If you're in the UK you could also win 4 VIP tickets! Its a really wonderful festival, not explicitly political but lots of very political lefty groups and it's very inclusive

they call me a gooner just for noticing similarities to niche porn stars by facial structure alone

is it like a rule that conservatives have to look off-putting? like these two people i'm pretty sure looked fairly normal before, but it's like in order to fit in they got work done just to ensure they are not nice to look at

 

Hi fashionbears, found a sweet pair of burberry trousers in a thrift shop. The stitching around the waist is unbearable though. How can I soften it easily? I'm thinking vinegar soak, any other suggestions?

Google seems useless these days, even putting 'reddit' didn't get me much

No worries! It's really heartening (who even knew that was a word) to know that you were even thinking of me to be honest. I like to think that energy helped keep me safe meow-hug

Yeah it was a massive relief when I found out I was fine legally, then boom bailiff letters and spam calls 🙃 not fun

 

Skip to the end if you don't care about the update:

Long story long with a lot of extra detail since the ordeal is basically over now:

I was illegally detained and searched by security while working at a festival. The security were blatantly corrupt, having broken into our camp and stolen things multiple times in the first two nights alone. Security claimed I had substances and a burner but the police dropped the entire investigation for multiple reasons (basically they had nothing to go off of but the word of security who had also stolen everything my partner and I brought to the festival - roughly £600 of camping gear and clothes. At the time I felt utterly powerless and like my life had ended in the whim of some undertrained removed.

The funny thing is I never really had any of the stuff security said I did - at most you could say I confiscated it from some kid who was shitting himself because I caught him with it. I was going to try to turn it in without getting them into trouble but the moment they saw me with a bag and a phone, possibly because I'm brown, they decided that I must be a dealer.

But I was incredibly lucky with the sergeant, she was genuinely quite understanding, seemed to believe me, also had ADHD which may have helped as well as me being in a long term relationship with an okay job. The duty solicitor did an excellent job as well although she was unbelievably busy so contact was few and far between. I got away essentially scot free ( as I should have, I genuinely didn't do anything wrong lol)

Thanks to the help of you generous lot and the most based comrade I know IRL, I was able to just about cover rent while I was waiting for a new job to start.

Unfortunately the job offer was retracted, thanks to a misleading reference given out by the one of the most evil banks in the UK (it rhymes with Sharklays - put a .co.uk on the end of that to find out more). It was hell to work there (I was frontline customer service, not doing evil investments don't worry), the employee turnover was insane - we were short staffed by about 750 in our department alone. So we were doing over twice as much work as we were supposed to - oh but the do-nothing, clueless-about-the-role, check-emails-and-go-to-pointless-meetings-micromanagers were "really grateful" for all the work (just not in anyway that paid us for doing two people's work). And to top it off the CEO was an Epstein client.

So yeah after working there for a year, being a top performer, experiencing intense mania followed by a massive breakdown due to the stress and then getting a disciplinary investigation for "call avoidance" (my system had been set up incorrectly from day one and there was calls I literally could not take because of this), I left for my not-quite-dream but definitely interesting and chill office job for an actual half decent company. Only for shitty Barclays to lie in the reference and say that I left mid disciplinary, which despite emails showing I didn't do and their own policy saying it shouldn't have been on my record, I can't take them to court without spending a load of money. But that will have to come another time because I've still got bigger fish to fry right now.

I'm still asking for money though, don't you worry! I just need a little bit of help paying off the debts I accrued while unable to work. Rent is fine and basically covered I'm very behind on bills and debt payments so bailiffs are looking to take possessions if I don't pay soon, which would probably be my pc which I need for work stuff.

Every little helps if you can and it's seriously much appreciated. One day once my feet are fully back under me (hopefully soon, I'm actually really loving this new job) I will be able to pay people back and/or pay it forward here.

I will likely repost this in a month or two if that's within the rules

Tl;dr life still a bit fucked, could I borrow some money please mum/dad/glucose guardian??

 

Been seeing a lot of libs say they can't trust the NYT and mainstream news any more but I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to not trust them already. Recent or historical examples

wow, this is so good and based. you are cool and your friend who posted your video must be too

 

My IRL friend's first Youtube video. He has a lot more cool stuff coming - a series on critical thinking, stuff on propaganda (ie how Reddit is full of it) and more. Any support you show is hugely appreciated.

Obviously most apps are stealing your data but people's reactions to Temu are literally insane. They have a thing where they'll literally paypal you £20-£40 to refer other users, I was 1 referral away and 2 friends wouldn't download it because it's Chinese. Another two friends said that people they know had money stolen by it... like, legality and possibility aside yes, I'm sure Pinduoduo, one of the BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD needs to steal your last tenner

"a ton of sources" yes, but is there actually any evidence? no. there you go.

OPs title and this comment exactly describe my friend haha

Ah just missed you! Shame

 

As a result of some major bs and my own mistakes, I've found myself in a really shitty situation that might basically be the start of the end of my life.

After being honest about my predicament with my work, they chose to fire me, so I'm going to be short on rent for a while since benefits barely cover it. I've got another job lined up but it doesn't start for a little while, and also I may go to prison. So if that happens I'd like to be able to leave my partner enough money to pay rent with.

I'd rather not discuss the details on a public forum but I can clarify the situation in private chats.

This is the part where I ask for money. I didn't want to but I don't see any way out of this, and unfortunately I just don't have the money to cover rent, living, and possible solicitor fees (anyone know a good criminal defence solicitor in North England?)

My cashapp is £tongzhi and you can transfer from an American account with no fees. If you don't have cashapp but would like to help DM me. Depending on how things pan out I should be able to pay it back once things blow over, best case scenario by the end of this year.

I truly appreciate any support and kind messages. Thanks friends.

 

Thought it would be a case of removing the CMOS battery. Apparently these shits don't have that. Any ideas?
