Its weird how most of this sub is obsessed with Greg and seems to think he'll end up as CEO, which is such a laughable notion. Just because he's goofy and had some funny scenes written for him with Tom?
Greg has always been a f***ing dumb moron who lacks all common sense. But he's now shown that he's just as big a piece of shit as the Roys, he's greedy and thought he was as imp as Logan etc and was actually someone who mattered? Screw him.
Now he turns against and even sue Ewan who's been a saint and wanted to give him $250m and has done everything to help his piece of shit good for nothing moron nephew, just because he told him to grow up and he won't just keep giving him things? Greg is an ungrateful scumbag on top of everything! Ewan literally rescued him from starving. I hope Ewan and his lawyer really go to work on Greg and show him no mercy.
Greg just became one of the most unlikeable people on a show full of assholes.
When Bertie proposes to Edith, he says he’s just a “penniless land agent.” Were agents really that poorly paid or was he just talking in relation to the Crawley’s wealth? Were agents middle class or upper-middle class?
I’d like to think Tom got a decent salary.
Following is the email I sent to customer service/middle management:
Hi, I placed an order for home delivery of my fortnightly food shop on Wednesday 24th November 2021 at 2am for delivery (the same day) between 9pm-10pm. This food shop is very important for me as I'm extremely vulnerable to Covid and severely disabled so I rely on my food shop delivery to provide food and nourishment. Without this I would have no food.
I received a phone call at 7:26pm on that day explaining there was a driver shortage and they were no longer able to deliver my groceries. I stated I understood these things and I was then informed I would receive a Full refund and £10 goodwill credit.
On Saturday 27th November 2021, I had no refund, no credit and no food. I contacted tesco customer support on WhatsApp. The agent informed me they cannot expedite the refund process even after explaining I'm vulnerable and very hungry. 8 days after booking the order I still remain without refund. The money Tesco withdrew from my account to pay for the order is the only money I currently have. Without this money I have nothing to buy food with and therefore I have no way of feeding myself. I've waited 8 days and I'm starting to run out of food to it.
I remembered Jake as my greatest failure. Apparently, the feeling was not mutual.
His contact was appended right at the bottom of the letter, the vast ocean of white space between his words and his number triggering an unknown peeve in my mind, an itch that did not exist before these very words appeared in front of my eyes:
Thank for the advice! You’re a real friend.
How? He was left on the streets, his pockets emptier than a spent bullet. Fear turned into curiosity, as swiftly as a werewolf under the full moon.
The phone rang exactly six times before he picked up.
“Hello?”
“Jake,” I said quietly.
There was a barely a pause before I heard Jake’s smiling voice through the phone.
“Donovan,” he laughed. “There you are!”
“Jake,” I said, a peculiar note altering my voice. “I don’t understand.”
“Understand what? How you rendered me homeless and penniless twenty years ago? Don’t worry about it, man,” Jake chuckled. “Journey and not the destination. Sounds like something you would have said to me then, eh?”
“Are you here to mock me?” I whispered, feeling angry tears choking my throat. “I’m sorry. I really am. But why send a letter to my house? Why—“
“I’m not here to mock you,” Jake said. “I’m here to thank you. Bad advice or not, it taught me a valuable lesson. And that’s worth something, no?”
There was laughter in that voice, but it lacked variation, tone, humour, and joy. It replicated perfectly the mechanics behind laughter, but none of the heart. The curiosity in my body ebbed back into fear, and adrenaline pumping so hard that it pounded my head—but it allowed me to blurt out just one more question.
“What?”
“You told me to chase the money, no matter the cost,” he laughed. “It cost me my life. And you know I can’t help it, because it got me to thinking—just how much would the soul of my murderer cost?”
It took every exertion not to let my jaw go slack, and my knees to collapse on the floor.
“What are you?”
“Along my journey,” he laughed, that same grimness suffused through it. “I’ve come to be known as the Reaper."
Anybody else’s NP make everything about money? I mean kids are normally penniless right?
I got kicked out of my home cos my little fucktard brother wanted to jump me out and literally have his little fucktard buddies kick the dog shit out of me and I'm living at a motel now. It's been a rough couple months, but I at least have a job at Dairy Queen in a new part of the state.
So yeah, my gf and I have been surviving off jailhouse-style spreads, and lemme tell you that shit is actually super-good to survive off of.
