  • Hey Guest,

    We will never comply with any of OFCOM's demands or any other nations censorious demands for that matter. We will only follow the laws of the land of which our server is located, which is the US.

    Any demands for censorship or requests to comply with the law outside of the US will be promptly ignored.

    No foreign laws or pressure will make us comply with anti-censorship laws and we will protect the speech of our members, regardless of where they might live in the world. If that means being blocked in the UK, so be it. We would advise that any UK member gets a VPN to browse the site, or use TOR.

    However, today, we stand up these these governments that want to bully or censor this website.

    Fuck OFCOM, and fuck any media organization or group that think it's cool or fun to stalk or bully people that suffering in this world.

    Edit: We also wanted to address the veiled threats made against a staff member in the UK by the BBC in the news today. We are undeterred by any threats, intimination, by the BBC or by any other groups dedicated to doxxing and harassing our staff and members. Journalists from the BBC, CTV, Kansas Star, Daily Mail and many other outlets have continuiously ignored the fact that many of the people that they're interviewing (such as @leelfc84 on Twitter/X) and propping up are the same people posting addresses of staff members and our founders on social media. We show them proof of this and they ignore it and don't address it.They're all just as evil as each other, and should be treated accordingly. They do not care about the safety of our staff members, founders, or administrators, or even members, so why would they care about you?

    Now that we have your attention, journalists, will you ever address this? You've given these evil people interviews, and free press.

I've got a roommate that's a real asshole. Constantly on drugs, making death threats, breaking into my room, stealing cash, nair in the shampoo, taking days and days of sleep away from me, the whole fuckin' nightmare scenario. I've gotten pretty good at playing stoic and getting him to fuck off, but I feel like all the energy I devote to that is getting in the way of my recovery. Is there anything short of moving that would allow me to exit survival mode and process my grief while this is ongoing?

im gonna guess theres a reason you dont call the cops

in your specific situation, hard to say.

personally im managing to do it, but my situation is completely different from that however still follows the same "recover while chronically stressed" line

That sounds incredibly stressful! How long do you think you need this person to afford rent? Are you able to move and find someone else looking for a roommate who hopefully is a better fit?

Chronically stressful situations, permanent stress and all that can have severe health effect on us. You should change your living condition.

Imo it's impossible to recover from anything - especially MH issues - in such a situation.

Cost of living here and the surrounding areas is steep (average rent for a studio is around 2,300), so probably indefinitely. My girlfriend and I have been looking in the 1,500 range, but no luck so far. Real bummer

Hi, just wanted to give a quick update. The insight from people on this thread really helped me to mobilize and make the necessary change. I doubled my efforts and found a nice little studio for my girlfriend and I to split. It's a couple hundred dollars extra, but if it's a choice between remaining in a situation that has me on here every night and money being tight, then the right thing to do is now obvious. So- thank you!
