Got a nasty finger injury today, thankfully it apparently barely didn't need stitches. Hurts like a bitch though, and makes it hard to use my hand.
 
I feel p bad. I'm the mother of a toddler with no Internet or IRL friends. I keep trying to befriend ppl at activities but ig I am awkward or something. Is there a mom thread on KF? I am sad.
 
I just found out what "goyslop" means today, that's a term I should probably block on all devices of mine before I do something bad again.

Speaking of disordered eating, something that pisses me off is my family. When I was insisting that white rice will kill you on the spot and proudly bragging that the only thing I eat is one peanut a day, they were distressed. But now that I'm out of that, it's back to "Home, did you buy Taco Bell? That shit's POISON, see, I saw this guy on Facebook say--". Keep pushing my buttons, I'll go back to vomiting in the toilet just to spite you all.

I just had Costco tempura shrimp and Canada dry though and I'm feeling okay-ish.

I've never had a cat, so when I'm calling my friends and they're like "Sorry, I sound so stiff, can't move, my cat's on me" and I say "Why don't you just move the cat." their jaws always drop incredulous. The conversation usually goes
"Just move him"
"I can't
"Why not"
"He's so cute"
"Who cares"
"You're a sociopath"

Yeah I don't wanna sound like an asshole either but I live alone and I won't even start to consider anything below $3k takehome a month and thats only because I've had to drop my standards from my original (was making 4k/mo takehome). Job market will sort itself out eventually, I'm just gonna wait.

Oh, no job for 3 months? Unemployed for life. I can only imagine it even worse in IT if you aren't actively learning new languages or whatever, and how do you do that with no tasks that require it? It's like learning to knit without wanting to knit anything.

I do/did, but not through Linkedin, I'm pretty sure there isn't a legitimate job on that fucking website. Its search function has been destroyed, it used to be a lot better, and now it's just a lot of recruiter/marketer types shilling their words of wisdom and other bullshit. Linkedin may have been good once upon a time, but not anymore. If there's one thing Linkedin is good for, it's stalking recruiters. If someone contacts you through their corporate email system that doesn't link back to their private one, you can often find these people on Linkedin and bother them there.

I remember my professor showing us his idea of a week off as unemployed. 2 days of interviews, 2 days of coffee dates, 2 days of applications. Mfer hasnt been on the job market since the bombs dropped and he's in humanities of all things.

Despite my job I've met in every single day for half a year. Tempted to call in sick the last two days of this week and seriously consider quitting. It's the only thing that gave me even a glimpse of positivity, and now that the weather is clearing up and it's getting warmer, it's a good time to embrace positivity instead of slaving for money I don't specifically need.

The age difference is still making me think but we click really well.

What sort of age gap are we talking about? I think it’s only an issue if it’s vast, and it’s bad if one of you is too young, eg a ten year gap 40/50 is not the same as 18/28. If both of you are adults, and roughly culturally aligned, and you like each other, give it a go. We do not find love very often in life, and you should take the chances offered to you

Mom groups are HELL. Hell, hell hell. They are all the same - there is always one or a couple of absolutely fucking insane women running it and they are insane and the my create insanity.
There’s a parenting thread in gorl tawk in BP, and plenty of mums on here.
I’ve been there, this is the hardest stage. DM me if you need to rant.
 
I started yoga a few weeks ago and it has really improved my quality of life beyond what cardio and strength training have done.

mom thread 1, parenting megathread and there might be something more mother-oriented than child rearing oriented in the gorl tawk board but I'm unsure specifically what you're interested in.

The thing about pet owners, some of us consider our fur children our babies as cringe as that is to admit. Take it as hyperbole/exaggeration and leave it at that. It's more of a tongue in cheek, sarcastic joke response and not super serious.

I know, kek, don't worry! I remember one time I was at a friend's house and we were gonna go get some food but her cat was on her so she was like "I can't... Move...". So I just casually picked him up and she went "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". Goooood times

Basically decided I'll be out of this job by the end of next month. I've run the budget for unemployment and it is grim. However, I don't need to thrive on this, just tread water. I've really considered sticking by the job while looking for new work, but it's not worth it. It's one thing to do your work around bad coworkers, it's another when your work is the coworkers. There's no way to quietly quit while protecting my sanity enough that I got energy to look for work once I get home.

The real takeaway from this existential crisis is that there's no jobs here. No big office buildings, no big logistics terminals. I'm tempted to just completely uproot and move back home, then find work and a place to live near my parents. It's a unrealistic but I'm so fed up. Anyway, I should take this as an opportunity. Join a gym, go for a walk every day. Find a volunteering thing. I haven't felt like gaming in ages and doing anything away from the PC enforces a mindset to get out there. If I read in the sun for an hour I immediately think "damn, I need to experience life".

Every night after I turn off my pc, I stare at my autistic baby and realize she do a lot for my mental well-being, even if she's annoying most of the time. There's a bunch of early retirees who live around here, walking the dog they can probably barely afford. I'm surprised there's no retard tax system to pay at least some of the pet food for people who rely on pets not to rope.

For now i am taking it easy, i went back to workout routine, and im playing stardew valley, even if roping after ending up broke is in the future right now i don't care, i am just so tired of everything so i might as well be comfortable while i can.

I understand why people doom-circlejerk. There's a nice sense of comradery in the shared realization that life for most of us won't end up being a mansion and a loving family. Shit, I'd rather talk to a bunch of NEETs who nonetheless are trying to make the most of it. Kids on early retirement, needing to find purpose having no money to spare. Terminal fuck-ups who settled with a low-wage job and finding purpose in other things like teaching kiddie sports.

The other day I had this absolutely primal urge to hit up a pub friday night. If even just a taste of that youthful "anything can happen tonight" feeling. Yeah, what kind of loser goes to a pub alone in their 30s, but if I met a woman who did the same, I'd immediately want to talk to them. I avoid social spaces because 'what kind of loser would need to actively search out new friends'? Me. I am that loser. And my big offense isn't more severe than moving away to study and not moving back again, cutting all ties to friends and family.
