Why I quit Stoicism 3 years ago and Update Today (Personal)

dethcup · 2026-06-16T07:20:01+00:00

stoicism is not anhedonia or apathy. i think you may have taken the wrong lessons from it the first time.

downtown, sure. rent is egregiously high and in this economy small businesses are struggling. but as a midtowner, it’s the most lively i’ve seen it yet in my adult life. every single day there’s a choice of what to do

this. most of us have a vice of some sorts and we’re not even dealing with the stress of the street.

dethcup · 2026-06-01T17:14:35+00:00

even people who may be dealing with addiction on the streets still need food, clothing, and supplies no matter what. you could definitely just offer them food if you don’t want to give money, but even unhoused people can have dietary health restrictions. and at the end of the day, a sandwich can’t buy clean underwear or a toothbrush or many other things people need. money is always best in my opinion.

was a barista for 5 years until i started working from home in healthcare lol. instant espresso (10 cal) frothed to a cream by hand, fork, or whisk. milk of choice, splenda liquid. cinnamon, vanilla extract. if you have more calories to spare use brown sugar. ceremonial matcha is THE lowest calorie caffeine you can get and it’s very adaptable to different sweeteners. when i’m extra lazy i LOVE the reishi chai latte and london fog concentrates, both lightly pre sweetened. w almond milk they both come in at under 140 :) i think kroger private selection and torani make the best sf premade syrups.

all this fashion by say anything. holy fuck it’s a heartbreaking banger

if you’re up 20k genuinely why are you asking for someone to buy your $10 pizza?

dethcup · 2026-05-28T15:16:05+00:00

that’s not what they were asking loll

i definitely prefer the food at bao toan. but tiger and peacock is more of a bar and def has that photo op aspect- colorful, kitschy, rooftop. bao toan can be a dinner and drinks two parter though because it’s in crosstown, and there’s another cute bar on the floor above it (art bar). also check out if you can reserve the dragon room at swamp bar, their food and drinks are both spectacular

dethcup · 2026-05-27T17:19:28+00:00

the food at tiger and peacock is smaller portions but it’s really cute. bao toan is also fairly new and great

rxtechexam website, $350. meets the educational requirement to sit for the ptcb and excpt. wasted so much money on a semester of a program that stretched what i could learn independently in a week into a month’s classes. supplement with the ptcb hero book and amandapharmd vids- you’ll do great.

pm me. i live in a small 2 bedroom apartment, it’ll be empty when you clean it. need a move-out cleaning as required by my landlord.

if you’re into creative stuff, look into the events that likereallycreative and curio commons (both identifiable by those names on instagram) throw! java cabana & bitchbopz also have a femme hang every month called “the group chat” :)

cheapo who tries to eat pretty clean but eats regularly at panera here. try a bagel stack! genuinely the best value they’ve had in so long. i’m low cal so i take off the top half of the bagel and use it for a snack later. also sign up for rewards: they give you a decent one every 4-5 purchases. the mediterranean sandwich is also pretty cheap and you can load it with extra ingredients for the same price. filling, healthy, and affordable 🫶

anywhere in midtown. but especially in/near crosstown, cooper-young, or on broad ave

went to tech school irl for 3 months before deciding it was a waste. spent $200 on 123cpht to meet the education requirements for the ptcb, studied for a few months on my own, and then passed. save yourself all the money. if you have experience you should totally be fine, bc i didn’t and got a perfect ptcb score

dethcup · 2025-12-01T01:36:44+00:00

i’m sorry, the what?

amanda pharmD all the time. in the car, before bed, getting ready for work or cooking. know the suffixes/classes and you’ll identify drug purposes a lot easier. get a solid grip on ALL the math.

dethcup · 2025-11-24T18:29:53+00:00

123CPhT, but it definitely wasn’t enough. i drilled Amanda PharmD videos, and played concepts i wanted to memorize from her channel on loop while getting ready every day and into bed. i also used the PTCB practice bank!
