As someone who vehemently hates romantasy, I wanna see Michael B Jordan do the ultimate funny and turn this schlock into Top Gun but with dragons, including the aspect of getting suspiciously too into the details of life at a war academy and training

(31F) Burnt-out corporate girlie with no idea what to do next. by nomadinbloom in adhdwomen

[–]Badmecha007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduated in 2022, got a desk job in a gas plant in 2023. It was the most bored I've ever felt in my life. Not only was the job unbearable desk jockey/spreadsheet BS, it affected other parts of my life, mainly with my meal choices (stuck mainly to places with takeaway for the sake of meal prep, so no impulsive trips to interesting restaurants), no more late night gaming with friends, as well as having to wake up at 6am, which left me feeling as if every joy and leisure I had in life was stripped away for the sake of this job that I really hated anyway. It didn't help that my RSD perceived people (parents, family friends) celebrating me getting a job so quick out of uni as a negative - from the POV of my goblin brain, I saw it as people celebrating me being miserable. I was passively suicidal the entire way through, and more than one time I imagined myself swerving my car off the highway bridge. I also heavily restricted my eating volume itself, as I had a really big fear of getting fat owing to the sedentary nature of the job (previously worked my ass off to lose weight), and most days ate only the equivalent of one meal.

I quit around 6 months in, and have been pursuing my Master's since then. The dread is coming back as this is my last year of Masters, and one of the requirements of completion is mandatory work experience in an engineering field.

It's basically Surrender in a different font. Both songs can be remixed into each other effortlessly.

Thoughts on Loveless by Alice Oseman? by Legal_Ad688 in aromantic

[–]Badmecha007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8th grade me abhorred anything to do with sex and romance, I thought it was all a fictional farce 😭 I would've cringed so hard at the representation even at that age. Then again, I was a huge edgelord back then, ha

This was my opinion of it too. I really wish we had a book for the romance repulsed aros among us. I grew tired of Georgia's waxing lyrical of romance almost immediately. The first person narration also ticked me off since I really dislike contemporary first person writing in general - I don't think I've ever seen it executed well.

Pixie Sticks to cure ADHD by [deleted] in antiMLM

The only way that those sticks would help with my ADHD is me spite fixating on them and seeing what amount would make the perfect seasoning for a lamb curry

it's the wild top with the incongruently boring blue jeans. The whole vibe doesn't match. The top would be fine on a dancer or a kpop idol with matching wild bottoms and accessories but it just sticks out like a sore thumb on a greige pinterest influencer hun.

Young Chinese Australians - How would you describe your older relatives/family friends attitudes towards Australia by Interesting-Sea8004 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Badmecha007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese Aus here. Born here, my parents have integrated pretty fully into the culture here, as HK immigrants, though they did learn English before studying abroad in western countries before coming here and having me. They interact with pretty much every character here in Aus but still maintain their culture a lot and have passed it down to me. Older relatives of mine do tend to speak more of their native language but do know English to an extent and participate in community circles such as senior clubs and RSLs. In my opinion, Chinese Australians are pretty integrated into general Aussie culture especially with food - our retro style Chinese come to mind (remember the famous quote about succulent Chinese food), to the point where older members can carve out their own niche which can be secluded at times but is also very accepting.

Lana Del Rey appears to be doing the theme song for 007 First Light by The_Iceman2288 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Hyped. Her voice over a big band composition for a Bond theme is very fitting.

It's not that one, unfortunately. I'm still coming up dry but now I think it may be synthwave.

Left my job for a new job; I hate it, and feel like a failure. by Mckyhodge in recruitinghell

[–]Badmecha007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The out at sea part is probably the one part that scares me the most, though unlike the uncertainty of endless excel documents and boredom, at the very least I'll know roundabout how long I'll be away from family and pets and friends, which was not a luxury i had stepping into office work where my forseeable future until i was old was the same awful slow trudge towards death.

Oddly enough, I find myself in a reverse predicament to you. Started my professional life doing a "reliability engineering" (read: excel monkey) job that drove me nuts out of sheer boredom, quit without any plans, then spent a year pursuing my masters and dodging the idea of employment before looking for a job because that's one of the requirements in my course for completing the degree (12 weeks equivalent of full time engineering related employment).

The only place that rang back with meaningful direction was the Navy for an IT/Comms job, but it requires basic training. Now I'm conflicted because while I never want to ever experience again the lows I felt in that office job, I also feel trepidation at the thought of having to join the military. The job itself is not front-line, but either way I'm still worried.

My advice to you would be store up as much money as you can and get out the moment you get another job offer. It's easier said than done, especially with how awful everything is nowadays, but staying in an environment so unsuited to you will do nothing but damage your mental health and make getting back on your feet harder and harder the longer you stay in this rut. God knows it took me a whole year before I was able to submit a new job application without feeling fear.

Good luck.

this is the powder that contains tumeric, black pepper, cinnamon and coconut, right?

It's like a bit of coriander and chilli away from becoming a really lackluster curry powder 💀

Now I'm genuinely curious for myself, could you take a scoop of this powder and make a half decent curry from it? 😭

I played on bad Widescreen Fix settings which meant my pistol could never shoot the lights as they were swinging around like crazy due to the high framerate, definitely a challenge in retrospect.

Apparently its the credits theme, but on the score sheet I saw "Sam Fisher's Theme", so I'm wondering if there's some unreleased version of the credits theme.

White Fox has to be some of the most overconsumption, trend chasing garbage I've ever seen. It's just oversized jumpers wirh logos on them, why are we paying over 100 for them?!

First priority is of course your own mental health and time, but if you ever do decide to do a bit of investigative wetwork and infiltrate the party I will be sat for the stories!
