  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Hello, I just wanted to share some advice my father has given me over the years, as he doesn't have bad intentions and I thought that it may be helpful to some of you.

1. For younger adults, your main priority should be your education. It's very difficult to get a career that can support you w/o having a bachelor's. Once you get your degree, you have it for life. It is a security and something you can always fall back on. My father said that he regrets not going to university. He was a self-employed landscaper but he lost his business after he had a nervous breakdown/schizophrenia 10 years ago. He was homeless for a couple of years and felt like he had lost everything. No pension, etc. So, with that said, he emphasizes that financial security is very important in life.

2. No babies (if you want any) until you have a career, a place to live, and have finished your education. Having children is already stressful enough, so imagine having children when you can't even support yourself.

3. Never feel pressured by your spouse to have children. Don't believe that it will bring you closer together or that it can fix a broken relationship.

4. Don't sign loans under your name for your spouse. You don't want to be stuck with someone else's debt. People are unreliable, they can leave you at any time. Also in general avoid accumulating debt. Credit is important.

5. (Not from my father but I heard it from a 92 year old) You become old once you lose your health.

6. NO NICOTINE!

Feel free to add to the list if you want. Sorry if this seems overbearing or annoying

I'd add its best to be yourself than to follow a crowd

Better to disappoint people than to to liked

Always prepare ahead of what you can make the most for yourself in whatever you do

Never invite people you will regret later in life

Always settle for what your best at

Know when to trust yourself when everyone else doesn't believe you

It's better to leave a conversation than to let fools acknowledge you, by then you've already lost

Always know yourself and your triggers and know you can only trust yourself

Believe with what you see and if not, trust you've already made the choice when you've lost the ability to convey what's right in front of you

It's best to not have boyfriends until your ready and wise

Be happy and you will find peace

Peace isn't in people but inner peace that isn't in anything you've known

Buy yourself anything but better friends, if they existed, they can't be bought
