• 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.

my job I dont think is going to be stable for that much longer and I dont know what the hell I'm going to do next. I'm not specialised in anything just customer service roles. I've been working by myself mainly which has been great because I suffer with social anxiety.
Now the company has restructed and I will have a manager in most days with me I think. I'm getting myself stressed over it, like what if they're a complete prick I dont think I'd be able to handle it if they are.
Even just looking at other jobs gives me massive anxiety, going for interviews also makes me panic, I havent needed to interview for years.
I've thought about studying but I'm not up to date with computers, I was trying to do something on my laptop the other day and took me forever because I'm dumb. I dont even know if I've got the brain power to even do a long course. The one I've seen is for 10 months and then I could further study for another 10 months for the 3rd level. So that's basically 2 years of studying and I just dont know if I've got the commitment.

Then theres housing, my parent is going to get inheritance when their parent passes and they want to move away to buy a property in a cheaper area where theyll be able to afford it. but will probably be a retirement place so effectively I'd be homeless. No idea where I will live. Wouldnt be able to cope in shared housing living with people I dont know. It would be a bit of a stretch to afford social housing and private rent is just too expensive.

I've no partner to fall back on to support me. So I have to figure out all on my own.


Theres all this shit you have to deal with being an adult I just find the future really scary. I genuinely have no idea what i am doing or where exactly I'm going to end up. Its exhausting.

As for retirement it will probably be around 70 years old by the time I come to retire. I'm hoping I've died before I retire tbh. One of the political parties, Tories I think, wanted to stop national insurance which pays for current retirees ( and state benefits I believe.)
If they stop that, surely that means in the future there will be no state pension for my generation. I have no idea how I would afford to live as a small private pension would not cover my expenses.

I just feel really gloomy and stressed about everything. sorry for the rant I just needed to put my thoughts down somewhere. Maybe I'll just ctb and not have to worry about any of this.

I really relate to how you are feeling. I wish I could offer some words of comfort but, all I can really do is sympathise. My area of work is creative and I've also worked alone for many years now. It's freelance so, I'm constantly in that precarious state of not knowing whether I'll get more work or, have to find something else. It's so stressful. I'm really sorry. I hope things work out for you.

being freelance does sounds stressful. Thank for your reply. Just not really sure how things will pan out and that's the scary part.
