    I want to own a library adjacent a bakery that I run which also serves Frappachinos and is open between 6pm and 6 am (no other of either is open past 6pm in this area) but I can’t do that for one really big reason: MONEY, and one smaller reason: realtors never call you back.

    I also want to open the following manufacturing facilities: Cetyl Alcohol, Propionic Acid, and lastly Semiconductor grade silicone powder. Stills and vats are easy enough after the red tape, but quartz crushers, seperation cells, and furnaces are a bit harder to come by.

      You’ve described paradise. I hope you’re able to make this happen.

      Edit: I read the first half of your comment and then responded. But I guess manufacturing is good, too.

    Me, yesterday.

    Long-ish day at school, my girlfriend went to friends for karaoke. I had the option of either going with her, going to table tennis practise, or go play Magic at our LGS for FNM.

    I chose option D: stay home, smoke weed, watch YouTube, and play video games. Really needed it.

      You can’t hate yourself into self-acceptance.

      Practice kindness.

      “I am allowed to rest and chill, life is draining.”

      And at the same time you should consider making plans to do small things just to get out of the house. Planning them ahead will make them more concrete and if you want to you can always bail on them later.

      Start with the smallest steps like going for a walk.

    it’s only scary because he left out the details like, the living room with a 55" 1.22m wide 4K oled display, gaming PC, mini fridge, air conditioning and a drawer filled with vegan chocolate and cookies.

    That would not have scared child me. Child me would be delighted she wasn’t been dragged to various things her mother wanted her to do.

      That’s a success story.

      Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn. That happens outside the comfort zone. Uncomfortable emotions will come up and they will pass.

      Succeeding on the first try shouldn’t be expected. Try again.

        Thanks! Yeah. I wish I could say it was hard. But wegovy was easy. I’m weaning off of it too, and so far no weight has come back.

          Modern medicine is a marvel. I’m starting semaglutide too and so far it’s having a huge effect on my habits, but I haven’t lost too much weight yet.

            It takes a bit. I didn’t really start losing weight until 1.7mg dose. I went up to 2.4mg originally but I lost 10 lbs in two weeks so they brought be back to 1.7 for a month or two before bumping me back to 2.4mg /week.

            Now, weaning off of it, I’m at 2 weeks between 2.4g doses. Then it will be 3. If I still don’t lose weight, then I win.
