The average redditor seems so extremely over privileged. - Lemmygrad
They seem to think everything just comes easy, everything is obtainable. I was just reading a thread on reddit about a woman who screams non stop at her son and takes all her frustrations out on him and all of reddit are like “She needs to get therapy, for a long time, maybe years, maybe permanently.” Like, what the hell? Who on earth could even afford that? Do they all just have endless money? Even if you live in a country with socialised healthcare you normally have to spend ages on a waiting list for a short course of therapy. Who are all these millionaires who think everyone can just be in therapy permanently? Whenever anyone has a problem the reddit answer is always “Therapy, now!” With no thought at all about whether the person can access or pay for that. I’ve noticed this with other things on reddit too. There was once a reddit thread where people were asking why poor people buy takeaway food and how they can’t be poor if they buy it. I spoke on there about how I’d been in a situation where I was living in a bedsit, had run out of money, only had a few pounds left. There was no money left on my gas or electric meter. I could either put my last few pounds on the meter, or I could buy food, but then with no gas or electric I wouldn’t be able to cook any food. So my only option was to buy some cheap ready cooked food like chips from the fish and chip shop. Some really rude redditors refused to believe this, saying no-one is ever in that situation. They are so dissociated from reality they really don’t even believe people can be so poor they have to choose between utilities or food. I’ve see other threads where someone posts photos of a medical condition they have, asking what it could be. When told to go to the doctor they say they have no medical insurance, no money to pay, etc and the others are like “Just go, this could be serious.” Like OK, just materialise money out of thin air then. It’s like they think everyone actually has an emergency fund but just doesn’t want to dip into it. It makes me think there’s no hope for humanity, when so many people are like this, not even wanting to believe how poor other people are, there will never be enough appetite for change to actually change things.
CurseAvoidertax office bruh moment
tax office bruh moment - Lemmygrad
i forget to file my taxes bc health and no income. get the mail that i have one month to file my taxes and they will apply a 50$ late fee. i email the office, telling them i am currently on welfare and waiting on a disability claim, so i basically have no income to report either way. i ask if they would consider waiving the fee. Super nice polite email. i get the response back today. verbatim: “Sir, We cannot agree to your request to waive the late fee.” that’s fucking it. not even a hello, not even a “sorry but”, just go fuck yourself i guess lol. there is a “best regards” at the end but this shit was tacked on by their signature so I don’t count it. fuck this, and then they wonder why people sound entitled when they’re on welfare. it’s because if you don’t fight for your scraps of bread you won’t even have crumbs left to eat. tbh the fee itself is okay, i think they owe me a refund so it’ll probably just get absorbed. it’s more the sheer contempt in the email and i really hope i don’t get audited now lmao cause there’s a few things they shouldn’t find out!! (probably won’t but you never know with these bureaucrats).
Earlier today, I was thinking about the way Liberals define Fascism. And then stumbled upon this Twitter post.

the isn’treal just pirated hundreds of people and it’s crickets, no major uproar, not even that much Hasbara this time, just… nothing even hearing from one of the IOF mercs on the livestream, “we’ve done this hundreds of times before”, with total impunity torn between thoughts of adventurism, fedposting, doomerism, and all those unpleasant emotions
What are your thoughts about a Lemmygrad Minecraft server?
What are your thoughts about a Lemmygrad Minecraft server? - Lemmygrad
So, i was thinking about setting up a Minecraft server for the lemmygrad community, and i wanted to know, you think its a good idea? would you join? and if you would, what kind of server would you like? I think it would be great for the community to have a 3rd space like that, but i dont even know if any of you even play Minecraft.
Feeling Depressed and Hating Life
Feeling Depressed and Hating Life - Lemmygrad
I am depressed because of so many things: my uncertain future, my lack of a real-life support network, the fact that AeronMelon is running out of time for their donations. Nothing is going right and I am fed up. I am angry and tired, but I feel powerless. Why is no one able to help me? Why is no one able to help AeronMelon and their child? Why is my life so unfair?
Had my foot surgery this afternoon - thanks so much for the help!
Had my foot surgery this afternoon - thanks so much for the help! - Lemmygrad
I wouldn’t have been able to have it without the help I received from here. Thanks so much. Now I have to wait for it to heal up to see if it cleared all the infection. In other news, I had a physiotherapy appointment this morning and since I’ve had very little improvement in mobility, inflammation, etc and some issues are actually getting worse the physiotherapist has finally decided, several YEARS after my stroke, to refer me for a 6 week course of rehabilitation. You’d think they’d give someone as much rehabilitation as they need, straight after a stroke, but no. Not on the NHS’s watch. After my stroke I spent ages on the waiting list, and then had several years of having a physio appointment once every 2-4 months, where they basically just give me some exercises to do and now are shocked pikachu fact that I still can’t walk, dress myself or anything else properly. And this 6 week course of rehabilitation is literally just one appointment a week for 6 weeks. Like that’s going to make any difference after all this time. And the physio outright told me that I can’t keep having physio appointments now. Basically she implied that I’m clogging up the NHS appointments now, taking too many for myself when the waiting lists are so long. I’m resigned to the fact that physio isn’t working and I’ll always be disabled but what worries me is in about 2ish years time I’ll be reassessed for disability benefits again, and if I’m not still having some type of physio or rehabilitation for this stroke they will use that against me. I was reassessed for benefits right after having my stroke and that time they gave me zero points, stopped my payments and I had to go through appeal, and part of their reasoning was “You are not having rehabilitation for the stroke” even though I was on the waiting list. So next time if I say “I had rehabilitation and physio for several years, it didn’t give much improvement and I was discharged,” the NHS benefit Nazis will say “zero points, no more money for you!” They use someone not having treatment for a condition as evidence that the condition doesn’t affect them. It’s so stupid, not everyone can be cured and should we be expected to have pointless treatment indefinitely? Oh and I even have to wait a month for the rehabilitation to start. Still with the NHS I suppose I should count myself lucky it’s starting so soon.
