2024.06.02 09:52 JollyJulong Fastest way to regain fitness?
I recently took an almost half-year break from football because of exams, now my exams are nearly over and there are around 5 weeks before training starts again.
I used to be able to last a full 90 min game but now I can barely play for anymore than 30 mins.
A lot of things also need work; ball control, dribbling and strength
I also gained some weight eating like I used to when I was still playing almost every day
What’s the best way to go about this?

2024.06.02 09:50 jinx_x27 tell me…
an email i considered sending to my therapist, but never sent. share any thoughts as you would like :) thank you to anyone who takes the time to read. let me know if you relate if you’d like.
little jacked up, admittedly probably shouldn’t have done the block or two home from the bar if i’m being honest. it’s kind of wild the way things change and stay the same. the level of disconnect and the lack of discernment between what is okay and what is not. knowing and not knowing… rationalizing? what is okay
and the sadness as you watch people succumb, over and over, more and more. and you stand back and watch as people simply take watch, observe the decline, yourself included. and you think, well, they don’t know any different. but if you’re asking yourself the question, if you all make the jokes that indicate the awareness with things left unsaid… i don’t know. it’s an incredibly sad world we live in some days
and there’s people that greet me upon entering, and these people say they adore me, their words. and i’m here wondering why they ask me these questions, truthfully why can’t you just recognize that i need more than 6 ft of distance for me to be okay with you talking this intensely. no ill intent, warmth, encouragement. and i want nothing more than to not be seen. it’s amazing, truly.
there are so many missed communications. and people just carry on, they just continue to whatever beat their drum drums. they continue to color inside the lines, they don’t dare to shake their status quo. not recognizing that their status quo is what keeps things where they are. not recognizing that if they see something , say something. and i think it’s even more sad if they do see it. i’m one of those people, and i can empathize because i feel powerless too.
it’s a wild wild world all the time
and yet, my aunt texts me just now, she says “ Thanks for listening to me all the time. You’re one of the very few people that I can talk to and know that you totally understand what I’m jabbering about. ” so i have meaning, i made impact. right?
we’re all witnesses to this shit. it’s wild
i must be more jacked up than i thought, to be shamelessly sharing.
i think too many people are in pain, with no means to get out. except they have the means, they have the help, they just can’t see it. it’s a profoundly sad world. and nonetheless, a good night . a night of sharing, of exchanges, of authentic conversation.
i don’t know. i don’t quite have the words
i know that im deeply grateful to have the space to express. and i know that i wouldn’t be here if not for you
how many people don’t have a version of you? how many people stumble blindly through whatever their shit is, unknowingly colluding
i don’t know
and what is there to do? the spouse of the alcoholic takes him in the car home, he’ll sleep in the car or on the couch. the father who texts his son thanking him for his honesty about having been drinking, and therefore isn’t going to pick up his dad. i tell him, that’s a great text from your dad. good on you. (he’ll appreciate that someday if he doesn’t already). did he hear me? was he more upset that i shouldn’t be looking over his shoulder? it wasn’t my business in the first place? he wouldn’t be wrong.. but i read it and wished id have heard it, so i said something. he thanked me, so maybe. but maybe not, maybe he thought fuck you. the brother that storms out on his sister over who knows what, what i hear as a “years long conflict, this happens at least every other time they get together.” and it’s normal, so let’s move on, let’s have fun. forget about it. under the rug it goes.
how are people not profoundly disturbed by this? how do they actively participate?
and how can i say that as i stand by and watch these things pass by because these people are 20-30 years older than me, i dont have the connection necessary to plant any seeds of change. and yet i have 5 minute conversations with people only to hear that they call me extraordinary, they say im destined for great things, always have been.
i don’t know. i don’t know what i feel
i just know that it’s difficult for me to interact with so many people that have no idea what to do. and i have the empathy. i didn’t, i don’t know what to do either. you just keep trying anyway, but they don’t seem to. they brush it off, they act like it’s nothing so as to minimize the discomfort, in an effort to save somebody’s feelings.
i don’t know. it’s a wild thing
nobody i know is ever malicious. i know malicious people exist, they are not the ones i know.
it’s insane to me the level of harm that can be done despite good intentions. and how disturbingly normal it is to watch and do nothing. nothing. sit back. they’ll figure it out. maybe. someday. maybe. hopefully.
it’s fucked up. what if they don’t? what if they need you to say something? what if they need to know that it’s seen, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it hurts?
i don’t know. i’m not pointing the finger, im no different, im a participant as well
but im 24, i say, im only a kid compared to these people. cant be much different than the things they all tell themselves.
i don’t know.
it’s a weird thing.
and today was my dad’s 50th birthday . and i hugged him multiple times, trying to tell him i love him. trying to tell him to stay close. take care of yourself, i need you around. and yet im fuming over the treatment of my step-sister who still lives in his house. the lack of accountability taken. and how could you carry on this way. how could you not see what you’re doing. how could you continue to oppress, restrict another human being, another child of yours. i told you what it did to me, didn’t i? didn’t you listen? i thought you did.
but i love this man more than i give a fuck whether the sun rises the next day, and so i will give him grace. i will hug him tight because i don’t want him going anywhere. i see him laugh it up, i see him brush things off, i see him swallow, and make light. and i watch his body decay as the stress compounds. why? how? but i get it, too. i haven’t said anything either. that’s all we know
i care that he knows how much i love him, how much i need him, how much i yearn for closeness, for him to understand. i see the weight that you’re carrying that you tirelessly try to dismiss
i don’t know what to do with all of this sometimes there’s too much to be seen that isn’t said.
i’m highly analytical, im logical, im rational, im disconnected. and honestly i don’t know how else to exist, because feeling it all, watching it all
i don’t know sometimes. i don’t know
and it was a great night. it was a great night
too many paradoxes.
and i’ll wake up tomorrow, i’ll forget about this. i’ll be caught up in my own world. it will be out of sight out of mind
what can you do? are the messages i receive from people like my aunt enough? do i need to think better? it’s not like im not already cracking under my own weight. but would more mean more? do more? how do we all sit back like that. how do we all do that
blows my mind, and i understand it all the same.
crazy. crazy. crazy.
i hope you’ve been able to get some rest. it makes me wonder sometimes… did you abuse your body too like i have? is it a case of poor genetics? is it to be expected with aging? do you have regrets that you’re now paying the price for? or have you made your peace and you roll with the punches? what are the things you tell no one about? what are the things you try to forget? what are the things you deny but secretly know, the things that only you could possibly know? and am i projecting? is there a level of healing where that’s not what you think anymore? but at the end of the day, i think everybody has those, no matter how healed you think you are. is that reality or just mine?
do you have somebody too?
maybe it’s arrogant of me, but i don’t think i would sense, i don’t think i would suspect if there was nothing to know.
that pains me some days.
but maybe that’s the human part of this work. maybe i’m human, and you’re human, and we all have things left unseen and untouched, unsaid.
do i think that because im wounded? or is that how this thing we call life is? i don’t know.

