Random Thought of the Day

[Otherside]

Seeing the comments on sick-note culture and how sick-notes are benefits claims, is very odd.

I've been signed off sick by my GP for two periods in total, both for mental health reasons. On neither occasion, did my GP write the diagnosis on the reason part of it, and it was instead filled as "low mood." This was at my request, I do not want my employer to be aware of my mental health diagnosis. If that was disclosed, it could very well lead to discriminatory behaviour on my employers part. Despite that being illegal, it still happens.

On neither of these occasions was I a benefit claimant, nor was I entitled to claim any. It led to the company paying CSP, after which I would have been on SSP (though thankfully, never gotten to SSP level). Both of which are, nothing to do with the benefits system, and are paid by my employer.

I sure as hell do not trust a "specialist assessor", who is almost certainly not going to be a doctor, and if this parties history is anything to go back - will very likely be outsourced to Capita, who will give assessors a three day training course and targets - to assess when and how my mental health issues affect my ability to work, and when time off is needed.

(Also, you're gone next election. You know, we know it, you're polling very low, there's not going to be a magic turnaround where the numbers suddenly shoot up for you. Stop putting it off.)

Yup, the rumors are true. I am knocked up big time. To protect the privacy of my family and loved ones, a lot of information has purposefully been omitted from this announcement. Please understand :3 Anyways, very excited to exploit this child for views, and I'm so excited you're gonna help me do it. Love you all!

The fact theres still like a 50% chance this is a psyop is making me go insane

i've been gaslight so much by this channel i don't believe a single thing i see on it

theres videos of her on BFT and hypothetical nonsense from literal days ago where she does not have a belly. she is not pregnant it is okay u can rest

I don't know what BFT even is.

Because of her cynical dark sense of humour it makes it seem fake. [..]

KAROLINE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I think this is one of the videos people are talking about that was filmed/posted recently but she's wearing a kind of baggy hoody and the table is blocking her so not very conclusive. Though skimming through it she makes a joke about being a big swollen blue ball and wanting to make that joke but not having people she can use middle school humour on like 27 minutes in. That sounds like it could be a pregnancy joke because why would she be swollen? Not that that would stop it potentially being a bit as she'd obviously planned this whole thing either way.



Ah nevermind this was uploaded 3 weeks ago so at the very least she's not as far along as in that video thumbnail (assuming this one wasn't filmed ages ago for some reason) At least one of these was filmed recently because someone said that someone brought up seeing the film Civil War in the cinema which came out recently but I don't want to watch all of that I don't think:



"I've thought about burning alive a lot though cause I had this thought like what if I was around like during the pilgrim times if I came here. I would totally be burnt alive. There's not a reality where I wouldn't be burnt for being a witch."

Oh so we all just thinking about this now I see.

"Yeah that's true"

"And so I've thought about it quite a bit."

LOL I love how he just automatically agrees.

I can see why she potentially might want to do this as the topic of deepfakes comes up in that video where she's wearing the blue hoody but at the same time the video is very sincere in a way that is borderline offensive to women who are actually struggling with fertility issues so I have no idea.



This video was uploaded a month ago and they're looking up weird prank stuff and briefly look past a pregnancy test that's obviously fake and she kind of reads it out quickly before they skip on.



There's the fact that this is very topical right now in online discourse. With people freaking out that gen z aren't pregnant yet and half of women aged 30 in the UK don't have kids and things like that. Comedians like to focus on these areas of tension.

And I know how these festivals work first you have bonfire night but then people are busy so there's a 3 week window of fireworks instead. April Fool's day becomes too obvious so people decide to do it later.

I'm not fully convinced.

Anyway it won't top my favourite April fools joke that wasn't an April fools joke:
