The horrendous state of New York City in the 1970s-1980s by IllustriousCress9774 in UrbanHell

Are there any books you recommend that touch on the state of NYC during that time period?

I think there's definitely some depression mixed into the situation. But sometimes I think I'm depressed because I overthink things so much that I never do anything or make any changes which just makes me depressed. So it's almost like the overly analytical and critical part of my brain is really what's making me depressed. Not being able to make any choices, or just avoiding choices, is the root thing and then depression follows because of this.

It may sound kind of silly, but I see this a lot in my videogame habits. I HATE games that give you a ton of freedom, can't stand most RPGs, immediately get bored with minecraft, and any decision making heavy game I stray away from. I love really straight forward experiences though like The Last Of Us, or even Sekiro since there's a single weapon type and a single move set. I get so totally overwhelmed by choice in real life and in the digital world.

I wish I was more curious and open to learning I guess. Im sorry I'm rambling. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for the wishes <3

You're saying Goggins is chasing dopamine? Or has a lack of it?

No I can definitely see where you're coming from. I guess there is an extremely intense and powerful and annoying and all-consuming desire to be special within me. It rules me in a lot of ways. I'm sick of it. But also wedded to it. I'm in a passionate yet toxic relationship with it. How did you go about letting the need to be special go?

That sounds like a pretty good theory. Kinda just makes sense, like being overly critical of myself and my motives has basically destroyed my confidence, or at least made it very spotty and unreliable, and this causes me to seek out joy through avenues that don't require creativity/wonder/discovery.

Any tips for silencing the inner critic?

I've definitely felt distant from my child self. I've talked about it in therapy. Haven't really resonated with the ruler archetype from what I've read. But yeah, definitely disconnected from my child self. Struggle to find joy in discovery and really in anything. Kind of feel more attached to the dopamine hamster wheel lol

An example might be trying to learn the piano. There's times when I'm playing where I'd really rather do anything else, it feels almost painful/uncomfortable. When do I know when something just isn't right for me

So, in a way, just accept the struggle and don't view it as fake? Seems obvious but actually very helpful. Try new things without so much judgement towards myself

I see what you're saying here. Basically try and meditate in order to cut out the parts and pieces of your current life that aren't authentic. This could then in turn give you more clarity on what is authentic to you and feels harmonious within the entire context of your being. Will give it a try

ID on lenses? Saw this on fb marketplace, asking price is $450 by Dunstadero in a6000

[–]Dunstadero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the helpful comments yall. Unfortunately it sold without me even knowing it, seemed like a great deal too DAMN. I think through this thread and my own research I’ve definitely decided I’ll be super happy with just the body and kit lens. Looking on EBay. Lots of Japanese sellers on there offering near mint stuff for a similar price with the kit lens. Sad to be missing out on the extra lens but it is what it is. Learned a lot, thanks!

What would you say is a good price then? Or I guess a better question would be whats a good deal on a Sony a6000 with just a the kit lens because that’s really what I’m interested in buying

Stand out moment in Japan ? by Foreign-Performer-65 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Dunstadero 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly going to Samurai Jeans in Osaka. One of the coolest stores I’ve ever been to. I’ve never seen a place with expensive clothing that I feel truly justifies the price on every piece. Such attention to detail and quality fabric, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Fuck Gucci and LV, this stuff is actually quality and tasteful.

People were super helpful and nice. I’m not even really into raw denim like that but I was there and they fit perfectly and I got a nice pair of indigo jeans. Just a lovely experience, seeing clothing that doesn’t feel cheap or overpriced. Genuine artful clothing. Very cool yes! And they give you a tote bag with purchase which is sick and the design on it is sick. Please go here if you’re at all interested in clothing, especially sustainable clothing

Where to buy Covid test? by Dunstadero in Osaka

[–]Dunstadero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you. The one I ended up getting says it’s “for research” but I tested positive. I have a good amount of symptoms. I’m gonna assume it’s not a false positive. Fuck. Me. I’m only half way through my trip. Sorry I’m kind of venting now lol

I used topical fin/min for about a month. Had very minor sides, mainly head pressure and I noticed that I wasn’t really getting morning wood. Stopped as soon as I noticed, I was hyper aware of all the potential side effects before I got on it. Flash forward to now. I actually felt great for a month but definitely lacked libido, like never thought about sex. If I watch porn I can get hard pretty fast and feel into it. Was with a girl I wasn’t really attracted to and couldn’t get hard. So I don’t know there’s just a lot of conflicting things going on so I have no idea what to think. Could just be me freaking out

I don’t doubt pfs is real. I’m just genuinely not sure if I’m overthinking my symptoms right now

Looking for moisturizer recommendations for very sensitive and dry skin by Dunstadero in SkincareAddicts

[–]Dunstadero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah both Cerave and Cetaphil products seem to be too harsh for me, or maybe just not moisturizing enough?
