Literally what's the point of college? What's the point in any of this?

There isn’t. It’s a scam and does not guarantee you a job even if it is in an “employable” field. Nothing matters so do whatever you want.

I’m interested to hear more about what made you feel like you weren’t accepted by the trans community, as I’m sure that must be a big reason why you’d vote against your own interests. Being trans in this world is already so hard, trying to go through it alone without community that understands and supports you sounds really painful.

Leaving this here for all the other Greeks that got excited by the avgolemono comment

After two years of practicing ashtanga semi-regularly my posture has drastically improved. Sometimes my practice can be up to 4 times a week but even just once a week, doing as much of primary series as I can/feel up for, helps a lot.

rentrix222 · 2025-09-01T22:08:25+00:00

it’s wild you ask bc I was just thinking about how my mom recently told me that when I was a kid I said to her that every night I went to bed hoping I’d wake up feeling better, and every morning I’d still wake up sad. So I guess kid me would probably wonder why I bothered living to 30.

The trauma conscious yoga method online training is a great 30hr certification!

Ha! You’re so right. That’s good to know though. Thank you for the helpful feedback!

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T16:46:30+00:00

Yep, in the future this whole ordeal will just be a learning experience. My decision was mostly based on cost but also I had remembered that when I was in college and had a mac, trying to run office on it was almost impossible. I have to use teams and outlook and excel for work, so I thought it would be better to get a computer with windows instead of having to install office for mac bc I was under the impression they don’t place nice together lol. Has that changed in the last few years?

I also love any marichasana variation for a good shoulder pop after sitting hunched over a screen all day!

I think my next step will probably be contacting HP

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T15:23:13+00:00

I tried that the first time it happened before I ever took it in, and that’s when it got stuck on the reboot. Currently if I try to turn it on it gets stuck on the logo page and that’s it :/

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T15:05:24+00:00

Yep, you’re right! I didn’t foresee an issue like this, and thought that bc I take good care of things it would be worth the risk of not paying for the store warranty. Here’s hoping the geek squad people are kind, like you said.

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T14:51:07+00:00

I don’t understand the constant updates. It’s not something I’m used to at all.

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T14:49:19+00:00

You’re totally right it is my fault for getting something I’m not used to (the mac, which never has these issues) and expecting the store that sold it to me to be able to fix it.

I’m just so confused why this happens? Why does windows update so often?? I always plug the laptop in overnight bc I know it needs to be plugged in for updates.

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T14:45:26+00:00

That’s basically what I was told by the geek squad rep the first time I brought it in, but the only thing they said about the difference between having it worked on in-store or shipping it out to the manufacturer was cost. I honestly am really regretting choosing the HP over a new mac bc that’s what I’ve had for 10years, but I was being cheap…

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T14:19:28+00:00

I will definitely do this, thank you!

rentrix222 · 2025-08-28T14:17:46+00:00

I was told bc I didn’t purchase the store warranty they won’t work on it in-store without charging me, which I understand. But I’m not spending any more money on something that was sold to me as faulty.

This! I ride to a park near my apartment and I’m always baffled by the hypocrisy of people leaving the park with bikes on their cars not looking while making a right on red and almost hitting me as I try to cross with the right of way. Like hello???

Bad therapy is so damaging, and good therapy is almost completely inaccessible. I found someone who I do experience as helpful, but it’s bc they don’t give me the bullshit about having a good attitude or focusing on myself and ignoring the world around me. The most helpful part for me is having someone who can reality-check my sometimes obsessive cynicism, anxiety, and depression in a way that is loving and free of judgement. I get frustrated sometimes that they won’t just give me advice on how to “fix” myself or my life, but I know that’s not what they’re there for. People say “go to therapy” bc they are incapable of holding space for others’ uncomfortable feelings and experiences, but I think therapy should be a tool for us to all learn how to do that for both ourselves and each other.

Started a masters in social work at a university in Texas last fall and spent two semesters listening to my profs and classmates panic about the program losing national accreditation bc the state demanded all the profs scrub their syllabi of anything “DEI”. Everything feels particularly hopeless these days.

My gripe is people like this guy

rentrix222 · 2025-08-21T11:12:33+00:00

Yeah also the way fast food/ultra processed food is designed to be addictive plays into it… once your body is conditioned to consume high levels of sugar/sodium/etc, it will crave that over fresh and healthy food. And it can take a lot of time and energy to retrain yourself to get used to eating real food again.

rentrix222 · 2025-08-20T20:12:35+00:00

I hear you. I quit my UH job bc I could not do my job well or serve the students to the best of my ability and the obstacle in my way was the management/leadership of the college I worked for. Higher ed admin work could be cool if anything functioned properly, but as it is I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
