fishsticks?

Same, my favourite thing recently is when the caller is an AI, I just get a voicemail of the darker AI taking to my pixel's on device AI for 30 seconds

Fair, I regret my comment - was a dumb joke in response to the last line of this wall of text (which I'm guessing was a joke)
