@SubwayUK@FoodMan_aka I went into the store during my daily lunchtime walk as I work from home as an IT Analyst, when I walked in I looked up at the menu screen and was deciding what to choose, the lady asked me if im here to pick up a uber order, I felt really embarrassed and belittled
@SubwayUK@FoodMan_aka I went to Town field store in Wirral on my lunch break walk as I work from home, the lady presumes im a uber eats guy collecting an order, just because im brown! I felt embarrassed that I was the only person asked this
The same people yelling “deport them all” just watched a brown fruit vendor jump on a terrorist and eat two bullets like it was a Costco sample tray.
Now they don’t know whether to build him a statue or double-check his visa.
The simulation hates this kind of plot twist.
Because it’s not allowed.
You’re either the threat or the victim.
The savior role was preassigned to someone whiter, buffer, and preferably shirtless.
But here comes Ahmed.
Bald.
Bleeding.
Looking like he just got off a 12-hour shift and still said “fuck it, I got this.”
No cape. No Glock.
Just raw soul and a few neck rolls of destiny.
This is what happens when reality breaks the narrative filter.
The algorithm tried to delete him mid-scroll.
But the blood didn’t ask for permission.
And now every side is buffering.
Because none of the scripts said he was allowed to be real.
Welcome to the part of the story where the NPCs start stuttering.
Because the fruit guy was the final boss.
And he didn’t need your permission to glitch the feed.
🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump just named himself “the greatest president of them all” and says he’s a better president than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Do you think Trump is completely delusional or just a f*cking idiot?
Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.
As #Ramadan starts this week, we recognise that staying at home during this time may be challenging.
We speak to Ibrahim Syed from the Liverpool Region Mosque Network about what's different about this years celebrations.
@Alom_M_ To be fair, I don't think it was a handball, it hit his chest and he was point to get his team in a different direction. Anyway it is, what it is. We did it!
