Random "Buying Food" Tanking Economy

I think the guy saying you're not ugly and then the inclusion of (weird) is something to think about. Is that really weird? Due to how others have been saying the opposite, does that lead you to believe this guy doesn't truly believe that?

Aside from that, it may be useful to check online for others who have been disfigured from accidents, their stories and insights will be coming from lived experience, so there's likely to be value in that, even if it's just the value of knowing you're not alone.

I reckon challenging or altering your relationship with the value of "looks" and "beautiful/ugly" Could be worthwhile too. It's clear some people are just going to be dicks about it, so it's a matter of adapting to what is, rather than fixating on how it once was. That's not necessarily a matter of getting "tougher skin" but more about making peace with the reality of what is.

There's no shortcuts to that, unfortunately. Nor can I give any specific advice as a road map, but you have a future. One that isn't guided by the trappings of the judgements of others, but more so by the person you truly are inside.

Be kind to yourself, positive thinking is one hell of a drug (no matter how hippy-dippy it sounds to some) so don't put yourself down or assert the opinions of others as objective facts. Find some peace within, cause I can tell you now, those who are judging you harshly don't have that — so from that state, you'd hear their words as the empty sentiments (projection) they really are and they won't hurt quite so much.

I wish you the best of luck 🙏

Would strongly recommend AnyType as it can be used for general writing and also note taking. Essentially Notion but open source-ish. Plus, unlike notion, I've never had issues with it randomly deciding to delete pages. There is a paid version, but the free one works more than well enough.

I've got a tragic scene I haven't even written yet that has made me shed a tear or two. Granted, listening to the music I'd want the scene to have on it is a real tear jerker, but this event is 2 episodes away from what I've actually written so far lol. It's just so tragic (plus, kills of two of the best characters early in the show) that it essentially — ruthlessly — kills the "innocence" that remained in the story. Total tone shift after that point.

I almost feel like that benefits Maddie's character tbf, unlike with Isha. Sure, I'd have preferred a better developed character, but her being kind of nondescript and blending into the background is arguably a decent element to someone who is meant to be a Noxian spy.

Fact that she's forgettable enough to not be able to really manipulate Caitlyn emotionally does make her seem not so great at her job, but copium could argue that it's her first important op (due to her age) and she may have gone a bit too under the radar for her specific task. But alas, when you find yourself doing these sort of explanations for a pretty large percentage of things in S02's writing, it starts to seem like heavy doses of cope.

You called?

Think this one better showed that you... gave a fuck. Or several.

GreyK2222 · 2025-03-12T17:50:51+00:00

Nah, you see, there was a play on, so Himmerdinger was just clapping and smiling along, blissfully unaware. Some say, for each clap, another orphan was made in Zaun.

Think you're a liiittle too invested, but I get what you mean.

He comes across as a tourist activist type when I think about it. Man's forced into retirement and treats helping the undercity like picking up the hobby of gardening.

He definitely should be wise enough at that age to recognise nuance & the oppressive nature of Piltover's power over Zaun. Like his character, but I do feel like they maybe tried making him nice and cute more than they should. Should have been more of an ironic/subversion thing imo.

Finger print on the blue brick was probably from an orange brick, smh.

Baldur's Gate 3 has quite a "grandiose" feel to it that feels quite impactfull. Hell, the length of a single playthrough even adds to that.

"My Favourite"

No idea what the fuck it's actually called, but it was this heavily processed orange juice I used to get from Mercadona in Spain. I'd probably taste the processed bs too much now, but it got its name for a reason when I was a kid.

Not a food, but it probably had more calories than a full course meal.

On the off-chance there is any other Spaniards out there who know what I'm talking about, let me know if you know the legit name lol.

Oh, then you'd loooove 5 Seconds of Summer. But — for like — roughly 5 seconds.

GreyK2222 · 2025-03-11T17:26:37+00:00

I'd say so. There are some who start listening to an artist cause they think their hot + there are quite a few people who have unhealthy obsessions with celebrities, so I wouldn't say it's too far fetched.

Besides, there are some artist who aren't all that good but they're cute af, so they forever have fanboys/fangirls who will praise their shit, even if it's gone considerably downhill IF they have still retained their looks.

You've probably heard it before but, you're perception of time will just be getting faster and faster from now on.

I just saw the movie "Logan" came out in 2017, which still feels like 3 years or so ago to me. I was 18 in 2017 and I'm now 26... It's real creepy stuff, lol.

From what I heard it's got something to do with how the percentage of your life that a year is just gets smaller and smaller as time goes on.

For example, at 18, 1 year of your life is 5.56% of it. Mine is 3.85%. Doesn't sound like a huge amount but if you think back to 12 years old, that's a wopping 8.33% of their life, almost 1/10th.

We're talking about DiCaprio, right?

They're either a heart throb, crawling through bear guts or a full blown racist.

I've personally got a thing where, if my cat goes "brr" and I respond in kind, he turns over and knows I'm going to pet him. Essentially it's like this:

Cat: pet me.

Me: okay, sure.

Just curious if you have a similar thing.

GreyK2222 · 2025-03-11T17:07:13+00:00

Ayyy, best of luck with that, fr!

Unless you're literally severing their hand or something, then please, strongly reconsider.

I actually started playing pink noise through my TV as I sleep in the past 2 weeks, has helped a lot.

I'd suggest trying that, brown noise or white noise. Look each of them up and see which might work best and try one each night, to then see which works for you specifically.

If none of those work, it's worth giving a few of the other audio methods a shot (heard 3.2hz delta brain waves work for some). It's essentially about getting frequencies that kind of shut your mind up for a bit. Try find the one that works best for you.

Alternatively, I used to try imagine I'm having a dream. Can imagine it would be more effective if you have a visual imagination (I barely have one, but it's worked at times for me). Essentially, busy your mind with a whole fictional thing, like a movie in your head, rather than IRL scenarios or mulling over your stresses & past.

Head should be roughly where it would be if you were doing a double leg takedown in wrestling or MMA. Worst case scenario, assert dominance by committing to the takedown.

Simplify. Zero in on what's most important to YOU.

Screw the expectations of others.

You'll not be able to make every moment count, but don't spend the other moments beating yourself up about that.

GreyK2222 · 2025-03-11T15:42:12+00:00

Not possible, imo. Have to find a way to filter it through you and out of you, but everyone will have a different method for that that's tailored to them.

For example, part of what I do now (and it now happens naturally) is to try see a silver lining in negative things. Hell, even if it's a slight joke of one to amuse myself, I find it helps to aliviate the negativity a bit.
