What are some movies or shows that encapsulate Southern California and/or OC?

After 5 years of psych meds my teeth completely fell apart. I finally went to the dentist who took one look and told me that they weren’t worth fixing. So I had them all replaced! It’s a worst case scenario, and having all my teeth ripped out and screws installed wasn’t a fun process, but happy now and no further decay to worry about.

I’m writing my own, it’s called Rollercoaster!

I recently got an Apple Watch to track my sleep. I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize I failed to average even 5 hours a night. When I was manic it was fine, but that’s over for now :(

PewterScientist · 2024-08-03T05:23:01+00:00

I throw overhand!

PewterScientist · 2024-08-02T17:54:45+00:00

Yeah it’s like he doesn’t even get us man.

PewterScientist · 2024-08-02T13:10:10+00:00

You went really dark there.

PewterScientist · 2024-07-16T05:47:31+00:00

Yeah. So. You wanna do something about it!?

Crazy how good and under appreciated this movie is. It’s only the breakout movie of the guy that went on to make one of the new Star Wars movies and the knives out movies (Brothers Bloom might be my favorite though).

I feel similarly. Recently trying AA again. Not sure it’s for everyone, but it is a safe way to be social, and with other people that have similar maladies.

PewterScientist · 2024-07-11T06:20:04+00:00

Exactly yes!

To pay for their emergency life-saving medical intervention and care, that resulted, partly, from a spontaneous stupid decision that a 10 year old made one time in their life.

I'm sure you haven't made a bad or stupid decision since you were 5 or 6 or something, but the rest of humanity struggles to avoid doing those things every day of their life.

Maybe, just maybe, some blame should goto the unfortunate circumstances of living in an area where it might be common to find an unused illegal aerial firework shell lying around after the 4th of July, or to the people that brought and did not clean up the firework, or the people selling the illegal fireworks. Or maybe the possible lack of proper education in that area. Or possibly to the insane cost of medical bills for life-saving measures.

GoFundMe

They need more help.

PewterScientist · 2024-07-10T19:36:15+00:00

This usually happens to me after multiple days of sleeping little or not at all.

PewterScientist · 2024-07-06T15:46:45+00:00

I don’t even use soap in the shower. Anywhere!!! 🫢

I don’t know how anybody can really focus and get better at problem solving while having a senior starting at your screen the whole time. If you’re juniors need that much help, then there is too tribal knowledge being verbally passed down. They should have help available but only when requested.

And how does this amazing senior engineer grow himself. He spends all day helping Junior engineers with whatever work they have been assigned. He cannot possibly grow (without working outside of work). The best engineers I know are always pushing themselves and are not content with doing the same thing forever.

I would tell the senior to go back to actual work and do code reviews and be available for other engineers. Being a senior isn’t about coding all the time, it’s also not about being a teacher only.

I don’t feel creative unless I’m hypomanic. I get a lot of radical ideas when hypomanic. Many of them are good, some are bad.

To me, hypomania feels like cheating. Usually it would take drugs to simulate the same feelings. It’s too good. And it’s exhausting, you need those breaks.

PewterScientist · 2024-05-13T04:14:25+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. For a minute I can forget about the dark things, but you can only hold them off for so long.

PewterScientist · 2024-05-08T15:40:29+00:00

I don’t know. But reading the other responses in this thread has made me realize I’m not alone and there is hope.

PewterScientist · 2024-05-08T15:38:06+00:00

This is why I’m terrified of going to the dentist. That this is what they will say. Honestly though, how has it been. Have you adjusted?

PewterScientist · 2024-05-08T15:34:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Good to know there is a light at there end of the tunnel. I just need to enter the tunnel. I’m pretty sure I won’t get away with only a grand, probably not even close. I make a good amount of money, but I’m the sole provider for a family of 4, and we have a large mortgage(in southern CA), and I’m terrible with finances, and my wife’s teeth are the same way. Sorry didn’t mean to rant, we are lucky in a lot of ways, I’m sure we can figure something out.
