And even in her numbers, she was proudly proclaiming that it was 42 meals (PLUS SNACKS) for 3 people. That's only 2 meals a day.

To put JM and Lee's claims into context, prisons have a food budget of around £2pp per day, and that's with the benefit of large scale wholesale pricing and supplementary veg from their gardens. It's still barely enough.

I've also got adhd and autism (obvs diagnosed 100 years before anyone else was) and I feel so ashamed of letting people down that I refuse to do anything unless I'm 100% sure that I'll do it, I'll even say I'm not sure I'll do it until I've done it. Jack using adhd as an excuse just adds to the negative perception.

I wonder if Jack usually stocks up on Pringles in the run up to Christmas when they are on offer to last her through the year? What will she do this year if they aren't due to price rises? A couple of ml filler and a lip flip? .
She's been out kidnapping bees as they prepare for winter. They are arranged in individual colour coded hivelets in the shed, ready to deploy as required.

And she has expensive tastes across the board. She’s clearly a sucker for being influenced and trends, she loves designer clothes and jewellery, she likes art and buying books, sideboards, crockery, spoons etc forever. It must be compulsive because most people who’ve experienced THE POVERTY are a bit more circumspect and choosy when it comes to the choices chosen and tend not to fritter.
if she wasn’t such a massive dick she could’ve been quite an interesting person to follow. The poverty larp was misjudged from the very beginning-she chose the one thing she clearly has no skills in and it showed. If she’d gone with clothes and objets at least she’d have had a genuine love for her topic and could’ve indulged her love of dress up.

Does that include the doritos tamales?

She always gives me ‘my kids trying to bullshit me when they were 13’ vibes.
I know! Some of the old guff our son, step daughters and nieces and nephews have come out with over the years have made me HOOT and FIZZ before I put on a serious face. Maybe that's why I find LEAVE ME ALONE Jack so entertaining ?

Ah yeah we’ve had some corkers. If you can keep your sanity teenagers are as good entertainment as toddlers. Let me BREATHE Jack makes me

You guys are obviously all evil or whatever and I don't have time to keep up with 50 pages a day (100 hours a week minimum) so I'm gonna try to make myself stop, but I'm glad I'm not the only one to see this. And to counteract what has been said against you I'd like to say it's genuinely heartwarming how nice you are as a community.

And gas in the radiators . At the same time she was giving advice on cutting energy and heating bills on the world wide web.

Her 2020 shed lockdown filming days were epic though. THAT MAN was producing a series of comforting food programmes on his phone. Jack was trying and failing to cobble together arse cringing shite despite major sponsors assisting her. And this after making a holy show of herself on SM, getting DKL and causing mayhem about how was she was the best person for the job. Good times .

Jack really has painted us as nefarious, mendacious, trolls to the Hellsite, and I think it's lovely every time a new frau is genuinely surprised by how much we're not. We're good ninnies really.

BIB For thread title? Both for the succinct hilarity but mostly because of this lovely dog.

I feel like I’ve arrived at the party just after the main event. But everyone’s still up for dancing so it’s all good.

I sometimes feel sorry for her but then remember she took money off a squig on benefits and only recently added the ‘but only if you can afford if’ to her blog beg. For that reason I think she’s a morally bankrupt human being who deserves to become an obscure memory for most people. She needs to get a job and realise the game is up. She’s had a good run.

Sorry, mildly relevant merail
Agree totally. I struggle with these things too and have coping mechanisms much like yours, I will not commit to things unless I'm extremely sure I'll be there and turn up. But before I got better at this stuff (still not great honestly but am at least at the point I know my limits better) I did know that crushing feeling of pressure to do things I actually want to do and the complete inability to do them. So I empathise with Jack to the point that I know it's hard, but not to the point that it excuses things. Eventually you have to learn your limits and even when she's overextended herself like Patreon, you stop the charges and admit you can't do it. The thought of getting money monthly for stuff that I'm 2 years out of date in makes me genuinely come out in a cold sweat.