2024.06.02 09:50 Frosty-Grapefruit770 Got broken up with two days ago.
His (20m) mother had gotten into a car accident and broke a few ribs (luckily those were the only injuries). This happened at the beginning of the month and ofc I (20f) was there and tried to be a shoulder for him to cry on. But two days ago he sat me down and told me that he needs to take care of his mom and put his time and energy into caring for her. Basically telling me he has no time for me and our relationship anymore. I’m trying to be understanding but tbh I just don’t. I don’t understand why we couldn’t have just taken a break for a month and then revisited instead of just ending it all. Idk it just hurts a lot. He was my first everything so it definitely has an extra punch to the pain and idk how to deal with it at all. I’ve been crying for 2 days straight and I’ve never been one to cry in front of others but as soon as I start to think about him the waterworks become active. I wish I could ignore this pain and find a way to live on faster. I’m also scared that a month will pass and he will text me saying he regrets and then I forgive him. Ik the simple answer is to just not forgive him but I have a lot love for him and what feels like not so much love for myself atp.

2024.06.02 09:48 phoenixking6931 Anyone want to have a philosophy penpal?
Hi - 25M - and I recently made a post on penpals but I thought I'd go straight to the source since I've had trouble finding people with an interest specifically in philosophy. I hope that this is an appropriate question - I won't mind if this post is deleted. I'm fairly new to the field, as an amateur - I just started reading/notetaking Anthony Kenny's "A New History of Western Philosophy", because I want to get a broad overview of the field before I pick an area to specialize in. Not as a professional, just a passion project. When I was less serious, I started with the existentialists (Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Camus, etc.) Kierkegaard is my favorite, and my favorite work is EitheOr. I also have a bit of a morbid fascination with people like Schopenhauer.
So I'm looking for people to communicate with one-on-one about what I'm working on, and hopefully what you're working on. I want to read, write, everything. Bonus points if you have some expertise and can critique me. Send me a DM if you're interested! Those are the essentials; the info below is just flavortext to give you a sense of what I'm about - you can skip it if you want.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite not taking a dominant position in the academic world today - except as historical legacy - I have a fascination with the continentals. In the analytical tradition, the main value of the material derives from the information being communicated, as you would expect. It is communicated with clarity. In continental philosophy, however, the main points and arguments are intentionally obfuscated. It is not just about the information communicated, but the way it is communicated. This has the interesting effect of the material speaking to your soul and not just your mind. It is vague, it is mysterious, it beckons the reader into an unending labyrinth of thought that simultaneously goes nowhere and teaches you everything. Kierkegaard's EitheOr is built from two parts. Part A is a lure - it promises sympathy as paltry compensation for a desolate universe. Part B is a knife - it is a betrayal that robs you of sympathy and chastises you for even choosing to take part in it. It compels you to stand on your two feet and consider your own life choices without the defenses of sympathy and victimhood. EitheOr is a cell virus - Part A is the surface proteins that allow the virus access, Part B is the payload. It is an effect that cannot be achieved through clarity, while the reader has their defenses up.
The world to me is hopelessly heteronomous, that is, the opposite of autonomous. When was the last time you made a decision that was really your own? When you were last confronted with a difficult choice, did you not choose to act on behalf of either your social group or your own automatic biology? Did you do what you really wanted to do? Or was what you wanted, itself, something you didn't really want? Schopenhauer talks about a unified Will - a world made of desire - which is forced to fragment itself into subject and object so that it can have a real existence, but this has a side-effect. Now, instead of there being one Will, one desire, the fragmented Will is made of multiple desires, which come into conflict with each other, causing pain and frustration. Is this not what the social world is? When you dream of a harmonious utopia - everyone being in sync with one another - are you not knowingly naive? Suppose we made a constitution, or a transhuman hivemind, that forced everyone into sync - would we not be upholding a facade of cooperation while secretly scheming against one another? Is this not the optimal strategy? Is this not what we do already? Are your friends really your friends? When you selectively breed fruit fly populations for lowest population size - an analogy for humans working together with the shared goal of avoiding overpopulation - you select for infanticide rather than cooperation. So, when you compulsively act on behalf of your social network, do you not also wish you could act otherwise? Have you ever dreamed of a world devoid of all intelligent life but yourself - a reunified Will with no obstacles? An entire culture packaged into one superhuman mind?
These thoughts are repulsive and dangerous if taken the wrong way, so I'll try to end on a more positive note. I'm bipolar in my assessment of the world - on one hand, I dream of a solitary Nietzschean superman, and on the other I feel called to ethics and responsibilities and compassion with one another. It would be a disgrace to Kierkegaard if I were to say otherwise. I do not know how to resolve the tension between these two ideals. I've been thinking about a humanistic psychologist named Dabrowski who said that most of us go through life in blissful selfishness - we further our own interests and are happy doing so. In contrast, some of us fall away - disintegrate - in response to the tension between what is and what ought to be. We find fault with our own biology and embark on an antibiological quest to cultivate a higher-order personality - one that is conscientious, compassionate, sensitive, prosocial, competent, creative, and intentional. I cannot possibly claim to be a paragon of virtue myself, but those rare individuals who serve higher purposes than themselves have all my admiration, and a little envy.

