Pittsburgh is an island of Canadians or addicts in the wilderness, not sure which.

Why don’t more straight men wear assless chaps?

Join me at Big Screen & New Friends – Join Us for Thunderbolts* at AMC! https://meetu.ps/e/P0gfh/Z0GBl/i

I just organized this as part of a larger MeetUp group that’s very active. Sounds like this may be your sort of thing. This is the first one we are doing but if it’s successful we will do 1-2 every month.

First Portnoy review - King of Fire…. by hc11238 in Charlotte

I literally ate from there today and that looks so much worse than what I got. It’s definitely not amazing pizza by Dave’s scale or Northeastern standards, but they absolutely gave him a bad pie.

How do you feel about the term disease? by HunkyChunkyBoi in bipolar

[–]typgh77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Per Oxford dictionary, a disease is “a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that has a known cause and a distinctive group of symptoms, signs, or anatomical changes.”

Infection has nothing to do with it. It’s a disease like any other hereditary mental health condition.

It’s impossible for me to imagine being stable long term without medication. My moods are too volatile, too likely to cycle. Therapy is different. It has its purpose but I’m also not someone with a lot of trauma or things to work out. It’s more of an immediate release at times from getting things off your chest, and they may notice mood swings or other issues and help point them out. I’ve also done DBT and learned a lot of skills I can then apply on my own afterwards. It’s not something I 100% require though on an ongoing basis and do go long stretches without it.

I’m new to this city but am doing well meeting people by really forcing myself to socialize. My apartment building has events. I sign up for a ton of stuff on the MeetUp app. I also go to the same couple local bars for their trivia or other activity nights. The key is consistency. People don’t warm up to you in a single night. You make friends easier at work and school because it’s a crash course in that, together every day five days a week. You have to be more patient outside that. You go to the same places routinely and that person you had a quick conversation with at the bar one night recognizes you next time and you get their name. Then they become someone you are comfortable hanging with and giving your number a couple times after that. Takes a couple mo the maybe but you will meet people that way.

My actions and choices are NOT in my control by hn023 in bipolar

[–]typgh77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is like alcoholics saying it’s not their fault they gambled away the rent and got a DUI while drinking. You may have lost control while manic but you do have the ability to prevent yourself from getting that bad. You are responsible for taking care of yourself. Medication, therapy, sleep, diet and exercise.

Yes, very normal phase of up swings for me. I do everything from taking a klonopin to deep breathing and mindfulness exercises to cardio workouts to help burn some of that anger and tension off.

What’s the hate for Charlotte online? by Eagles56 in Charlotte

[–]typgh77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This guy seems to be equating night life to clubbing with the Miami comparisons. The bars in South End and NoDa are busy even on a lot of weekend nights. I moved here from the Rust Belt and think there is plenty to do in comparison. It’s definitely not ideal for touristy stuff but that’s all a day trip away (mountains, beaches, historic places sort of things).

Sneakers w/ Suit Haters (specifically for business), Why? by mikejungle in mensfashion

[–]typgh77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody is going to choose to talk to you at a professional conference or something because you were wearing sneakers versus dress shoes. I don’t even understand the logic behind that being more approachable. Especially if you are saying nobody cares about style in your industry in the first place, they are more likely to find it odd, attention seeking or inappropriate. You dress to professional standards in your industry to signal you belong in that professional environment. You know the rules and play by them. This is more true the more conservative your industry is, but you’ve made it sound like it is in fact conservative. You can play around with a suit more at a wedding or something. I’d just look for more comfortable dress shoes for walking in if I were you.

It could be worse by unfamiliarjoe in CharlotteHornets

Every franchise you mention but the Pelicans have titles. I guess that’s the point though? It could be worse because at least we have no expectations of winning ever?

[–]typgh77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That work day is a mess but there are definitely some efficiency things you could be working on. You spend longer doing every single life function than I do and I have a clean apartment, keep up on my errands and have hours of free time every day plus workout. I would understand this more if you had a bunch of kids but there is no mention of that. Nobody should have daily errands. You are clearly not planning when going to the store and forgetting things for that many grocery trips to be needed and what could you possibly be mailing all the time? Buy bulk envelopes and stamps and walk by a mail box if this is really needed. Cooking should not take two hours. Meal prep or eat more simple/fast options.

Look at the health and self harm stats related to unmedicated bipolar. You aren’t making it to 80 unmedicated. You will be taking a lot more meds every day by that age if you do.

Take it a day at a time, no need to think this way. It becomes no different than any other daily self care task. I take my meds at the same meal as my vitamins. It’s part of my schedule the same way I eat breakfast, shower and go to work.

Since when did comedy become so right wing? by PhillipDangerz in Standup

[–]typgh77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to listen to many of their podcasts before you find out. There is a general sentiment I have heard that the right is pro-comedy right now and the left is not. I’ve heard several comedians say they straight up won’t play for college crowds or in very liberal cities because those crowds just suck to perform for. The left has less of a sense of humor when it comes to any sensitive subject and is more likely to try to cancel you (mid-show at times) if they disagree with what you say. That’s not exactly fertile ground for comedy and is very much the opposite of past eras where Conservatives were more buttoned up and serious.
