I know it's likely not a belief in this group but… To those that believe this lie, I ask how?

My father and 3 of my siblings when to college/uni, 1 works in a related field.

If you went into the situation with the wrong idea about what college is for, then yes, I can see how you'd think it was a scam.

"Oh you thought this was about improving your life? No it's about securing your membership in the elite you peasant"

Or if you're someone who didn't attend and are one if the few who are "doing fine" and only have the lies of grifters, then yes, I can see how you'd think it's a scam.

Keep yourself safe cute twink. People like you give education, not even higher education but the very concept of it a bad name.

But college or higher education is not about getting a job, its about acquiring skills, learning how to learn, and how to process it all when you no longer have a teacher.

!r-slurs come get your boy!

What possible point is there to acquiring skills if it doesn't improve my life? What is college a fricking hobby (tbh it is at this point and that's why it's a scam)?

And "learning how to learn"? Oh shut the frick up I've heard that same sorry excuse for why schooling is a waste of time since I was little boy. I learned how to learn in grade school, then again in high school, there's no point in taking a 3rd swing at it.

If you went and only focused on grades in order to get a degree in order to get a job, then you screwed up!

!nooticers these people treat higher ed like a ritual, a passage into adulthood.

You the individual focused on the wrong thing and now want to play the blame game. Its like playing basketball but only focusing on dribbling, of course you won't get the outcome you want your focus was on the wrong thing.

The out come I want is access to jobs I've already done, been trained to do by professionals but have been locked away from me by some insurance adjuster or bitter HR ladygarden.

To those that did not attend but are doing well, congratulations!! You are a prime example of survivor bias. Good for you in pulling 6- figues but the vast majority of people don't or would even get close without some level of higher education.

God they hate the poor. The only people in my family who make 100,000 a year or more are oil field workers. Literally it. And none of them have what an American would consider a college or uni education.

And in what world is 100k "doing alright"? It's fricking rich! I was raised on less than 2k a month in household income.

!nooticers 6 million

GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.

Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.

"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.

Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.

While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.

Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.

"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.

"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.

She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.

She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.

U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

Stolen from @misterwigger because I need to make sure everyone sees this. It's that good.

Didnt watch anything new this week either. Last season was kinda whack, not much I wanna see, and the stuff I wanted to see turned out mid. Hope this season will be better.

@Kongvann pin pls

One of my favourite ways to bait bongoids is to venture into small-town subreddits, particularly /r/Bristol and make an oblique reference to how many rental properties I own then go around treating everyone like they're Oliver Twist.

It's natural that British Redditors would be some of the most detestable mayoids on the internet, so I have compiled various examples of small-town seethe.

It's one thing to read the top-level headlines about GDP, but it's better to dive in and observe the bong in his natural habitat, which is rapidly becoming Burundi:

Renting in Bristol

Ive been living in bristol for almost 10 years and watching the rent rise every year to astronomical amounts is so discouraging.

This user plays Dungeons and Dragons in his thirties

£1200-£1400 for a one bed flat and theyre not always in the centre.. i dont get how this is acceptable.

Bristolians unironically give up half of their third world salary to live in The Backrooms

For reference, Bristol looks like this:

(Which could all be forgiven if they didn't use words like 'vibrant' to describe homeless encampments)

It's a terrible state of affairs. I'm living in a caravan about 8 miles from Bristol after the breakdown of my marriage.

why would you admit this

I feel your pain, when I was a school leaver 10 years ago you could get a studio flat on Gloucester Road for £600pcm including council tax. Now that same flat today is £1300, excluding council tax,

A lot can change in ten years

I really hope a big rent revolution is coming soon. This is a too wide spread problem

> reeeeeee the revolution is coming ()

I hope so for everyone one too but how on earth can it happen? The reality is that demand outstrips supply

Rent is artificially inflated- just because there is demand it does not mean you should be able to charge whatever you want.

I understand the supply vs demand argument, but that does not quite apply to housing, does it?

Why is so difficult for communist losers?

Sadly, it's the result of all the londoners etc moving here in the WFH post covid times

That 'etc' is doing a lot of work here

Simple but well executed

How's that going for you? Let's see what communism is doing for the job market

What are some non customer facing Jobs in Bristol with limited experience?

I'm on Student visa but graduated.

This got a Masters' degree in AI In Britain where every tech job has been sent to Mumbai

I've applied to fast food places, supermarkets, and retail jobs, but all I've faced is rejection.

I wonder if anyone gave them sound advice?

We have a taker! The response?

While my parents are supportive of my studies, they are conservative so I don't want to really go back.

my parents aren't sufficiently supportive of trans rights so I guess I'll starve

Remember, poors deserve it!

Email or DM every restaurant/ business you can think of explaining you'd like to work there cleaning dishes and sound excited (they love excitement and people cleaning their dishes)

just give em a firm handshake

Hartcliffe and Knowle West: Is it fair to describe them as "deprived" areas?

Hey, I am researching a documentary about knife crime in Bristol. Would it be fair to describe Hartcliffe and Knowle West as "deprived" or "low income" neighbourhoods?

Broadly speaking, yes. As with everywhere there is some variation. One of the main issues is the complete lack of services due to underfunding.

please bro just give them more free money I swear it will work this time bro please Keynes said it once you have to believe me

It's poor, high unemployment, underfunded etc. Kids in balaclavas on illegal dirt bikes and shopping trolleys everywhere.

