So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.
It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.
But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.
I wanted a G8 monitor or the G9
The G9 is still €1799 and the G8 went from €888 to €840.
I’ll wait for an upgrade of either and see these drop to 2/3 of msrp or something.
A construction worker here receives twice my hourly wage.
With stuff like that, depending on the rarity obviously wouldn’t it be better to get a regular version to read?
And then they leak/sell your email so for each cancelation you receive 7 different new spam mails on a daily basis.
At least that’s what it seems like most of the time.
I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.
They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.
Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.
I haven’t seen Louis Rossman’s new video where the thumbnail claims their war on adblockers is backfiring, but i’m quite curious as i also found an adblocker for my smart tv that i’m going to try out when i get home from work.
The what now, chastity belts?
I actually don’t most of the time, but i’m not going to explain our dynamic to some weirdo on the web just to protect myself against something that has less than zero consequences in my life.
If i’m home alone i boil those italian pillow things with cheese and tomato in then, throw in some pesto and eat straight from the pot i used to heat it up.
Only need to clean the pot and a fork.
When the wife cooks…my god, even when she’s home alone. She always manages to use every single plate, bowl, pots and silverware we own and leaves it.
I’ve refused to buy more silverware etc because i know for a fact she is going to use that too and stack it on top of all the other dirty dishes.
Parents: put some money aside. Government: pay taxes over that. Parents: do it with cash. Stores and others: we don’t accept cash anymore.
A digital upbringing it seems. Self taught, doomscrolling with no one around who loves them enough to tell them they are slipping away into darkness.
I’m very bad with names, but our huisarts had a in house guy presumably that praktijkondersteuner and i had a couple talks with him about potential causes of what was causing issues. He noticed me being hyper aware and asked some stuff about my past which led to him sending me to the nearest psychology “clinic” which was covered under insurance but they are operating at “for profit” and will be aiming to get you out of there asap. I was warned about them but they were the only one within reach as we were very limited in travel distance.
I can’t really remember what we talked about during those 3 sessions but it was clear that her supervisor took over control as she was the one who very clearly and straightforward told me our sessions would be cut off.
Tbh it sort of felt like i was causing her issues leading to her supervisor having to take over control. It’s odd how i can’t remember what we talked about but i do remember the feelings that passed during those sessions.
Awesome, this is the first time my neighbours use their variation of G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Last time (and first) i went to therapy i was low on money and because of our insurance i “only”(be warned, veru european amounts ahead) had to pay my “own risk” clause which sat at €385. But i REALLY needed some form of help during that time, i had some job interviews and i was physically unable to drag myself to them.
I got about halfway and just break down completely, so i was desperate and literally stuck in life from my point of view.
So i went to therapy with my last money and ended getting 3 sessions and a “we can’t help you there is nothing wrong here’s the bill tho”.
I still don’t know how i managed to get out of there, but i can still feel it pulling in the background…this constant dragging brake.
I don’t think psychadelics can get me out of this, i tried weed once and man did i have a bad time. I’ve always had this: “i wouldn’t mind not existing/suicide would be great right about now” kind of brain and the weed didn’t help the worse part of that battle.
I just want to point this out: Louis Rossman is trying to fix this in a way, by allowing people to subscribe to a person and not one of their platforms, so if they get banned their new platform of choice will show up to all of their subscribers instead of them having to try and move their audience to a new nearly unused platform.
Online shopping used to mean lower prices and a bit of a wait.
Nowadays it’s: more expensive because of shipping, delivery not doing their job or even stealing your shit, which leads to you having to pick it up at a place further from your house than the store that sells it.
Over here they are supposed to deliver it to you in person but half the time (if not more) they’ll just leave a “you weren’t home note” even though you took the day off and then drop it off at a pickup point.
Downside is that i can’t stop online shopping because the stores never carry what i need.
It should be this: https://youtu.be/ymxG4wOP7fk?si=fDyTv66EiVcToe44
It’s specifically about superstores tho, but i kinda zoned out somewhere along the video.
Tbh the price increases we’ve seen since then were pretty much a lot of the western society that dealt with it, there were resource issues and a lot of volatility in the market due to this covid ordeal.
I’m not dismissing the fact that those increases put a lot of stress on all of our finances.
I haven’t left, convince me to.
