  • I didn’t read your original comment so it doesn’t matter. I’m also jaded. I debated hitting “submit” or not because when I’m at my lowest idk that any “cheer up! You matter!” Empty BS helps at all. But I figure fuck it. Nothing makes you want to live more than going to a funeral that wasn’t supposed to happen. And walking out of a shitty job can work surprisingly well. Or at least knowing you can. Maybe not in this economy, but it’s better than listening to your boss plan out the next few years of your life and it sounds like torture.

    Either way, being depressed sucks and I’m just thinking that I feel much better now just telling my current job that I’m not impressed when I think they’re fucking up. Even if they don’t fix it. You sound miserable there so any changes YOU make in your life are bound to be better.


  • You have nothing to lose, then. Since you still have some sort of drive or sense of purpose to go into your job, might as well tell people what made you hate your job and office and helped push you to a dark place. Not that you’d tell them the heavy stuff, but that open office plans make phone calls hard or raising prices in the vending machines while freezing wages makes you not care if the work is done right. Whatever it is. Might as well make them uncomfortable too, right?

    Most people are afraid to speak up. They’re sycophants to survive. You could reach a new level of Zen. Let that which truly does not matter, slide.

    Kind of like Office Space. Or Fight Club. Depending on your attitude.

    You may even pull out if it by changing your environment enough to care about life again. Cause shit man, it can’t get much worse if you’re suicidal.

    Personally, I walked out of a job with nothing in the works because I kept having nervous breakdowns and didn’t want to deal with everything anymore. And you know what? I got some much needed perspective in that downtime. I feel much happier now.

    Killing yourself means everything else wins. Make life deal with YOU. We all die “naturally” soon enough anyway. My best friend died two weeks ago way too young while shitty people live till they’re 80. I don’t know when I will die. But I won’t stay quiet at my job it’s in my life just to prevent making waves. Someone has to make them. Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn’t. But damn if it’s not healthier to let it out.






  • It does slow down after that. Eventually, it picks back up during Endwalker and that does really well on it’s own, but in the shadow of Shadowbringers it’s hard to measure up. Endwalker would be my second favorite expansion. Even post-EW was good. But then it drops like a rock for Dawntrail. That’s my least favorite of the entire series. Maybe they’ve turned it around, idk. But I quit in the post-DT around one of the quests that just says “Speak to Wuk Lamat” AGAIN and I just don’t know why we’re still hanging out with that loser who falls into success.


  • It does get good at the climax of the base game, A Realm Reborn, when Rauban loses control. That’s what hooked me. There are other great moments and plots along the way through the whole game . But for the overall best time, it’s the 3rd expansion, Shadow Bringers, that’s a masterpiece all the way through. That’s some of the best Final Fantasy I’ve ever played from Squaresoft or SquareEnix.

    Dawntrail, I can’t recommend. I can’t get into it.






  • I live in a flyover state, and was never teased in the locker room for being uncircumcised. No one even brought it up. Had they, I’m sure my response would’ve been “why you looking at my dick, bro? You hungry?”.

    Cleaning is as easy as any other body part.

    I’ve never had a negative interaction about it with any girl. I don’t think most girls know what they’re looking at with a lot of detail.

    My son isn’t either, and I just showed him how to bathe properly early on (keeping in mind kids often forget it don’t understand and need little of reinforcement for anything). “If you don’t scrub a body part with soap, it isn’t getting cleaned”. That’s true for armpits, feet, whatever. Never a problem.

    It’s amazing that most of the world is uncircumcised, and doesn’t have a problem. It’s only the United States where we have to chop off boys dicks?



  • I disagree, “What’s up, people?” By Maximum the Hormone (Death Note OP 2) is great. The intro with all the manically laughing Light heads in the fires of hell, while MtH growls metal vocals over it? Chef’s kiss.

    High School of the Dead has a great opening as well - Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets. It’s also a really fun anime.

    Call of the Night’s entire anime was written around the song in their season 1 opening. It’s pretty good as well.

    Someone already mentioned Cowboy Bebop, and that entire soundtrack is perfect. They wrote many episodes to fit the music they made first.

    Tokyo Ghoul had that meme of the opening for a while, because that one part sounds really nice when it hits.

    I’m sure there’s others, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.





  • It’s odd that they consider the really specific case of a teen that works two jobs to make ends meet, and decide to make national sweeping changes to accommodate that. No, no way could it have any negative effect on anyone else. And they definitely shouldn’t try to address the problem of one job for that teen not being enough to support themselves.

    THIS is what a union helps you do. To stop shit like this. This is an unthinkable possibility in the US because there’s no unions in any effective capacity.