Computer add shopping trolleys to the list

30.7% of social housing tenants in Coventry were born outside the UK.

These figures are quite scary to me to be honest, does anybody else care about this?

There's a Grade 1 Chud Incursion on /r/coventry as the city's Last White Man wakes up and discovers he is living in a cross between Lahore and 1992 Belarus.

For reference, Coventry looks like this:

And it should look like this:

Couldn't give a darn where they're from, if they need a home they should have one. Coventry has always been a multiethnic city

Labour's strongest soldier chimes in!

✅ Condescending Neurodivergent woman

✅ Workshy Parasite

✅ JK Rowling Derangement Syndrome

51% of private renters are born outside the UK. 31% of social renters are born outside the UK. So what the data is saying is that you're much less likley to be in social housing than private renting if you're born outside the UK.

only a THIRD of our taxpayer-funded property during a housing crisis goes to the third world, chud! This is a good thing somehow

Why are the figures scary to you?

Why indeed?

/r/coventry is a particularly funny example because it genuinely reads like a messageboard posted in the centre of a Jakarta slum

Any buy nothing groups here not on Facebook?

('Buy nothing group' is like a commune btw)

Is there anyone here who can help me get a job?

Wanted to know what is the part time job scene in Coventry?

Anyone know where I can get some free old scaffolding boards?

Can anyone please suggest good fish and chips in Coventry without alcohol in recipe?

any tips before i move to coventry?

Other than don't?

Oh I see you're Muslim 😊 there's a very welcoming mosque close to the city centre called the Iqra centre. The imam is an absolutely wonderful man.

The bad areas are Stoke Aldermoor, Wood End, Hillfields, Tile Hill, Upper Stoke, Middle Stoke, Lower Stoke (anywhere with the word "Stoke" in it), Edgwick, Paradise (Lol), Radford (parts of it), Foleshill (large parts of it), Willenhall, Wyken (parts of it), Henley Green, Canley, Holbrooks (parts of it), Spon End.

Oh, so the entire thing?

/r/brum:

Never realised how bad the NHS is struggling until I had to go to the QE last night at midnight.

7 hour wait. 0 degrees outside and you're in an outside queue to get in the front door.

People lying on the floor or standing against windows. All the walk ways blocked. One bloke sat in his own shit. The smell from just standing in the waiting room with all the sick people, piss heads who have turned up made me retch.

excuse me

Last time I went to A&E at the QE someone tried to nick my wheelchair.

Tories and now new labour making the NHS so bad that it'll be a lot easier to bring in the inevitable US style system

yeah paying a few hundred quid for Bupa is so much worse than watching your family members die in their own piss and shit while an NHS nurse records a tiktok nearby

In conclusion: It turns out that the average bong is either a seething marxoid or just doesn't care as long as he gets his benefits and sag paneer . Do not feel bad for the bong; he deserves all of this and more

You act like dowry didn't exist before these gen z girls. You're hurt only because now girls are just as greedy as boys. (39)

Dowry is greed? OkayLet's talk about from history to present timeA boy will be rejected or accepted during marriage depend upon how much wealth he has, how much he earn, what is his status?One who sell panipuri doesn't get car in dowry.. Because dowry is given on the basis of his stature (aukaat)When father give dowry he does not give share in property to her daughter and he expect from groom to pass generational wealth to kids, bear all expense of kids education, marriage all alone..U r not doing any favour by giving dowry..Last but not least..lets take an example If a guy whole wealth worth 50lakh rupees.. He won't get 50lakh dowry.Dowry always given 50% of his total wealth or sometime even less than 50%Dowry kabhi bhi equivalent nahi milta jitna bande ka worth hota hai..Due to so many reason.. Like girl is leaving his house and some other reason.Prove me wrong what I said..So no one is doing favour. (-20)

That's fair. But then the man needs to do his part as a conservative. Financially, Socially. You can't have conservative ideals for your partner but not have it to.My idea of a conservative man is someone who has not watched porn. Who has the means to provide and who should wear indian clothes for all indian functions. If a man wants a virgin. He needs to be a virgin both in action as well as thought. You want a wife to cook 3 meals a day. Well. You need to afford a wife that can cook 3 meals a day. (10)

It is to assuage the egos of the conservative indian boys who need to justify their lack of ability to talk to women.See one woman's opinion shows me that all women are bad. It's not my fault. It's the woman's fault for not liking me. I will blame her and put all responsibilities on her because I want a rich hot girl but I don't have money for a rich hot girl. K byeee (30)

How is it conservative if you ask a person to equate her expectations from that of others to what she has to offer?I mean it's the same victim playing.You're literally trying to change the topic from one thing to, conservative.They are poles apart.If you think woman asking for a husband with good salary is progressive and men expecting the same is conservative, I guess you're too dense to even argue.You're refusing to acknowledge that "Men can ask such woman to be the example and earn the sum themselves that they expect from husbands" isn't in anyway conservative.Is it?How?You see your hypocrisy here don't you?You are trying to paint the argument in a light where you can hide behind the screen of "victim of sexism" while trying to tactfully avoid answering my question because that would prove this girl and you hypocrites and not make me sound as "conservative""5 lakh is not great expectations if you're working abroad"Well it is if you're not doing that yourself as a example and expe...
