Muslims in the UK

Be proud of how hard you're trying.

Anyone got any spooky jinn stories? No need to mention it happened to you directly or notjust a story? I find it fascinating 😭

Why does everyone who gets old suddenly become sentimental, you guys are spitting the same wise words I’ve been saying since I came out the womb fix up

7 beneficial posts with knowledge and islamic refutations regarding mawlids
1 post ragebaiting mawlid celebrators
Wanna guess which one got the most interaction.
Me personally I dont care for likes and comments. But I found it very odd that a single ragebait post got pushed more than a several beneficial posts.
Makes me think the algorithm deliberately pushes posts it knows will cause issues n deliberate user engagement regardless of if it good or bad

Everyone is on a different timeline.

A different path.
A different train.

A person's circumstances tell me very little.
What matters is how they move through it.

Their actions.
Their intentions.
Their character.

Because that's what stays long after everything else changes.

This is me when I see muzz and some of the silly things guy say, can anyone related?

late-Gen-Z-at-30 picture genuinely different, rather than simply “people are getting married later.”
The problem is the combination of housing costs + insecure work + AI/automation + weak wage growth + difficulty getting onto the asset ladder. Any one of those is manageable; together they can make your 30s feel much less secure.

The important nuance is that I wouldn't assume mass permanent unemployment is inevitable. The bigger risk may be persistent underemployment and instability:

You have a degree but work below your qualification level.
You get short-term contracts rather than a stable career ladder.
AI makes some junior/entry-level work disappear or become much smaller.
Companies expect fewer people to produce more.
You change jobs repeatedly because staying put doesn't produce meaningful wage progression.
You earn enough to survive but not enough to accumulate assets.
A redundancy at 32 becomes much more damaging because you've got rent/mortgage, childcare or other commitments.
And that's particularly important because your 20s traditionally weren't just about having fun — they were the accumulation decade.
You were supposed to go:

20 → education/first job → 25 → career progression → 30 → higher earnings + savings + home + family

If the first half gets disrupted, the consequences compound.

Someone who doesn't save much between 22–30 doesn't merely lose eight years of savings. They also lose investment growth, deposit accumulation, pension contributions and potentially years of career progression.

That's why I'm more concerned about economic scarring than robots suddenly eliminating half the workforce.

And AI makes the timing awkward
Late Gen Z is entering the workforce at exactly the point AI is attacking some of the traditional entry-level pathways.
Junior analyst → senior analyst → manager.

Junior developer → developer → senior developer.

Paralegal → associate → solicitor.

Graduate trainee → professional → specialist.

If AI removes a chunk of the junior work that people historically used to learn those professions, companies may eventually need fewer people at the bottom of the ladder.

That's potentially a much bigger problem than simply “AI will replace jobs.”

How do you get experienced workers if companies stop hiring inexperienced workers?

That's the structural question I'd watch.

But there's also a potentially optimistic scenario.

If AI and robotics produce enormous productivity gains, real wages could eventually rise, working hours could fall and goods/services could become dramatically cheaper. The technology itself doesn't determine who benefits — institutions, competition, taxation, labour bargaining and ownership do.

So the late Gen-Z 30s could go in two radically different directions:

Bad scenario:
AI productivity → fewer workers → weaker bargaining power → stagnant wages → expensive housing → wealth concentrates → permanent precarity.

Good scenario:
AI productivity → cheaper goods + higher productivity → higher incomes → shorter working week → new industries → productivity gains broadly distributed.

And honestly, the political fight of the 2030s may be much more about who captures AI productivity than whether AI exists.

That's why I'd be cautious about telling a 20-something today, “Don't worry, everything will work itself out by 30.”

There are genuine structural reasons to be concerned.

But I'd also avoid the opposite doom prediction: “your generation won't have careers, houses or families.”

We simply don't know that yet.

What is pretty clear is that the old formula — get a degree, get a stable job, buy a house, gradually become comfortable — is becoming much less automatic. And that means late Gen Z may have to be considerably more deliberate about building financial resilience than previous generations were.

If possible, I'd like to take this opportunity to waste everyone's time.

It know it's hard on these apps to try and find someone who could potentially be perfect for you but I have some great advice.

Just give up.

Hey everyone 😊
What's new with you guys?
