I find this incredibly hard to believe. I suppose it depends on your age but I’m early 40’s and had many of my friends since teenage years. Kinda hard not to learn someone’s surname after that amount of time.
Not to mention I used to be on social media in the early days and so surnames were a thing there.

- Comment on Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump 4 days ago:
On the rainy Grands Boulevards in Paris on Friday, the branches of McDonald’s and KFC were doing brisk business.
There was little sign of “le boycott” – a movement among French customers to reject American brands and products made in the US, in protest at Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and anti-Europe rhetoric.

On the mobile side I just don’t answer the thing unless it’s the doctors or something. I’ve Pavlov’d my friends and family into never calling as they know I generally don’t answer, so they text instead.
My pet hate with texts is when some people will spam you with repeated texts rather than one long one.

That’s a good point I used to see him all the time and chatted with him some.
Last I spoke, in public comments in here, he had completed his move to the UK (where I live too) so perhaps he’s just been busy with all the changes.

- Comment on How did you get your job? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a long story so I will try and bullet point it as I don’t have a lot of time to answer.
- Mid to late thirties and I’m thinking I’m a failure at life. Think I have ADHD but never diagnosed. Had 50+ jobs to this point and I always quit or lose them for poor attendance etc, mix in a little fraud to supplement wages.
- Apply to an insurance company and begin training. Someone I had screwed over (I am a better person now) reported me to management and they fired me.
- decided to apply to Apple as a Christmas temp and get hired for 3 months.
- excel at being faux extrovert and apply for Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist. Get hired.
- Begin work at the Genius Bar where I thrive cause being a fake extrovert actually makes you happier at times, but you leave work drained.
- Realise we have healthcare and seek an ADHD diagnosis, which I got.
- surrounded by talented people and infinite support from management I decide to do a software development bootcamp.
- excel at coding as I had always been interested and I am even at a higher level than the teacher and they’re blown away by my projects.
- suck at interviews and so do another bootcamp, 😔, as this one also get you interviews.
- excel at this bootcamp too and still suck at interviews.
- must have gone for 30 jobs and didn’t get any.
- start to feel down but finally get hired to a small company.
- life really isn’t any greener over here and I still struggle to maintain happiness.
- company I work for is excellent. All about work life balance and the work is secondary to us.
- been 18 months. Got a pay rise after 1 year. Then 6 months later we all get a pay rise again and a reduction in hours.
- we only work 33 hours a week now with 21 days holiday which goes up one day each year until you’re at 25 days.
- don’t have to lie about why I am sick. If not having a good mental health day then I tell them and I am not expected to work.

- Comment on Michael Sheen buys £1m worth of people's debts 3 weeks ago:
At the risk of being downvoted here is what an LLM says for someone based in the UK. It looks like there are some regulatory licenses we would need to but I am down to try this.
Setting up a debt acquisition company in the UK to buy and forgive debt is a noble idea, but it involves navigating some legal, financial, and regulatory challenges. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:
1. Incorporate Your Company
• Structure: Register a private limited company (Ltd) through Companies House. This structure limits your personal liability.
• Name and SIC Code: Choose a unique company name and use an appropriate SIC code (e.g., 64999 for financial intermediation not elsewhere classified).
• Directors and Shareholders: Appoint at least one director (can be you) and determine share distribution.
2. Register for Financial Regulation
• FCA Authorisation: You’ll need authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) since debt purchasing and management are regulated activities. Apply via the FCA website and expect a fee.
• Consumer Credit Licence: Obtain a consumer credit licence if you’ll be dealing with consumer debts.
3. Develop a Business Plan
• Mission Statement: Clearly state your goal to buy and forgive debt.
• Funding Strategy: Determine how you’ll finance the purchase of debt (e.g., donations, grants, or investor backing).
• Debt Acquisition Strategy: Focus on purchasing heavily discounted debt, often found with collection agencies looking to offload defaulted accounts.
4. Secure Funding
• Donations or Crowdfunding: Platforms like GoFundMe or Kickstarter can help raise funds.
• Grants: Research grants for non-profits or social enterprises.
• Investors: Look for impact investors interested in social good.
5. Buy Debt Portfolios
• Debt Brokers: Contact brokers who sell distressed debt. They usually sell for pennies on the pound.
• Types of Debt: Focus on unsecured consumer debt (credit cards, medical bills) for easier acquisition and forgiveness.
• Due Diligence: Review the legality and status of debt portfolios before buying.
6. Forgive the Debt
• Notification: Inform debtors in writing that their debt has been forgiven with no tax consequences.
• Debt Registry: Ensure the debt is marked as resolved or forgiven in credit bureaus if applicable.
7. Tax Implications
• Corporation Tax: Even if forgiving debt, you may still owe tax on donations or other income.
• Gift Aid: If you register as a charity, you can benefit from Gift Aid on donations.
8. Compliance and Reporting
• Annual Returns: Submit financial statements and annual returns to Companies House and the FCA.
• GDPR Compliance: Handle debtor information in line with GDPR regulations.
9. Marketing and Transparency
• Website: Create a transparent website detailing your mission and impact.
• Impact Reports: Publish reports on debt forgiven to build credibility.
Would you need more detail on any of these steps?
- Comment on Michael Sheen buys £1m worth of people's debts 4 weeks ago:
I mean it should be feasible. Once you work out what the costs involved in setting up a company. There is a likely a process where you bid against other companies to buy debt. Then you just get to send people nice letters saying you won’t chase the debt or you’ll write it off.
- Comment on Michael Sheen buys £1m worth of people's debts 4 weeks ago:
Only cost him £100,000 too. He started debt acquisition company so you buy debt for pennies on the pound.
The article also says:
Sheen said he did not have £100,000 to “throw around” and therefore wanted the project to be “effective”

Upvoted because everybody should stop using Amazon.

So you don’t believe us all being in echo chambers is going to make the situation worse?
Do you believe that you can’t get any right wingers to turn left wing? What about vice versa?
I couldn’t give a fuck what they think you pleb, I am interesting in trying to get people to open their eyes and leave the right and come join us on the left.
Many of those people have been lied to, just as much as we have and I believe given the opportunity we would be able to reason people out of their mindsets to find a common enemy which is elites.
Unless you just want to hang around here and we can all wank each other off a how much more superior we are because of our beliefs whilst never actually increasing our numbers because nobody wants to interact with the perceived other side.
Funny how you can now what all republicans want, but I’m sure you would take issue if they said all leftists want the exact same thing.

Apparently he doesn’t regret that because he wanted the pizzas at the time and he had BTC to trade. Shame the landfill dude can’t do the same.
- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks ago:
This place has become a self-righteous circle jerk with no means of spreading the information we believe in as they’re hostile to anybody that isn’t exactly the same.
So if all use leftists are here and all the right wingers are on Twitter, then nobody is going to learn anything new as we have become our own echo chambers.
