Thanks for providing your view! I had only read the mostly negative reviews on job sites when I was thinking of applying around 2015ish.

From what I’ve read WOTC has been a bad employer for a long time.

“The operation, which took months to plan, was carried out by the SBU and took months to plan.” Published by the very human Sasha definitely human indeed.

I think it’s something you should think critically about since you moved in with him 2 years ago (16?) you aren’t a fully cooked human yet at that age.

Who gives a shit

How many hotdogs are they going to try to eat for the guiness world record?

I want cheap planeswalkers like these to work but I find that if they don’t do anything to protect themselves when they come out or something significant like removal (ie Liliana) they aren’t competitive enough.

You probably need to take a break from the internet, for your own health and safety.

I hate headlines like this. There are like 3 million people living in Silicon Valley. How many of these billionaire investors want this to be a reality? 10?

If it works and you are doing it in a healthy manner then that’s all that counts! I did it for years to help get me through the day but it is expensive and takes a toll on your body. Sometimes you have to take those little deserts to break free though.

Sometimes that’s all we can do! Speaking of cheese, I hate that one of my distractions is food haha

Great advice. And thanks! Feeling pretty good for the most part but it is interesting how the news or something in my social circle can destabilize me. You have some good advice in how to limit those triggers.

Love it haha

Trying to maintain stability and finding myself at a very meh level. Politics is crazy, taxes are looming, but thankfully I have a great network. Something has been nagging at me quite a bit though and I’m still noodling over it: what’s the point of it all? I made the decision to not have kids years ago and seeing all my friends have kids makes me feel that my path has less meaning than theirs. Just trying to understand my own path in life.

I’ll say to you the same bit of wisdom that I try to give myself: life is a complex series of mishaps and accidents so don’t be too hard on yourself :)

Why yikes? If you have someone there in your apartment to verify that this stuff is happening, then you can recruit them as an ally to help convince your parents or the landlord that it’s happening.

I would second this but not specifically the CO issue. Anything you do to “check the facts” would help out a lot. I would recommend finding someone you can trust to try to verify what you are going through. There are all sorts of things that might create magical thinking or delusions. Gathering evidence on your own might even play into that magical thinking if it is the case. If you get someone else that you trust to experience it first hand, then that would be the best way to validate your experiences.

Whatever it is, it sounds like an incredibly frustrating situation. I hope you find resolution to it.

You work with seamen eh?
