Are you saying that depression feels more real than happiness, therefore the happiness must be a trick? What if it’s actually the other way around?

Your best bets for music and art are probably still Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Ballard. When tech came into Seattle, it ended up pushing a lot of the artists out. Seattles not very weird anymore. Honestly, Portland is probably more in line with the Austin vibe than anywhere in Seattle.

I ran into this and became absolutely baffled, because One Drive wasn’t open or logged in or even enabled at all. The computer wasn’t actually saving things to One Drive, but somehow Windows is able to have two different names for the same filepath. C:/Documents is the same folder as C:/OneDrive/user/username/blahblah/Documents. I don’t see how this is possible, but it appears I can’t change it.

Who are these women who can eat three course restaurant meals and don’t weigh 300lbs? If I ate that much on a date, you’d better not expect me to get undressed after that. Lol this whole thread is insane.

Feels like a new dark age.

“You can’t possibly have menopause until you’re 51.”

Lol what.

I always laugh when people misspell sweetie. You think you’re being clever, but you’ve completely botched your insult.

Sharks? Lol, no. At least I’ve never heard of any, and I’ve lived in the northwest for a long time. But the water is cold, yes. Also I think tsunamis are possible in that area, though uncommon. The main highway runs north-south along the coast rather than turning inland, so it might be hard to evacuate if there was one.

Did she have an extra $90k lying around, or are her children going to be paying off that debt?

That looks a lot like Brit Marling, the actress.

If that were true, ulcers would not be a thing.

And you’re saying thise kids deserve to have their lives endangered because of whatever stupid decisions their parents are making? The kids don’t have a say in anything, and they can’t leave! This person was too much of a coward to take this action to wherever the councilperson works. Nobody cares about innocent lives lost anymore.

And also, the more this sort of thing happens, the less people will want to put their families in potential danger. You will get fewer good, quality people running for any office.

You need to start doing these things often enough that the anxiety starts to subside. You are anxious because these experiences are new for you, but do them enough and they will become routine.

Remember how you felt before you went to the theater? You weren’t even sure you could do it. But you did, even if it felt weird during or after. That’s ok. That’s real progress. You did the thing even though you were afraid. Now you know you can do it, and it will likely feel less weird next time. Keep building progress slowly, and remember it’s ok to feel anxious.

Probably because the “5 social-process levels” sounds like some culty pseudoscience mumbo jumbo. There are a ton of snake oil books claiming “if you do what I say you’ll solve all your problems and the world’s too.” There is no simple hidden trick to solving all the world’s problems.

Why the fuck are you censoring “French”?

Too real. Though of course, according to the psychologist, I couldn’t possibly be ADHD just because I’ve never been fired from any job.

Been to Portland recently. There’s plenty of neighborhoods where you can walk around safely. There’s one small area of downtown where there’s a lot of homeless, and you probably want to stay away from the ICE building for obvious reasons, but other than that it’s like any other city.

Some people are just… irrationally afraid of the homeless. Most of them will not try to rob you or even bother you, but it is a good idea if you find yourself in an area like that, to pay attention to your surroundings and not get too close to anyone, just in case they start swinging their arms around wildly or something.

I have. LG replacement parts. Not only was there no tracking number, you had to download the app AND “connect it to your email” in order to track the package. No mention of what exactly that meant or what level of access the app would have to my emails. I assume it would have to scan all my email to even find what it was supposed to be tracking. That’s a big no.

That’s not blocking them from tracking you. You’re only blocking yourself from seeing the ads they’ve chosen to show you based on the tracking they’ve already done.

Pretty sure they have debunked both of those. Crunches put a lot of strain on your lower back, and it’s also not great to use ab muscles to suck it in all the time. You’re compressing your gut instead of developing the correct back muscles that should be holding you up.
