Great, that date I had the Friday before last looks like it’s gonna turn into at least a short term relationship, very possibly a long term one. Kinda terrified but excited at the same time since it’s my first ever, but it looks like I’m in good hands with this girl when it comes to her guiding me intitially.
Another date update, I’m going out with her a second time tomorrow for some drinks at a cafe and looking around a CEX. Looking forward to it a lot again, can’t wait to kiss her again, I feel so childish when it comes to this stuff despite almost being 21.
Well my week is now going shit, girl I was dating told me she isn’t interested in me romantically, we can still be friends maybe if I can get over her, but fuck it hurts so much for something so little.
i got sick again so the financial update and also this thread are late. i’ll get the financial update up at a later point, or i might just combine it with january since there’s not that much to report as far as i can tell
I’m still reeling from the date I had yesterday, still can’t believe it went so well. A lotta first times all at once, first date, first kiss, first time touching a woman sexually, first time going out with someone to a pub, etc. And the most unbeliveable thing of all is that she is almost just as into me as I am her it feels which makes me feel like a vibrating fuzzball.
It has been so far, though I did almost fuck it up by getting too invested too early, thankfully she recognized the signs of that early and after I asked she let me know I was leaning that way a bit in terms of the vibe I was giving off, so I’m trying to put her outta my mind till our next date now. Which kinda sucks to do but I gotta.
I just scheduled my first ever date with a girl for Friday at 1pm! I am super damn excitied and also super damn anxious at the same time. Never done anything like dating before, so this is all new to me. Thankfully the girl I’m meeting is kind and fun so we should have a good time, I legit can’t remember the last time I felt this happy.
EDIT: We’re actually meeting up tomorrow!!! Grabbing a few drinks at a pub after she has an appointment in my area, lucky.
Just got back from my first ever date, holy shit what an experience. She was so cute and lovely, we held hands, hugged, kissed, there was some intimate touch from me to her, naturally all with her explicit consent. I can’t wait to see her again on Friday, so fucking excited and it’s only Monday still…
things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week
My atomoxetine dosage has been increased which seems to be working, up to 75mg now and it seems like I might not be moved to a stimulant after all. But I’m still hoping to get a prescription for a low dose of stimulants for when I need actual focus rather than the current semi-focus atomoxetine gives me. Having to buy my pills from hong kong due to poor supply in the UK though which sucks.
not much to report, however i i have completed my reading goal for the year (35 books) with several months to spare thanks to The Red Corner: The Rise and Fall of Communism in Northeastern Montana
Pretty good, been spending some time playing games and chatting with this cute trans girl I met on reddit and we’ve started exchanging pics and stuff, which is still something I’m not really used to since I spent most of my childhood and all of my teen years depressed and socially isolated. So it’s been a really refreshing experience that’s boosted my self confidence a lot, especially when she called me cute.
Yeah I’m having a similar experierence with it. Though I am thinking I will be moved to methylphenidate sooner rather than later because the UK currently has an INSANE shortage of Atomoxetine for some reason and it is nearly impossible to get for unknown reasons.
@alyaza is MIA currently, but this weekly thread has been so awesome to see and keep going; so I am making what would be her typical post for this week. Alyaza; stay safe friend, I hope everything is okay....
Pretty decent, finally started my ADHD medication so I’m mostly waiting for that to start taking effect, it’ll probably take a good month or so which sucks because I am so fucking tired of waiting but I don’t have much other option.
Shit like this sucks when it starts to catch up with you, because it’s never at a good time. I sent a single blood pressure reading to my GP and they immediately demanded a full week’s worth as I was borderline hypotensive, so I’m also hoping that shit isn’t too fucked up and need to move my ass in more than one way. Just waiting on the energy from my ADHD medication to start to boost so I can actually start to function though which sucks…
Perfect for when civilization collapses and we have to do some wasteland 2 shenannigans to get the lost knowledge of the past back by hoarding laptops.
Was just casually checking out some videos from this voice coach lady… when suddenly I find out she’s trans too! Kinda makes me feel inspired, with progress like that.
