Same people who couldn’t stop crying after Jack Ma “disappeared”

I have only ever given a presentation once and it was atrocious. I remember my legs trembling (they had never done that before) and me not being able to come up with words. Glad that is over. I was winging it so the outcome is not surprising one bit. I could probably do an alright job if I practiced speaking but I am not keen on that. Have you considered practising? Not sure if it is worth it because it’s possible you might not want to do public speaking after being done with uni but you sound diligent so there might be value in it.

Lamar is definitely not an example of c__ning in that they explicitly uphold white supremacy. I can’t speak on him because I don’t listen to his music but from what little I have listened it is nothing like that. But the thing of interest to me is the lending of the legitimacy to white spaces. Like if you think you are sticking up to the man by performing at concussionmania half time you are deluded. Especially stuff like Grammys and Oscars are a massive circlejerk and it is kinda shameful that anyone at all gives a shit about it. Like what is the point of Beyonce winning her 40th Grammy or something like that?

sounds like bisexual but I am no expert

Mainstream press acts like China is some shady dubious entity meanwhile it is just a loop of:

• draft an explicitly laid out five year plan
• meet the goals set in said plan

Republicans like him also have the advantage that they don’t have to lie and bullshit to the extent that Democrats do. Pretending to be progressive is hard when you are a racist genociders and “tax rebate for black businessmen investing in crypto” schemes don’t go very far.

It’s more about making money for their pals rather themselves I think.

Cartoon villain and his useless henchman

Kobo ereaders are great. You can install Koreader/Plato on it super easily. Even on the stock OS you can load epubs/mobis/etc. via USB.

There was a time when I was a huge fan of the series but growing up I consider that a mistake. The last time I watched was over five years ago so I don’t remember much and have nothing to add. But this reminds me that I am supposed to try out Pokemon Scarlet, the ROM of which is sitting on my computer. I am gonna do that now.

Thank you

This type of hasbara worked before “Israel” bombed scores of hospitals and schools. Now it just makes you look like an idiot.

I see where you are coming from but I can understand the temptation of a siren song of high wage employment when the cost of living well is so enormous.

3 is not a problem. I am trying 2 right now. 1 too kinda but I will quit smoking soon too. 4 I can’t do because mental healthcare is nonexistent here.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks. I’ll look into micronutrient supplements at a later point.

know this is what makes being sober feel like shit as a baseline for most people even in the absence of stressors

I think coming to terms with reality as it is perceived while sober is an important part of being able to wean off substance abuse. There is a bit in Disco Elysium about it:

Congrats – you’re sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn’t sugar from alcohol, so you’re going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing. And it’ll be boring. Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

My outlook isn’t as bleak as this but there is a kernel of truth in there.

I used to do this too. I enjoyed social events more when I was drinking and was more fun to be around too. When sober I’m constantly on edge lmao

That’s a good idea. I might start playing football again soon. I know of a neighbour around my age who plays pickup once a week.

Yeah I stopped stressing about missed goals after the third or so failure since it’s counterproductive at best.

The enjoyment aspect is true. Disregarding how addiction can make it difficult to function normally while sober, engaging in constant binge drinking makes the drinking extremely unfun too. There is no point to it at that point.