2024.06.02 09:47 relationshipguy254 what to do if you see your narcissistic ex out in a public setting after going no contact
Let's be real, seeing an ex who treated you like trash is never fun and easy, especially if they were heavily narcissistic and manipulative. After you finally went no contact to escape their mind games, running into them in public can stir up all those old feelings of anger, hurt, and confusion. You may feel panicky and anxious, not knowing what to do. Should you greet them, smile, or just walk away as if you don’t even know them? So, what do you do when you see your narcissistic ex in a public setting, especially when you’re practicing full no contact with them?
First thing's first, don't break no contact. I know the urge to scream at them or rehash the past might be strong, but engaging with a narc never ends well. They'll just suck you back into their toxic world of manipulation. The smartest move is to act like they don't even exist. Give them no acknowledgement, no reaction, non-whatsoever. Gray rock your way in that public place if you can.
If you have to be in the same space, avoid them as much as possible. Don't make eye contact, don't linger near them, just go about your business. If they try to approach you or get a rise out of you, keep calm and walk away. Narcs thrive on getting an emotional reaction, so denying them that takes away their power. Narcissists know how to press your buttons and may go to great lengths, even resorting to public humiliation, to provoke you. You don't have to play the hero or waste your energy explaining logical nuances to them. It’s wiser to look foolish or even run away than to stand there trying to call them out or engage in a verbal fight. There's no point in fighting; by staying away, you’re already winning, and there’s much more to gain by maintaining your distance.
Chances are they'll try to bait you by pretending everything is all right or playing the victim. Don't fall for it! They're just fishing for supply and haven't changed one bit behind that fake facade. Your mind might try to compare your current life with their seemingly flamboyant and "clean" appearance, but don't listen to that voice. It's the same voice that hooked you during the love-bombing phase, when you fell for their looks and superficial charm, ignoring the underlying emptiness. Stay strong in the knowledge that their issues have nothing to do with you. You broke free, and they're just bitter they can't control you anymore.
If you start feeling triggered by their presence, take a breather. Go to the bathroom, call a friend, do some deep breathing - whatever you need to recenter yourself. Remind yourself how far you've come in your healing and that this narc holds no power over you now.
The bottom line is, you're the one who got out. Don't let one accidental run-in erase all your progress. Stay cool, stay strong, and keep looking towards your bright, narc-free future. You've got this!

First thing's first, don't break no contact. I know the urge to scream at them or rehash the past might be strong, but engaging with a narc never ends well. They'll just suck you back into their toxic world of manipulation. The smartest move is to act like they don't even exist. Give them no acknowledgement, no reaction, non-whatsoever. Gray rock your way in that public place if you can.
If you have to be in the same space, avoid them as much as possible. Don't make eye contact, don't linger near them, just go about your business. If they try to approach you or get a rise out of you, keep calm and walk away. Narcs thrive on getting an emotional reaction, so denying them that takes away their power. Narcissists know how to press your buttons and may go to great lengths, even resorting to public humiliation, to provoke you. You don't have to play the hero or waste your energy explaining logical nuances to them. It’s wiser to look foolish or even run away than to stand there trying to call them out or engage in a verbal fight. There's no point in fighting; by staying away, you’re already winning, and there’s much more to gain by maintaining your distance.
Chances are they'll try to bait you by pretending everything is all right or playing the victim. Don't fall for it! They're just fishing for supply and haven't changed one bit behind that fake facade. Your mind might try to compare your current life with their seemingly flamboyant and "clean" appearance, but don't listen to that voice. It's the same voice that hooked you during the love-bombing phase, when you fell for their looks and superficial charm, ignoring the underlying emptiness. Stay strong in the knowledge that their issues have nothing to do with you. You broke free, and they're just bitter they can't control you anymore.
If you start feeling triggered by their presence, take a breather. Go to the bathroom, call a friend, do some deep breathing - whatever you need to recenter yourself. Remind yourself how far you've come in your healing and that this narc holds no power over you now.
The bottom line is, you're the one who got out. Don't let one accidental run-in erase all your progress. Stay cool, stay strong, and keep looking towards your bright, narc-free future. You've got this!

2024.06.02 09:47 blame_autism is this the sort of old person i meet at the concert hall
To which civilization do we want to belong? The exclusion of many African-Americas has resulted into a subculture which offers an alternative to cultural symbols which are perceived as signifying white oppressors. When the white youth embraces this subculture and prefers it to classical music, it is simply mob influence and taking the easy route. Elevating the subculture to educational levels is an entirely political gesture and has nothing to do with music whatsoever…… it is legitimizing primitivism, and a gesture of identification with the right of not belonging to the West and its history, with the ‘liberation’ from the incentive to know about things that are better, to grow up to become a mature adult. There is an expression in such phenomenae of being tired of the notion of ‘civilization’, of controlling primitive instincts, and a deep longing for the primitive jungle of unthinking and unfeeling, as can also be noticed in the spreading fashion of setting tattoos, wearing piercings (sometimes through lips, noses and eye brows, and unprintable places): a longing for the animalistic existence without burdens, while in the same time pampered by the conveniences of modernity.
To talk about these utterly disgusting products as a serious art form, i.e. a form of expression which has something of artistic / aesthetic qualities, only reveals a complete lack of understanding what art is. There are two meanings of the term ‘culture’: 1) the artistic products of a civilization, representing the best this civilization is capable of; 2) the way people live, so: culture in a much wider sense. Only in this 2nd sense are these examples items of culture and what kind of culture? It is aggressive, nihilistic, celebrating the worst of what the human being is capable of: the underworld of subhuman life. And that the musicians make use of musical tropes, albeit of the most primitive kind, does not make it better.

