    It’s clear from the posting over past few weeks that many of us have a lot of concerns about the coming months/years. There’s a pretty high likelihood that some are feeling the immediate impacts of civil rights abuses, job cuts, etc. This board has always been good at helping our own. So, if you do need help — whether it be financial, advice, goods, services, job references, whatever — this is the thread.

    If you’re not comfortable sharing publicly, PM me and I’ll try to coordinate anonymously.

    EDIT: I’m going to put the real help requests/offers in the OP to clean this up:

    anybody need a data analyst?

    Jax Teller is looking.

    The board's progression from anonymous posts in the confessions thread to this is the clearest sign to me that we've all grown up.

    I don't want to see a single post about anyone sucking the fuck out of anything.

    remember: you can save money by cancelling all your entertainment subscriptions and just pirate any TV show or movie you wanna watch. there's a whole piracy subreddit with easy guides on how to get it set up. Once you have it downloaded, there's a variety of options to enable you to stream to your TV or other smart device.

    I did need help. I’ve gotten a lot of it.

    You are here doing what I’m describing. Making my journey about you.

    In my opinion, it’s because you are as empathic as in am, but are as blinded as I was too.

    If you want to help me, DM me your number and we can talk for real.

    Thanks man. Yes, I’m better than I’ve been since 2016 came.

    Part of this was setting out to learn a musical instrument in my 40s. Through that journey, I learned you can never truly learn what you’re doing on a song until you understand the other instruments and what their role is in your own experience playing the song. And your role in theirs too. That includes all their mistakes and shortcomings too, as well as yours.

    I’m still on that journey, and being able to hear the other parts of the music better is giving me better control on my own music. I’m now improvising better and it’s been very much fun.

    I don’t think I would have even seen what I do now without that journey as well.

    COVIDiskilingme79 , I’m replying here since they banned me from the other thread.

    Lyrtch, I don’t need to go back into that thread so you can ban me permanently. It’s not important for me anymore.

    Nothing else to say about the phenomenon I’m describing anyway. I can’t help anyone directly with it until they’re open to the possibility and explore for it themselves anyways.

    The frustration you are feeling, and the need you have to ban me is your own Cognitive Dissonance. I was being the most non-confrontational anyone on the board has been in a while. You just don’t want to hear what I’m saying, and that’s ok.


    Bo Pelinis, yes I already had the break. I talked about it on this board before, but didn’t understand it. I’m understanding it much better now. Framing it as “psychotic” is hugely mis characterizing of it and exacerbates to the Nth degree this “thing” I’m trying but ultimately failing to explain. Because my experience through and out of it is not the same as anyone else’s. Because it was about me.

    The changes have been with everyone’s emotions, not your personal politics or moral compass, or those of anyone else.

    electronic It does not lower egg prices at all.

    Throwing eggs price digs in anyone’s face will exacerbate this “thing” for you, the people on the other end of the dig, and anyone watching it happen. Over time it has built a psychological block in us all. I can’t explain that fully, only that I grounded this stuff into personal experience and emotions through this whole ordeal since he came on the scene. That’s what helped me out of it.

    The way I was able to grind anyone else was for each of us to talk about our experiences in a deep way, together, controlling the emotional aspect as best we could.

    And yeah, that shits hard to do.

    Didn't get the tag. A psychotic break is a specific definition. It's not a putdown. Didn't know you'd discussed it here before. Please look into help now for it again for real. Hope you're well going forward friend.
