How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Sped Xing]

I made six servings of spaghetti so I'd have breakfast for the rest of the week, then ate all of it in one sitting.

 

[DamnWolves!]

Look what I got on Friday Might be my last one; I'm getting too old for this stuff, but in the mean time, the reflections are lookin' real shiny and I can run EU4 at like 1000 fps.

Struggeling, eveything keeps getting worse.

Are you okay, fren? Tell the farms about it; we'll make it better.

my father has never done drugs his entire life but he starts with fucking heroine!?

Rough go, dude. If it's any consolation, it likely didn't start with heroin; it likely started with a prescription for OxyContin or the like. I've never done heroin, but I did get hooked on on the pharmaceutical shit, which can be just as bad and twice as expensive... if you care, see if you can get your dad hooked up with a Suboxone clinic. If you want to quit, Suboxone is basically a miracle drug, with the minor inconvenience of needing to take a pill every day. I'm doing really well now, so full recovery is possible even if not everyone makes it.

It's just a way for normies to feel morally "superior. A very good example on this, you have to be friends with your ex.

This is neither "nice" nor very productive. You need space when you get out of a relationship. You need to grieve. Your brain literally needs to reset. You probably weren't friends with your ex before you got together, so why should you be after?

Imagine if after one of your parents died, you insisted on watching old home videos of them every day for the rest of your life. That's not healthy and no one would tell you it's healthy. Breaking up with a loved one is a little different, but no less final, and your brain can't tell the difference between the losses because they feel the same. It's better for you both that you act like the adult and treat the other person as if they were dead, shared children notwithstanding.

Nice GPU, I hope you have a beefy enough CPU and PSU for it!

 

[SouthernBitchBob]

I'm settling down to be a hideous basement demon and play video games like a child with snacks and sugar all weekend. No guilt at all, I'm back in good enough shape that I can justify 4-5 days of pure glorious laziness. Merry preliminary Christmas celebration to me.

 

[BingBong]

I cried for the first time in a while tonight while watching a Mr. Rodgers clip. I was feeling good due to work for the last couple weeks, but the depression is getting worse again. Idk what I'm gonna do. I'm drinking tonight, that's for sure.

 

[cummytummies]

I have spent this entire day with just one monitor.
Now, I would be fine being stranded in the woods. I would be fine with no internet, no computers. No TV and no cell signal.
But sitting ON the computer, with one monitor!? It makes me feel like a caveman. Like a god damn troglodyte. I hate it. I can't stand it. It's like walking with one foot tied behind my back or eating spaghetti with nothing but a knife.

I'm crawling under the house, so I can get pictures for the subsidence because while it has a foundation, of sorts, it's built upon sand. So we have to go through another phase of shoring up the foundation that is bullshit anyway.

How'd you get yours? I've been trying to get a 3080 for under $1k all year

Just got lucky--got a tip they might get a shipment for Black Friday, so I called like 20 stores until I found one that had some come in that morning.

I got it at MSRP, but this was one of the more expensive options...Looked for the cheaper ones, but they were all out. It definitely wasn't under $1k lol.

The clerk told me that every time they come in, Chinese people come in with like 5 family members and buy them all (1 per person policy). They're definitely shipping them overseas. Fuckin' crypto...

Getting ready for my vacation. I'm preparing to head south before the winter hits.

 

[Molester Stallone]

I've been dealing with a lot of broken stuff lately. Luckily I've been able to fix most of it. I did get a new PC delivered today to replace my 10 year old dinosaur. Ironically enough before I could even unbox it my modem started to emit a good awful screeching sound that I was able to track down to a faulty power supply. Should have everything up and running by this time tomorrow.

I made six servings of spaghetti so I'd have breakfast for the rest of the week, then ate all of it in one sitting.

I've been having this issue ever since I started cooking all my own food. It's been happening a lot lately when I make split pea soup and the only way I've found to combat it is to just put a whole kilo of peas in the slow cooker. There is no solution for me beyond simply making more food than is physically possible for me to consume in one sitting. The trade-off is that because there is a giant mass of delectable pea soup before me, I tend to spoon out additional bowls for myself quite liberally. In the end there is indeed some left, though.

Wheat is especially bad in these scenarios because there are components of certain grains that actually inhibit the satiety response so you keep eating beyond what would fill you up if you were eating some non-grain starch. In the future, I suggest making 2-3 boxes of noodles as well as buttering the ones you eat immediately so that you become fuller faster.
It's unfortunate that it has to come to this, but it is what it is.

I wonder if I'm becoming increasingly psychotic. Everything around me feels fake and wrong. Maybe it's just worsening dissociation due to my depression. idk.
all I know is that the line between fantasy and reality is becoming more unclear.

Gas the chinks, rice war now.

Here I thought it was because I made really tasty sauce.

 

[Dr. Octogonapus]

Just got back from the doctor. I've been back and forth from the ER to urgent cares because my heart keeps fucking up. Nobody knows what's wrong, but I don't seem to be dying so. It isn't really important to them.

I can barely walk without my heart rate shooting up ridiculously high and my O2 sat dropping. I can only sleep for 3 hours at a time because I can barely breathe in my sleep. I don't know if it's because of covid or what, but it's been hard to see any specialists. They're all 2-3 months out at least. So I've just been trying to deal with this, but it's been getting worse for years and now I can't function.

The doctor thinks it's neurological whatever's going on. Which makes sense, I guess. I'm losing control of my hands and I'm losing my sense of touch more and more all the time.

I really could care less what happens to me. The only reason I want to stay around is to take care of my dad. He's 63 and has no other family to rely on. I almost died last year. A friend found me and that's the only reason I'm still here. When I woke up in the ICU, I got a call from my dad. It was the second time in my life I ever heard him cry. The first time was when my grandpa, his dad, died.

I just want to get off disability and get a job, man. I want to support my dad. We've both had a shit life, but at least I have time to turn things around. I'm afraid he's running out of time. I want to make his last few decades as enjoyable and stress free as possible. He deserves it.

Went driving in my town for the first time today. I put us over one curb and blew a stopsign. I feel pretty discouraged ngl

My favorite of the million bazillion times more food than you actually need is lentil soup. Always use smoked paprika. Pulses in general seem to have this feature where you just want more and more of them.

i got a stomach bug

 

[JosephStalin]

Today (the 3rd) was six months since the spinal fusion surgery. Over 95% recovered. Figured it would take a good six months to totally recover, believe I'm right on track. Celebrated by walking up and down a steep hill twice. Exercises from physical therapist have been very helpful in eliminating residual back stiffness and discomfort. Believe I'll just keep doing them; they also seem to help stomach muscles. Walking buddy and I have our eyes on a rather taller, sandy hill next to the beach, planning to walk up it after Christmas. Am grateful for the recovery, especially when I remember how bad things were the morning I went into the hospital for surgery.
