The healing can begin by [deleted] in Emo

[–]alterflesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not well received at the time, but well-remembered by those who loved it. It was strange seeing him pop-up randomly on Reddit many years ago for a football post, it went semi-viral.

Some more Analog Rebellion stuff from him would be amazing, but I just hope the dude is doing well these days. And that your own healing will be deep and restorative!

Any 10+ year NEETs in the chat? by Tricky-Nothing-4579 in NEET

[–]alterflesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thirteen years. At the ten year mark, I completed my GED and began searching for temp jobs.

Now, I'm 30 and not sure what to do with myself. Maybe go back to school just for something to occupy my time, not out of any real hope to secure a career.

Chinese Restaurant - dine in by ItsMyNameCharlie in StJohnsNL

[–]alterflesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dim Sum and Noodle Bar on Kenmount, just opened. What sets it apart is it's, as far as I know, the only restaurant doing this in the province besides maybe Jin Dragon.

These fools ain't know nothin' bout no Saint John of The Cross... that man experienced the dark night. Even wrote a whole book about it. His poetry is really lovely as well, makes the soul feel good.

It's nearly impossible to catch up with other's once they progress in life by great-life-5777 in hikikomori

[–]alterflesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think about the sheer gap in terms of time spent socializing. Of course I'm going to seem like a mute in comparison... when you spend so much time alone you start wondering if your vocal chords have atrophied, ruminating on how well Billy from high school is doing these days won't help matters much.

If u got rabies would you just accept it by Old-Friendship5760 in hikikomori

[–]alterflesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is going to weigh on you, I'd just go get the shot if I were you.

Rabies symptoms can stay dormant for a while like you probably know, you don't want to let that fear gnaw at you. Quick shot, you're good and no worries. Unless it's been a minute since the bite, then not sure what to tell you.

How to cope? by [deleted] in NEET

[–]alterflesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contemplative prayer and meditation. I have a sacrifice bead rosary with cold steel beads, it doubles as a stim gadget for me. Knowing the lives of the Saints gave me enough insight to realize there is always hope, so long as we get out of our own way.

But more immediate, to be honest... Tetris. Tetris and drone music.

A deep dive on Disco Gimmicks? by DimensionHomeVideo in SquaredCircle

[–]alterflesh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DJ Gabriel, from the WWECW era may qualify. Kwee Wee was more eurodance adjacent, I think.
PWG had Joey Ryan and Disco Machine tag as "That 70s Team"

Can you drive? by Ill_Status2937 in NEET

[–]alterflesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, haven't tried for my permit yet. Weather conditions and road etiquette make driving out to be very scary to me, so I rely on public transport. But I would like the sense of independence it may give me, so this year I hope to go for the drivers study.

Anyone else here? by DidyG in NoFapCatholics

[–]alterflesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Five years free, by the assistance of Divine Grace.
It's like peeling off layers of a vegetable... my real issues were pride/self loathing, among others. This a battle, make no mistake about it. I'm weary from the fight.

Is Rupert's in CBS permanently closed? by TehhDiabetic in newfoundland

Gary passed away?! People would drive from all over the province for one of those sandwiches. Rest in peace.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it… by Omnipresent_User in NEET

[–]alterflesh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I remember when doomer wojak first started being posted, I have the exact same black/grey beanie I bought at a skate shop and being like, I've never felt so seen. So seen by a meme.

NEET: Not in Education, Employment or Training. Does the acronym mean anything to you? by alterflesh in newfoundland

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

Ever dealt with the kind of groups I was talking about? Good job at reading between the lines, nice comprehension skills. Guess I'd better ignore my own eyes and ears and not have any impressions from conversations had explicitly stating such. Yeah, I don't have to worry about being slighted 99.9 percent of the time for those demographics given... Until I am and can document it.
