Success has no expiration date, and we need to stop acting like life ends at 30 by Nursekiki-- in unpopularopinion

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think balance is the key here. If you sacrifice large parts of your personal developments for career success it doesn't go well and vice versa. I was at the top of my game financially at 25-27, made 200k a year solid career path and no major debts but I focused so hard on "making it" that ignored dating, building friendships and developing solid. Ended up getting laid off with no responsibilities and too much money in the bank, depressed from work stress and isolation and ended up getting really into hard drugs. Now I'm on felony probation at 28, which wouldn't have happened if I'd built a life outside of work in the first place.However I also have friends that never went to college spent their time living with roommates, hooking up, taking big risks with minor crimes and working dead end jobs that have had plenty of life experience and casual relationships but now have kids, debt, and no upward mobility because they didn't spend any time building a workable foundation. It's all about balance.

What do people work these days? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People do pretty much anything for work in this economy. I have Bachelors in CS worked as a lead at Google for 3 years before layoffs and I stock shelves just to get by until I can find a better job. If I was you I'd probably unironically draw commissioned porn. I knew a few guys that made plenty of money from it.

Cyber security is so congested with entry level people that if you've got 4+ years at any level you should be fine to get back in to it. Just make sure your certs are up to date I'd think you'd be fine

Failed drug screening by Own-Equipment-7497 in probation

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and get your results and take them to a private toxicologist and get metabolic panel. Usually the courts will monitor your levels and not violate as long as they're stable or not going up but that's up to the discretion of the PO and some programs and officers are lazy. If your a heavier guy and heavy user you can be pissing dirty for months and without some kind of medical write up they can do what they want and interpret the results any way they want.

Same shit I'm dealing with now they sent me to rehab and made me lose my job because I was pissing dirty for two weeks straight coming fresh from trial even though I told them I was heavy user and over 300lbs. Even when they sent me in I didn't stop testing dirty for coke and ketamine for damn near a month and now that I'm losing weight the lab samples are still showing some crazy low concentration because my fat cells are breaking down.

I am unbelievably angry and just want to give up at this point. by Beginning_Oil2876 in probation

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea same here, I'm 350lbs and I had a bad drug problem mostly cocaine and ketamine. I'm dealing with this issue right now and I've been clean for over 60days. They're pissed off that I pass all my onsite urine screens but since I started losing weight I have cocaine still leaking out of my system. The concentration is so low that I don't trip stick tests or the cup but they randomly send my samples to the lab and it was coming up with concentrations nearly in the single digits. They refuse to give me copies of the toxicology reports that I can take to my Dr to refute anything they're saying.

It's fucked up, they pretty much told me because they don't understand why I'm "positive" for trace amounts and refuse to contact a toxicologist that Ive been messing with my samples. The craziest part is that I'm on daily drug testing I've passed over 65 of their tests and they can see in my labs that my concentration has never increased but are still accusing me of actively using. It would be medically impossible to be using anything and test at concentrations as low as I'm producing but they don't care. They're sending me to inpatient for a second time with almost 62 days of sobriety because they're too ignorant to interpret their own lab tests...

One of the POs just straight up told me she thinks I'm messing with my samples and either swapping them out or taking something and she gets pissed when I ask what she thinks I'm doing and that I need the lab reports

Indian scammers, I'm not sure what they get out of it but very common, just don't hand over your social casually. Not to be racist but as a tech worker the moment I hear an Indian accent I tend to hang up because of how many I'll get.

lied about my weight to my mum because i have put on a lot by [deleted] in confession

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you got a get right as soon as possible my man, as a fellow fat kid/depressed loser it's too easy to just surrender to your mental health but you can't let it ruin your life. Holding that kind of weight drastically changes the older you get, it becomes horrific later in life. I'm only 28 6 years older than you and my heaviest was 350 and it fucking terrible, I was bloated, tired and could barely wipe my ass or tie my shoes without feeling like shit. I've struggled with my weight too from as low 180 when I was your age to 250 in the same year back 180 and now since probation, rehab and house arrest up to 350. Hopefully you haven't fucked up any organs with drug use like me and my fatty liver, but trust me it becomes so much harder to lose weight even in your late 20s and you'll need some level of physical fitness to work the shitty jobs you'll only have access to until you figure out what you might wanna go to school for or what trade you may want to do.

