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

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

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?

In my experience, male gamers play whatever big game everyone else is playing and female gamers play the games they enjoy 🤷‍♂️