2024.06.02 09:46 SharowPUBG A friend is mentally suffering from sexual abuse, how can I help her?
tldr: She (21f moroccan) is very shy, met a man, texted with him, went to him to say goodbye, blacked out kind of overwhelmed with everything in a state where she would easily be taken advantage of, he forced her to blow, no penetration, yelled at her, got her out of the house. She blamed herself, said she's gonna kill herself if she got aids (she had a wound from an OP in her mouth so it's technically possible I guess), now realizes she's been abused and can't stop turning her head of, bad sleep, no apetite. Now she wants to report it to the police and writes everything down
She trusts my advice, so I feel very overwhelmed with my responsibility, my advice could help or destroy her (maybe not, idk)
About her
Over a year ago I met her on an App called "HelloTalk", it's for learning languages and she reached out to me to help her with german. Yes, Im german and we've never seen each other in real life. We've been chatting regularly since and talked about all kinds of stuff. From what I can tell she has a big heart, would help people even though it might not give her anything. Her life in that time had some difficulties with studying, but it seemed manageable to me until everything fell apart.
She discovered that she has breast cancer. It made going through day to day life difficult, she was strong and tried her best to continue, continue to study. She sometimes would fall behind, because she wasnt allowed to stress herself or had Operations done to her during lessons.
The abuser
It was that time when she met J. They met on a dating app "hinge". They had good conversations it seemed and so met up in real life. She told me about it and it made me happy, I was hoping maybe she found a nice person. She liked him. She even got a little jealous when he talked to the receptionist, since she is not a social butterfly. I tried encouraging her at the time, that she's great and if he's any good he'll see. I remember her sending me a voice note crying, she wanted to make him a christmas present and spend the whole day trying to get like a small wooden surf-board with some words imprinted. But the people she asked for the service did a poor job, but promised to fix it and didn't so she went somewhere else and something there failed too. It was just supposed to me a small gift, she wouldn't even write her name on it, she just thought, maybe it will make the person happy.
What happened
J was gonna leave the country and so she wanted to say goodbye, in person. She took a taxi and was very nervous. It was far out of her comfort zone to do this, but she pushed herself. Her plan was to say goodbye, maybe give him a hug and leave. He had different plans though. In retrospect I should have read the signs, he wanted to meet up earlier times, but it was very far for her and she didn't feel safe. That's why she's also a little nervous, she's far from home (maybe 1-2 hours). He never pushed it, but always wanted her to come to him.
I dont know exactly what happened at this point. He must have said that he has something for her and she should come in. They went upstairs and then he hugged her, her giving no signs that she is comfortable happy or any consent, he started kissing her, and that's when she must have been so overwhelmed that she was kind of in a shock. You know after all she's also a muslim. She couldn't process what happened fast enough and that's when he pulled out his dick and made her blow it, yelling at her, that was the thing she remembered most, is him yelling, she told me crying "he yelled at me".
After
She started blaming herself, why would she be so stupid, why did she trust him, why couldn't she say anything
She fell out of uni, because she couldn't focus on anything other than this. It gave her sleepless nights
She worried that she would get HIV and made a test, telling me she'd kill herself if it was positive. I tried my best calling her, telling her it's not her fault... I had a long list of reasons not to, prepared when she tells me the result and luckily it was negative. That's when I first started this draft and actually it went up hill.
She chatted with him even after it and he is the most disgusting thing I've seen. He doesn't feel any guilt, instead kicks her when she's on the floor. When she tells him that he destroyed her, he sends pictures of him having fun, telling her he misses her mouth.
She finally blocked him and it reliefed her, she realized she's been abused. Even though she cant stop thinking about it every day, crying, she got out of that self-blaming attitude. Instead she wants to report it to the police now. All she has is the chat between him and her, which is very vivid and she translates it to arabic... Im not a police officer, not a lawyer, and I dont know morocco, but I have doubts that this is going to lead to anything. She's full tunnel visions into it wanting to finish this. Nobody is on her side, they say she's 18, so she should have taken care of herself. Not only her parents but also institutions that should help people in this situation
I hope when she's done gathering up every detail, she gets it out of her head. I just want her to find peace.
I already told her that she shouldn't expect too much coming out, so that it wont hurt as much if nothing happens. But I have to support her with it, it seems, she has nobody else who would help her
She looks up to me, so what advice can I give her?

2024.06.02 09:46 NegotiationPitiful55 my(19F) friends(18 F) family has been making vacation miserable and aggressive
TL;DR at the bottom.
This trip hasn’t been any fun at all and I want to go home already but unfortunately I am here for another 2-3 days. I wanted to go on vacay to get away from MY mom bc she's such a narcissist and i wanted to relax.I’ve tried to make light of the situation until it got worse yesterday.
I Yesterday, we went to a resort in Mexico because the family had a one day pass. At the end of it, Dalia (my friend's 30 yr old half sister) was too drunk and she took a taxi with her 6 year old daughter and Shayla (the sister's friend). We were originally supposed to go shopping at the mall after the resort and eat at an Italian restaurant within the resort but that did not go to plan which was okay at the time. After those 3 leave, it was just me, my friend May and her parents. I thought we were going to go shopping like they said we would because that is something everyone, especially me lol also wanted to do. We didn't even do that and the only reason they even took us to the shopping strip in the first place was because they wanted to buy weed. They didn't even say that initially and I only found that out because they kept getting agitated bc they couldn't find the McDonald's they were trying to use as a land marker. But I knew where the McDonalds was and I was very confused as to why they weren't listening to me when I was telling them where it was. I just assumed they wanted McDonald's since the food at the resort wasn't the best.
My friend told me that they wouldn't directly say they were getting weed because "they still need to be somewhat of a good influence" or something like that, like what?? They haven't been that this WHOLE trip and nobody is fucking dumb. They've been smoking and talking about weed this whole time in front of us/me. So why does THAT matter now ? Why tf would I care you're adults?? I literally have wanted weed this whole time anyway and already bought alcohol.
This is the worst part. After we come back from the whole McDonalds shit, the four of us get into a taxi to go back to the Airbnb. When we arrive in front of our residence, the dad pulls out his card but the driver says he only takes cash. The dad flips his shit, says he's scamming him or whatever. The ride was 200 pesos, which is 10 USD. He says the driver is scamming him because he has been paying with his card the whole time in other taxis. Fhe mom thinks they're being scammed too. The dad was about to punch the driver in the face over ten fucking dollars??? The mom and my friend had to convince him to fucking stop and he kept getting mad at the daughter telling her to get tf inside. I had to end up paying (again) the ten dollars because I had cash. I say again because at the start of the trip, I had to pay 80 dollars for the cab to the Airbnb bc the dad didn't have service to pay so I used the cash I had. I did get the money back but still. wtf. Also they were not being scammed and if they were it wasn't even THAT bad because all of the taxis are 10 to 17 dollars from the mall to where we live. Theiithink it's a scam because he wanted cash. I had a taxi driver when I snuck out once because there wasn't any food and I was STARVING, I asked him if he takes cash or card and he said cash, but it was still all the same price. They don't know I snuck out and I'm glad I didn't tell my friend that I did because she would have told them. probably.
The next day, which is today, I wake up and everybody is just fucking gone besides my friend and her sisters daughter. This pisses me off because they have left us, to baby sit the little girl AGAIN for idek how many times they've done that. It's extremely fucking annoying I haven't even been able to enjoy the trip and my friend damn sure has not either. she said she was really embarrassed yesterday to the dad and wouldn't have invited me if the parents were gonna act like they do at home with/around me. The dad "apologizes" today saying "Im sorry for being so embarrassing" like what?
They told us to go shop and have fun. To not let any of the shit that happened ruin the fun. Idk how that's possible but whatever I might as well. My friend didn't want to go shopping because she was crying and upset today. I was getting dressed because I said I am just going then because I was so sick of not being able to do ONE thing I wanted to. She then ended up coming with but then her phone not charging ruined her mood again and she wasn't going anymore. I was given money to use from home and was determined to just use it.I just wanted to do something fun for fucking once. I told my narc mom I was going to go out with or without my friend because it would have been BAD at home for me had I not enforced that. She kept pleading me not to go alone but I was persisting and wasn't asking. She just ended up telling me she's worried and to just be safe. Wasn't mad.
I walked out and paid for the taxi. I only went because it was only a 3-5 minute taxi ride to the public mall to shop. My friend then calls me asking if I left and why'd I go without her?? She literally didn't even want to go anymore and I said that. She tells me she insists I come back and she said it wasn't smart to leave and that "I'll get snatched up". Her parents and everyone were angry with me she said. First of all, her parents and everyone else kept fucking walking away from us without saying a word as to where they were heading. could have been fucking kidnapped multiple times because of them since that's the damn problem. I didn't even want to go alone initially, but it was bright as day outside, I am sick of this family and I'd rather be alone and do what I want to do, since that's clearly never gonna happen with them. Plus I shouldn't have to rely on company or anyone to have fun, especially at this point. Her mom gets on the phone and just tells me to come back bc she's responsible for me but then is like "because if you don't come back Im going to have to call your mom". I can never get a break away from my mom no matter the damn situation it seems. That was literally not needed at all. She called her anyway regardless of me saying I was coming back.
Also now im being accused of stealing their fucking weed they leave out on the counter. I don't need ur fucking weed if I WANTED weed (which I have this whole time but that was only between me and my friend) I can BUY my own weed with the money I have. The first time my friend asked me I didn't care because it was just a question out of concern. Today she asked me a second time and now I am feeling accused. She said her dad thinks I took it because my laptop was there. EVERYBODYS STUFF HAS BEEN DOWNSTAIRS. How is that even a good accusation and you're asking me the second time. There was no way it was not Shayla because she kept walking away to ask strangers for fucking cigarettes day 1 of the trip. then walked away AGAIN that day to try and buy some. She was also downstairs at like 5am one time bc I went downstairs to go outside rq and I saw her doing god knows what in the dark. I don't even think they even tried to question her about it, since she's been smoking with them but instead have only been accusing me.
I have tried to be very respectful to my friend's family because I don't want to be rude or say anything bad since that's her family. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to deal with it though and if I'm accused a third time I am going to fucking snap and probably cuss someone out. I am also trying not to get into any trouble at home because whether it's reasonable or not my mom is going to say I was being disrespectful and take their side on that regard.
TL;DR: I am on vacation in Mexico with my friends family and my patience has been tested this whole entire time. i've been accused of stealing weed twice which I have NOT done at all and it doesn't seem like they've asked anyone else. The dad threatened to punch the taxi driver over ten dollars bc he thought the taxi driver was scamming him when he wasn't. I had to pay for the ten dollars in cash and I also paid 80 initially at the start of trip for the taxi because the dad didn't have service on his phone.

