stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I hate writing (reports, applications, whatever). I just can't bring myself to do it most of the time. don't know where to start, don't know how to spool out the mass of ideas/information in my head in an organised way, never happy with how it comes out i.e. whether it's good enough or not. the whole process is utterly torturous to me, like shitting boulders

Ugh, I can relate with this. Luckily my work doesn't involve writing, but essays and stories in college were always painful. Usually got top marks on them, but that's only because I spent 5 times longer than any reasonable person would. I can't even imagine writing a 50 page thesis. That's like several years worth of words for me. My language is muuuusic maaaaaan.

Cavs are deep dicking on Chicago and fucking up my early evening entertainment.

nose, ears and random places all over your face.....welcome to the aging process ;) .....(especially for black-haired whitehs like meself)

Apparently there's like a switch that flips on at a point in your mid-thirties, and from then on much of your life will be devoted to developing an effective nosehair management protocol.

ps: there are gazillions of device to whizz over these cunts, vroom-vroom,,,,,,,,,,,

I tried one that didn't work. I have now ordered the Groom Mate Platinum XL. It has to be good, because it's called "Platinum XL"

Bloody hell the new google maps is complete dog shit.

I have to handwrite two cover letters, ughhhh

Why hand write? Seems like an odd requirement in the 21st Century.

Horrible food poisoning

Isn't that more likely to be a third world problem?

Did you have to go to the emergency room and have IVs hooked up, and did you go sky diving less than 48 hours later?

Otherwise it's not real food poisoning.

i can get close to that

flew a plane once (flying lesson booked by an ex), but on the morning of this thing said-ex refused to get out of bed, slept in late (while yours truly was doing errands) and didnt make any breakfast - "its fiiiiiiine, theres a drive-thru 60secs from here". Ended up her force feeding me maccy-d's and fizzy bubbling diet coke while blasting up I-95 averaging 90mph thinking what if VA/MD state polis revoke my visa from speeding etc etc, while also trying to save this mission from the brink of fail. As we pull into the car-park the burping starts. Its blowing a gale, but all around are reassuring clear pale blue empty january skies, so we jog over to reception. Food burps increasing nowwww, while signing sketchily vague insurance documents & thinking "am i signing away various liabilities here?". And then, b4 you know it, myself, cunta kinty & the pilot are out on the tarmac, inspecting this fragile looking geriatric moth of a frame. By now, the wind is howling thru the cables & fencing round this place and i can see this bloke visibly weighing things up as he talks us through the gear. You'd know that look if you saw it too.... furrowed brow, seemed "distracted", he's scanning around the airfield every other sentence like a flashbackin 'Nam vet. Anyway, we climb into the plane. Earphones on and the pilot monologue starts "shnoo shnee shnoo shnaww frrrrrnn cllllldd ssssss sssssstttt vvvvvvvv", cos all i know is my guts are doing cartwheels to the point where i feel like things are definitely going to projectile or involve something far far worse as my bowels start to spasm. Too late MF, we're buckled up & taxiing down the runway with a mind flooded with hate & nausea and b4 i know we're up up up, sideway this way, then that, the world opening up from altitude and i look across at the pilot and his expression was pure, 150% "overt" concentration. "Shnoo shnah shnee shnoo, frrrrppp, taladaga flagga jagga, thats it you gawt eeeeiiit" .......WTF..........I'VE GOT THE CONTROLS? WHEN? THIS CANT BE HAPPENING, JESUS CHRISTUS..........then the 1st eggy cabbage & sulphur fart leaks out of me and floods the cabin. I can see the pilot filling with disgust and a voice behind me squeaks "thats just wrong hunny...." ..... WOMAN, ITS COS OF YOU THAT,,,,,,,,,,,the whole time we're being metaphorically battered by the swirling forces of nature outside and my ever dissolving stomach.

In a nutshell, i spent the next 50/60mins fighting off wave after wave of hard hard puke cramps, until eventually managing somehow to more quietly than any human has ever done wretch bile and mcdonalds down the inside of my high necked jacket - "you ok there buddy, looking pretty pale?", and i could feel the broken cold sweat clamming all over my skin. Too late, we're all going to die.

Eventually, we get back to the airfield & i head straight for the loo, peel off my coat, scrape off the chunder, get in the cubicle, pull down my kegs and you dont need to know the rest.

Reading about mortgages, first time buying etcetera...and I'm bored out of my mind. The market and buying a place that isn't really yours and so on seems sort of pointless, and tiring. Too much paperwork...

Any alternate living options? I'm tempted to buy a canal boat and live on that. There's a mooring right outside where I work. And I can watch the ducks float past. Heck, if another country is cheap enough I could pack up and move on. Greece?

would exploring the world be an option, like actually pack your bags, leave everything behind and just travel around

Not really, nowhere I really want to go. I'm a homebody, not an explorer by any means. Definitely would prefer somewhere I could move to and stay there in comfort than to shift around endlessly. Maybe if I could find a long term renter instead of buying, but that seems even more pointless.

If Sealand is for sale, then maybe I might go there.

If you are intent on staying put, then don't waste money on rent. You will eventually own the place you buy, and paying your mortgage is much more sensible than spending money on rent.

Just watched several videos of animal cruelty in the food industry, particularly hidden footage of chicken slaughterhouses and mother pigs confined to gestation crates. Won't go into graphic detail though.

But what gets me is how many of these workers inflict unnecessary abuse on these animals, not to mention the filthy, unsanitary conditions. Not sure whether going vegan would make much difference though.

All part of the wider dilemma of this world I reckon - as a rhetorical question, is it better to be blind, ignorant, and happy...or to always be privy to the truth, no matter how horrific? (sorta like Blue Pill vs Red Pill I 'spose)

If people knew how horrific the slaughterhouse was they would be vegetarian, and I find it deeply disrespectful that most are ignorant to what an animal has to go through so they can enjoy dinner. If you know the truth and still eat meat then that's okay, it's more than most do.

No they wouldn't, some would maybe, I'm not. It is conflicting though, eventually I'd like to eat vat grown meat, thats a few decades away at least though (the current stuff is pretty tasteless, and ridiculously expensive).

I've already bought some frozen chicken dinners yesterday though, which I now feel guilty about after watching those clips. But I'm starting to consider meatless sources of protein for down the road, in case I do choose the vegan path. I already know beans and tofu have protein. Nuts and mushrooms do too, I think.

I can't upload a profile image even though I've already paid.
