Hey you sound just like me. If your going to move, perhaps somewhere like PA? It’s got the benefit of being a battleground state, and there’s more than enough rural areas, even relatively close to the cities, where you can continue your hermitage. I’m doing something similar (:

It’s actually all my fault, everyone.

I’m just incompetent all around 💁

Make a meal, you will get better at it every time and figure out your own method and feel. New things I use recipes for as reference. At first you will just wanna take your time and don’t stress yourself out.

It took me a while to realize how fundamentally important boundaries were to my mental health and well being. It’s super simple, so its often overlooked. It solves many many issues.

☺️

I too am an expert on all things lol

Remember when all the discussions were happening in just a couple top posts, mostly meta posts? We’ve come a long way for sure and I’m proud of everyone.

Every bit helps, I’d imagine.

For me, it was the year I turned 22. At that point I was older than both parents when they had me. I realized how incompetent i was, and how little life I had lived, completely incapable of raising a human. My parents sacrificed a shit load just for me to be alive, and did their best in the time they were born into, and all the external forces at work on a young mind, and the choices at hand. I still don’t have kids lol.

I’m in the US, and I just started going to the doc in my whole adult life. My arms are bricked up, tingling, and spasms. Doc says it’s carpal tunnel, which checks out. I can’t afford anything beyond my general care atp. Apparently I’ll need surgery and physical therapy asap, I work with my hand in the trades. I’d be screwed without them as I have zero savings, etc. The doc gave me referrals with nowhere to go. I asked and they said “well your insurance is tricky, find somewhere”. Lovely!

I understand that this is the place and times I exist in, but hell if I can’t bitch about it (:

Judging by your username, and some of the context, you seem similar to me. These people are right. Go, and stay on top of it. I put off my health my entire life and now I am hurting. Life may be suffering, but it’s worth it ime, and it’s worth the fight to make it better. I hope you find something worthwhile to crawl out of that hole for. Sorry I don’t mean to intrude, I’m just super empathetic to your situation, went through it bad, and I’m just crawling out of the dark tunnel now, in my 30s. (:

I would like to thank everyone on here for the last two months or whatever it’s been from the start of the migration, and to the people just coming over, and those who were here already. I actually feel like I’ve grown as an individual in my time here. I’m starting to see certain patterns in my own behavior and working on them thanks to the content and the engaging discussions on here. I used to avoid interaction and lost all hope, but you are all really awesome. Thank you <3

If I have a question that I’d usually search on reddit for, i just make a post here instead and drum up content for the future, plus I usually get way more than I asked for from people as almost everyone here is a damn genius and usually very polite and understanding.

I agree with the niche stuff, but I will say I almost like having to create a post for my inquiry, and though not much engagement, what I do get is really helpful, more personal info from a few kind and knowledgeable people. So I think perhaps we should readjust our expectations and enjoy this for what it is.

Deep space photos make me feel warm and fuzzy

They did that a tiny bit in early math classes. In high school, none. I failed every year cause I didn’t care about what X is. I erased the problem. No more problem. I was a dumb kid with shit teachers. And here I am using math everyday and finding I’m fairly decent at mental math and weird fractions. Guess I’m a hand on learner. I dunno. I agree with you.

Warrior is pretty good. It’s a Bruce Lee screenplay. The choreography is great, and hits on a lot of americam social political and economic themes.

I use math everyday as well in the trades. Not too complex math, but my point was not the math itself, rather the way it was taught to me and the context given, which was none. I’m definitely not saying don’t teach math, quite the opposite. I’m a hands on learner. Math for the sake of math to 15 yr old me seemed like an empty exercise. If I could do it again, I’d probably be good at it. But that’s life.

I’m no longer dumping my trash in landfills, I’m burning it instead.
