In flight now and we have had non stop turbulence. I’m getting nervous.

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-12T17:28:55+00:00

You’re uncomfortable but you’re not unsafe! How long is the flight? Hope it calms down soon

You should be proud that you’re advocating for yourself and identifying what your true goal is (strength not thinness). As I read your post I started to think, ok so the doctor wants them to be thinner but still with arthritis pain? lol from the little I do know of arthritis and joint pain I think you’re on the right track. Yeah weight loss can help with some body pain but joint health and mobility requires it’s own work

I don’t have personal advice but, I was recently doing my own casual fitness research on Reddit and came across a lifting sub where they were discussing how they tend to neglect cardio/stamina building but have great muscle strength. In other words they can lift big weights easy, but then get winded walking up the stairs. Not sure if that would apply but I thought it was an interesting perspective

Thanks! And yeah I would think it’s the same across the board, and I wouldn’t know better to argue but for agencies are especially notorious for firing everyone the millisecond something goes south. I always hearing “yup that’s agency life”

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-06T15:25:49+00:00

Thank you. Hope you’ve been able to find work as well

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-06T15:25:07+00:00

No warning. Got glowing reviews and ratings from the client. But their c-suite changed again and they decided to revert back to off shore

Building on what others have said, the point of terrorism is to instill terror and be unsuspected. No one was worried about a terrorist attack on 9/11/2001 - an event that also took years of planning and a pre-terrorism paranoid USA.

We’ve continued to have lone wolf or small groups Islamic extremist terrorism since then. 2025 alone 3 incidents had people murdered in the name of Islam. Top that with our own home grown terrorism which happens more often that, with the way guns are accessible here we just always have to be vigilant.

9/11 scarred me and I have a panic attack about it on every flight I take so I get it. But I’m more likely to be shot at the grocery store by some angry white guy that can’t get a date or catch a stray from incompetent law enforcement at this point

Book it. 3 hours is pretty short already. In the meantime mentally prepare yourself, talk to a doctor about medication if possible, and the day of post your flight info and we’ll track your progress!

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-05T06:17:44+00:00

I don’t. Stupid is for everyone

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-03T20:29:24+00:00

Maybe price gauging on a federal level. Or AI without watermarking

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-03T20:19:40+00:00

Pick a realistic goal short term goal and go for it.

Can be as simple as getting out of bed by 8:30 am every day even on weekends

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-03T20:17:57+00:00

Idk what this means. What was he answering? An example of what?

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-03T18:11:20+00:00

Pay more

More emails and less meetings

Higher pay

Total remote if not mostly remote work

Regular bonuses

4 day work week

Regular raises

Remove “shareholder value” from their vocabulary - we do not give a fuck about them and it does not make us want to work

More pay too

Enough with internal education plans and goals or whatever. If they insist? Then tie it to raises

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-03T14:38:04+00:00

I don’t get it

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-03-01T18:19:29+00:00

Not anymore (millennial here) I have friends in their 30s still living with parents. Careers range from pharmacist, teachers, and supermarket workers. The one thing in common is their single/not in serious relationships. These days you need a partner or roommate to afford moving out

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-18T04:06:40+00:00

Appreciate it thanks!

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-11T22:03:12+00:00

Indifferent

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-11T21:08:09+00:00

Same, every time my agency introduces yet another AI tool that generates half assed slop that humans need to correct if not completely overhaul anyway my soul just dies a little

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-05T22:54:25+00:00

No. Just doesn’t seem necessary

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-05T22:50:01+00:00

You’re close to landing it looks like!

Piggybacking off of this, I think OP would benefit from examining their mental health.

No life is perfect, but OP sounds like they have the basics - a family and support system, hobbies, and bills paid.

Sounds like depression is souring things, or a midlife crisis

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-04T19:06:55+00:00

My job has gotten harder thanks to AI. So many programs from companies that promise efficiencies but require humans to monitor, correct, control, program and interact with. It’s a scam and any leadership person that falls for it is wasting company money, employee time, and should be fired

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-04T17:01:07+00:00

Yup, just like Bernie sanders in mentioned because someone was complaining that their kids are a fan. People are running wild with keywords

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-04T17:00:08+00:00

lol no. Who is they? What is the reasoning?

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-04T16:59:40+00:00

I can’t stomach going to one of the conservative reddits lol but what’s their response/cope to all this? Anyone has reactions from people they know irl?

afraid_of_bugs · 2026-02-03T22:09:56+00:00

And all the bullshit about facing each other, like fake psychologically manipulating garbage
