/feels/ - Advice & Venting

Sugar and sweets are one of the hardest addictions to break. It is a slow-acting poison that makes connections in the brain’s reward center, usually from childhood. I suggest trying to eat whole fruit

Honestly I didn't drop sugar until one day I drank a bit too much sweet drinks. Straight up made me feel the worst I've ever fucking felt for a week.
I can't consume too much sweet stuff ever since. I tried a milkshake and a cake piece yesterday and it still made me feel super shitty…

But seriously though, OP, maybe you just need to eat different things like the other Nona said. You're not overweight, and if you're on the lighter side, maybe you're not getting enough carbs, protein or fiber from elsewhere?
On the list of other potential reasons: too much stress, not enough sleep, not drinking enough water, etc…

Had to quit sugar myself because I got too close to diabetes. It was hard at first but eventually your brain rewires itself.

It is due to blood sugar.

• blood sugar goes up
• insulin goes up
• sugar goes down
• sugar goes below normal
• you feel bad and need more sugar

It might be related to mental illness too, as your brain gets more energy during a sugar high it alleviates it, so soon sugar becomes your crutch. You don't necessarily have to eat sugar to cause this either, starchy foods can have the same effect.

The solution is to manage what you eat so your blood sugar is above normal but not too high. In short, eat beans. Beans have a low glycemic index meaning they release sugars into the blood gradually. There are other foods with low glycemic index but none are more convenient and abundant than beans. Beans can be friends.

This also alleviates sugar cravings, because you don't go into panic mode, though it takes a measure of willpower to wean yourself off sugar.

try to eat vegetables instead, like something crunchy. Carrots or green stick things, apples in slices or pears even. Eat fruits BEFORE 4pm and drink a lot of water nona.

18 is way too young to give up. You could be hot by 20. Getting fun workout clothes and and personalized water bottle can make exercise easier (mentally). Meeting friends who are fitter than you can be a cheat code too since you get to parasite off of their experience as you give them an ego boost.
Your cravings might be crossfiring in your brain. When you feel a craving, try chugging some water first and see if it goes away. If you still want the thing, less of it will probably satisfy after the water.

You'll be ok, focus on weight loss until you hit your goal

Where do you live? I live in Europe, and there are private doctors here who describe not-Ozempic here if you have a somewhat medically justifiable
reason.
Losing weight is important, if you live your life overweight, then by your mid 30s your body will be a wreck.

No offense, buy you're super obese. You need to lose weight NOW. You're way past the 'I don't wanna, I'm not comfortable with asking my doctor'. Besides your doctor is there to help you. Results matter more than niceness at this point

probably not the healthiest advice, but pic rel is your friend. Over the counter in american pharmacy's and the watered down ephedrine kills your appetite, also helps with focus. You do have to scan your id at the pharmacy's counter to get it, it's so they make sure you're not stockpiling enoungh to cook meth, 1 box every 6 days is the limit in america. This helped me move on from a 30 year old 5'6" 300lb+ hamplanet to a now sub 200lb chubby woman that still has crippling issues with her body image thanks to a lifetime of being fat. Also please try to eat real food , you need more than processed meats and cheese.

Abandon worldly life, get a cat, join a monastery maybe.

Listen I was banged in the butt when I was 6 years old by my cousin. I didn't even clock that what he did was wrong until I was well into my late teens and had a memory flashback. It's not something I tell the world about. My spouse knows. My mother knows and when I told her about it she freaked the fuck out and told me to shut my mouth and stop lying even though it was pretty crystal what happened. Do I count it as "part of me"? No. It was something that was done to me by an evil little retard. He knows I remember because at a family gathering he made the mistake of approaching me whilst I was propping up the bar alone and asked me if I wanted another drink. I said "Yeah no. I remember what you did." He knew exactly what I was talking about. The guilt and fear was scrawled over his little rat face. I said "You might have been a kid too but you were way older than me… Tell me why I shouldn't go and pick up that karaoke mike and tell everyone. Seeing you get your skull caved in might liven things up."

He stuttered and spluttered out "I'm sorry. We were kids. I didn't know." The creepy little bastard was twice my age when he did that. I told him "You were old enough to know better. I want you to know that every time I see your dad I think about telling him. You know what he'd do if he knew. You'd be eating through a straw for the rest of your life."

Again, the spineless bastard just stood there not knowing what to say. The fear was making his pupils shake. I watched him and waited for his response. Really I was looking for an excuse to get up and really fuck up that 80th birthday party, but sadly I couldn't bring myself to do it. Grandpa only turns 80 once and the shock might've killed him. I settled for "I'm going to finish my drink about then sing a song. Lets see if you're man enough to stick around until the end."

I haven't seen him in 20 years. Weirdest part is that he's gay. I guess he didn't know it back then which is why he went for the butt hole instead.

So that's my story kiddo. Don't let it have power over you. You can't change the past but you can weaponize it and it does provide some solace.

I have the opposite problem! I never wanted a husband or kids, but back at college all the men REALLY wanted me as their girlfriend!!!! They all LOVED my pikachu hoodie.

damn, maybe one of them could have saved you out of your predicament, so to speak?

