Hasn’t Trump appointed him head of media relations, or something equally as stupid?

Blue and red, they’re basically the same party at this point.

I stacked it on the kerb coming back from the shop the other day and both my knees are now bruised to fuck and have started creaking when I go to stand up. It’s taken my all not to refer to the incident as my having ‘had a fall’ too, for some reason.

I was hoping to at least get past my (current) mid thirties before the knee pain and geriatric language started creeping in.

I wish you all the luck.

Look up trans healthcare rights in the UK. Transphobia is actively being promoted by our government based on shitty unfounded but politically backed science like the Cass report.

And while the UK is probably one of the safest places in the world to be gay, there is still homophobia. If you’re visibly queer and ever have to rely on healthcare services, you will most likely experience it.

Some areas in the UK have drastically better autism and adhd services than others. Like day and night drastically.

From memory, and sorry to direct you back there, Reddit’s UK autism and adhd boards did have some resources on this, and will probably have enough of a user base to be able to give you a good idea of where is currently good or bad.

Cheltenham is probably still really good for both NHS and charity/independent adhd, autism and mental health services for both kids and adults- but my information on the area is now nearly 5 years old, so you will have to look it up for yourself.

And I can only speak for NHS adult adhd, autism and MH services in North London, but they’re next to non existent here and will, from experience, very likely be actively detrimental when you are able to access anything.

Is your kid neurotypical? If so it’s going to be much easier for you to move almost anywhere in the UK.

If not, and/or if you can afford it, look into smaller private schools with lots of extra curricular activities going on. With the smaller class sizes, education and potential for assimilating with peers will be drastically improved for your kid, and you will have a much easier time meeting other parents and forming a community too.

Otherwise state schools with lots of arts and sciences funding are probably your best bet, so look into that, find a good one and try to move to their catchment area.

Also if you or your kid have any mental/health issues, get health insurance. NHS waiting lists are very long and the quality of service is often poor, especially for people in vulnerable situations and for visibly queer/trans/neurodiverse female presenting/bodied folk. Honestly, just get health insurance anyway if you can afford it, it should be cheaper here than in the US at least.

Disclaimer: I’m neither a parent nor an American in the UK, but I am from here and went to a lot of schools as a kid (moved a lot) and I am queer.

On the plus side (/s) resource depletion, climate collapse and ww3 will probably get most of us by 2030. So there isn’t too much longer to wait.

Enjoy the last of the abundance and don’t reproduce, there isn’t really anything else we can do now.

I’m starting to feel ableist for laughing at you. This is no longer fun for me so I’m blocking you now.

Hopefully you can become a better person on your own. Good luck wanker.

Even an ounce of self reflection would go a long way my dude. Here’s hoping one day you’ll be able to get over that ego of yours and give it a go.

Nah fam, what’s ironic is that you’re the one being the dick here.

Do you think the non-vegans in this thread respect you and like veganism more now after your behaviour here?

Or do you think that they also think you’re a massive gaping asshole of a vegan?

Who would consider joining this movement after seeing you trying to be the vegan morality police over a joke you didn’t like made by a fellow vegan?

The standard for veganism that you’re trying to insist on setting here is socially controlling, demanding, manipulative and just plain unlikable.

You’re really not helping the vegan cause with this behaviour.

So you promote this good thing by shitting on other vegans and acting as if you make the rules? Lmao, you’re really making us look so great infront of the meatheads.

I’m not sure you’ve thought this through tbh.

So in order to placate the meat eating masses, vegans should never talk back to the meat headed trolls?

Bruh a vegan having good comebacks to trolling isn’t going to tank the cause and my putting a troll in their place with a good quip isn’t going to make the meat eating bigots hate vegans any more or less. They’re going to hate us anyway, so why not let some vegans enjoy fucking with them back?

Or you know, just get the fuck over yourself and stop trying to control people.

If you have less respect for vegans because you saw a vegan once took the piss out of a carnist troll on an internet forum… you do realise that’s fucking pathetic of you right?

So you think vegans should passively put up with bullshit from trolls and never poke fun back? Why?

What makes me an asshole here?

Did you mean to reply to me?

It’s technically vegan if the human consents and wants to be eaten.

I don’t have any desire or curiosity to eat meat, human or animal, so I wouldn’t partake. The added vore fetish sexual aspect is also really gross to me tbh.

Did I really trigger you so badly that your feeble hormone addled carivore brain tried to get you to think about eating broccoli?

Wow. New vegan power unlocked.
