That's a skill I clearly need to refine. I don't want a big car or house, but to look someone in the eyes knowing they're 'superior' and ignoring it? Man.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
Nobody is better or worse than you for having or not having the wealth/big car/trappings of success, or social status. They aren’t superior.
My dad has this ability to strike up a conversation with anyone regardless of them being nobility or a bum, and treat them exactly the same.
You’re there to play the game. Maybe they see you as better at it. Enjoy playing, and make friends with them seeing yourself as an equal because you are

there’s been issues all throughout human history in every culture and society, like the AI hysteria for example i’m not in favor of unrestricted use by corporations but it’s gotten to like salem witch trials level of hysteria

I've subbed to a few creators who record for tens of hours and edit it down to a 35 min video. Not just a Twitch rip and they edit a ton of legit comedy into it, but they use AI. You'll notice it blatantly in the midst of really complex editing, but people don't even comment on it. It's as if you put in a lot of work, it's okay to use AI. If you make a simple low-cost video but with AI, oh boy you're killing babies in Africa.

So many youtubers will make 40+ min videos ranting about everything wrong with a game and the conclusion isn't "This thing is bad and you're bad if you like it" it's always yes this game has issues but it's so fun that I'm willing to ignore the fact that the game rapes my wallet, doesn't value my time, and crashes more often than it doesn't. It seems like our standards have never been lower.

Found a fair few creators, primarily "first time playing mmorpg" type sloppers, who practice toxic positivity and it's just as shitty as contrarian hating. Those who play a game blindly, criticize it along the way, and then wrap it up saying "it's good if you're in a certain mood" are pretty cool. Sadly, these are the ones with 30k subs who make 3 vids a year. It's just so blatant that people chase trends. That guy who made a video on the rivers of Skyrim, and not a month later you had tens of "books of skyrim", "birds of skyrim" etc. Every niche just raped to death, often in way of contrarianism.

Nobody is better or worse than you for having or not having the wealth/big car/trappings of success, or social status. They aren’t superior.

It's the kind of thing that is obvious but unless you're in a certain position, it's hard to act rational about it. "If you're unemployed, find hobbies to take your mind off of it". A friend randomly linked an all-male 'network' club, and while it looked interesting, it sounds sickening to just show up with intent to exploit one another's 'network'. Broke bro or rich CEO, the theme alone is yucky. At least sports are about practicing a sport. You can mock the CEO you keep pulling around with no second thought, but if you just sit down to talk and network.. it's all on your worth.

Everything went better than expected. My mother decided to tag along rather than simply just being my ride to the hospital, which was both a good and a bad thing. It's difficult to vocalise your suicidal ideation in front of your birthgiver but she stayed in the background for most of the conversation and only chipped in when she had something of actual value for the doctor to know.
Still, I have a knot in my stomach that hasn't fully loosened but at a minimum, I am in the system.

I hope everyone has a good Friday and a great weekend. Sorry for being a snappy cunt at the best of times.

I don't know where you guys are seeing content like this but it's nearly the exact opposite. So many youtubers will make 40+ min videos ranting about everything wrong with a game and the conclusion isn't "This thing is bad and you're bad if you like it" it's always yes this game has issues but it's so fun that I'm willing to ignore the fact that the game rapes my wallet, doesn't value my time, and crashes more often than it doesn't. It seems like our standards have never been lower.

Maybe it's our different fyp, cause I always see the opposite of that. Interesting on Youtube's part!

Currently taking community college, and I feel like I've been scammed, pretty much everything I've learned could have been figured out with a simple Google search. The professor never engages with the class, all the textbook work is through CompTIA and Cengage, which I could have payed for without going to college at all (Cengage is a fucking mess btw). And the labs are almost a complete waste of time as I already know how to work with computer hardware.

The whole point of college, community or otherwise, is to prove you can go to college. I use maybe 5% of what I leaned for my BS in my job, and that's the soft skills, the tech stuff was useless 5 minutes after I graduated.

 

[AnOminous]

Poached I’m fine with (small pan, create a vortex, slide egg into vortex, watch obsessively) but boiled, I get it wrong almost every darn time. Every egg is different, and to get that hard white, just soft enough tok for dipping without being too liquid is hard.

I use an air fryer for "soft boiled eggs." (They shouldn't actually be boiled.) It was the final way I got my success rate up to 100%. Poached, I did all that stuff and just literally NEVER got it right. I've now done perfect poached three times in a row the last three days. It feels cheesy, but those rings actually work, and 180F is the right temperature. (I spent a day turning the dial on the stovetop up microscopic intervals and using one of those infrared thermometers to figure out what temperature it corresponded to.) No vinegar, no vortex, just put them through a fine-mesh strainer to get rid of the watery part of the whites, four to six minutes depending on whether you want runny yolks or custard-like yolks.

Over-easy has also been a plague of my life. I've got that up to 90% success rate, but still routinely mess them up doing two or more.

and various members refuse to eat;
Onion, garlic

God, onion and garlic spergs drive me nuts. I've had to deal with this. They'll complain about onions and garlic, but then complain it's bland if it isn't in there, so I just started lying to them and mincing the onion and garlic finely so they weren't visible in the final product.

Idiots think they hate onions, but they actually don't.

 

[PetiteFeet]

Idiots think they hate onions, but they actually don't.

I'm one of those weirdos. As a child I could not eat any foods with large bits of onion in them. I still hate raw onions but I will cook with onions regardless because as I've aged, I've come to understand how big of a role the humble onion plays in many, many different kitchens around the world.
I'm still a picky eater but cooking for myself and slowly exploring new foods at my pace, rather than being thrown off in the deep end and be told "you can't exit the building until you've eaten five pounds of steak tartare with egg yolk and raw onions," has allowed my tastes to evolve.

