I might get a Switch Lite on payday, I have a bunch of games on my account that I could be playing

Experiencing a temporary bout of sanity.
Feeling abnormally productive.
I don't expect this will last, so I'm enjoying it.

Giving you a winner for being a fellow THS fan. Love Craig and the boys, but I have to admit that Teeth Dreams was their last good album. Haven't really liked anything since then. They are an amazing live band, so if you ever get the chance, see them. They haven't done any full scale touring in many years which is too bad.

Spoiler: aspergers

Agree. Separation Sunday irrevocably changed my life and remains in my top ten, maybe top five albums to this day, and I listened to everything up through Teeth Dreams religiously (lol) but I listened to Thrashin and ODP maybe twice each. Didn't even know they had another one out until today.

I'm sure it's partly me outgrowing them and partly them outgrowing me. I largely switched over to Craig's solo stuff -- especially I Need A New War -- and I remember him saying in an interview something along the lines that THS is stories about bad people being bad, and his solo stuff is stories about bad people trying to get better. So while THS was comforting in my teens and twenties when I was doing whatever I had to to survive, and still holds a cherished place in my heart, I'll take my disillusionment as a sign of growth.

I'm due for a revisit though.

So bored. Seriously thinking of buying a Switch Lite to bring to work

I'm having a surge in disturbing and cryptic dreams about my teeth falling out, no clue if this is a premonition, i do believe i take good care of my teeth and don't eat too much food that decays the teeth but perhaps i am neglecting something. Beyond that, it looks like i lost weight albeit not intentionally, since i've been eating and sleeping terribly

A dream about losing teeth supposedly means you are scared of losing something.

Yeah, teeth.

If I end up anheroing, catch you all on the flip side, Hermie. There is no divine Providence, Job is a fucking nigger and God likes to sit on his fat ass watching the world go to shit. Peoples lives mean nothing.

shit man I didnt expected this. I know it can suck been there I hope you are good and you have gotten help and off the internet . :/

Teeth dreams are a very common symptom of anxiety, and a pretty good album.

You got anything on trying to speak but instead coughing up/choking on broken glass/sand/other noxious stuff? It's one of my reoccuring dream things.

Edit: Forgot the thread tax. Just came back from the pharmacy, girlfriend managed to burn herself with her curling iron yesterday. Then she managed to leave an ice pack on that burn for long enough that THAT caused a burn. Now the curling iron burn is healed but she has a blister the size of half a dollar bill on her thigh. I told this all to the pharmacy worker because i did not know what to get, she gave me a look that was half "Is that motherfucker abusing his girlfriend?", half "Damn, that bitch clumsy!"

I had the worst night of my life and dreamed of teeth falling out; my dad being run off the road by a truck and drowning us, and being fed poison that'd slowly kill me as people walked around me going "huh what's wrong?". Most of my dreams end up being about my car being destroyed. Guess I've had 3 in the last few years; one a literal deathtrap that got refunded and one that got T-boned "softly". This one was a steal imo and one of few things going right for me lately. Alas.

Do yourself a favor and get a third-party handle. As per every fucking Nintendo handheld, it's the only way to make it even remotely playable.

"But doctor, I AM Pagliacci!"

 

[The News Crews]

Heavily considering dropping my two other classes in favor of fully focusing on my EMT class. The other classes are basic drawing and creative writing so not really that important, but I feel like dropping them would cut me off people more than I already am. Practically speaking however, in a few weeks I’m going to have to do ride time as part of the EMT class and that will eat up a ton of time, that it’s probably just best to drop them

 

[Dysnomia]

I have to go to a cardiologist tomorrow. It's just a precaution because of my bad cough. I don't think there's anything wrong with my heart. My chest hurts from coughing. My back hurts too. I have an albuterol inhaler and it kinda helps. But it's probably not the right thing for me. I use it every six hours and yesterday I coughed so much I couldn't inhale from it right. I also have a pulmonologist appointment. Maybe he can give me something more effective. It really hurts right now.

Are you planning on a career in EMS? If you are, do yourself a big favor and get your paramedic license, you won't make anything as a basic. You don't make a ton of money as a medic but it's a hell of a lot better than -B pay, plus you get to do a lot more cool shit. If you're in college though I would probably recommend pursuing a degree because this field will chew you up and spit you out if you let it. Long, irregular (24 hour shifts) hours, low pay and high stress can lead to burnout in just a few years. I love it, but make sure you know what you're getting in to before committing to it.

@Friend of Dorothy Parker

You work long hours even into the weekend? I hope that your work recognizes that you push yourself so hard, other than them giving you more to do are they going to potentially allow you to move to a higher position or earn more?

You also work from home don't you so you can eat your dinner while continuing to work?

With your current work output you will have done in a year what would take someone 3 years.

I have no time to do anything outside of work because physically there is no time. I get home, eat dinner, do chores, then it's nearing bed time and I'm so tired I fall to sleep as soon as I sit down anyway so I never get to do anything I want to do.

I know it pays the bills but there has to be another way to live right? This can't be it for another 30 years, I've done nothing but work for the past 15 years and I've wasted the best years of my life by not experiencing anything but laboring away on the job, and I'm now going to waste the rest of my life doing the same thing (if I don't collapse first I'm very weak and tired).

Well for people that find a way to enjoy life by finding time to do things outside of work or by enjoying work that is great, but even with any kind of support I don't think that is possible for me.




I am cursed to never be able to fill the shoes of a normal person. I've somehow "won" and obtained multiple full time jobs but I'm worse off for it.

I’m planning on going into paramedic firefighter, will get a basic EMT job and wait till paramedic classes start up in the area. With the current course I will be finished by mid 2026

That's really the best way to go. Better salary, benefits, equipment, stations etc. It's quite difficult to get on a paid department, but it's worth the headache.

 

[Skeletron Prime]

It's the night before school starts up and I've got a fucking cold.

 

[Señora Airi]

Work has burned me out, and I've come to the fact that I'm gonna have to find a roommate due to rent being high.

Not being able to eat what you want sucks. No matter how many ways I've tried to mentally reframe it or find creative workarounds, I'm just really unhappy. Everyone I talk to has a "Can't you just...." in mind and it pisses me off.

I feel like there should be a philosophical razor that if your advice starts with the word "just," it probably isn't worth saying.