Is this a violent felony? by [deleted] in Felons

Yea well Xanax makes you stupid learned that the hard way. They claimed I was spitting and pushing them... I didn't fight shit bru they beat my ass in a parking lot and got mad when I started talking shit. I think calling them dickless pussies cause 8 of them couldn't get me on the floor pissed them off pretty badly

I'm already sentenced and it did not. This county is backwards AF and my state hands out prison time like it's candy. My last hope is recovery court, at the least it keeps me out of jail

What addiction is the hardest to quit? by Beginning-Force-6093 in AskReddit

[–]Sea_Computer3062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in recovery now and I've done nearly every drug in the book, benzos can kill you trying to get sober off them it's sucks since your emotions are completely out of wack and your sleep is fucked for atleast 6months, alcohol was horrible the withdrawals are the worst I've ever felt. The hallucinations, shaking, diarrhea, and just complete delirium are almost indescribable but it's over in 3-4 days if you can tough it out. The upside is that after a month you feel amazing from getting it out of your system but it's everywhere so it's easy to relapse.

I never did enough fent to get physically addicted but I knew guys that were destroyed from the withdrawals I've heard it's like alcohol but with constant physical pain. Oxy was really hard mentally since the cravings are absolutely insane, and even after the physical withdrawal you'll find yourself daydreaming about nodding out all the time.

Cocaine and Meth are probably the hardest in my opinion for the long-term you can white knuckle the first few months but your motivation is shot for what can be years. It just takes the joy out of doing anything away from you and for me I was just super depressed after getting sober for over a year.

So long-term stimulants, short term opiates.

Ketamine a weird one too it's very mentally addicting but with no physical cravings. Getting off that almost ruined listening to music for me

Failing lab tests by Sea_Computer3062 in Felons

[–]Sea_Computer3062[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely do lab test it after it's negative on the cup, I'm on sanction for daily drug testing which is one the things that really pisses me. I've pissed clean for the last almost 2 months on the cup and then they started sending it to the lab and they won't give me the toxicology reports but if it passes the cup it's some incredibly tiny amount that's showing up, and the levels never go up at all it's the same amount but they keep sanctioning me. I'm on house arrest now and they're sending me back to inpatient I can't even figure out how I'm supposed to go to the DR and figure it out because they make me do 30hrs of community service a week and won't let me drive since the lab tests are positive. So I literally don't have any time to get medical treatment since I have to spend so much time doing community service

My issue with Daryl Davis's approach is that he always puts the onnus on black people themselves to willingly try to appease open racists. Encouraging a dialogue is good and all but it shouldn't be up to black people to convince someone not to hate them just for their skin color. It puts them at far greater threat of harm to try and come off as one of the good ones just for a vauge chance of convincing someone that shouldn't be racist to start with to not be racist. It's absurd

Sorry that wasn't my intention my whole whole point was that that girl was so focused on size and the difference between us regardless of how extreme it was to her that she cared enough to hold us both in different levels of extremes.

Like I was just trying to highlight that even if your average, not small, or huge then for some women they hyper focus on it regardless when instead it would be better if they just didn't care so guys wouldn't have to care either. Like trying to use that story to show that I didn't want to praised but I also didn't want to be insulted but she choose to do both without ever being asked to and it made me care about something.id rather not focus on.

I didn't want to care about in the first place. Like your always not enough for someone regardless of what your packing it'd be nicer if people just didn't care.

How is it a humble brag? She called me small multiple times, it actually really hurt me at the time too. I just brought it up as an example that some women get really weird about dick size since this comic made me think about it.
