• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Being in the Scottish area of the UK, I can live in hope that some day one of our former First Ministers may be a convicted felon.

What's sad is that his advice doesn't sound all that different from my therapists. They kept telling me to exercise more, pick up new hobbies, or anything else they could think up to keep me busy. What they neglected to consider was that I might have bipolar disorder, so none of that shit helped at all.

I can see a grain of truth to what he's saying. For some people in certain circumstances, work can help aleviate depression. I haven't been able to work for a year now and it makes me extremely depressed. It's helpful when you have a good job at least. I miss the social connections, having a good income, solving interesting and meaningful problems, the social status of being employed, and all kinds of other benefits that came with jobs.

What Trump seems to be ignoring is that he has an insanely stimulating and highly paid job. It's not for everybody, but clearly he's doing something he loves. Flying around the world on private jets in order to meet people at expensive restaurants to talk and make deals is thrilling for someone like him. I've done business meetings at high end locations around the US and it's so fun it can be addictive. It doesn't feel like work. I bet the amount of endorphins in Donald Trump's brain is probably equivalent to doing low doses of meth and fentanyl on a daily basis.

The fact that other people don't have such rewarding jobs, and don't have access to them isn't something Donald Trump would care about. All he cares about is getting his dopamine hits from narcissism and greed.

There is SOME merit to it, but you can't just pretend to know pyschiatry and because your president, give some propaganda bs response.

Shit advice but he's close. So close. Distractions in general are quite effective.

I'm not into politics as I understand all parties are corrupt liars. But speaking of the UK holy smokes they've still got a royal family. As much as they pride themselves in being better than the US I can't, just barely can believe they're so far behind the times that they support a wealthy royal family and gives them massive tax breaks on top of it.

Having seen our UK politicians, (some fairly close up) having a set of professional " meeters & greeters " for state occasions and functions has its' own advantages.
You'd really have to be here to experience and weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of having the ongoing permanence of a non politically affiliated Royalty (who have no authority in terms of presenting or passing legislation) rather than whoever happens to be voted into office at the time.
Whilst no Royalist myself, I'm open minded enough to be open to both Royalist and republican arguments. I'm not sure why you'd imagine we consider ourselves in any way "better" than our American friends, unless it could be that in any race to the bottom we're well ahead of most countries.
