hemale in pain posted:The real sad thing is I spent about 10 years of my life living with no schedule and just sitting on my butt playing video games. This is remding me that I willingly lived like that and it's depressing as hell. Eh, I've made my peace with it a long time ago. The point is, I suppose, that this is going to take years to resolve and once we're on the other side massive segments of society have experienced interruptions that will cause a major shift in the way we do things both by necessity and just because we don't feel like bringing certain aspects back. But the human brain craves normalcy and predictability and it's going to both be operating on the assumptions the world has now, like the ones about the necessity for everyone to work, as well as whatever weird bullshit you start to consider normal during the social isolation. And holy gently caress do humans ever get weird about the bullshit we believe. As all of this poo poo around us every loving day proves. The world's ruled by lunatics and truth is but a mirage. The sooner you accept something like this is going to gently caress you up, the sooner you can figure out which bits about it are the important ones to mitigate and develop working coping strategies for. Once we emerge from this, a lot of us are going to have some real rusty skills for at least some aspects of our lives and there's not going to be any getting back to the way things used to be. The one person you can't trust is yourself because you, as a human, have weird, stupid ideas and need to keep an eye on that to keep that from spiraling out of control. If you just assume the way things worked back when you could understand it is a valid way to approach the world after this mess, you'll end up a Guardian columnist. Guavanaut posted:Everyone thinks they destroyed their late teens/early 20s, whether it's by working too hard, partying too hard, staying in too hard. I didn't! However I started losing track of my life apart from the illness somewhere in the middle of the Bush Jr era and got myself able to start properly recovering with 2015 and I still have this urge to raise my hand and go "excuse me, what the gently caress did you all do with the world?". I was real bitter about having lost my youth and health until I started talking to normal people enough to form a coherent picture of what their youths were like and at that point I realized I may not have had the chance to gently caress up my youth... but I most assuredly would have, and in a boring, miserable way.

peanut- posted:I left one job in April last year and didn't start my next one until September and kept wondering when the boredom and dissatisfaction with sitting on the sofa all day playing video games I'd been led to expect would kick in. Never did, the whole experience absolutely owned. I haven't had a proper job with regular hours in almost 3 years and I only get bored of it in the week between finishing one game and deciding what to play next. The gym being closed has made it a little bit tougher but not by much.

if any of you are unemployed and have at least a 2-2 i recommend just applying for a PPI related role. Pays well, work is somewhat poo poo and its contracting but you pass a phone interview and then deal with recruiter bullshit until you start

Barry Foster posted:I think there're different ideas about how to manage time (as previously noted I have serious problems with my relationship to time and how anxious it makes me) but I think we can all agree that Factory Time sucks poo poo and is a horrible capitalist intrusion into workers' lives and no-one should be trying to force themselves to live a WFH 9 to 5, surely It doesn't have to be 9-5 or inflexible, but if you're working from home I think it's important to set yourself a work schedule because otherwise you risk spending all your time semi-at-work and not really getting any time for yourself.

It's weird, I am feeling a little better following the first few weeks of quarantine. I have my daily routine, I have my books to read, I have my food prepared and I get to speak to folks here and on phones. I am volunteering/ getting my volunteering thing put in place so I am probably going to get busier quite soon, and I would never wish any of the suffering we are all going through right now on anyone, but it could always be worse.

It's nice to read others felt they wasted their 20s. Between bouts of unemployment, poo poo relationships and a fuckload of drugs I think I'm just lucky to be alive. Now I'm in my 30s I'm trying not to repeat those mistakes, if you find the same thing keeps happening to you you haven't learned the lesson yet. One issue I do have is I absolutely caned films and music when I was younger and now everything seems kind of boring and done before. I've ended up at the fringe of media, watching vlogs on YouTube with less than 10 views, comedy films from Africa shot on phones, field recordings of empty buildings. Even this is getting tedious though. Is all that there is left is...anime?

My policy for finding more movies to watch is grabbing anything I see referenced off-hand as being good or weird that I haven't heard of. You get some hits and some misses but it's way better than working through the imdb top 250 or any bullshit like that.

I think Jan 26th rando posters start realising that ICUs are gonna be hammered and thats the main threat. I appreciate those guys going "buy masks now!" while everyone is calling them fatalists

Actually now I think about it they do tell you not to give blood for 7 days after symptoms have passed for any infection, so maybe it's not so unlikely that you can still be infectious even though you feel fine. What I'm saying is that Matt Hancock should be sealed in concrete and fired into the sun just to be sure.

Do they know why/how this happens? nah the antibodies are your secondary immune response that takes a while to get up and running. the antibody test merely tests whether your body has started or has been producing immune cells tailored to covid, not that the virus is gone or that the virus is still there
