What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[katushkin]

I've had to RMA four items from my new PC build (two actually didn't work, one didn't fit, and one i should have got the K series) and i've not even finished it yet...

[suicidal_orange]

When working I'm bothered that I can't do what I want, when not working I'm quickly (4 free hours into Saturday) reminded that there's nothing I want to do.  Not sure if more bothered by my lack of imagiation or the boredom itself but I'm definitely bothered.

Standard mid-life crysis..

Lots of peeps are in this position because signing procreative-contracts is no longer an attractive option.

For females it's straightforward, the basket of goods expire,  sell it now !!


For males, there's a 10-15yrs of mid-life w/ no restrictions.. Facing the fact that you can do anything you want.. general option-paralysis.


The most general questions..

How do you define "Better Life" ?

You have to keep in mind to make a distinction from "More"


You can decide to have MORE Money,  but TO DO WHAT WITH..

If you eat the typical western diet.. It's guaranteed..  The assured erasure of all of life's progress for most americans.


If one gets Sick in middle class, no longer middle class, chained to the medical system, forget vacations, all that money's going to big-pharma,   People don't think about out-of-pocket-cost until they get old, and it hits them like a brick from the dark.. hahahaha,    But aside from the money,  the PERSONAL Cost is most detrimental.

If one gets Sick at below middle class, plain suffering, in and out of diabetes clinics, rapid decline in health, suffering begins ~age 40, death at age 50-60


Meanwhile, the Richest rake in all that money (tax dollars collected from the middle class)

Well it seems retirees in Australia buy the biggest trailer/camper/buscamper they can and then proceed to convoy around Australia doing 70-80 on the 100 highway. The other classic move they pull is to block the entire road when trying to turn right at an intersection. They also make really dirty jokes when sitting round the picnic tables.... i suspect there is some serious swinging going on in those bus campers between 5 and 8 pm.

Video tutorials.

A well meaning individual takes a lot of time cutting/stitching together numerous takes to make something that's exactly what they would have wanted to see to do whatever the example is in the order they need to do it. Problem is I always need to do stage 7 before stage 4 so I get bored, then find myself clicking randomly on the timeline looking for the bit I ignored when it was covered as it's actually important later.  Then I have to find where I was...

Are you really supposed to sit there for 20 minutes mindlessly copying someone doing something you don't want to do?  It's like being back in school, except instead of an exam which can be blagged I actually need to learn something.

What's wrong with written tutorials with a couple of screenshots, where you have all the time in the world to experiment and can search the text for whatever when you get stuck?   No money from YouTube, that's what.

I've learned quite a bit from loads of hardware/cgi videos, but yea, not as much from videos about software (aside from showcase videos). When it was time for me to set up a Nextcloud instance on the server (and all the other various BSD/Linux things), I resorted to written instructions with screenshots. Haha, for those few occasions when I tried to follow along with video turorials about software I used mpv's scrubbing feature quite a bit.

Had to RMA two more bits for my PC today. Final pieces come tomorrow and hopefully it all works this time.

My mobile network provider has text me to say that I've run out of data. So I go to the app that lets you check your usage and I have 1.6gb of data left. I then switch to wifi which is temperamental at best at work to try and see what I can do and what my usage is because I can't load anything as i'm "out of data" but it says it can't check anything over wifi and I have to use data

Welllll, if they're elderly , chances are they have arthritis from consumption of animal products.. (into late age)..

So, it's a legitimate fear from them,  but that doesn't make it any less combative a circumstance..


THEN AGAIN, if young people of today ate 100% Veggie,  they'd naturally run hotter, (vegans have higher nominal temp),   So because the difference between internal/xternal temperature is lower,  perhaps they'd feel less affected by the heat..

--Feeeling Hot-- is.. 

The Nominal temp of meat eater is lower, because their metabolism is dampened by fat consumption.

They feel hot, because of poor circulation brought on by systemic endothelial damage.


High fat consumption induces hormones to put the body into an energy storage/conservation mode.

Peeps have this misconception that Sugar is stored,

It's energy taxing to Convert sugar into fat or fat into sugar.

The body has capacity to do both, but this is not its preferred mode of operation.


The body prefers to always HAVE SUGAR, and straight burn.


It also prefers to Store any FAT it gets, because that saves it from having to Convert excess sugars into fat. or FAT into Sugar

oh, I know science is fact... not trying to deny that... but I'm a touchy feely person... I want meat cause it's soo much tastier...


also, in this world, why should I want to get old? dying by the age of 65 is fine for me, and even better for the world in general...

I agree with everything except the 65 part.

If it was that simple, get to 65, then click off, maybe it's acceptable.

But, what is happening and is only accelerating is Debilitation beginning age at age 35, Severe suffering at age 40-50, Near death 55-60.

We've got childhood diabetes these days.

No one is afraid of Death,   it's the Hell on earth part..

Saying you don't fear dying is myopic..  no one does, on , off , so be it.


Now imagine taking that switch, Flipping it on and off at a frequency of 1Megahertz,  they have to amputate because of your diabetic foot,  you have a heart attack or a stroke, or dementia..

Straddle that for the last 15-20 yrs of life..

That's the future a person is GUARANTEED given the western style cuisine.

exactly... I run 10km every 2weeks, and go biking at least 50km every weekend

To stay on topic, it bothers me that you deflect valid arguments. I'd wager the majority of my office can run a mile or at least jog it. Anyways, running a mile or doing a pullup is not a good indicator of fitness. I can't do either, but I'm not overweight and can lift quite heavily (back in high school I was squatting 385 and power-cleaning 285). On the other hand, I can bike pretty much indefinitely. The obesity problem in America is largely due to artificial and processed foods, and you know it.

quite true actually... regarding this I noticed TP4 has "Rop-Ramen expert" in his text, which isn't quite that healthy either  )
