  • Is therapy worthwhile?

    Jump

  • Yes yes yes yes yes.

    I’m a 32 yr old male with ADHD, chronic pain, past trauma, sleep issues, low testosterone, and haven’t had much stability in my life for the last 5 years. I don’t think I could have gotten through it without therapy. A good therapist will help you work through your thoughts and emotions and feelings and give you the tools to be able to function and get through those times when you are overwhelmed.

    Please feel from to reach out if you want to talk more. I’ve been where you are with deciding what to do and would love to help.

    In the mean time I have a couple books I would recommend that really changed my perspective.

    Man’s Search for Meaninghttps://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl-ebook/dp/B009U9S6FIExtremely powerful, written about the human experience from a survivor of Auschwitz.

    The Untethered Soulhttps://www.amazon.com/Untethered-Soul-Journey-Beyond-Yourself/dp/1572245379Probably opened my eyes more than any other book and helped me immensely with the day to day stuff.

    Iron Johnhttps://www.amazon.com/Iron-John-Book-about-Men/dp/0306824264(Not sure of your gender) This book is about what it is to grow into a man. Not a manly man or traditional man or anything like that, but a real man who embraces his masculinity and femininity. Talks about how we need something more than our parents to grow. I think it’s still a amazing read no matter what gender you are because it does help make sense of why so many men are the way that they are.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • To me how you are talking about this is kind of exactly my point. The “normie” you are describing just sounds like an asshole and I think that’s the negative connotation and exclusion I’m talking about.

    What would you categorize me as? I surf, skate, lift weights, travel, was in a fraternity at a major university, have a beautiful wife and live in suburbia in California close to the beach, started my career in finance and sales (not anymore though). On the flip side, I have ADHD, I have a masters in pharmaceutical sciences, I work with a team of software engineers, I game, tinker with my PC, I read scientific journals on particle physics and a ton of sci-fi and fantasy, I read tech blogs every day, I love the fediverse, etc.

    See what I’m getting at? Like it is totally creating an unnecessary and unhelpful division in my eyes.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • Definitely elements of this resonate for me, but that’s why I think it’s just silly. They are a needless way of creating division where there doesn’t need to be.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • This makes a lot of sense! And I would argue if you just met me you would 1000% put me in the normie category. Buuut if you got to know me you would come to find out I’m a goofy uber nerd who works with a bunch of software engineers and loves technology and gaming and reading scientific journals on particle physics.

    I quite frankly don’t want to be in either group because the entire concept of normie vs not normie is kind of silly in my opinion.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • Yuuup.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • I mean not get too far down that rabbit hole, but I would argue that we are all human beings first and we all belong to many different groups, not just one.

    And I think you’re missing my point.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • Hmm. I think you’re right to an extent. I think the gatekeeping you’re talking about should come from the server level and block anything from meta or from other servers with those kinds of people.

    Using the word “normie” can be off putting to people we do want on this platform which is kind of my point.

  • Love everything about this haha

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • Ain’t that the truth.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • I have definitely seen it used outside of that. Again, I think the effects are largely unintentional but from an outsider looking in could be very off putting.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.

    Jump

  • I guess that’s something I didn’t consider. I kind of feel like that is still creating an us vs them mentality though…

  • Sweet! Appreciate that.

  • What are some fun songs to sing karaoke to?

    Jump

  • I’ve been so tempted to do this, but there are some long stretches without lyrics and it’s a fairly long song too.

  • Totally agree! When my brother and I got older and super into Halo, he learned how to play just because he knew we liked it. It was awesome.

  • I think Fidelity is cutting those valuations independent of the protests though. I have a feeling they will all (or a lot of them) make a pretty penny. I know my buddy that works there will!

  • Literally cannot believe this is how they handled things… very sad day! Worst part is, I’m sure they will be just fine and get the IPO they desperately want.

    My wife and I just lost one of our precious boys and I wanted to share his cute little face with all of you in the hopes he can bring a smile to you like he did for us his whole life. Love you forever
