How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Coffee Druid]

I need to stop stressing about acquaintances' relationship issues/situations and just have the mentality of "not my problem". That sounds insensitive, but... I already went through a bout of concern awhile back over one couple I'm acquainted with when I didn't know all the facts. And i got chewed out by a third party over my worries. Now it's happening to another friend I know and it's confusing me again. So I'll just watch from a distance until I know what's going on and if said friend needs someone to talk to I'll be there.

Maybe its my time on the farms, but when things involve poly shenanigans, or even possible trans stuff....In my experience it's never a positive in a relationship.

i've been ganged up on with no support and left to fend for myself so many times in my life and this is the first time i've been seen as 'in the right'. i know i keep sounding like a massive faggot here but you guys are really giving me that serotonin

Stress dreams. Time for an early morning run.

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

I might have a new job with better pay and more vacation in a better climate (no fucking snow).

 

[SouthernBitchBob]

Had one of those bizarre dreams last night that had me waking up both entertained and wondering why the hell I found something so retarded entertaining.

 

[SkunkFeet]

Literally everything annoyed the fuck out of me today so that was fun

Keep wondering where the sane people in government are gone.

There's never been anyone sane in government, regardless of place or time.

And if you think there were, they just had you fooled for a while.

Day to day I'm feeling slightly better, but still get bouts of feeling compeltely unhinged. Am going to walk around alone and drink like a fish this weekend.

But is it really that? Do they offer you emotional support, or have they done something else to be deserving of you offering them support?
Most likely scenario is that they would ghost you immediately, the moment you need support.

i have that doormat problem too where i can never just explicitly tell someone to shut up and that i don't give a shit.
it's like you're always getting sucked back in its so exhausting

I think I also just have an intense curiosity/need to know what's up instead of things being ambiguous. Again, it's not my concern so I'll not let it bother me.

On another topic, I've been reading over the collected volumes of a fantasy comic I used to read years back. I had only read half of it and it had gorgeous art, emotional impact here and there and lots of characters I liked. But then I read the latter half and... The art took a massive decline, there became so many characters it lost focus and the plots just started sucking. It makes me feel deeply disappointed. I'm going to just pretend that the series ended when it was still good.

What'd be the comic?

I've grown fond of the phrase, "that's not my problem".

 

[Coffee Druid]

What'd be the comic?

Elfquest. I never hear anyone talk about or even seem to know it exists. The original series (from late 1970s to late 90s) is collected into 7 omnibus editions and I just finished book 5. There's also a newer series that was published in the last decade. I'll read through those and then decide how I feel overall. Nostalgia is getting me through.

 

[Nick Obre]

Elfquest.

Oh. That.
No offense since you like the early part, but I've never been able to look at it and think anything other that "looks like shit". Also I've never seen it discussed favorably, but that may be due to the quality drop you mention.

I've grown fond of the phrase, "that's not my problem".

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
It's not my goat to fuck.

Or if you wanna help a little but not get too involved:
I won't fuck the goat but I'll hold the horns for you.

That Beyoncé song it said she quit her job. Something about her quilt a job. What is a job? Something to make money. But the first thing is you need to live your life. It’s very HARD to live your life. How are you suppose to even think if you are stressed out to the point that you are just falling over collapsing just knocked out cold. Hard physical labor is Demanding on the body. Too much labor could even kill you actually. A sudden movement and just slam dead. You have to train your soul before you can even think about the compression of people are dying right now because they don’t have the job or the money but what if you had to choose either Going to work and saying yes corporate boss i agree with this rainbow flag or do you say no I believe in God if you wave your rainbow flag okay fine that’s a rainbow flag you are saying that it represents homosexuality and right then and there I disagree that a rainbow even show represent homosexuality because rainbows have always existed in real life and they are just something that happens in the light it’s a rainbow but somebody wants to take that color for a different purpose because in the Bible there was rainbows and the rainbow did not mean homosexuality. If you are gay that’s theirs business it’s not my concern. I believe in God. I will not say anything positive about homosexuality but I will not be a asshole or anything however I do not support evil. The Bible is clear on evil. Jobs. I spoke with a woman. I said to her, why are you telling me not to yell at this man for asking me if I am gay because homosexuality is a sin. Does your job require you to defend men who claim homosexuality is a okay thing? No! Your job may tell you that you must tell me that homosexuality is okay, I will never agree! I will point to the Bible when you say this to me. What does the Bible say? Man shall not lay with a man. Let’s take it a little farther. False Christians. Evil people who claim to be a Christian but they are not true Christians and they say homosexuality is not a sin. It’s a sin to say homosexuality is not a sin. If you say that homosexuality is not a sin, that means you are saying that you are smarter than God. It means you are saying that you know better than God. And it means that you reject the Bible. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. I will let you live in peace okay.

Just shaved my head and my scalp is full of red spots. Very unappetising.
Also my fingers have suddenly become covered in "dead skin" or whatever it's called.
Probably no relation. Definitely not going to google it.

I've had this exact same same thing. Fingers cleared up after cutting out caffeine for a week. I swapped tea and coffee for water and cut out soda, give it a shot.

I work in a small town, so you often see the same people hanging around. One is a big, fat neckbeard guy. Another is a hot, blonde gym chick. Saw them today and it turns out they're a couple. No idea how he did this. It's a shit part of town too, so probably not money.

There may be hope for us all yet.

I'm having an extraordinarily bad day, on top of a very rough week, month, year, decade. My antidepressants are not helping me cope with my circumstances, which just got a lot worse today than they already were. I am feeling very sorry for myself because I'm resourceful like that.

I have numerous blessings in my life, but they are not legal tender and I can't pay the rent with them, so I'm finding it hard to "focus on the positive" especially today.
