Shit dude. That would financially ruin me after the first payment. (I don’t get paid in dollars nor euros, but the company does.)

What job do you do now? How bad was the pay cut? (Or unexpected pay boost)

Do you still take Ritalin? I’ve been taking Vyvanse for a year now, switching from a Concerta generic. I’m indifferent, but the lisdexamfetamine lasts wayyy longer. Also I get this strange general sense of “something great is going to happen very soon”.

Venlafaxine and Buproprion helped major with anxiety and somewhat with depression. Instead of getting anxious, I now get grumpy.

Before it was “oh shit, oh fuck”, now it’s “ugh shit, what fucking now”

Saw you were sitting at 0 points. Who tf downvotes someone’s thoughtfully written non-hostile comments?

Btw thanks for the brain wave info. I thought that was like, hippie stuff, but no it’s like, legit science.

yeah, when I take breaks from it/run out

Any tips on how to wake up during nightmares

I’ve had vivid nightmares for the last 10 years due to antidepressants and on/off cannabis use.

Even if the situation is terrifying, I eventually found peace in knowing I’m getting rest.

Let’s say I wake up now and can’t go back to sleep. It’ll be what, like 2am/3am? Now the rest of my day is fucked. Was it really worth waking up?

in capitalism I wanted to be an astronaut, but now I have a substance abuse problem and write spaghetti code for a corporate machine that would not give a shit if I dropped dead tomorrow.

Ah

So she’s having a shit day.

I can celebrate at that at, least

sorry I have legit head slowness

how do I play it

She died? May jesus provide her with a nickname that reflects the way she lived her life.

In very unrelated news, I got half of my daily steps in, so I’m going to celebrate that. I am not celebrating the death of a politician, I am celebrating achieving my difficult goal of 4400 steps.

Don’t worry, they’ll probably build taxpayer-subsidised nuclear power plants for electricity which won’t be available for access for the general public.

Nice try

The real biden, being the oldest boomer of all boomers, would have phone called me

Was dealing with a rental agent without a pfp, tried to guess his age with a message, see if he’d type “…” or asked “are you black”, but that first fucking phone call confirmed it. YES WOUTER I SAID WILL SEE YOU IN 30-40 MINUTES. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 18 MINUTES.

like, I can’t talk on the phone while driving. I could die. Someone else could die. I could get my phone confiscated in the Municipality of the City of Cape Town.

I know that’s not a problem for you, You just use the phone to WhatsApp hour long voicenotes to your ex-wife who blocked you and Chrome search “big bobs oily sex party”

My fucking OTPs, my bank, my job and my literal lifeline. I wish I didn’t need an app for any of that shit but our generations do

That’s a very good point and I 100% agree with you.

Although you get what I was trying to say. More about the power dynamics.

Looking at the job market now, I’ve got a liter of arsehole-safe bleach and a camera config setup just in case of the 0.000000001% chance my boss requires a certain image.

Even if it turns out he truly had no fucking idea about the slaves and was completely oblivious to the illegal pornography framed on the monster’s walls, he still did a bunch of fucked up shit

The first thing that comes to mind for most people is Monica Lewinsky. If the most powerful man in the world asks you to do something you are not comfortable with, can you truly say no?

Even if you’re not American, if Biden asks me to bleach my asshole and send him a photo, I’d do it, because I don’t want the CIA to kill my dogs with mystery gas or somehow Pegasus my 20 year old microwave.

Oh, I know.

It’s just funny, Rand Paul watching him mumble stupid shit at the Trump rally, and then thinking “Wow. What an excellent orator. We should make him the house speaker”.

Republicans won the house, right? So I doubt the next incumbent house speaker is not going to be a total piece of shit.

I doubt Elon will even acknowledge a nomination. House Speaker looks like a job where you can’t fly your private jets coast to coast nor tweet all fucking day nonstop.

Yes please give that man with that barely coherent Pretoria-English × US-attempting hybrid accent the job title of “Speaker”.
