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

Rain analysis in Atlas 14 are severely out of date.  100 year storms are only 10 year storms now due to climate change.

This means all matters of civil engineering on today's construction projects are already inconsistent with reality's flood risk.

The gobamant says they're on it, and will have a revision by 2027. '

Between July and August of last year,

the united states experienced 5x   1-in-1000 year rainfall events.

all i ever wanted was a car, a job, and a girlfriend
the things every other person on the planet takes for granted
but after trying everything i can for the past 9 years, and every year things getting worse, i am so ****ing tired and demotivated

i just don't understand why. i don't understand what is wrong with me. these things seem to come so easily to literally everyone else, and i work so hard for so long trying everything i possibly can and still fail at everything. it does not make any sense to me.

NT, society has conditioned you to want the first 2 , in order to win the favor of the latter.

In reality, while it is true we should be competing in "some way" for female favor,  the economy is entirely nonsensical and destructive to the planet.

All of humanity is complicit in a broken system of behaviors which generate misery for most people regardless of material / social success.

The few people who can truly escape the pervasive modern nausea are exceptionally ignorant/oblivious/simple/myopic.   It is my personal belief "ONLY" that I'd rather be a sad-person than a moron.

We are already at the tail end of the anthropocene extinction.   Try to RELAX, it won't be much longer.  In all likelihood, life on earth has approximately 5 to 30 years left. The largest (2022 update) bio-diversity index tracking 38,000 species, hundreds of scientists worldwide, has recorded that 69% of animals have died since (1970).

If we survive the next 5-30 years NT, perhaps we will meet on the Fury Road.

What I imagine TP does when not working:

i just don't understand why. i don't understand what is wrong with me. these things seem to come so easily to literally everyone else

They don't. It is a question of momentum. Once you have momentum, it does not take as much effort to get up that hill. But it is as difficult from the bottom as for everyone else.

If I'm not mistaken, you live in the US also, which is not a fair society.
Just the fact that the society is car-dependent keeps people down. The prevailing stupid societal attitudes in the US keep people down and depressed.

I think that the best way (for me at least) to feel better is to experience new things, and to socialise with people. A positive attitude is contagious, and if you spend time with people with a positive attitude then you'll experience that too.
I used to be active doing cosplay (with a shoestring budget BTW), and I would always fuss and worry before an event, but eventually at the event, I experienced so much positivity that it would last me for months afterwards. That is my advice: find a social activity, among people IRL.

Finding a secure job and romance does not come naturally/easily for most people, it's extremely hard, I know I'm young so it has a lot less weight, but a lot of my friends struggle with love, like really badly. I can't give advice on anything, since I've never had a job (I focused on school instead) and at this point I'm pretty sure I'm Aromantic but what findecanor said does sound like good advice, good luck with all that.

[fohat.digs]

does not come naturally/easily for most people

The old saying "In order to have a friend, you have to be a friend." is absolutely true.

"Social" media is, in my opinion, a powerful impediment to social interaction.
It can be invaluable as a scheduling device for "real life" but all too often it just becomes a substitute for it.

Noisy's moaning about his life has been going on for years here. It's not that life never gave him a chance. He had a project management job which he himself left to prepare food for 1/3 pay.

Yes and no, social media has its problems and limitations, but it is still a higher bandwidth communication protocol vs AFK interactions.

What is happening is people are Adapting to it. Of course, more WORK, is needed to optimize its abilities and impediments.

I don't know that humans can adapt fast enough before the total destruction of the ecosystem. But it's do or die.

The past 4 years, by my count. You think you're sick of hearing about it? Try having those be the permeating thoughts of your daily life for that amount of time (or try being my therapist.) I'm so ****in tired of myself.

So you mixed 2 different rice?
How do you fry it? Just mix those veggies with rice? Any sauce?

[tp4tissue]

So you mixed 2 different rice?
How do you fry it? Just mix those veggies with rice? Any sauce?

The rice is pre-cooked before frying.

There are 2 methods for fry rice. 

Regular fry rice, you need lots of oil to prevent sticking,

Hybrid steam fry rice,  stirfry the veggies, then add 2 cups of veggie stock, then coat the top with 1.5 cm of rice, cover and steam on medium low heat for 10 minutes.

The rice absorbs the steam and frying coming off of the veggie, and you don't need any more oil than what was used to stir fry them, after 10 minutes, you toss it all together in the pot with heat off, and it mixes without burning/sticking to pot.


Regular fry rice method needs at least 5-6 table spoons of oil,  Hybrid Stir requires only ~ 1 tablespoon.


Tp4 uses 2x type of rice to get a balance of stickiness and chewy-ness.

I will do some fried rice soon.
Watched this and like it a lot

just to clarify the steam method still uses pre-cooked rice. do not add raw rice.

Water weight is so stupid. Gaining 8lbs in 2 days while fasting is ridiculous.

[tp4tissue]

[noisyturtle]

idk how it is even possible to gain nearly 10lbs in less than 48hrs, it's absurd

And another thing that is absurd; I cannot express the hate and disdain for the bus I have on such a deep and daily level
80 something outside, and I am standing at a stop with zero sun cover with like 12 other people for 55 minutes where the bus just decides to not show up and skip 4 entire scheduled stops. If this were Japan they would reevaluate the entire route and drivers, it is ridiculous how public transit can get away with such bull**** when desperate people rely on it to be on time. **** you bus system, you are the bane of my daily life. Every single day the bus inconveniences me, literal YEARS off my life waiting and riding something I hate with an absolute passion.

Poor public transit is a symptom of a deeper problem.

The military industrial complex has 0 accountability. They are the monopoly on violence wholly ungoverned.

America is not a democracy in the SAME WAY that Russia is not communist.

I find East Coast public transit to be far superior to public transit anywhere else in the US in terms of availability and reliability.

Just out of no where, 14 sneezes in a row.

Never had more than 3.   

Is this a thing ? Am Tp4 dying ? New r0nna ? What is happening ?

[fohat.digs]

Never had more than 3.   

All my life I have sneezed 3 times, and when my daughter was born she sneezed 3 times, about a minute after she was born.

Recently (last couple of years) I have often (once every 1-3 days) been sneezing 7-8 times. Although it is borderline painful, it is also satisfying.

[tp4tissue]

The air purifiers are making Tp4 weak,  he can no longer breath Normal Air.

[phinix]

when you guys say you sneeze 3-4 or 7-8 times - in what are time intervals?

[tp4tissue]

Consecutive

[phinix]

Consecutive

Reason I'm asking is I recently sneeze 10+ times, but with 10 seconds breaks, not like one straight after another

[tp4tissue]

Maybe these are mini-brain-strokes. Prolly need an MRI, but don't want the rad1ation.

[fohat.digs]

in what are time intervals?
 

2-3 seconds, with a 6-8 second break before the last one.

[phinix]

Yeah, so normal sneezes series. Mine is weird, longer breaks, 10 secs between, but won't stop till I blow my nose.

Seriously, what are we talking about?! 

[Findecanor]

A new attempt at surgery tomorrow ...

Edit: Did not chicken out. It got converted from peephole to open surgery because I had had too much bowel surgery before and the tissues had intergrown (?). A lot of pain, but I'd rather have some pain than being totally drugged up. I'm supposed to go home later today.