I had to pay for the ten dollars in cash and I also paid 80 initially at the start of trip for the taxi because the dad didn't have service on his phone.
2024.06.02 09:46 AnonymousWebDummy Championship Squad Evaluation Part 2: Midfield
Attacking Midfielders
I think Reuben will be an asset at this level and if Tyler stays as an attacking mid instead of going to the wing then i can't wait to see how he developes his game to championship level. With the way Des seems to like playing, I suspect we're always going to want to have two very attacking midfielders, which means we'd want some depth. Both Cam and mcguane can step into that role but I'd still like to see us bring in one attack minded midfielder to compete. It's a low priority for me and where I'll be happy even if it's someone who is a quality squad player rather than clear starter.
Defensive midfielder
Cam is Cam and i don't have much to say other than we're obviously very comfortable here as long as he's healthy and we keep playing with a single defensive mid. I actually think he's gotten better under Des, partly because it looks like he's been asked to play more defensively and also because he's taking less long shots (something that always annoyed me). I think mcguane can also play this role very well, including if we were to play any kind of formation with 2 defensive mids. If that is something Des wants to do or if long term he wants to push one of mcguane/cam into a more attacking role then I'd really want us to bring in a starting quality defensive mid this summer
Overall
This is probably where i feel we need the least help. I'm not sure how i feel about mceachran at this level but the team clearly have confidence he at minimum be a quality squad player if they are trying to bring him back. I think we need to bring in two midfielders (counting mceachran as one if he stays) but it's pretty low on the priority list for me compared to some of the others. Depending on what Des has in mind for how we play, I think we need either an attacking mid who can contribute but doesn't necessarily need to be a regular starter or a quality starting defensive mid to go along with one versatile squad player (mceachran potentially).

2024.06.02 09:45 DifficultRoad What are realistic expectations? (37F, BMI 18, sedentary for 20+ years, chronically ill)
Hello everyone! :)
I want to get a feeling for what kind of fitness goals are realistically possible for someone in my position - mainly because a big part of me giving up stuff is having sky-high expecations, then falling short, then stopping altogether. Since I need to get in better shape for my crap health, I don't want this to happen again. So I thought it might be helpful to get a very realistic perspective beforehand.
As the title says I don't have the best starting point. I had a pretty active childhood, but the last time I did any sport was in my mid-teens 💀 I sometimes take longer walks, but that's pretty much it. Especially during winter I lead a VERY sedentary life. On top of that I have various chronic conditions, worst of all I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 4 years ago, which is the most pressing reason for improving my fitness level. Since I might become disabled at any given time due to MS, I also thought I want to make the most of my - so far - mobile state before it's over.
Chronic illness aside, I'm in general interested what are achievable goals for someone in my position (= really bad fitness level) for cardio training, strength, flexibility etc. It feels like the internet is full of people, who either focus on weight loss (not a goal for me) or healthy people in their 20s with an already average-to-good fitness level. I'm also very curious about time frames for achieving certain milestones (e.g. running a certain distance at a certain time, being able to do this or that yoga position, certain milestones in strength training or body weight exercises or coordination etc.).
I realise that this is pretty vague, but I'm interested in all kinds of experiences :)

