Found Kukum in English translation, I'm picking it up
Thanks for the book recs!

Oof, @mfg, that desk picture is like, a personal callout. But yeah, +1 for "stuff management." I wonder if it's coming up for everyone because JnG mentioned it and people went, shit, me too, or whether that's one of the things that naturally comes up for yall higher WLs as you keep ascendi...

achievement focus, I don’t know how to work through it without working through it, ...I don’t know how to approach transcending that focus without, uh, climbing to the next rung of the ladder. :? It's also absolutely possible to get yourself physcially to a place and then go, alright, what are the ...

I read through page 2 of this saga and -- Frita, this marriage is over. Wtf does it matter if you're divorced or not if the marriage is over??? An intuition I had, which I offer in case it's helpful (and which, like everything else I write, you should disregard if it isn't -- what I wrote below came...

Nothing fancy, but I guess it still belongs here: found mint by the side of the road. Had fresh mint tea. Quite enjoyable.

I mean. "So, what seems to be forefront on your mind right now's boring, let's talk about what -I- want to talk about" -- what did you expect???

To me w NVDA the risk isn't NVDA it's the emergence of successful competition, and there's certainly motivation enough to achieve that.

One of the best afterlife goals I've read of. I hope you get your dreams @Henry Also, words cannot describe how deeply I disagree with "we should all pray that the parents manage to stay together until the children finish high school," but I'll leave it to someone else to rant about that o...

Why should there be a middle ground? Imo do the thought experiment and let the chips fall where they may. Fwiw, I don't think there is a double standard with mental/emotional conditions and physical illness. An adult partner is responsible for taking care of themselves physically to the best of thei...

Yeah dude sounds depressed af. Not on you to undepress him, though, one im not sure that's possible, and two im not sure from what you said that that's what he wants. You say you don't believe in divorce, but I get the sense that even though a part of you is holding on, a part of you is ready to let...

it would feel pretty weird to be siphoning off my from my elders I get it that the suggestion overall might not be so workable in your situation, but in case you implement it or something similar, you might want to reframe it from "siphoning off" to "a win-win situation where I get b...

Would the family be willing to chip in some money if you stay on as a caregiver? If your grandpa needs it, 50-100 dollars per person will be much much less than you would have to pay an actual caregiver. Im thinking this gives you 200 pw to eat, gets them off your back, and gets you the time you wan...

It's good that you're thinking about what you want from the time off, tho. Giving yourself the space to reconnect with yourself is good.

Congratulations! You're now ready to begin de-insitutionalizing yourself. You've quit working, you've mopped up some projects you had left over around the house, and you've got to the stage where you're discovering that there is, in fact, no teacher or boss telling you what to do. So what do you do?...

Thanks for bumping this thread. I've reduced my sugar consumption significantly in the last week and the result has been, I'm having, of all things, sugar withdrawal headaches. Electrolyte tablets have helped. Just putting this here for general reference haha

Nice, you guys sound like a really solid team. Rooting for you!

I'm guessing the first steps would very much depend on what one already does re: health

What a wonderful, peaceful place.

Observing is good, if only to see where the water tends to go and so forth

And of world war two soldiers, for some reason -- who are on pictures raising or taking down or whatever the flag over berlin with 6 watches from dead bodies on their arms

what needs you think a romantic relationship meets? I may be a tad ace-ier than the norm so a close friendship would do it for me, too, but imo a romantic relationship is often about the hope that "maybe this time, finally..." I think most people are hiding from themselves what they're tr...
