I miss the days when the vast majority of Americans agreed that Nazis were bad guys.

I'm sorry I had to respond. What is their exact stance then? I'm not American. And Nazi's wanted to exterminate everyone but select few.
Friend told me I should move to Seattle since I was into tech, but the prices...

Same dynamic regarding working in the San Francisco Bay Area. My solution? I left California period. Sadly though Nevada's cost of living has skyrocketed since then.

However I suspect the same dynamic exists elsewhere...particularly in terms of expanding high-tech hubs spread out all over the US. That said, you might also consider the state of North Carolina.
This female friend might be geniune. I had so many meltdowns, panic attacks, text messages that were so dark I can't share here. Let's just say last years because of people I trusted a motherly figure named P.. bought me to a cafe of 143 days of being ostracized. Then feeling like college. Healing trusting people new church going to meetups meeting J.. breadcrumb blocked new church + other's hurt. Now 6+ old church

Palpitation city!

You can drink more with a stimulant.
Over stimulated and lower inhibition/ co-ordination means more likely to have an accident.

There's a reason why Four Loko, in its original form, was banned.
Until the library staff was mean to mean the same woman that refused to help me thru other day get my card. Even her coworker made fun of me. I reacted with a meltdown. I was suicidal. My friend again answered back when I was suicidal when no one cared. Thank God she understands me.

@Markness works part time in a library so he understands how rude staff members are especially against Neurodivergent people. It's much worse in New York City.
So grateful to spend so many nights like this with my friends

Great movie snacks. Do you actually bring them to the theater like I do? I sneak them in my backpack. I am an invisible ghost so no one cares when I go to the theater 100% of the time alone in NYC.

Good to know they both let you get away with it. I though it was just me feeling invisable.
If someone would actually end my life I would be happy.

The way you think and what you choose to focus on can have a big impact on how you feel. Telling yourself that everyone hates you and that women who ignore you are rejecting you is going to make you miserable. Focusing on positive thoughts can help you feel better even when your life isn't going well.

Tony, sorry you felt low today. That's nice someone said hello. :)
My team has a playoff game tonight… and I just blew out my knee :(
Worst timing possible. Thank goodness we have two other goalies but I’m obviously pretty upset.
Temperatures are back up again, so the maples are dripping.

Temps look good for the next week, so I'm thinking that will be the main maple juice flow.
My life can't get any worse than it is I'm afraid of people and my parents are bullying me so bad I can't kill myself I tried yesterday getting hit by a car I came so close the closest ever still no one gave a damn. I'm stuck in my house due to fear.

You're really into a down phase.
A few days ago (Sunday) you said you'd talk with your therapist about your
anger, loneliness, and fear of being rejected.....

Being jealous of your therapist sure gets in the way.
Have you ever told the therapist how angry you are?

It's okay to discuss your frustration and anger. This helps you label and deal with your feelings. I can get very frustrated, but it's not acting out, like the car situation. Take a minute to breathe slowly, 10 slow breaths. Acknowledge that you feel low, then let go of those feelings. Therapy is help to recognize how you feel, then you let go of it.

My mom is sick physically my father is not feeling well either physically.
My best friend has a really profound fear of the simulation/backrooms theory. He has OCD (so do I, but mine is treatment responsive) and I wonder if it's a manifestation of his OCD. I'm not judging him at all, just seems like an unusual and specific fear. Anyone else really afraid of stuff like that? I'm curious to hear your thoughts because I'd like to know how to help. Didn't feel like this should be a whole thread

In any case, I don't really worry about this either way, since if I am a simulated being, there is nothing to my knowledge that I can do about it anyway?

Fortunately, “noclipping” is only possible in video games so I wouldn’t worry about ending up in the Backrooms.

@cooljethro That was my thought too. That if it’s true we can’t do anything about it anyway.
Thanks for the replies!
Hmm...Albert Einstein (possibly autistic) didn't like wearing socks.

Interesting! Apparently a lot of autistic people have an aversion to sleeping in socks, but I hate sleeping barefoot because my feet get freezing cold lol