Also, for the perfect soft-boiled egg:
Boil water, it needs to properly boil before you turn down the heat to a low simmer. Put the egg in the water and then start a timer for 6 minutes - personally, this is the perfect amount of runny yolk but no raw whites.
While your egg simmers, prepare an icebath. You need to shock your egg once its cooked.
Let the egg get cool enough for you to hold, then shell as you prefer. If you want, you can put some boiled water into a mug to use as a heated vessel for your egg as this helps keep your egg warmer for longer.
Serve with buttered toast, sliced into dunking-appropriate pieces if that's your thing.

Since none of you know who I am I might as well post here where I won't immediately get a visit from Concerned Individuals

Spoiler: Attention starved faggot begs for attention

I plan on attempting suicide within the next month. I've already made it up in my mind, and there isn't really much that words can do anymore. Not much of a difference between anything I'm writing here and spamming Nigger 300 times anyways, and advice is the same
I have a method, but it won't be a shotgun or flip because I'm a faggot. Part of me doesn't want my body to become a WatchPeopleDie front pager, at least the part that still cares about what my family will think if they find my body. My friend and my dad died in one piece so I at least should follow their lead.
The biggest thing keeping me from doing it now is trying to limit suspicion. I'm selling or giving away lots of things I have, but I can't really tell what I'd do with my money. I'm also reading guides on SS almost daily to know as much as I can about what it's like, so I don't regret things at the last second. I know it's something every survivor says happens but I'm becoming number to it, I won't know till I try I guess.
The other thing is that I hope by having a set method/date/plan I can live these next few weeks out without having to worry as much. Who knows, maybe something good happens to postpone things. But I can only wait so long. Before you go "just wait a little longer!," this has been 2 years coming and I know I'm at the end of the line and running on fumes. I can see myself living to graduation at most, assuming I can actually pass this semester, just to make my mom happy.
Rate this TMI or just doxx my location and send me to the psych ward, like it'll make a difference. At the very least, I thank God I wasn't born Indonesian.

I feel like I've learned a lot in community college, what are you majoring in? Is it something you were already good at in school? College is for completing your learning so you shouldn't major in anything you already know everything about.

Wait wait wait, he was doing this because of trangenders? I didn't even read it all, is that his actual reason? Cause if it is come the fuck on, dude, it is never that fucking deep.

Now that I type it though, if you're ready to off yourself because a girlfriend has a different opinion than you then maybe you should just kill yourself.

That's always how I do it. Except I stir it up and eat it all with a spoon.

 

[dick brain]

The only reason why the tasty food needs to be limited is cause it tends to be higher calorie, but they aren't "bad".

Well, they're also not nutritious. Man does not live by bread alone. If you supplement vitamins and minerals -- and high quality complete protein -- you can get away with it, but generally speaking you will feel better eating food that is good for you, and avoiding food that causes your blood sugar to fluctuate wildly or that is inflammatory or fucks with your gut biome or makes you shit your pants or whatever.

Speaking of, I started another extended fast and I forgot how pronounced the effects on mood are. Like in addition to the above considerations of blood sugar and hormones stabilizing, it feels like my brain has shut off whatever circuit is responsible for stressing out about stuff in order to conserve energy, and as a result I can just sit on the porch and enjoy a (sugar free) ginger ale and listen to distant thunder and retardmax. Stable, calm, serene, content.

Pretty cool.

 

[Getmeout]

That's sorta what I meant by "High calorie", the amount of nutrients dosen't "justify" (You shouldn't have to justify eating food) the amount of calories.

Source: orthorexia

Hoooooly shit, I remember I knew this orthorexic Youtuber as a teen and he fucked me uppppp. Orthorexia is no joke, it's harder to recover from since there's so much slop content out there that justifies it. Hope u get better soon, *Insert feels emoji here. I'm too lazy to go into the menu for it*

Interesting. Fasting always made my mood worse, like significantly worse. Like exasperating bipolar into psychotic episodes worse. I kept doing it nonetheless, cause, y'know. Got that eating disorder. I still fast but I have to limit it GREATLY cause again, exasperates symptoms into psychotic episodes. I just got back from a fast yesterday and I had a crazy ego death moment, it's insane. You go from fine to genuinely contemplating ending it in a day.
"If all it does is hurt you, AND you have a diagnosed eating disorder, then why don't you just fucking stop, Home?"
I'm a retard who enjoys hurting myself.

Heres the thing. They arent superior. They might be better at x, y or z. But better? Nah. The income range of good people is from poverty to wealthy. You never know really how much was luck, nepotism, marrying rich or coming from money va hardwork. Likely it was a combo.

And you really never know how many people who are seemingly wealthy arent. I know someone with a nicer car. A nicer house. Takes fancier vacations. Weara more expensive clothes.

I out earn him by almost 100% of his salary now and turns out have always earned much more. For years i assumed the opposite. Turns out we are just dead opposites on budgeting. I am too cheap in many ways because I know how easy it is to lose nearly all. He values appearances and connections and it does serve him, but he doesnt have the kind of ability to roll with financial punches I do.

He cant go without a paycheck for long. Asuch as i fret and cannot retire, i can take the hit of replacing a car or a major bill and move on.

So both you never know. But also, how valuable and good a person is doesnt correlate.

I have a wealthy relative. The kind you shouldn't put in a position of trust and would fuck over his own mom for a dollar.

I prefer my broke trailer owner cousins to him. By a lot.

Hold your fucking head up, live your principals and leave this "superior" shit to some (((bankers))) who nobody should listen to.