In this guide, we'll walk you through 9 essential texting tips for dating. If you want to become a texting pro and ensure your conversations lead to successful dates and deeper connections, check out Magnetic Messaging. It's a comprehensive guide to mastering your text game, even if you've only just met her. You can get Magnetic Messaging here. 1. Start with a Strong OpenerYour first text should be engaging and memorable. Reference something funny or interesting from your initial conversation. For example, "Hey [her name], I had a great time talking about [shared interest] with you. Looking forward to continuing our chat!" This helps her remember you and sets a positive tone for your conversation).2. Use Proper Grammar and SpellingGood grammar and spelling matter more than you might think. They make you appear more intelligent and serious about your communication. Avoid using excessive abbreviations and chatspeak, which can be confusing and make a bad impression.3. Mirror Her Texting StyleMatch her texting style in terms of tone, length of messages, and use of emojis. If she uses a lot of emojis, feel free to do the same. If her texts are more formal, adjust your style accordingly. This creates a sense of rapport and makes her feel more comfortable.4. Keep It Light and FunHumor can be a great way to build attraction and make your conversations enjoyable. Share funny anecdotes, jokes, or playful comments that relate to your conversation. Just ensure your humor is in good taste and not at anyone's expense.5. Ask Open-Ended QuestionsTo keep the conversation flowing, ask open-ended questions that require more than a yes or no answer. For instance, instead of asking, "Did you have a good day?" try "What was the best part of your day?" This encourages her to share more and keeps the dialogue engaging.6. Be Present and EngagedShow genuine interest in what she’s saying. Avoid distractions and focus on her messages. Ask follow-up questions based on her responses to show that you’re truly engaged in the conversation.7. Avoid Over-TextingTexting too frequently can make you seem needy or overly eager. Let the conversation flow naturally and give her space to miss you. If she doesn't respond immediately, don’t bombard her with follow-up messages. It's important to respect her time and pace.8. Know When to End the ConversationKnowing when to end the conversation can leave her wanting more. Ending on a high note and expressing that you enjoyed chatting can make her look forward to the next conversation. For example, you could say, "I've got to run, but I've really enjoyed chatting with you. Let's catch up again soon!"9. Suggest Interesting Date IdeasWhen you feel the time is right, suggest meeting up. Be creative with your date ideas to make them more appealing. Instead of a generic "wanna hang out?", try something like, "I have two tickets to a stand-up comedy show this Sunday. Care to join me?" or "I really enjoy talking to you. How about we continue the conversation over coffee this weekend?"By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of texting for dating.

2024.06.02 09:39 throw-away-262627363 AITAH for genuinely hating my sister for the way she treats our mother?
this is a long one so strap in
For years now, my older sister has always put herself as a victim for everything. My sister comes from a different dad than I do and we both now have the same step dad. Growing up was hard for both of us, my sisters biological dad being an addict and mine being a deadbeat.
My mom had a ridiculously hard life as well, but turned her life around as soon as she found out she was pregnant with my sister. She got clean, got a job, etc. During this time of my mother getting clean, my sister stayed with our aunt, my mom's sister, for around three months. I was staying with my biological father. I'd like to mention as well that my biological father did not treat my mother right at all. He would often try to seem like the better parent by buying me expensive gifts and taking me out to places, trying to win the title of the favorite parent while talking about how bad my mom was for coloring her hair and having tattoos.
When I was still little, I had something disgusting happen to me by someone in my family, so the attention was on me for a little while. My mom still went out of her way to make sure my sister was still being given attention too, fearing that she would feel alone and confused.
After the mess of this stuff finally settled down and my mom won custody over me, my mom met my stepdad and we all moved out of the city and into a nice house. My parents tried to give us everything we never got to experience, nice family vacations to places we'd never been, renaissance fairs, bigger birthday parties, all that stuff. I've always been incredibly grateful, mostly for my mother. This woman had been abused and mistreated a majority of her life and she still somehow finds a way to be the most supportive and kindest parent out there. I respect her for everything that she did for me and my sister. My sister, on the other hand, treats her like garbage. My mom has tried everything to get through to her, tried to communicate with her, relate with her, take her out to places, and my sister literally does not care. Once, my mom tried talking to her about her past and she literally said "no one cares about what happened to you, mom."
She makes up these scenarios where my mom and step dad apparently abused her, when really they were standard punishments like taking her phone away when she did something she wasn't supposed to when she was a teenager. I need to clarify here that she is 29 years old now and still acting like this. Even when she dropped out of college and asked to go to beauty school, my parents understood and paid for her to go. She then told everyone thay they "forced her to go" when she decided that she didn't like it.
My sister never cared about anyone truly. She posts online about how caring and compassionate she is, how much she loves her husband and our mom and dad, but when it came to reality, she basically turned the other way. No matter how upset or angry I got about this, she would either laugh at me or completely shut me down and walk away.
She even posted a status on Facebook on mother's day wishing our aunt a happy mother's day instead of our mother. My aunt, just to mention, despises me because I was a frustrating child, I think around 11 or 12, and holds it against me, a now 25 year old. My mother no longer has a relationship with her due to that.
My step dad ended up getting a really good job and had to move across the country with my mom, so they had decided to let my sister and I continue living in this house while paying them a small amount of rent. We weren't prepared enough to move out on our own at the time yet, so this was a very kind offer that the both of us and her husband took up. The house is big and we wouldn't be paying for utilities, so it was an incredibly generous thing for them to do. All my sister would do is talk about how my parents "forced" her to stay in this house with me and how gross and disgusting the house was. There was nothing wrong with the house and no one forced her to stay in the house at all. It was completely her choice, I was there when she accepted the option.
Our parents gave us a whole house. An entire house to live in with rent lower than anywhere else. And she was ungrateful. Angry, even.
My mother had surgery two weeks ago and everyone messaged her, wishing her a speedy recovery, even my friends, and my sister didn't message her about it at all. Instead, she messaged my mom about finances. On the day of her surgery. My stepdad, who usually stays out of drama stuff, was so angry that he messaged my sister calling her out on how hurtful this was. Her excuse was that she "had a lot on her mind and forgot." My mom was so hurt that she hasn't been responding to my sister's messages as of late.
Now my sister is posting on Facebook about how no one understands her and how she's tired of having to explain herself? My mom has felt heartbroken and dejected about this and doesn't understand why my sister is acting like this. She's scared that if she were to ask about this and make her own reddit story, everyone would call her the asshole because she likely failed as a parent. I genuinely don't think that my mother failed, I can't understand why my sister is like this and I actually hate her for it. Am I the asshole?

