@RejoinP Odd place to do a poll like this. Shouldn’t you be over on @bluesky with the nonces?

Should Britain Rejoin the European Union? #ExitBrexit

Name an addiction worse than alcohol and drugs.

@GBNEWS Sack the non-jobbers sending out these orders. They add nothing and cost us everything.

NHS orders staff not to say 'it’s raining cats and dogs' over fears it will offend foreign patients gbnews.com/news/nhs-order…

@james_xond Cheese. We are here for cheese.

I still don’t get the concept behind life. WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE HERE FOR?

@gumsays This is a meme coin. 😂

This is fucking insane, Anthropic is now priced at a $1.7 TRILLION valuation People are paying a 81% premium just to get access to it on Solana The top holder onchain is up $2.6M

Have said it before, @Keir_Starmer is a Chinese asset.

@ramonagusta But just look how much diversity has strengthened it.

The 300 year old wall is certainly “feeling the enrichment” now…

@space_monkey_jr @trwsenti Nowt wrong with randos. Some of the best people I know are randos and I was a rando to them until I wasn’t.

@PacketGroove @trwsenti Live in basically a hostel with some randos & Indians in the prime of their lives when they should be starting a family? Our grandparents would have 2 kids, a mortgage & only one parent working an average manual job. We should be aspiring to a lot more.

£32,000 a year. Graduate job. What it actually comes to: Gross: £2,667 a month. Income tax: £324 National insurance: £225 Student loan Plan 2: £35 Pension (4% auto-enrol): £107 Take home: £1,976. Rent in any UK city worth living in: £1,200. Council tax, gas, electric, water, internet: £420. Train or petrol to get to work: £250. Bills alone eat £1,870 of it. Leaves you £106 a month for food, clothes, socialising and any kind of life. This is what a 'good graduate job' looks like in 2026 after 3 years at uni and £50K of student debt. How did we let them sell this to us?

@CelticSky28 @trwsenti Liverpool is awesome tbh

@PacketGroove @trwsenti Not sure why you've assumed I'm brainwashed into thinking uni is the only way.... I've done a hell of a lot of work encouraging young people into apprenticeships actually. And moving back home wasn't possible for me or plenty of others. Liverpool is a great shout though.

I moved south for work at 19 after spending 3 years at home while working. I stayed in shared accommodation for three years after that, made lifelong friends there. I rented for a few more years and then bought my first house in my late 20s. Worked my arse off, stupid hours, for the next 15 years to pay it off. Because I did that things are now much much easier.

@PacketGroove @trwsenti Oh you could stay at home?

@Heccles94 Young? You look like you’re approaching 50.

I’m white. I’m English. Im a young man. I think that Reform UK and Restore Britain are despicable parties praying on hate and fear. They are establishment charlatans funding dangerous far-right ethno-nationalists to try and seize power. They are dangerous.

Certainly not Uni or capital cities, they are wank for accommodation. If you have been brainwashed into believing you must to go to Uni to be successful you aren’t obligated to stay there after the fact. Move back home, return to your roots. If you have learned real skills in Uni there are hundreds of towns in the UK you can work. Broaden your horizons, but if you really want to stay in left wing utopia, look for house shares in Liverpool.

@PacketGroove @trwsenti Absolutely insane way to ignore the point but okay then so what right wing nirvana shall we look at instead, to compare rents?

When did we create such a lazy and entitled youth?

@realmfberlin Go to Uni

Fastest way to go broke?

@CelticSky28 @trwsenti Nobody sane want to live in those left wing shitholes.

@PacketGroove @trwsenti A room in an HMO in London is at LEAST a grand at the minute. Manchester £750 if you're lucky. Oxford £900. Bristol £800. Birmingham £750. Not a life changing saving anywhere. And paying those rents, how long will it take anyone to save up enough to rent or buy alone? Decades.

@TiffanyFong Wait …. so Brits are happier?

Why are so many Americans prescribed antidepressants?

@followrandomacc @trwsenti * early retirement

@followrandomacc @trwsenti I did. I grew up on a council estate. Didn’t go to uni, f*ck that waste of time. I entered the workforce at 16. Learnt proper skills. Six figures now, 10 years from retirement. Thats the drive. University is the lie.
