    "Quick, let's write another chapter before we ship this!"
    people always told me i could do anything but no one ever told me it was okay if i couldn't
    people who know me: "you don't need to set your expectations for yourself at the moon, no one can do everything and i can see it's hurting you"

    literally everyone else: "your expectations are too LOW actually and you're getting in the way of decent people"

    i soak these things in like a sponge and it's so confusing
    why does the internet act like 30 is the new 50, like every time someone mentions they're over 30 in a video they just HAVE to be like "yes i'm old", i get teens believing it but why do actual 30-somethings

    Well, in my generation there was the phrase; Never trust anybody over 30. That means I'm now well past my expiration date and I sorta' feel it with all the maintenance I've been doing the past two years.

    30 is the new 50????? -ROTFLMAO

    With plenty of hindsight I can assure you it ain't true. ;)
    sometimes i have tons of compassion and i feel bad for killing an ant, and sometimes i don't have any and people barely register as people. and the weird part is there's very little in between, it's like a switch flips sometimes. it makes it hard to know what kind of person i am, and that scares me.
    i'm so sick of people online who pretend they're goody good boys who could never hurt a fly, and they act all appalled and scandalized if you imply you've ever wished you could hurt someone. you can tell the way they judge people they're actually as bad as the rest of us, but i don't think they're manipulative on purpose, i think they actually don't realize what they're capable of.

    It's starting to get scary how many extremely old (75+) people are still working despite giving every indication that their mental capacity is so deteriorated that they can no longer do their jobs that they have done for decades, but there are no qualified young people to replace them with, so they continue working.
    feel so raw this month, feels like everyone hates me and i hate them too... it's hard to control my emotions

    Your emotions may be beyond your control but your reactions to them are. In a life filled with so much we cannot control, you can process your emotions and then control your reaction to those things that you cannot exert control over.
    i typed a lot one night and my thumb hurt when i moved it, i didn't think it meant anything but that was at least 3 weeks ago and it hasn't improved. anyone know what to do?

    Doctor appointment. It's possible the pain isnt quite what you think it is. Or WHERE you think it is. A doctor can help you figure out what/where it REALLY is. Source: years and years of dealing with this very type of pain.

    @Judge is right though, in that ergonomics is important. Even when not considering current pain, it can lessen future pain. Good keyboard, good chair, good posture. And consider a vertical mouse. Magical devices, those. Dont know how I ever put up with a normal mouse.
    Sometimes I get stressed and for a few days I start running my mouth, saying stuff without thinking, and I don't even realize I'm doing it until someone calls me out. Anyone else?

    Sometimes I even do that without being stressed. :)
    Youtube's suddenly decided I have the opposite politics from my real ones for some reason. Thanks.
    how can there be SO much pent up anger in the world but it all still has nowhere to go
    Does anyone know what this is? Looks just like a cherry tomato on the outside. Some of them were more yellow. I'm thinking a kind of cherry, but what?

    Thanks! They're not Damsons, but that got me to look up plums and I think they're cherry plums. Then, Aneka, I saw your comment just as I was typing this, lol.

    If it had been a cherry, there would have been a pit.
    Roundish.

    Plums have flat pits, sometimes called a stone.

    I think it's some kind of chabacano (don't know the english name for it, sorry)
    i was hiking with someone and i swear we saw a tree with tomatoes growing on it! we haven't been able to cut open any of them but they're not pointed like tamarillos...

    You can always send me a PM if you need to chat with someone. I get really lonely sometimes too.
    sometimes i make friends and i think people will like me better now so i try to make friends with them and they act like i'm not there, just like always... even if they're autistic usually
    Apparently in June, the American Medical Association withdrew its support for ABA therapy and condemned it. I don't know anything about ABA or the website I'm linking to, so I have no opinion on it, but it sounds important.

    i tried to upload a picture to my signature and it loads in the editor, but it won't load in my posts?
