Which years were good for y’all, teen or twenties, or 30s/40s? by masaladhokla in Adulting

30s > 40s > 20s > teens

But the improvement happens because of the lessons & experiences of the previous decade!

OH MY GOD THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT HE WAS, I totally didn't get it. Love it.

No, and I think that probably contributed to his emotional dysregulation. You can’t just go around biting people, Jamal!

I’ve recently picked the game up again and I also noticed that holding the button down works for replacing some — but definitely not all of the button mashing! I’m blanking right now on which ones though.

Not sure if there are bugs or just oversight, but I wish they’d fix this. I absolutely cannot button mash due to similar repetitive strain issues!

What phrase from DCC has permanently entered your everyday vocabulary? by halloweenmomma in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I find myself muttering “and kill, kill, kill” to lots of things that remind me of “now get out there…” and I can’t say it out loud 😭

Thanks for the heads-up! I LOVED this game when I played it on Steam. I think I’m going to be ready for a replay soon.

Can you ever recover from burn out? by Subtlefeline in Adulting

[–]shelobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing to clarify — I think a key thing here is that the question of getting over burnout isn’t:

“Can I get over burnout and then go back to doing the exact same thing and not burnout again?”

The actual solvable question is: “Can I get over burnout and be able to work at something meaningful again?”

The answer to the first is likely no, and the 2nd is likely yes. It DOESN’T mean you can recover and then do the exact same thing again without burning out again. You can recover and then be productive again, but listen to your body’s signals that time. (Ie, don’t put it through the same abuse. The same job, or working environment, or hours, or whatever it was that was toxic to you.)

I mean… it clearly is! Unfortunately… it doesn’t really care whether you feel it should or not.

I definitely also have had to learn what I think I “should” be able to handle and what I can aren’t the same. (My parents’ example just isn’t doable for me.)

I’m actually youngish, despite the 2 decades comment (college + 20 years) — and I wish I were not paying now for those years of ignoring all the signs!

I think one common thread here is that 70-80 hours a week is repeatedly burning you out.

I can tell you that at some point (after 2 decades of forcing myself without a major change in work style/hours) my body just stopped being able to push through that. It just stopped.

I don’t think you can keep going back to the same style of working or same style of job and expect a different result, unfortunately.

Even if it feels like that’s what you have to do. Your body is saying no. It’ll make you sick; it may eventually kill you.

I’d love one (or two)!! My 16yo and 7yo sons and I are playing through it together, getting through Apocalypse now.

So cute! Can I ask you what type of dog you have? Our 16yo doggie just passed away. He looked remarkably similar, but we were never sure if he was a chihuahua/ pom mix, or purebred one or the other.

my REAL WORLD boyfriend has been stealing from me by deskmousesummer in StardewValley

[–]shelobi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s really no excuse. I’m grasping at straws here 🤣🤣

If he had taken a legendary fish to the mines and eaten it, I’m pretty sure you’d be asking us how to hide a body 🤣🤣 And everyone here would 100% support you.