I wasn’t meaning to challenge anyone, I simply wanted to put in my understanding of how things work and try and better understand the life of a trans person. So I’m sorry if it came across as that as it was very much not intended, but if it’s transphobic then prove it and ban me for it, because I am not transphobic of all things…
In addition I was looking to maybe be educated rather than yelled at by you. But I guess fuck me for trying to learn right?
The mod isn’t trying to tell you that you’re transphobic - they’re just trying to tell you/give you a nudge that the thing you said is a very, very common transphobic piece of rhetoric.
They could have been a bit clearer and less hostile but I understand why, especially considering how common it otherwise is on the internet.
And so I can be educated, what was exactly wrong with what I said? I never denied that she was a woman in any way but I guess 6 words is probably way too few to get any of what I intended across in my initial comment. And thank you for taking me genuinely and being kind, it really means a lot to me right now.
That’s a very different statement from ‘they are genetically this gender/sex’.
You’re right, and it wasn’t what I intended even though that’s how it came across as. And you’re right that I am assuming things about their life, but given the information I or the rest of us have that’s kind of the only option available to a degree, and then learn from people commenting in reply to me when I attempt to start a discussion. Are assumptions not allowed at all here? If so that should be outlined in the rules clearer. And thank you for the thorough explanation,
A room temperature superconductor would allow 100% efficiency for energy transmission and allow all sorts of technologies like cheap maglev trains using flux pinning for example.
things are in fact going extremely badly but we’ll see if they pick up starting tomorrow night for reasons that will preclude me being here for about a week (seeing my SO)
Doing OKish, runnning very low on my cannabis which is stressing me out a bit thanks to slow delivery times, which is bad because cannabis is what keeps my mental health stable without ADHD medication, which I’m still like a month away from getting.
So I feel insanely restless and can’t focus on shit to save my life, even bought a new game and just can’t sit down and play it for longer than 20 or 30 minutes at the most. Hope things improve for you OP.
Pretty mixed, feel weirdly restless all the time since I dropped my medication at the end of the week before last week. Got a new vape which is keeping me company at least, a nice E-Elev8R ball vape. Kind of terrifying dealing with the red hot glowing metal heating as it gets up to temperature though.
Doing pretty good now, just finally got it confirmed that I have ADHD which is a big relief to know since it means I can be put on medication in the next month or so.
Yep, it took going for a private place for diagnosis since the waiting list for the NHS for mental health anything is so long so it is a big relief. It’ll be even bigger once I’m on meds and can actually function too.
Yeah I wish I got diagnosed when I was a kid, I even had multiple referrals to child mental health services that were all denied due to ‘lack of need’, with the end result being my childhood ruined and me with severe social anxiety and severe depression.
hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see
Eh kinda shitty, one of my main medications (Subutex) dropped dosage again this week and it suddenly felt like I’ve been hit with a brick, emotionally speaking at least, bored as hell, tired, no real desire to eat or do anything, etc. I’m close to being done with this medication but the last parts like getting off it at the very end are the hardest.
Doing OK in general except for the start of this week, no problem with assuming, you’re likely right anyway if you’re thinking about opiate addiction. Cravings suck but are bareable for now at least.
Terraria is gearing up for its 1.4.5 patch, the latest major update in 12 years of continued support from developer Re-Logic. If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wait, I thought this game got its final update” already, you would be right—Re-Logic has been considering moving on to its next project for around eight years...
I’ve been playing it a bunch since the big 1.4.4 patch, it’s crazy how much work the devs have put it to polish this game into a cheap but high quality game gem over the years.

Like that flat earther that made a steam powered rocket (not that high) to try and prove the earth is flat via that (somehow?) Ended up going downwards very fast with nothing stopping him except the solid Earth.
Meta is going for a price run on failure it feels like, I worked for a company bought out by (no names to prevent breaking my NDA) them super publically and then a year or so later firing 90% of the staff and replacing them (for no reason) and leaving a skeleton crew.
And as expected things have just been on a steady decline ever since. The people running the show at Meta have to be off their rocks on coke.
That's the thing though, it's still around and getting marketed by them as one of their major products. So they're beating a dead horse that they shot to death themself really.
