Worked 7-8 years until I realized that the comfy "mindless" jobs are rapidly becoming automated. Turns out simple work is simple to get rid of.

Long enough on antipsychotics (used to treat bipolar as well) and you probably won't be able to give them up
Have tried to quit olanzapine twice after a few years and both times got hypomanic, so can't sleep more than two hours every two days, and also can only eat literally half a meal a day until I feel like I'll throw up if I continue
Someone else said that olanzapine made it so they have zero appetite even after quitting
So wouldn't recommend if you can avoid it

Birds were my first obsession as a child, even more so than dinosaurs, and ever since reading The Peregrine a couple months back I think the obsession has returned. I went on my second birding "expedition" yesterday while I'm still too autistic to use binoculars if there's any other people in sight, I saw a fuckin Great Crested Grebe and absolutely lost my shit, so yeh I think birdwatching might just be the one for me.

The crossroad has passed, I made my choice to move forward towards what my soul yearns for. I needed to kill my online-persona, not in a gay youtuber way or anything; the me who existed to all those people I played vidya with or talked to on discord. As much as I liked to pretend that I was the same online as I was in real life this was not the case. In addition having an online presence at all in a public way is counter-intuitive to what I want to do with my life. So I deleted everything, and will not be regressing. Has anyone else cut out all the hedonistic stuff in their life? I stopped playing vidya over two years ago, stopped smoking weed four years ago, and now have detached myself from the false socialization that occurs online.

Anxiety disorder, but also undiagnosed problems with worrying symptoms that like I said, are just going through the system and taking a long time to deal with. I'm getting worse though, and the anxiety has gotten so bad that I need to deal with it on my own with the acceptance of a bad outcome. And to be clear I'm not just pissing around, I've had worsening symptoms, biopsies, and increasingly worrying signs with no improvement despite different medications etc.

After a certain point it affects your life, because its always on your mind. Can't work right, can't enjoy anything, fucks with your relationships. Great people have met death and terror head on, whether its facing disease or war or whatever, and written about it. I want something to help me deal with the worst possibilities because my mind is inseparably fixated to them

Would you agree that the main difference between someone who's controlling, and someone who's overprotective, is intent? That the behaviors are similar, with the main difference being that someone who's controlling behaves that way for their own desire to control, while someone who's overprotective behaves as such for what they perceive as the benefit of the person or animal they're protective of?
Controlling behavior is universally considered abusive, whereas overprotective behavior is typically considered a forgivable flaw if not a positive trait. Does intent really matter so much?

It's not impossible but I also found it too annoying after a while, I did match with a semi cute girl every 2 weeks or so though but it went nowhere, except when I was traveling.

I don't know the nitty gritty of it since I don't use dating apps but I'm assuming your "interactions" with said whores plays a part in how you often you're presented to more whores later on. After all, not like they can know if you actually met up with them, the best they can do is how much and how long you interacted with the other.

Is this really what Tinder is like for the average man? Bleak. The algorithm they use has to be seriously biased in women’s favour or something, because I’m like a 5/10, and when I created my profile I hit the 99+ likes benchmark almost immediately. I can easily get hundreds of matches and messages within a few days, and that’s with only swiping right ~20% of the time. I’ve only ever hit my swipe limit once.

>inb4 “omg ur so shallow and u just want to fuck chad, i hate women!!!”
Nah. Looks play into it to some extent— there’s a certain base threshold, like if someone’s appearance is actively off-putting it’s an immediate no, but the vast majority of men aren’t in that category and my standards aren’t unrealistic. I try to go for men in the average range, similar to myself, and will swipe left on guys who seem significantly out of my league. A lot of the time when I swipe left it’s based on a lack of common interests, weird shit in the guy’s profile that seems like a red flag, or us having incompatible lifestyles/personalities.

Self-improvement only gives you good feelings if you feel you can take advantage of it in my experience. I used to work out and force myself to be in shape / hygenic / etc, when I was in college since I wanted to use the fruits of that labor to hang out with girls and stuff. When you feel like you have no future though, the opposite of what you're describing happens - self-improvement is pointless.

Like, great, now what? We're always making long eye-contact when the bus pulls up and she's standing waiting to board, but there's just no opening!

gender dysphoria person: 'i have bad feelings when i look in the mirror.'

so, then, hypothetically speaking: 'the chicken has to cross the street. why (did the pronoun'ded chicken do it?)?'

i know right? had to make it about the pronoun (is it?).

hence, you go to the therapiss and they hypnotize you, hypothetically as described earlier, implying you're somewhere on the other side of life, the street the chicken is not on or it's subjective house, some abstract concept or something. a naive hallucination theory or naive hypnosis, or some such naive view of the world, as like, drug report. 'skepsism rules.'

what i think i know, 'am effectively aware,' is that ad conscious qua current memory, the complaints i would have the therapist address is exactly that 'i pull out my eyes, but i'm really attempting to grab them, hence not real,' 'this aint exactly heaven,' 'you go to a therapist, ask for a lime, and they give you a kettle,' and last but not least 'shits so cache,' like 'PC! Monitor, that's a weird place to deliver patri dish maladapted assists for squatting at pot heads conspiratorily, i mite add,' hence 'the pronoun only accepts cash.'

persecution, or forgiveness rules? but i don't know which. we talk about inside rules, like should I grab at her, i don't usually think like this, this is delusional, it's going a mile a minute, if i grab will the cache be forsaken for my appetite, am i real or not real, how's grades, what time is it, did i forget to take my pills, are we there yet, yadda yadda? occupancy rules.

Anything specific that shows that they actually looked at my profile/bio is good. “How was your day/weekend?” is fine but generic. “What’s up?” is sort of boring but acceptable.

