stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My home wireless N network didn't have sufficient bandwidth to play back my HD screener of Gravity without slight stuttering on the framerate from my MBP to my Apple TV

If we're talking about the same thing... I saw that movie in 3D when it came out and it was absolutely fantastic!

also wow it doesn't get much more fwp than that. Unless you were complaining about running out of windshield washer fluid in your ferrari or something lol.

house filled with network cables here. Just use the wireless for tablets and phones.

I think I'm getting dumber.

Definitely can relate to this. I used to use big words and speak more eloquently, but politics and philosophical and/or religious debate are a headache for me anymore.

I just read the datura thread and am now on datura by osmosis!!

Ass sweat.

I went to the gym for the first time in a month to get back on track, and by the end of it all it looked like i had crapped my sweatpants.

Maybe some of that is the added few pound ive put on, but goddamn I wonder what people think of me when they see me leaving.

It's not ass sweat, it's effort juice. It's ass sweat.

But good on you for getting back to the gym. The gym should be more about working out and getting ridiculously sweaty. If anything, you should be looking at the goofs that are there and ARENT all sweaty.

The gym is there for a workout!

Absolutely agree!

Contemplating breaking up with girlfriend if she can't learn to stop blaming me for her problems/ taking problems out on me.

It's a shitty feeling, but I really gotta do what I have to do.

Yeah, you can't reward that shit. I assume you've talked to her about it?

Yeah, and at this point, it's on her. I've come to the point where I have told her 'I cannot love you FOR you, you have to love yourself first and foremost'

I'm a pretty stable person and I feel lately that it's starting to effect me as a person how much insecurities I have to reinforce/convince otherwise with her. It's all about her lately, and if she's not happy, I'm either being an ass by not consoling, or becoming depressed with taking on someone elses' problems.

Not that it's my business, but it kinda sounds like a codependent relationship at this point. I'd say it's ultimately her job to find happiness, and it's not your sole responsibility to make her happy. She's gotta learn to pull her own weight. If you gotta abandon a sinking ship, then by all means do so.

It's really tough being with someone with a shitty self-image. You tell them they're wonderful and they don't trust you. I'm kind of like that right now actually but I try not to be an ass about it. My girlfriend is incredibly rational and patient.

If she's not willing to commit to get better then I think you've tried your best. Good luck sir.

It's a gym, so you can rest assured that at least one creepy guy masturbated in the locker room thinking about your musky ass moisture.

yeah sweating in a gym, who'd have thought it. It's when you sit down for a meal in a restaurant and when you're done eating, on getting up to leave you note that there's an obvious moist patch from unescaped humidity where you were sitting, that you can feel that dignity has truly abandoned you.

I should go back to sleep so that i can wake up in time to go the supermarket, but instead i'm watching nature docos. "uu look at the dolphins, "oh they're an odd animal pairing. (actually the second one hasn't come down yet, not enough seeds/too many peers, fwp

Good points. What I've noticed is that as long as she ( both of you) are willing to be in a (sincere) dialogue about it, a relationship is possible. Even if the behavior doesn't change immediately. Change is hard. Reflection and a respect for eachothers reality is key, imo.

I've tried the relationship thing with a girl who basically had accepted not being able to talk about her feelings and that stuff was just devastating. Especially because I liked and cared for her very much. But every time something was wrong (still dont know), she hid herself under some proverbial rock and even a basic form of dialogue was impossible. ...which made me worrying even more, and trying harder to establish some kind of connection. ..which had the opposite result.

For her it was probably more about not knowing how to deal with all her emotions, but to me, my gut feeling about her not communicating was that she wasnt interested. I mean, that's the usual response, right? If she isnt interested, there's not going to be much communication. So, with that, it also became a trust issue from my side. That shit just didnt work. No matter how hard i tried. No communication is no intimacy. And no relationship.

i had to eat my cereal with a teaspoon this morning as there were no regular spoons available at work.

on the plus side it kind of made me feel like a giant.

ugh accounting exam in 3hrs

This has been the last two weeks of my life:

quit my job (which was stable and the pay was okay) because i got offered another job that pays double of what i was doing (and on the promise that this is long term blah blah blah)

i worked on the new job for two weeks (weekly paycheck was of 700 dollars!!!!)

on Friday the manager of the new job tells me that he wont be able to give me work because he needs someone with a license (which i dont have), then he hires someone to replace me (someone who i was training for the last two day lol!!!)

now im jobless, stressed out and i had to do the most humiliating thing i've ever done .. ask for my old job back.

the future is so fucking uncertain right now that i cant every fucking enjoy anything

Sorry to hear that, Deer.

It seems like the higher-paying jobs are also less stable and less certain. My paychecks provide me just enough scratch to get by most of the time, but on the same token I've been able to hold my job for over seven years.

Anyway, hope you're able to start raking in cash again soon, even if it is from your old job.
