Bank: "Sorry, you can't afford a £750 a month mortgage."

Also bank: "But paying your landlord £1,200 a month so he can pay his mortgage is fine, no problem at all."

Make it make sense.

You guys are vastly underestimating how expensive it is to exist right now. Even gainfully employed people are borrowing money like mad just to get through the month.

my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.

This economy is whooping everybody’s asş. Please DO NOT feel embarrassed about your financial situation right now. A lot of people are struggling, and we’re all just doing the best we can to get through it.

you've gotta be more afraid of wasting your life than embarrassing yourself

I miss when "The News" was just a guy in a suit telling you what happened, instead of a 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so you don't notice your rent went up 30%.

the one conspiracy i believe is that this place is full of bots programmed to say insane, incendiary things and they're funded by foreign organizations who want to divide americans and destabilize US society

The saddest thing about youth unemployment is that many young people did exactly what society told them to do: study, qualify, work hard. Yet opportunities remain out of reach.

Sex is everywhere, but loyalty, commitment, and support isn’t.

Somebody said “The love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere there is.
A solitary soul loves you by choice, not out of a need for company.” and that’s so true.

@_Chemist1 High standards aren’t just about achievement. They’re about energy. And someone with real standards knows exactly how much certain interactions cost. Which is why detachment isn’t coldness. It’s conservation.

Once you actually go outside and talk to normal people, you’ll realize that none of this Twitter shit is real at all

People be sexually attracted to you….... not interested in a future with you. Big difference!

The cruelest thing slavery and colonialism did to the Africans was to destroy their memory of what they were before foreign contact.

You can earn £28k–£35k in the UK 🇬🇧 and still feel like you’re surviving, not living.

Let’s be honest.

Rent: £900–£1,400 (one bed, nothing fancy)

Council tax: £120–£200

Energy: unpredictable- let’s say 150 for gas and electricity.

Transport: quietly draining you daily- bus fare increases every year.

Food: rising every single month- even Aldi is getting expensive and Tesco is not getting cheap.

Before the month even starts… your salary is already gone.

Then they ask:
“Why are our people relying on benefits?”

Because the maths stopped making sense.

Working full-time used to mean stability.

Now it means exhaustion with no progress.

You save £200? Something breaks.

You plan ahead? Rent goes up.

You pick extra shifts? Tax eats the difference.

And slowly… people check out.

Not because they’re lazy.
Because the reward for working doesn’t match the cost of living anymore.

Imagine:
You wake up 6am
12-hour shift
Come home drained

And your account balance still looks like you didn’t move.

At some point, people start asking:
“What exactly am I working for?”

That’s when the system quietly loses people.

• You’re paying pension you may never enjoy.

• You’re paying tax into a system you barely feel.

• You’re told to “budget better” while prices keep climbing.

Meanwhile, rent keeps rising like it’s on steroids.

Housing is the biggest issue nobody wants to fix.

Because once rent takes over half your income…,
everything else becomes survival.

So no, I do not believe that people living in the UK 🇬🇧 suddenly become lazy.

They just realised:

Working non-stop and still being broke
is a different kind of poverty.

If Ai replaces all the jobs, where do corporations expect people to earn money to continue being consumers? I am just not understanding why that simple question is not being asked.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary (I still call it Twitter though!)