For years now, my older sister has always put herself as a victim for everything. My sister comes from a different dad than I do and we both now have the same step dad. Growing up was hard for both of us, my sisters biological dad being an addict and mine being a deadbeat.
My mom had a ridiculously hard life as well, but turned her life around as soon as she found out she was pregnant with my sister. She got clean, got a job, etc. During this time of my mother getting clean, my sister stayed with our aunt, my mom's sister, for around three months. I was staying with my biological father. I'd like to mention as well that my biological father did not treat my mother right at all. He would often try to seem like the better parent by buying me expensive gifts and taking me out to places, trying to win the title of the favorite parent while talking about how bad my mom was for coloring her hair and having tattoos.
When I was still little, I had something disgusting happen to me by someone in my family, so the attention was on me for a little while. My mom still went out of her way to make sure my sister was still being given attention too, fearing that she would feel alone and confused.
After the mess of this stuff finally settled down and my mom won custody over me, my mom met my stepdad and we all moved out of the city and into a nice house. My parents tried to give us everything we never got to experience, nice family vacations to places we'd never been, renaissance fairs, bigger birthday parties, all that stuff. I've always been incredibly grateful, mostly for my mother. This woman had been abused and mistreated a majority of her life and she still somehow finds a way to be the most supportive and kindest parent out there. I respect her for everything that she did for me and my sister. My sister, on the other hand, treats her like garbage. My mom has tried everything to get through to her, tried to communicate with her, relate with her, take her out to places, and my sister literally does not care. Once, my mom tried talking to her about her past and she literally said "no one cares about what happened to you, mom."
She makes up these scenarios where my mom and step dad apparently abused her, when really they were standard punishments like taking her phone away when she did something she wasn't supposed to when she was a teenager. I need to clarify here that she is 29 years old now and still acting like this. Even when she dropped out of college and asked to go to beauty school, my parents understood and paid for her to go. She then told everyone thay they "forced her to go" when she decided that she didn't like it.
My sister never cared about anyone truly. She posts online about how caring and compassionate she is, how much she loves her husband and our mom and dad, but when it came to reality, she basically turned the other way. No matter how upset or angry I got about this, she would either laugh at me or completely shut me down and walk away.
She even posted a status on Facebook on mother's day wishing our aunt a happy mother's day instead of our mother. My aunt, just to mention, despises me because I was a frustrating child, I think around 11 or 12, and holds it against me, a now 25 year old. My mother no longer has a relationship with her due to that.
My step dad ended up getting a really good job and had to move across the country with my mom, so they had decided to let my sister and I continue living in this house while paying them a small amount of rent. We weren't prepared enough to move out on our own at the time yet, so this was a very kind offer that the both of us and her husband took up. The house is big and we wouldn't be paying for utilities, so it was an incredibly generous thing for them to do. All my sister would do is talk about how my parents "forced" her to stay in this house with me and how gross and disgusting the house was. There was nothing wrong with the house and no one forced her to stay in the house at all. It was completely her choice, I was there when she accepted the option.
Our parents gave us a whole house. An entire house to live in with rent lower than anywhere else. And she was ungrateful. Angry, even.
My mother had surgery two weeks ago and everyone messaged her, wishing her a speedy recovery, even my friends, and my sister didn't message her about it at all. Instead, she messaged my mom about finances. On the day of her surgery. My stepdad, who usually stays out of drama stuff, was so angry that he messaged my sister calling her out on how hurtful this was. Her excuse was that she "had a lot on her mind and forgot." My mom was so hurt that she hasn't been responding to my sister's messages as of late.
Now my sister is posting on Facebook about how no one understands her and how she's tired of having to explain herself? My mom has felt heartbroken and dejected about this and doesn't understand why my sister is acting like this. She's scared that if she were to ask about this and make her own reddit story, everyone would call her the asshole because she likely failed as a parent. I genuinely don't think that my mother failed, I can't understand why my sister is like this and I actually hate her for it. Am I the asshole?

Me and best friend have been in each other’s lives since we were 12 years old. We’re both 27 now. I’ve lived an hour and 20 mins away from her since I’ve been 13 years old. There’s always been that distance but no matter what we always kept in contact. I’ve always made the drive to see her and spend time with her. Fast forward to 2023, she becomes pregnant. I’m so happy for her. Excited and buying stuff for the baby already. She gives birth in June and I’ve never been so happy and proud of her. Legit cried when i saw him. It’s October now. She’s invited me to her baby’s baptism. There were 2 times stated on the invitation, one for the church and one for the venue. So the week of I reached out to find out if we’re meeting at her house or the church. She tells me to just go to the venue instead. I get there with my boyfriend. You know when you feel a certain vibe? Like an uncomfortable/ awkward vibe? I felt it in my stomach but I ignored it and start to say hi to her and her whole family. We sit at our designated table. I start to hear conversation from her friends about how the church was. I look at my boyfriend confused because I assumed it was only family. That made me questioned why were these people there? Friends that I was just introduced to 2 months ago, but I wasn’t? I’ve been feeling very weird with our relationship. As if we’re outgrowing each other. So i posted to my finsta just expressing how I felt. She saw it and she called me. She said what is this about? I said “ it’s just been how I’ve been feeling about us. i find out that everyone was at the church, but me? “ she said “ well where were you during my pregnancy? I barely saw you.” Now at this moment I’m thinking of all the times I’ve seen her thought out the year which was normal amount of times we seen each other. So i said “you never called or texted me about anything during your pregnancy. Never said anything that you needed me.” She said “i shouldn’t have to. You stopped prioritizing me. I thought it would be different when i gave birth but no.” (A little background on me. I have a full time job working overnights in a hospital. Started going back to school full-time in September of 2023 for nursing school. I have my own relationship and dog-ter. My own apartment which went up 50% this year too. A lot has been going on with me as well) I told her I just started school again, and the times i have off i spend it studying or relaxing at home. She said “well you could’ve made at effort, we couldn’t deal with him as a newborn.” I said “well again you never said anything” she said “you didn’t think my instagram posts meant anything ?” To be honest, saying stuff on instagram is completely different from actually reaching out to people. I told her “i figured you wanted to be alone since you’re figuring out how to be new parents” she said “how dare you make decisions for me. Do you know how it was not to make you a Godmother?” I start to bawl my eyes out. The way you get when you’re trying to catch your breath type of cry. Because we’ve always talked about that since we were kids. Making each other the Godmother to each other’s kid. I said “yes that hurt me” through my sobs. Trying to hold it together so i can speak. She said since i wasn’t there for her that I deserve that title. I’ve always been there for her for anything. She calls and I come. No matter what. I make arrangements. I’ll try to be there. She said that I couldn’t even make it to her baby shower. Which she’s right i couldn’t. Back in May of 2023, she was telling me when she was planning the baby shower. I told her that weekend is my little brother’s graduation in the of Florida. So i wouldn’t even be in NY. I begged her to make it for the following weekend so I can attend because i really wanted to be there. I was buying stuff every week till the baby shower to make her a baby shower basket. With diapers of every size. Wipes. Even hair clips for her too. So she knew i wouldn’t be there and still chose to plan it that day anyways. So i didn’t push anymore it’s her day, but i made sure my boyfriend was there. He helped set up and get the cake. He bought the gifts i bought them even the high chair. Now back to our conversation, i told her it was my little brother’s high school graduation. You knew this. She said okay? You could’ve came for a little bit and left that night. I said no. I was with my family. That’s why i asked for the following weekend. She said “well no why would i change it for ONE person?” I said “okay so why are you mad ?” I’m sorry but i wasn’t not missing my only little brother’s high school graduation. So she didn’t make me a godmother meanwhile her child has 5 Godmothers. I wasn’t 1. There’s other situations that have happened as well throughout the years. But this was the icing on the cake. Something I cannot forgive in my heart. It hurts so much. She’s MY ONLY best friend. She has an army behind her. I would’ve done anything for her. I’ve always showed up for her when she called me. I’ve always made her a priority. But now that I’m trying to better myself and the one time I’m finally thinking of me. I’m the fucked up friend ? So Am I the asshole?

