How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I'm doing good actually. Graduation is in a matter of days, so my mood might come off as unusual. Not all of us are actually graduating, but I've been prepping for the day anyways. I've been spending my spare time talking to random people like us, at the same time trying to correct in-group vocabulary which I've used slightly wrong (will get around to that), along with my tone because people have been misreading it as non-neutral.

Also, it's been the first nice day of the year. We've had weeks of rain at a time, but now all you can see in the sky is geese everywhere.

About two months ago, I received online death threats due to work I did for a year helping people seeking asylum. This was with one organization almost a decade ago, I don’t do that now and am not politically radical anything. They found my address and sent deliveries as a way to try to scare me.
You deserve everything that comes to you.
 
Went to spend time with a friend and got ambushed by one of their others friends coming in and acting like a psychopathic tranny coomer. I like my other friend but holy shit it was like having small pieces of my soul torn from my body for 2 hours. Out of politeness to my friend I did not tell this mincing fuckwad off but I told them I would rather not meet them again and they apologized.

Shit way to start the weekend.
 
A few weeks ago the family got together to sort through my dad’s clothes. I had the last pickings before the rest were to be sent off to the thrift store, but I still managed to snag a decent amount of shirts and pajama pants/sweatpants… a majority of which were 100% cotton, so I’m glad I kept them. SUPER comfy.
AND, after over a month of delay, I finally have my first lump sum of my inheritance coming in sometime next week! I can’t wait to be back in a safe financial position, and get back on health insurance, and be able to take care of my wellbeing again… and feel like a person again! Yippee!!! :biggrin:
 
I just played four softball games in a row. It's leg day, but more fun, and more effective. But damn, am I bushed.

Now I understand why they call Cal Ripken Jr. the Iron Man. Did that every day of the season for 16 years nonstop. And here I am, wondering how I'm gonna get through the weekend without crutches.

my partner's job is starting to destroy his back to the point his work is getting concerned and may end up letting him go, so he's thinking of takign the opportunity to go to university and upgrade to an engineering level. If he does that it solves some logistics problems we had sharing a car.

And next week I complete my probation with the staffing agency being a middle man and become a full employee, which means I stop having that deduction on my paycheck.
 
Going to church in the morning for the first time in a couple weeks. I've been missing it, I'm excited.

Less exciting is realizing my parents are hitting their midlife crisis. My mom texted me today to show off her new tattoo, when she's never mentioned wanting one and with her and dad constantly warning my brothers and I about tattoos.
Between that, her dancing rather closely with a neighbor during a party in January, and, when looking up hot sauce recipes on their computer hotwife was a recently searched term, I'm praying that they aren't becoming Rekeita-esque.

My half cow came 5 hours ago, 303lbs of beef, 1/4 patties 1/2 ground beef and 1/4 roast/steaks and a little brisket and soup bones. $4 a pound exactly. Now I just have a freezer full of beef so if shit starts to get retarded I won't starve to death (not that that is a real concern)

Cost me $1250, so around $600 savings from the $6.25/lb that I was paying for at the grocery store.
 
I am not a member of that community, but I thank you for what you do. That's what heroes do. They go and do hard things so that others may lead a better life.
I greatly appreciate the sentiment but my kneejerk reaction is wrong room buddy, 911 is down the hall and to the left, I'm IFT we're the glorified nasal cannula taxi for welfare leeches and convicted felons, we bring the crime back into the neighborhood not the other way around

I tried doing the whole IFT thing, but couldn't. I didn't go to P school to take vitals all day and nothing else. It can be hard to find a 911 job depending on where you live. Here in Ohio, pretty much all EMS is fire-based so if you don't have your 240 card you're pretty much shut out.

To be honest I did 911 for a bit but in a tiny rural area 99% of calls are "granny slid halfway out of her chair at the nursing home" so I was bored out of my fucking mind and eventually stopped showing up. Nothing on the scanner sounded good enough to bother. That and they kept straight up lying to me about little things that pissed me off so I just went fuck em and stuck with the mercenary boo boo bus. They pay more and I have better shit to do on my days off than show up with the other 15 members of the fire department to get paid for showing up to a the old folks home.
I want action god damn it I need my adrenaline to come from somewhere, at least in sketchy bottom of the barrel IFT we get thrown to the wolves and actually have to try to not get shot or stabbed on the daily
 
I'm kind of at a crossroads in my life. I feel like my job isn't fulfilling and I'm not satisfied with my life in general. My parents live in a different state and while I'm not thrilled about moving back in with them for ANY amount of time, it's something that at the very least needs to be considered as a last resort.

A lot of the stuff about millennials being unable to afford real estate, let alone living on their own, are largely true. I'm holding on but it's getting more difficult overall.

Personally I really don't give a shit anymore about home ownership, relationships, or anything like that. At least for the time being.

I think this is by far the best method of buying meat in bulk. Even better if you can deal directly with local ranchers and cut out any middlemen. Nicely done.

Thread tax: if you realize that you don't like your job, especially for reasons well outside your control, get a different job. Unless one is making triple digit dollars/hour or a salary of similar value, it's not worth your mental peace.
 
I just got cucked out of half of my paycheck because I'm retarded and now I have to look for a new job. I also spent my last paycheck on fixing my vehicle and now I have to survive on 1/4 of my paycheck for the next 30 days. Fuck my life.
I think a friend just tried to nudge me into a devil's threesome.

I'm still going to be his friend, but I am really disappointed about him being part faggot, and thinking I was part faggot.

Was he coming on to you or was it just general faggotry? Should've told him off immediately. I've been in similar situations back in the long ago, long before The Rise of the Troons, when i was a much more liberal person (never been friends with fags, friends of friends situation like you describe) and it gets real tiresome real fast being around bona fide polesmokers.

Thread tax: Off to Grandma's birthday in a hot minute, have to travel to the outskirts of town which i am not too thrilled about, the schizo bum situation on public transit is worsening in my city (thanks, Ukraine) and i already got into it (i only held back in the end because i realized how hard it would be to explain to police why exactly i beat a bum up) with one on friday evening, i don't need a repeat of that on a good day like today.
