Off-topic random shit thread but the only rule is DO NOT TALK ABOUT MOIDS.
Doesn't matter if it's scrotes you hate, moids you love, scrotes you are attracted to, moids you aren't attracted to, scrotes you personally know, moids you don't personally know, scrotes that literally just exist, husbandos, yaoi, bara, het ships, nonexistent men, hypothetical men (including even God or Jesus), men's opinions, none of these things are allowed ITT. NO PICTURES of moids (including animated moids) allowed either. This also includes trannies since they are men. If an anon mentions males ITT, report immediately and do not respond.
>But why?It's exhausting and annoying to see anons talking about nothing but moids over and over.
>Isn't this thread redundant?If only.
>But what about-Real life animals are fine but otherwise just follow the Rule of thumb: if you have to ask then it most likely belongs elsewhere so don't even bother.

I’ve been having a really rough go at it recently and think it’s because I am still in grief over life circumstances. I’ve been putting off stuff that I use to never even fathom putting off, I just am so spent I can’t bring myself to care about them. I need to be working hard to help future me but current me is a husk of her former self and can barely function in her day to day. I am so sad for my younger self, not just child me but the one from a year ago too. I usually try and work for them and to make them happy, but I just can’t right now. If nonnys could spare some kind thoughts for me I would so greatly appreciate it, I can’t talk about this too much irl for various reasons so most of my support has to come from me. It’s just really hard right now.

>>2273024that grief can be really hard to let go.
it is not forming any direction, it just is an expanding room, it takes up space into the future, to the past and you kinda just sit in this space without any mobility. just have to accept of what is. i hope that does not feel disheartening to you.
i find it easier to allow it. eventually, that sorrow changes into acceptance, some kind of mellow simplicity. and if you reach that stage, try not to stay in there out of fear to be set back once more.
it sounds like you are just exhausted and need some rest. what you ahve put aside, will come back once you have recovered. give yourself some time to fill up your reservoir and let the passion of what you never wanted to put off, decides when it wants to come back. patience.

Had the saddest client today. She hired me to deep clean her house and I went in and the place was spotless. She greeted me, then said she was going to the gym.
Her house didn't look like a home. All of her furniture was new and from ikea, there was no color or personal touches, and the six pieces of art were all generic stuff that was brand new and untouched. There were two photos in the entire apartment, one from when she graduated college, and one that was a baby photo of her and another baby where the frame said "sisters." The only other touch was her work badge hanging from a key holder. The only thing in her trash was an empty glass bottle of vodka and an empty bottle of diet coke.
So I dusted and cleaned everything, and when she came back she was really pleased. I asked if she had just moved in, and she said no, she has lived there for five years. I prodded to see if maybe she had another house and this was her work house, but she mentioned this was the only place she'd lived since graduating college.
It was just lonely. Like someone had moved into one of those houses that are only show houses to advertise furniture, but then they never moved or touched anything. I hope she's doing okay mentally.

>>2277156Real talk, I think there are subtleties and nuance to racism that most Americans overlook. Because my American grandma really looks down on Polish people and tried to dissuade my cousin from marrying a girl who's parents were Polish. And she has some strong thoughts about the Irish, yet Polish, Irish, and us are all white.
Yet her neighbor friend has an Irish mother, so my grandma excuses it by saying that she's one of the good ones. So I think that we're just prone to hate groups by the actions of the majority of the group, yet fully capable of seeing people we know as fully realized individuals.

>Does it feel good to have such an ability?If you don't take yourself seriously, is the best thing in the world. You'll be scrolling, think, I want to draw a moth enjoying a birthday party, and then you do a little sketch and get to look at it with pride. Plus, it's a hilarious party trick and it makes kids think you're magic.
But if you take it seriously and think, I have to get the shading on this face right or else I'm a worthless failure, then it makes you sad and that's sad. Because hobbies should be fun.

So I own a little house (680 sq ft) and it's a cute little cape cod. And currently, the previous owner decorated it in a very cottage way (simple white cupboards, chicken and vine wallpaper, yellow carpet) which is cute and I like, but every door is the original wood with the brass art deco style knobs and locks from the 1920s. And this makes me want to start changing the house's style to art deco. Do you think it would be stupid to style such a tiny cape cod like that? Do you think I should just leave it cottage style and encourage that decor?