2024.06.02 09:38 coolbeansleens Am I crazy or are my parents just being entitled Boomers?
My (38F) parents (late 60s M&F) are having a bit of a crisis right now because of my brother (36M) and SIL (32F). My SIL just had their baby and she wanted to have it in her home country so she could be close to her parents and have their support. None of us were overly thrilled with the idea, mostly because we all care about my brother and felt like he was being robbed of an important life experience.
He was only able to get a week off work, and because the date babies are actually born is fairly unpredictable, he had to wait until the baby was already born before he could visit. He wasn't there for the birth of his first child. Furthermore, she then had to remain in her home country, with the baby, for months until they could get a passport, so my brother didn't see his child again for the first 3 months of it's life.
Regardless, we supported her decision, as she was the one giving birth. I recently had a baby myself so I understand how vulnerable you can feel during that time, and how important it is to stand up for yourself and set boundaries for you and your child. That's why, when they SIL made plans to return to our country, I wasn't surprised when we were informed she wouldn't be up for visitors the first week after traveling.
I completely understood and even encouraged it - I couldn't imagine taking a 10-hour flight with a 3 month old, the stress of it and the jet lag, and my husband working full time from the moment I get back, only to have to entertain visitors who just want to hold the baby. I let them know to just get settled (and for my bro to get some quality time with his baby he hasn't seen) and let us know when they're ready for visitors.
My parents, however, took this as a personal attack. As soon as they found out they weren't allowed to bombard my brother's family at the airport they've been on a tear about how this is extremely disrespectful to them. How in "their day" (ie when my brother and I were babies) they had to entertain all sorts of visitors all the time because it was expected, they weren't 'allowed' to say no. When I point out that that's a hazing mentality ("I had to suffer so you should too") and an extremely ill way to think, they'll say something like "we want them to do what's best for them.... But I guess now we know where we stand". They've also mentioned that they "were good enough to help them buy their house but not good enough to visit their own grandchild" and that they're being treated like "second-class citizens".
My SIL finally made a concession that they could come over for 2 hours this weekend (literally 2 days after she's gotten home) and this has only served to anger then even more. Apparently my brother isn't "standing up" for them, and what "really" bothers them is that it's clear SIL just "doesn't want them around".
I've tried to explain to them SIL's perspective, that she's dealing with sleep deprivation and wacky hormones, not to mention the travelling and finally getting to be a family again with my brother I've explained that ultimately she's just setting boundaries, and they should respect them since she is trying to respect their wants. I've explained they're not "owed" anything, regardless of how much they helped out with the house purchase. It wasn't a transaction, it was a gift. They can't trade financial help for dedicated baby time.
My mum hasn't responded to my latest text, though, which outlines all that, despite having read it. So now I'm wondering if I'm wrong, if I too am being disrespectful. Do they deserve to see their grandchild within hours of its arrival in our country, without having a time limit set on their visit?

2024.06.02 09:37 4quamarin3 Two quotes from Marcus Aurelius I don't fully understand (8.47 and 8.48).
Hi. Can anyone help me better understand the below two quotes from "Meditations"?
1st quote (8.47):
If thou art pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it. And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now. But if anything in thy own disposition gives thee pain, who hinders thee from correcting thy opinion? And even if thou art pained because thou art not doing some particular thing which seems to thee to be right, why dost thou not rather act than complain ?—But some insuperable obstacle is in the way?—Do not be grieved then, for the cause of its not being done depends not on thee—But it is not worth while to live, if this cannot be done—Take thy departure then from life contentedly, just as he dies who is in full activity, and well -pleased too with the things which are obstacles.
And even if thou art pained because thou art not doing some particular thing which seems to thee to be right, why dost thou not rather act than complain ?
Does it mean that if something is stopping you from doing something, you still should do it anyway? And if there are external obstacles then you should enjoy those obstacles? English is not my first language and it's a little hard to understand.
I don't quite understand the last sentence: Take thy departure then from life contentedly*, just as he dies who is in full activity, and well -pleased too with the things which are obstacles.*
Does it mean that if a man sees a purpose in his life, but at the same time there's obstacle preventing him from going along with this purpose, then a man should just try to find a pleasure in these obstacles? And accept that you can't fulfill your purpose?
2nd quote (8.48):
Remember that the ruling faculty is invincible, when self-collected it is satisfied with itself, if it does nothing which it does not choose to do, even if it resist from mere obstinacy. What then will it be when it forms a judgment about anything aided by reason and deliberately? therefore the mind which is free from passions is a citadel, for man has nothing more secure to which he can fly for refuge and for the future be inexpugnable. He then who has not seen this is an ignorant man; but he who has seen it and does not fly to this refuge is unhappy.
Does it mean that any needs in our life create a sense of anxiety, because we may feel like we're in danger if we don't meet those needs - and because of that the only way to prevent that is not to have any needs?
Mind without needs = safe mind?

2024.06.02 09:36 sovietbiscuit Howdy!
I tried like 7 different titles, 7 different ways to phrase, none of them worked so eh, you get a howdy.
Was introduced to this via the Tangi Virus, through Emortal Marcus.
Normally this is where a huge heap of praise goes, and certainly not unwarranted. But how about something more precise?
The universe here has certain caught my interests, and a few of the characters have never left my mind (Julia Williams is one such character that I've pretty much held onto, and when a person with terrible memory can remember a character this long after seeing it, you know it was well made)
As of late, I've noticed I've also become almost infatuated with 'The Swarm' video. Something about it was... I don't know how best to word it. I just can't help but think about it. Like a deep desire to learn more, hear more. The few videos we saw of people coming into contact with the swarm was captivating.
Each analog horror I've watched, if I like them, has something that SPECIFICALLY interests me.
Greylock captured a part of me that I felt a sense of dread. The more I knew about the antags of that story, the more questions I had and the more uncertainty. I mention greylock only because I view this... Universe on the same level.
What captures me about this universe is that even though I get more answers than questions as it goes, it's how things are unfolding that grips me. It's like watching weaving, watching a ball of yarn become a sweater.
But The Swarm...
It stirred an almost 'detective' like feeling in me... I just... Want to know more about it. I want to see more tapes from before the seeming defeat. Even if it comes back as a hive or something more deadly... I am filled with investigative desire to just know more about it. Just sheer, morbid curiosity. The last thoughts and worries of the attacked...
I have no clue why, I just really fell for love of knowledge I guess...