As I get older, I see I'm extremely picky about fiction. I can read any non-fiction book if I like the topic (so no, don't think "the history of non-binary women farting in Thailand" is something I'll read, I mean something cool), but if it's a mediocre fictional book I end up dropping it.
I think it's the author's framing more than anything else. If it's a dry history book, at least it's talking about the subject in an objective lens, and I come in to read about the history so I'm prepared. If I'm reading a fictional book but it sucks in similar ways, I'll drop it because I see it as more of a symptom that the author is boring/dumbass and I lose motivation to finish it.

It's a smokescreen of the real issue. Supply and demand. Immigrants means there's more people in an area, which means that demand goes up. But the supply is the same. Which means that those same goods will cost more. So if you're a native, the competition gets fiercer for each new person. This applies to everything, such as jobs, groceries or even education.

Met this kind black lady who said she was a minister, did funerals and weddings. We got to talking about Jesus and she said to her daughter, "I'm talking to the man of God" and I ministered to her, helped her through some of her problems and trauma.

She said that I have a calling and should be a minister, told her I've been studying and working for ministry, cause I have. But I don't want to get any money for it, just want to minister purely out of love for the Lord Christ, so I gotta work a job and make a living.

Today was brutal, 10+ hours in that Alabama sun on the asphalt, neck is so red. On the ride home with the construction crew, the driver put on this Gospel song and we just sat and listened to it in silence. Rocked me to the soul, hope you enjoy it.

The accent shit I do find a bit annoying but thats more specific to jeets, and it wouldn't annoy me as much if they spoke at a normal volume and weren't loudly jabbering in large groups everywhere I go. What bothers me more is when they come to a new country claiming to be students, yet they barely understand English and are taking some fake program at a diploma mill in a bid to game the system and get permanent residency, while working and sending all their income back home and failing to contribute to the economy. Got no real issues with people being different in some ways, like wearing cultural clothes, cooking cultural foods, celebrating holidays and traditions. But when you move to a new country with a different culture you need to adjust your behavior to accomodate their values, not expect their culture to adjust to accommodate you. If too many people come to a new place and refuse to integrate, in a generation or so it causes massive problems and the original culture is destroyed. They are turning our country into a low trust society through their shameless abuse of social services, and they drive wages down by flooding the job market with unskilled workers who will accept shit pay. They lack the fundamental cultural values that make our society great, and have an every man for himself attitude with no qualms about scamming people. Their fundamental loyalty is to their home country, and they have no shame about taking advantage of services in their new country to get ahead. If they had the same values as we have, their home country wouldn't be an underdeveloped shithole.

NTA but “they’re too different from us” is a perfectly valid critique of immigration, especially when it’s occurring on a large scale. My own father’s parents were immigrants, and I welcome people wanting to make a better life for themselves, but the numbers of immigrants Canada is accepting every year is completely unsustainable, both for our resources and our culture (if we even have one at this point).

In my family’s case, my paternal grandfather was able to bring his family to Canada because he had a degree from a technical school and was a skilled tradesman providing a necessary service. My grandparents always worked hard to provide for their family, and would’ve considered it extremely shameful to accept charity or misuse services. They also spoke English and quickly integrated themselves into the local community. It seems like many people (not all) from the recent wave of immigrants in Canada don’t have this attitude, and it’s an increasingly visible issue because immigration is occurring in massive numbers compared to in the 1960s when my grandparents came. The recent wave of Indian immigration here seems like it’s already incurring a backlash for this reason, and I worry that the problem will only get worse.

I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t dislike anyone on the basis of skin colour or race, and have had close family friends who are South Asian immigrants. There are good and kind people from any culture. I’ve even been to India, and there are many great things about the country and culture, although they do have some serious societal problems. But in general I have to agree that their cultural understanding of the social contract is largely incompatible with Canadian culture. That’s understandable though: when you live in a highly populated and relatively poor country where resources are scarce and there’s a lot of crime and no social safety net, you naturally adopt the worldview of doing whatever it takes to meet your own needs, even if that means cheating or being dishonest or taking advantage of other people. It’s what you have to do in order to survive. But when you bring a large number of people with this worldview into a relatively wealthy country with low crime and a robust social safety net, there will naturally be serious cultural clashes and the locals will become frustrated.

This isn’t even touching on the fact that their culture has wildly different gender norms, and condones sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour towards women to a level that is difficult for people from Western countries to understand. I experienced this myself when I was in India, and have had friends who have been sexually harassed by groups of Indian international students and have been hesitant to report it for fear of seeming racist.

I agree with you that people should learn the language of the country where they live. It doesn't do anybody any good to isolate themselves from the surrounding culture and refuse to integrate in any meaningful way. In terms of people sending all their money back to their home countries, it's difficult because obviously it's really bad for the economy of the country they moved to, but at the same time immigration laws make it so that they can't bring their families over with them very easily. It makes sense to me that a father would immigrate to a country where he could make more money and then use that money to support his family that he left behind. If his family moved with him, then that money would remain in the new country, but the downside would be that now there is an entire family pulling from social services. One possible solution could be to implement some sort of law limiting the amount of money/assets that can be transferred out of country, but that's a whole new can of worms. I'm not sure I'd want the government to have that much control over personal finances.

You also mentioned the problem of immigrant workers who are willing to work for less driving down the average salary in the area. I think having more reasonable minimum wage laws would probably help with this a lot. If companies know they have to pay a certain base rate no matter who they hire, they will be much more likely to hire the most qualified candidate rather than just going with whoever will accept the lowest salary.

I don't think that "bad culture" is the reason why underdeveloped countries are underdeveloped. It's obviously a lot more complicated than that.