>>2313851Ntayrt but sometimes there's nothing really to "fix." The woman I was friends with for 9+ years and I just slowly drifted apart. She made her choices in life and I made mine, and so we just started walking in different directions. Sometimes we still talk, maybe a few hours every year, but at the zenith of our friendship we were communicating almost 12 hours a day. In hindsight, I think that type of relationship is really only possible in your late teens and early 20s. Nothing can stay the same forever. We have different lives, different passions, different ideas; we both grew so much during our friendship and learned so much about ourselves that in the end, we weren't even really the same two people anymore. I still think of her as a friend, I think I always will, but I know that trying to force something that isn't there won't work out in our favour.
Losing a best friend can be a really sad experience, but it taught me a lot about myself. Namely, I shouldn't even
have a best friend. Now that we aren't a part of each others' lives anymore, I have a lot of different really great friendships with people that would have been impossible to forge had I been so preoccupied with only one person. For me, I don't wanna be in that situation again where I rely on only one person for every social need, I want to have a group of different interesting people that I can hang out with and learn something new from.

Seeing other anons relate doesn't make me feel better, kind of makes me feel worse. Because it doesn't make sense. There's so many people in the world so how is it that I can't find another connection like the one I had with her? Are close friendships really that rare? If so that's insanely disheartening to me.
>>2313851She actually sent me a friend request recently so I messaged her but she's been ignoring that message for whatever reason, even though she's been online. I'm sick of feeling like I'm chasing after her. I don't want to freak her out by sending another message or whatever.

I’ve got an interview tomorrow for a job that seems basically like my most ideal position. Really hope I get it and that it doesn’t turn out to be a dumpster fire. Fingers crossed

>>2315578Here's from an article, it explains why people join them better than I could
>A sorority is an organization on a college campus whose purpose is to foster friendship and community, among other things. There are chapters of Greek life spread around universities in both the U.S. and Canada>Each sorority has its own goals, rules, and expectations, but they’re generally similar across all Greek life. Membership to a sorority is gained if you can prove you have the qualities that fit with their specific requirements. The qualities they typically look for are usually based on things like your personality, your academic achievements, community participation, and campus activity.>Many new college students seek to join a sorority since it provides a sense of community and gives space for students to form bonds and friendships. Greek life is also associated with a certain type of lifestyle, which can help students feel like they fit in somewhere or help them integrate into campus life.>Greek life also provides an invaluable network that members have access to their whole lives. Sorority sisters are often encouraged to help one another, especially when it comes to their careers. This networking opportunity can help open a lot of doors to graduating students.>Additionally, sororities also set a high standard for academic achievement and behavior, which means members are held accountable for their performance and actions.

>>2315578Basically, you're paying and (at the beginning) humiliating yourself in order to get into an exclusive club where you'll have access to befriend people who are much richer and more connected than you. Once befriended, you can then call upon them for small favors throughout your life, especially if you continue to send each other Christmas cards throughout the years. The other month, I wanted to visit a city I'd never been to, so I messaged my sorority sister and she let me crash on her couch for four days instead of me having to spring for a hotel, and we hadn't spoken in over a decade, and I hadn't seen her since college.
How much of a ritual you have to go through in order to enter depends not only on which one you're joining, but the individual campus and location. So mine was pretty chill, we had to get drunk with our sisters and then serve the senior sisters brunch the next morning while we pretended to not be super hung over.
There's a couple other things you have to do in your first week, but one, bad bad hazing never really seemed to be a huge part of sororities (though I have heard of some people who went to prison and got their sorority shut down because they took the hazing too far, but that's make the news rare), and two, hazing has mellowed extremely in the past thirty years. Colleges have a very very strict no hazing policy now, so much so that some colleges ban my sorority's traditional scavenger hunt. My roommate joined a different sorority and her hazing was not being allowed to wear makeup for one week and she had to wear a shirt that said something like "I'm joining "sorority" and it's my first week!", but even that has since been banned because it's considered too harsh of hazing.
Then, once they let you pledge, you have do a little cult ritual where you dress up and there's candles and spookiness but it's just all play pretend because it's tradition. One girl took it way too seriously and cried afterwards because she was so happy she got in, but the rest of us were like, "Lol, that's gay, let's go to Denny's." and that was that.

I have ADHD and can't be anywhere near normal without adderall, but I hate the nightmares it causes. Anyone else have issues with their adderall?
