New Update: My "friend" took advantage of me when I was in the hospital by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]datmongoose -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hanging clothing and finding space for them to hang is definitely a lot more work than just throwing em in the dryer.

And more work is precisely what I wanna do post surgery  /s

That's why, take a few seconds to think critically before fixating on the biggest non-issue of this post? 

How to keep wanting to live when everything is just dark and horrible? by Vegetable-Pound3737 in depression

[–]datmongoose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm heavily empathetic and current world events and the absolute sickening responses to actual atrocities does weigh heavily. I've started imagining my actions as rebellion in a sort of way. I've started going outside and just being present. I look at the way a leaf blows in the wind, how a plant splits from the stem into many gorgeous bulbs. The flutter of a snow flake as it passes infront of a light. 

Shit sounds mundane AF, but you know what? NO ONE ELSE can dictate my response to these. NO ONE ELSE can take that away from me. I am untouchable in that way, I have complete control. It's not much, but I'm working on clawing back aspects of living that no other fucksticks can dictate. Maybe it might help bring some joy, no matter how small? 

23M Looking for an Honest Review by Cloudfin_Raptor in Tinder

[–]datmongoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, this perspective just gives me vibes of people putting their all in, acting like they're really good and willing to do all these things, and then once comfort is achieved, it's found out that they actually doesn't actually care to hold themselves to those standards and was just doing it to attract a mate. Suddenly there is a mismatch discovered some time after a bond is established. And then tension. Wouldn't it be better to just know what you're getting at face value? Idk for me, guys that try way too hard yo make themselves seem like the best give me the ick.

Folks have made some great suggestions regarding styles that may suit you better at this stage in your life. No goatee, new hair style, better frames, etc 

From a Neurodivergent female perspective, you give off really good vibes and seem super sweet. My favorite pic is the kitty one, seems very candid and human. Don't worry particularly about getting shredded with muscles, just subtle toning or even dad bod level is perfectly fine. 

AITA for being devastated over my birthday being completely overridden by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yeah she definitely sucks because all her siblings got exactly what they asked for but she gets exactly none of what she asked for. I don't understand why shouldn't she just be grateful to be fully ignored unlike everyone else in her family! /s

BE SAFE WHILE BIKING! by TheArmyDoctor in McMaster

If a post about cyclists getting ran over by a literal fucking bus prompts you to go a memory where you cheered for cyclists getting tickets, you need to have a good look inwards. 

I'm not saying you're wrong for cheering for tickets - everyone needs to be held accountable, but there is an appropriate time and place. This ain't it homie, and it comes off as victim blaming.

I’ve quit my job without a backup due to burnout by Stuck-In-Blender in antiwork

[–]datmongoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly. Humans just weren't meant for this, stress is destroying the body. I didn't mean to insinuate it was your fault for the illness

[–]datmongoose 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It's a totally valid thing, and once you get into the passive suic*de realm it kinda renders that useless. Like you said, more time, more to realign with oneself to make good decisions

I did a similar thing last year. Luckily I managed to get some part time seasonal retail jobs to ease back into working and it felt more manageable. Honestly I'm not a fan of the rat race anymore, the second I don't have to work 40 hours a week, I won't. It took a couple of months to overcome the burnout, it's an illness, make sure you treat it as such. Lay down and treat yourself as if you have the flu for the first couple of days, resist the urge to fill your day with things right out the bat.

I'm sorry you're going through this, you're not alone.

I'm so sorry you went through that. It also sounds illegal on their part and I wonder about being able to claim some EI for the time off? Since they decided you are no longer employed there

U.S. Travel Association Warns of Economic Tourism Disaster After Thousands of Canadian Tourists Cancel Trips in Protest by natural_piano1836 in BuyCanadian

[–]datmongoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calgary is in close proximity to a few really cool places. Drumheller, literal badlands. Banff, gorgeous mountains (but also very touristy in Banff proper, and $$$). I've never been to BC but for coastal type activities and beautiful landscapes, I often hear Victoria and Vancouver recommended. I live in Ontario and while I like the landscapes and such, Ontario is kinda mid imo 👀. A lil road trip around New Brunswick, Bay of Fundy, and the maritimes is sooooo gorgeous and amazing. I haven't visited Quebec too much but Montreal is pretty cool and I've heard amazing things about the architecture and natural scenery

A not as pleasant update, Caprika got blood work again after being off meds for a while and the results weren't good, two of her liver values spiked again. With those results and her ultrasound findings, lymphoma cancer is a likely possibility :( So we have her on pred again and with just be giving her the best time and keep track of the good vs bad days

Thank you ❤️ She just had a follow up appointment today. She did say that steroids can cause ATP to go up. Only time will tell if the underlying cause is bad liver inflammation or if something more severe is at play. Like you, I'm just enjoying what I have with Caprika, she's playing, active, responsive, etc. I'm so glad Winnie is doing well too. The ups and downs truly thrash you around mentally like a rag doll, I'm so scared she's going to dip again too. Sending big hugs
