The two wars going on have been pretty tragic, ESPECIALLY the Palestine vs Israel conflict in recent.

AI in its infancy making employment harder in some fields, most notably the arts and writing. It's also really sad how academia is becoming/can become.

Politics are a shitshow.
Groomer shit now being official from Nickelodeon is insane.

Because I'd been under health anxiety and enduring symptoms a lot from certain diagnoses, I'd been chronically online for a while and only now have been limiting time online. Like man I never used to block people, but now, especially with Twatter with the lewd ads, engagement/interaction baiting (even trying to farm clicks under popular posts with irrelevant content), it is completely more corporate than ever to be online as a viewer/general browser.

It was really fun when people posted shit for fun. But now people just have their lives online chronically. The weirdest part about this is when people film themselves doing good things for ppl and ppl don't see it as selfish content in some aspect. Not saying that content is all bad, but it's concerning how people seem to be more impressionable now.

Just my random 2c.

feels based having it out

you're absolutely fine man, I don't even think im entitled to ppl reading my posts @ all. people have their own grinds and whatnot. and yeah im doing better post surgery, impending doom is mostly gone, it's so weird thinking more clearly

yeah that's fair enough as a narcissist she probably won't understand and thinks her actions are justified but i think what you did was reasonable, like there is only so much abuse a man can take before it becomes obvious that it's just not worth it anymore. really shitty that you had to go through that and good that you're out of there now

I blocked her because she suddenly became verbally abusive which put all of her past manipulation and emotional abuse into perspective. She basically cornered me at a show I was playing shortly after and gave me a really insulting, dismissive "apology" and after that I realized she actually has never considered my feelings. So I'm not really interested in making amends at this point.

how are you guys doing quoting, this shit just isn't working for me at all

anyways

MIB - great to hear that you're doing better following your procedure, hope this means you've hit that 50% and you won't have to deal with that visceral pain anymore cuz that shit sounded terrifying

popsi - I know the feeling of procrastinating shit at work all too well tho I think if you got a sweetheart manager then you have quite a lot of rope to burn and time to sort your shit out before things start to get real, hope you can get some of your focus back once all the other shit settles down. my car had some shit wrong with it recently too, i can still drive it but idk it doesn't feel good. got a quote of about $350 to fix it so i'm kinda dodging it for now and hopefully my car doesn't explode. Also got a giant hole in my rear bumper but that's like $700 so lol

ngl i also missed your initial post with all the shit that was happening but glad your uncle is recovering well now and hope you get some time to catch up eventually. seemed like you were on a bit of time pressure with looking for a new place based on your first post but seems like things are calm with that now and you're managing it which is good to hear too, is there like a certain date you have to be out by if you've told your housemates that you aren't staying?

the thing with the girl, did you gradually distance or did you just block her suddenly one day with no real explanation? based on what you posted sounds like she is fuming a bit rn but hope you can escape with minimal drama, with people like that i feel like they just need to find something else to get triggered by then they will forget about you
