I got that same deal, but somewhere along the way they started charging me a monthly fee.
It was a huge pain to cancel, because it wasn’t showing anywhere that I’d actually subscribed, so I couldn’t just unsubscribe from the app or website.
I’ve used one of these before. The main problem is that you’re often put on a hold for at least 72 hours.
And while this does help get you out of that immediate crisis, missing 3 days of work and pay can actually put you in a worse position when you get out.
And mental institution stays aren’t always super helpful for long-term mental health. Many of them are as bad, if not worse than being in jail.
To me, it’s very zen. it’s more about putting the situation in the perspective that you need to handle the situation for what it is and not focus on being upset at the situation or being upset at not having a solution. Not every scenario has an end that works out for you, If you even have any control over it.
I usually hear it said when someone is having difficulty with a problem they have no real control over. Sometimes you just have to let things go and deal with your own emotions on the situation (which nobody else can do for you), or remove yourself from the situation entirely.
Find a trade. If you’re good at what you do, it really doesn’t matter how wierd or fucked up you are. You can even get in full-on arguments with your boss that get forgotten about once everyone calms down.
As long-term career advice, I think this is helpful In finding something that doesn’t drag you down. If you can’t be yourself at work it’s going to be far more taxing.
But I absolutely understand this is a luxury to be able to be in that position of being choosy about your employer.
You’ll be far happier in an environment that enjoys you for being you, but you’ll find a job quicker by saying what they want to hear
Somwhat related quote from my father in law about being a good worker:
“First year, they like you. Second year, they love you. Third year, they just start using you”
Idk. Im 40 and hurt myself on a bouncy slide not long ago.
My body defintely isnt in agreement with how young i feel.
We’ve tried both clover and thyme, but we can’t get them to really take off. But I think we just weren’t doing enough at a time and wildlife was eating it all. Our current course of action has been killing sections of grass with a tarp, then planting the clover and our first patch is doing well.
By all accounts, he was an awesome person. Full on embodiment of rock n roll. Life-long meth addict, alcoholic, and womanizer, but you never hear anything bad about him. He managed to be all those things and still be good person.
I’m a huge motorhead fan. The name is a not insignificant part of why I chose this as a reddit alternative over the others
Fair point. I am not.
It’s definitely been a weird change. Reddit was comfortable, but it was because I’d figured out how to make my home there a decade ago. Lemmy isn’t comfortable. I’m sure it will be fine, but it’s just not what I’m used to.
It’s a lot like when my favorite Mexican restaurant changed owners and everything was different. It’s still a fine place (and the food might actually be better), but it isn’t my comfort place anymore.
Same here. I mostly hung out in smaller, hobby subreddits. And the few I’ve found here are mostly dead. I really want to nerd-out with other people about shit nobody else cares about
Pretty much everybody I ever saw complain about mods was people who cant read the room, and think their opinion is so important or so novel that they should be allowed to voice it in places they clearly weren’t wanted.
I was on reddit for 12 years. Voiced some unpopular opinions. Only had one comment removed that I can remember. I somehow managed to move on with my life
This had been done before. Techmoan on YouTube did a video on a symphonic piece that was put on vinyl backwards. It’s something about how the needle travels slower at the center increases the possible dynamics vinyl can reproduce
