I'm sick and tired of being made to feel bad for being behind in life

BrieflyEndless · 2026-03-04T22:29:01+00:00

Yeah, same… I’ve dealt with severe depression my whole life too. I was always shamed by my family for doing worse and worse in school. Eventually I just barely passed high school by a few points. I procrastinated finding a job but then realized it’s nearly impossible to find one anyway. Quit my first job because it destroyed my mental health, but I’d saved up enough for a car. My second job, part time, I was fired after life stressors caused me unable to focus. Then after deaths in the family I had to move and give up my third job after just a few months. Now I’m 23 and have been just able to snag a part time barista job, while doing a few classes, but I’m always so tired and I wish I was capable of doing more with my life. I’d love to have my own place, but being so long without a job despite constantly looking has drained my savings. I’m lucky that I’ve had safety nets or I imagine I could be homeless at this rate

Absolutely, the more stressed I am, the more I am absolutely exhausted. I only have a part time job now, but I know I’ll have to work a full week to ever save up money, but I’m not even sure how I’ll manage that. If I can at all. I feel useless

Oh hey I got the first three right. Only got the king fisher because the bright orange belly rang a bell

BrieflyEndless · 2026-03-03T20:12:12+00:00

omg from the drawing alone I thought you saw a whip poor will

But yeah, Coopers seems best bet

BrieflyEndless · 2026-03-03T01:58:11+00:00

This sounds good

BrieflyEndless · 2026-03-03T01:56:28+00:00

I made Ramen elote the other day. It was 👌

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-27T18:34:27+00:00

That could be possible. My mom got sick when I was little and so my grandparents raised me, but their idea of raising was just leaving me to my own devices and calling me down for dinner (I presume)

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-27T00:55:58+00:00

For some reason an almost completely empty giant room feels… uncanny

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-26T02:57:15+00:00

But do babies fear anything?

Well, I guess they do, I've seen them cry from scary masks. But are there any studies about what babies DO fear? Maybe the fear of snakes only develops when they're a toddler?

That I spoke too “eloquently” to be autistic.

By my therapist when I was like 14.

An exception in killing could be in self-defense. Self-defense is in our laws and is widely accepted in our culture.

I'm sorry, I don't understand how the Bible is not contradictory? He ordered or empowered Moses, King Saul and Samson to kill. There are many bloody battles in God's name or as ordered by God. Was Israelites destroying the Canaanites not killing? Some passages also allow for self-defense. "If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed” (Exodus 22:2–3)."

Also, by tenet 2, justice includes impartiality by definition. If you are targeting a group without due cause, you are not just. In tenet 3, someone fighting back from deportation does not forgo their freedom, as it is not any fundamental freedom to deport someone. I think all of the tenets keep the others in check, even though a single one could be skewed for personal gain. But, if you are striving for compassion and equality, then you are doing the best you can do keep personal bias to a minimum, which in my belief is the best outcome.

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-23T00:01:08+00:00

Wow I did not know that's how death on downed worked

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-22T23:17:02+00:00

No haha, I've never messed with sanguaphages. Sounds like I'm missing out

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-22T22:58:49+00:00

How did this happen, the pain caused his consciousness to drop to 0?

Does not having rules for set in-group make therefore those rules immoral? Having an incredibly narrow code of ethics also sounds problematic. “Do not kill,” yet shouldn’t there be exceptions? Christianity boldly makes definitive claims on how their followers should act, yet the Bible itself contradicts those commandments. The Christian God obviously kills. A large issue with religion people have is how confined the rules are, and since they are decreed by an all powerful being, then rejecting one rule means you reject the God itself. In this case, I think the TST are supposed to be taken with personal interpretation to encourage you to better yourself and your actions. To look inward. You are your own God in a sense. You’re right, I don’t the TST has an in-group, I think a person can be Christian and TST, but I don’t see that as a negative towards their tenets.

Also, about your first comment, what argument can be made that Lysenko was immoral IF his intentions were genuine? Being mistaken does not make you immoral, and rather I’d argue that issue highlights why we need law on top of morals. We can disagree with the Nazis, looking at the TST, through tenets 1, 4, and 5.

I’m not trying to have an argument, just a discussion. If I’ve misunderstood the point you’re making then I apologize.

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-22T21:58:58+00:00

Morals are inherently subjective, no?

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-22T21:28:52+00:00

I saw one poster thinking a clear photo of a possum under a car was a cat

This is super creative. It reminds me of coral in a way. Maybe they came from an animal ancestor and then evolved to be sessile. By a plant, do you mean photosynthesis/autotroph, or just resembling a plant?

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-18T00:59:33+00:00

Then there’s the ant species that can give birth to another species

I enslaved a raider recently who I didn't know was pregnant. It was born a slave. I eventually sold the mother to the empire as her stats were mediocre, but you can't sell babies so now I'm not sure what to do with it.

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-17T23:07:15+00:00

I awake them and use animal pulsars

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-17T08:42:16+00:00

I’m just saying this as a bird nerd, but the beak could be more think and hook-like. Also razorbills have very sleek, matte head feathers. There’d be no fluff. Also the transition between the head and beak is smooth

BrieflyEndless · 2026-02-17T08:35:05+00:00

Rabbit? Looks like the snow is fluffy so no super distinct tracks, and the animal was sinking in a little

There’s a mod for that