The other night I took 4 Ramens, mixed it in with some hungry jack and some refried beans, and the last of some crushed up, stale doritos, rolled that shit in a tortilla and put some mayo on it and that's about the best meal I've had in the last 5 days. Besides that, it's been malt liquor, canned peas and peanut butter.
But guess what? Even after having to take a little down for lunch money, motel rent and a brand new moped cos my truck died I still have 26@45, motherfuckers.
If I can HODL through all the bullshit, you can too.
I currently have no source of income due to mental health issues. I've applied for every source of assistance you can think of but it all takes time, and I have little food in the meantime. Not to mention the fact that my living situation is stressful beyond belief and triggers a lot of my trauma. My family has completely abandoned me as well, I can't receive any help from them.
I've just felt so alone, I have no time to find help with my mental issues because I'm too concerned with when I'll be able to eat next. It's such a hopeless situation, I've broken down several times from the weight of everything.
I just need a bit of help with money so that I can afford food and basic necessities, preferably through PayPal, until all other services can potentially come through. Or you can help by sending me anything from my wishlist (the headphones are to avoid triggers). https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1SPUASGY6Y6M1?ref_=wl_share
Any consideration or potential aid I will greatly appreciate!! ;;
Hi all. This is my first time posting on this sub, and I’m sorry if this isn’t the right sub or right kind of post, but I’m so damn angry and feel powerless. Without getting too into it, I left a very, very toxic workplace earlier this year that I didn’t realize how traumatic the whole experience of working their + leaving would be until I left. There was a lot of harassment/bullying AND sexual misconduct, one of the leaders there is a straight up sexual predator. (Fully male-run organization, with the head of the organization a textbook narcissist and bully, who enables the sexual predator and has covered for/protected multiple times)
Since leaving there’s been such a download of trauma that I didn’t realize I was carrying with me and on top of that, (again, without going into too much detail) people that I thought were friends, whose houses I’d had dinner at, who I’d worked long stressful hours with and had many heart to hearts with over the years ended up caring more about their shitty jobs at this place and literally protecting a predator than accountability. It’s left me feeling so betrayed and like I can’t trust anyone and I don’t even know if I can continue to work in this line of work anymore—which is what my education and experience is in and used to be my passion. It’s like my source of income, as well as passion, and social group have all disappeared almost overnight and not only that, it’s like those years of my life were spent pouring myself into a place that ultimately ended up being…. Kind of evil.
I have suffered financially and socially and unpacking the trauma (not as though I didn’t have other sources of trauma to begin with) has left me feeling so hopeless. I know it’s good riddance, but I’m left feeling like I can’t trust people, my own intuition (why did I actually think I had friends at this place? Why did I stay?) or anything in general. And now I’ve spent the remainder of my savings in therapy trying to process and the new job hunt is dismal, I have no north start anymore. I feel like I can’t muster the energy I once could to do my practice, let alone get my life back to somewhat functional. The literal patriarchy has never got me so down and feeling powerless. Worried about what else is coming with this eclipse business coming, in taurus— my ascendent no less. Could use some halp. 😪
Edit: may have used the wrong flair, sorry. But burning the patriarchy would sure alleviate some of my woes.
I was forced to leave her country as her government stole the thousands of dollars we’d saved together for our future, and gave it to her abusive, yet legal husband.
NOTE: Those of you suggesting illegal ways to make money, please read my post again...specially where I wrote "ONLY LEGAL WAYS TO MAKE A LIVING". This is not hard boys and girls. I'm not trying to drive the conversation, but if I'm there LEGALLY in one of your big cities, with a work permit if needed and not a single penny in my pocket. Where did I get my next meal? Can I go to a restaurant and work for food to make it to the next day?
So this question specifically pertains to British society, but I'm sure the same applies elsewhere.
In period dramas and films, such as Belle, it depicts the first born as inheriting the entire wealth and estate of their rich parents. While I'm sure this was the law, how often was it the case that the latter born siblings would have been absolutely penniless? Surely in some cases the first born would have been happy to share their wealth with their siblings?
As a further question, I presume today the law is such that children would get a relatively equal split of their parents estate, so the law must have changed at some point, when did this happen?
Edit: Thanks so much, everybody! ;_; I was deeply touched by your responses!
