I wouldn’t say that I enjoy it necessarily, but I heard an MRI machine recently for the first time and it makes the most bizarre collection of sometimes comically comouter-y sounds. People told me it would be loud but I didn’t know what type of sounds I would be hearing lol.
I work in a place where machinery is always whirring and I don’t find it particularly enjoyable. Our machines are more just sort of droning as opposed to something interesting.
You sound like a pleasant individual
Yeah…I’m just so tired all the time lol. I met a friend online who lives like 3 hours from me. Turns out it’s hard to even meet halfway a lot of the times because we are so tired.
I really just need everything to be more low effort in terms of socialization lol
I feel you. I never like someone initially. I have no idea how people do that. I have to get to know people in order to tell whether or not I like them. It’s one of the many reasons I’ve never really tried dating much.
Can someone explain to me why the receipt says that on it? Waffle fries are a menu item, but where does “blue” come from here?
Consider my mind thoroughly boggled
I work in a hospital. Had a very young patient die that way recently. I don’t work directly with the patients, but I am very tangentially involved in the process of determining whether or not an organ is viable for transplant. The case basically had me going “what the fuck”. They had their whole life ahead of them.
One of the minor hosts of Mythbusters died that way too.
The fragility of life is terrifying.
I always wonderee why they did the same with dog and cat coat colors and etc.
The only one I’ve really seen this happen with so far is avgn
How and why is your bed absorbing moisture during the day? I get if you’re saying sweat from sleeping in it, but otherwise I’m confused.
Personally, I use a very thin, non-fitted sheet as my blanket, so I don’t think any of the bed is really more or less impacted than others on having stuff piled on top of it.
I do get what you’re saying, but most people nowadays just type rather than write.
When I write, I mostly write in print, but I actually seem to have a bid of hybrid cursive going on in there.
I’ve been trying to figure out what to do in my life and this is tentatively on my bucket list. Problem is it’s crazy expensive and I don’t have use for it afterwards!
How did the process of getting the cert go for you?
I seem to be more vulnerable to mental struggles than a lot of people I know irl. When I went through what was the worst time in my life (so far lol…I’m a vulnerable person ig), I had to go to work every day to a place that traumatized me. I was on FMLA temporarily, but I couldn’t get on with that forever. Gotta make money to live lol. My career is not also one where you can hop around that easy.
Anyway, I decided I wanted a tattoo to remind me to be strong and keep going. I wanted it in a visible place so I could look at it. Every day for many weeks on the shuttle bus into work, I cried. Every day for many months on the shuttle bus into work, I would do breathing exercises and then look at the tattoo to remind myself to be strong. I have motivational wristbands that I also wear daily, but the tattoo I think was first.
I tried to look at the world around me. The trees, the people, the buildings, etc. Everything. I would observe them truly and wholly, and I would become amazed by them. Amazed at the “miracle” (I’m an atheist, so it’s maybe not the right word exactly) of living creatures around me and the vast and complex devices and structures we’ve made.
Very slowly…painfully slowly…life became easier. It’s still fucking hard, but stuff like that helps.
tl;dr - 1. Have a trinket to remind you of your own strength. 2. Try to take a step back for a moment and really and truly intently try observe your surroundings with a sense of wonder.
Best of luck to you all! You fucking got this!
Yeah it’s mostly fine for the most part. Just occasionally it gets to me. People describe it as such an immense pleasure that I wish I could experience something like that at least once in my life. Oh well.
Desire? I would say not really. Very occasionally yes and fleeting.
But more it’s like missing a sense. Image all of your friends and family talk about how amazing chocolate tastes. But you were born without a sense of taste. Because people talking about the taste of chocolate are everywhere around you and you’ll never get to know what it tastes like, it bothers you on occasion. You never crave chocolate because you can’t taste anyway, but you’d just like to know what everyone tastes sometimes.
Except replace chocolate with sex/relationships. It’s a bit more significant than chocolate because essentially all forms of media prominently feature sex/relationship. It’s ubiquitous. And many people’s sense of life purpose comes from the outcome of that (children). And man the way people describe what an orgasm is like, it sounds like freaking heroin or something. I’d like to just once be able to experience something that powerful and pleasurable. Most of the time I live with it and am unbothered, but occasionally it leaves me feeling really left out and at some times not even the same species.
I feel this. Getting there myself. Part of the problem is that I can’t experience sexual pleasure and I have a hard time experiencing sexual attraction. But I really wish I could experience what those endorphins feel like even once! But even doing it myself, it doesn’t work that way.
To my knowledge, I don’t seem to have any physical abnormalities. I’ve been to the doc for a checkup before there. Nerves just must not be hooked up right or something.
One thing that my brain is bothered by for whatever reason is that he uses the same character for both voiced and unvoiced forms of “th”. That may very well be the proper usage, but for some reason my brain doesn’t like it! Dunno why!
Well low-dose antipsychotics are a thing, too. I’m on them and I don’t feel “bad” or anything. I can never tell if they are helping me or not tho, same as any other psych med I’ve tried. Only difference is that I have not had any behavioral dyscontrol at work since taking them. May or may not be related. I never know. At least I’m no longer being threatened to be terminated.
Fairly indifferent, like the other user. I have no negative or positive expectations. We’ll see what life brings this week.
Wishing the best for you all. :)
Well it is a job, but it’s also a relationship. The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. In the OP, the one person presumably has a job where they are working outside of the home. The other person’s job is to cook inside of the home.
In fact, thinking about it like a job might be even better because then you can set clearer boundaries, like “days off/vacations” from cooking.
In general, it seems like the stay at home spouse is expected to be “always on”, but people get burnt out and relationships get strained that way. People need more breaks and clearly defined delineations for that.
