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

[E3E]

Clique mentalities in the keyboard community.

Welcome to online communities in general.

Or any community, haha. Yeah I know, it's unavoidable and it's human nature to make friends and stick with those friends, it's just frustrating when the camaraderie that brings certain people together excludes others. Kind of an ironic tweest, if I do say so myself. 

[absyrd]

At least we are through that teenage angst phase.

You mean that goes away?  I can't wait.

Indeed, took me until I was in my mid-twenties though. I still can go full emo if the stars align.

It never goes away fully. You just learn to swipe it away easier. Or you end up at a bar for 6 hours a day for the rest of your life. I hope it is the former, BN.

Okay. So, my car gets into an accident on Thursday. They say "it's totaled". Much sadness ensues. We are all: "Are you sure it is totaled? It is not an inexpensive car." and they are like "Yes, totaled, 100% for sure". So, we take a 3 hour drive to sign the paperwork to basically have the insurance company buy the car so they can pay off the loan and cut us a check. They say we will get the appraisal of the car sometime early next week. That brings me to today. My husband just called to find out the status on the claim, we went looking for a car, and want to know when we can buy it. The insurance guy on the phone says "oh, we were waiting on you to proceed with the repair, turns out it's not totaled. It is worth more than we thought."

WTF! What the ****ity ****!??! Do they have any idea how emotionally taxing this is!?! I'm over that car and all it's post crash issues. I don't WANT it. My husband, by some kind of weird, manly emotional breakdown, now doesn't want it. I'm ready to lose my mind. They better total it or I'm just...I don't even know. I'm like beside myself right now.

I wouldn't want a ****ing car they told me was totaled and now can all-of-a-sudden fix, either. That is bull****. So they want you to feel safe and secure and homey in something that wasn't worth salvaging a week ago? I'd imagine the repairs on a nice car like that that is "near totaled" or whatever they are calling it now is gonna be a big bill. But for you to have it fixed up all the way, if you try to go and sell it, it is now a car with a serious accident history which will MURDER trade/resale value. At least these robots can understand that, right? I know they can't get the human element.

Is the frame ****ed up? Wyfe's 2nd car had basically no aesthetic damage, but the frame was all whacked so they totaled it. What repairs are needed exactly? Make sure you demand a comprehensive list of what your insurance co is saying can be fixed and what an actual repair shop can/will do?

What you laid out is exactly my problem. I don't want this thing. We put so much effort into making sure it would be payed off in time so there would still be value in the car, and now it will be worth basically nothing. No one wants a car with a major accident on record. I sure as hell don't!

We asked the Claim Manager what the appraisal on the car was and she said they don't know because they aren't totaling it. I call bull****. How can they know it isn't totaled if they don't know the value? Makes no sense! I am going to fight it out with the repair shop. If I can get them to raise the amount of money to "fix" it the insurace company might change their tune. As it stands the entire exterior on the drivers side needs to be replaced; front and rear quarter panels, both doors and windows. Inside the drivers seat, steering wheel and head liner all need to be replaced. Not to mention that all the airbags. And if they think they are only painting one side of the car, they are legit out of their minds.

It was similar here in British Columbia a couple of months ago. You couldn't even see down the street because the smoke was so thick. It stuck around for a couple weeks too, and it makes doing anything outside brutal. Also that campfire smell permeates everything.  )

My car still has a little hint of smoke smell...

Hopefully things clear up where you are Belfong!

[Belfong]

Wow, I didn't realise it's happening everywhere - 5 years ago in Russia and in Canada too? What are we doing to the environment?? On one hand, we are screaming murder because of Volkswagen but on the other hand, this is even more devastating!

5 years ago in Russia it was brutal. Also the heat was exceptional. My housewarming party was on the hottest day in the history of Saint Petersburg, when it was +38C. And that on the ****ing 60th parallel north.

There were rumours that lots of Russians were drowning around that time because they drank too much vodka and lurked around swimming pools trying to keep cool.

I'm depressed ... probably clinically. I had a birthday a month ago, which sucked. I am disappointed and frustrated at my job. The new Star Wars trailer is disappointing. I am overweight and unfit. I read a very depressing series of fantasy books. I signed up for volunteer work and got too much work heaped on me. All of which contributed to my sucky mood.

You gotta exercise,   its a vital part of "being human"  that we've sorta just forgot..


You've identified the numerous aspects of your life that's causing you distress,    it's often not prudent to tackle them all simultaneously..


So, if you had to do one thing at a time,,  strengthening your body first makes sense, because that is THE vehicle which will carry you through all other endeavors..

Sometimes it's hard to find anything positive to think about. I find laughing helps, even if you are laughing at how awful  things are.

Hope things improve for you.

[trenzafeeds]

probably clinically.

this sucks because things that other people suggest that work for them won't usually help. It gets pretty tiring to hear people telling you to "just go outside" or "try to smile more" completely don't understand clinical depression (at least more serious forms of it). Obviously exercise (as suggested above) will help with weight if that's something you want to tackle, but I really encourage you to look for medical advice if you think you might be clinically depressed.

I had a bought with the depression when I was younger. Looking back on it, the most helpful thing I did for myself was to pick one small activity and do it everyday, no matter what. For me, I would go out to get coffee. Just go to a coffee shop to get a cup and then come home to drink it. Sometimes I wouldn't even go in, I'd use the drivethru. I also would rotate through a few different places since I didn't like the idea of being a regular, and therefore being known. I think it was the routine that made it work for me. Routine was purpose, and purpose was good. And that it was something that was really just for me.

Don't be afraid to go to a doctor for help too. Nothing wrong with getting your noggin right. You'll be happier in the long run.

Try looking for a doctor that has equipment to do a Brain Scanner.. (Yes they have them now)


The issue is,  if they just ask you a bunch of questions,  they really can't tell 'For sure"  if your problems are a" physical manifestation" (suppressed brain area, tumor, clotting, etc) , or a product of "life style choice" (exercise, occupational hazard, bad peer influence."



Many practitioners are pressured by both pharmacom and Clients themselves, to prescribe drug treatment.


Now,  if your issue isn't a drug treatable problem,  the drugs would only introduce a greater, possibly irreversible chemical imbalance..




So, if you do decide to go to a doctor, go to a REAL doctor with equipment and NOT the typical psyche-Quackers

Knowing the proposed Alps Graphite cap set will go best with my next project, though wanting to use thick PBT and having bought an OG US-made AT101 for it (good price though). I just need caps from an IBM PC 5140 for an HHKB layout, which shouldn't be hard to get when someone lists one on eBay for the typical going rate. Then I just -want- a windowed Caps Lock key from a Wang to complete my PBT set. I know a guy who might be willing to part with just that key, but if not, that could be the most annoying aspect of sourcing these caps. Definitely think I'll have the Graphite for aesthetics and PBT mishmash for feels and old school appeal. I planned on dyeing the caps, but an original AT101 isn't something you see every day, and the rest are pretty uncommon too.

I have to admit it's a little annoying when a bunch of people receive the same order at the same time then spam the "what'd you get in the mail today" thread with them. I love to see a couple pictures of new stuff, but I don't really care that a billion people received exactly the same artisan keycap, or at the very least I don't need to see nearly identical pictures of every individual one all over Geekhack. One might say my jimmies are rustled.
