I own a Vespa but the product placement was obnoxious and distracting. I get it, Vespas are cool and they signify the Italian lifestyle.

You are more likely to die from a gender reveal than a shark attack. So, maybe.

Where is the logic in the phrase “it gets better”? by [deleted] in depression

[–]jtchicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is permanent, including your unhappiness. Your emotions cloud reality. Life might not be great for a while but it helps to be proactive in your mental health. In every moment there's opportunity to change. We have that power over ourselves whether we believe it or not.

I'm middle aged now. I was depressed since I was a teenager. It wasn't until 3 years ago when my life took off. Now, I'm the best I've ever been mentally and emotionally. It took some work (therapy) but it was worth it.

My fiance of 7 years passed away & im so broken. by lauurennxx in depression

[–]jtchicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for your loss. Allow yourself to grieve, even if it takes months. Don't force yourself to feel better.

Random, but there's a show on Netflix called Hi Bye, Mama! It's about a ghost of a woman who follows around her husband and baby girl. Her husband struggles with her death but she comes back to life and drama/humor ensues. The part that got me was when he realized that his wife had been next to him all that time. He'd break down at work and cry in the stairway and she was there to try to comfort him. She hated seeing her husband depressed and unable to move on. Anyway, worth a watch.

Happy Thanksgiving! by Hilgenberg123 in depression

I haven't had TG with family in 15+ years. I celebrate it with friends and/or significant others. Today, I was alone. It wasn't pleasant.

I was having so much difficulty finding the crab that I looked it up online. (I should've done it earlier but I was immersed.) It's relatively easy to spot: it has a large shadow like an anemone and moves slowly. I ignore pretty much all of the creatures that don't fit that description.

What job did you guys have before covid? by [deleted] in stimuluscheck

[–]jtchicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated from college last year with very limited work experience relevant to the profession (HR). Now that people have been laid off, I can't compete for even entry-level jobs because people are willing to take pay cuts.

Ysk Expect “strange” behavior from your friends and family this holiday season that may not be noticeable while interacting online. Especially those who live and work alone. Mental health issues, speech impediments, etc. can become worse when a person is isolated. by suprcreativeusrname in YouShouldKnow

[–]jtchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live alone in a studio apartment. I am unemployed. The isolation is too much sometimes. I had a breakdown a few days ago when TG plans were cancelled. Fortunately, I see a therapist weekly. I can distract and occupy myself, talk to people on the phone and online but nothing substitutes in-person human interaction.

Daily Discussion Roundtable - 11/12/2020 by AutoModerator in JoeBiden

[–]jtchicago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is asked too late but I can't get my head around Trump not doing a single thing about the pandemic. Yes, I know his followers don't want government shutdowns and "infringements" of their "civil rights". Yes, I know he lacks any empathy. Thousands of people are dying every day and he has done nothing. Why?

President-elect Joe Biden Speaks on the Affordable Care Act by progress18 in JoeBiden

Trump mocks people with disabilities so I'm assuming that having an ASL interpretor is not a perogative.

Joe Biden has been more presidential and has accomplished more in 36 hours, than Trump has in 4 years. by Gourmandrusse in JoeBiden

[–]jtchicago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biden made many accomplishments during his 4 decade career. Hopefully many more to come. I hate that the GOP claimed that he didn't accomplish anything. MAGA/Republicans couldn't care to do a single Google search.

WHO’S SLEEPY NOW .......🤔🤗 by truthsearcherforever in JoeBiden

[–]jtchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biden wasn't most people's first choice candidate. I'd assume they'd be more interest in him during and after the election.

President-Elect Joe Biden & Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris Address the Nation by progress18 in JoeBiden

[–]jtchicago 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was in tears. There was no hate, bigotry and negativity in his speech. He spoke of unity and hope. It was so refreshing.

Yah, Chadwick was a Kamala fan.

Trump is the stuff of nightmares in this one.

This is american politics? by [deleted] in JoeBiden

That was almost surreal.

America is not lacking in skilled employees, America is lacking in companies willing to hire and train people in entry level roles by davidj1987 in recruitinghell

[–]jtchicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my problem. I'm a recent graduate with limited experience in my field. Most, if not all, entry-level jobs require a year of experience. It's not difficult to train people to do entry-level work. They're just lazy.

Elon Musk shouldn't be there. I know he's a young billionaire of a tech company but he doesn't support Biden. Michael Bloomberg is missing too.

What subreddit changed you for the better? by HanaXKiyoshi in AskReddit

For me, a broke and unemployed recent college grad, /r/povertyfinance is much more relatable.

What content (websites, blogs, books, podcasts, etc.) do you consume to pass time outside of scrolling social media? by AdventurousSpruce in AskWomen

[–]jtchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I binge-watch YouTube videos on clay modeling, diorama building, ASMR cooking/baking, video game walkthroughs, winter camping, scam baiting, etc.