>>123715
I like your mindset. Would you expand on your personal story with your moid?

People are dying nonas. Getting married and giving a moid babies does nothing but benefit him. You all need to get this through your heads.

I've tried typing this out a few times now and it's far too long. Is there anything in particular that you're interested in?

>very attainable low 6 digit salary rolling through!
yes women do this job aswell

Idgaf im learning how to code from scratch though i dont want a corporate job

truck companies with dangerous goods like to hire women because they are less risky drivers

>>124149
I drove trucks and can second this, It's great money if you're okay being alone most of the time and putting in effort to eat proper food that isn't from the truck stop. I fought hard to resist all the ready made delicious slop kwiktrip/Loves/FlyingJ had to offer, if you don't you'll look like a greasy man after a year.

>>124262
Forgot to mention stay away from armored trucking, that whole industry is a shitshow and you will be misreble from the horrible working conditions if you go into it.

>>124239
What's so awful about it?

>>124238
idk if these people truly will ever be capable to live as normal if they have gone as far as to take multiple lives, not even one.

there are many instances where law enforcement failed to take action on people who exhibited criminal and violent behavior, which led to bigger, worse crimes

>>124241
Plenty of people live "as normal" after having killed people. Consider people who have fought in wars, or even the people who participate in trials in which people are sentenced to death. Plenty of murderers have continued to live normal lawful lives after having not been caught. Systemic and institutional murder is significant as well.
There's nothing out of the ordinary suggesting that this guy will commit similar or worse "crimes" in the future. If you're truly worried about inaction against people who may commit bigger, worse crimes, you should turn your attention to protected classes who commit some of the worst crimes in society who remain unpunished.

>>124242
>protected classes who commit some of the worst crimes in society who remain unpunished
like murder? I agree, it should be punished, because getting off easy after ruining someone's life isn't a good look.

>>124241
Glad we can at least agree on something.
That said, I don't think I would consider murder a form of life-ruination. Both can be bad, but they are not the same thing. Of course, they are also not mutually exclusive.
In general, life-ruination is perhaps one of the biggest crimes, imo. I think people should strive to reduce suffering in the world.

Making laptops thin and lightweight brought us here. An extreme example is the 2015 macbook that one that introduced rose color scheme and in a later iteration the butterfly switch keyboard that was btfo by mere dust. Corporations hid their ill intentions you mentioned under the guise of thinness and people fell for it. Think about the thin smartphones that were bent because people had them in their pockets and sat on them

>>123684
>under the guise of thinness and people fell for it

yeah. the manufacturers act like they are innocent and were merely trying to reduce the size and weight of the load the poor students had to carry in their backpack. that's not all they were doing.

i love how my old laptop battery type does not use pouch cells and instead has the round 18650 typical battery shape. i have seen so many pictures of pouch cells being swollen.

You asked lmao
Why are you so angry?

Are you guys unaware that you don't represent the majority of consumers? Normies want "big screen" and "thin computer" and nothing else. They will just buy whatever gives them the most social points.

Framework is neat, but at the end of the day, it's just more gimmicky consumer-junk designed to be a fashion statement. They're just appealing to "tinkerers", because they realized that people LARPing as computer nerds are an unexploited market. For example, their desktop line is an absolute joke.

There's more to "repairability" than just being able to take it apart and buy parts (albeit that is a big hurdle for some products). Framework laptops are "repairable" but at the cost of a greatly overpriced ecosystem (For the cost of one of their laptops you could've bought multiple old thinkpads, for example) and there's more to repair-ability than just being able to take it apart and having the company sell you spare display hinges. The build quality is supposedly pretty mediocre, especially for the price. You're also fucked for spare parts when the company inevitably keels over because their volume is shit compared to something like IBM or Lenovo which shit out millions of thinkpads for enterprise use which can all be cannibalized for parts and the Chinese factories keep making off-brand spare parts because they have a ton of tooling and leftover stock with loads of demand for parts from nerds with thinkpads. That said, for what it's worth, framework is certainly doing better than something like ARA/Phonebloks.

I realize that a lot of the "right to repair" shit has people dogpiling against modern consumer electronics which are difficult or impossible to open up with firmware that refuses to accept new parts, but the solution to that isn't a violent reaction in the other direction, but to reform product demand. People love to shit on manufacturers because they think "the consumer" is people like them (individuals, home users, etc.) but the real force behind the "thinner and lightweight" trend is enterprise users. It is the "big companies" at fault, but it's not the manufacturer; it's the procurement bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I’m not reading this all

>>122991
nona why are you being so hostile to everyone ITT

>>123682
i dont wanna reveal my age or when exactly my life turned to shit for privacy reasons (ive posted abt this situation elsewhere in a simmilar fashion and dont want for people to connect the dots) but ive been living like this for more than 5 years at this point. im functionally a highschool dropout btw, and by that i mean that on paper ive complwted all the neecssary years of schooling but that is only because the school felt pity for my parents having a mentally ill child, i havent attended most of high and middle school and they still gave me a diploma. idk why im mentioning this, it just felt like an important detail that contextualizes how pathetic my life is

>>123667
update ive unpeeled the gray shit from the floor. it came off in one huge piece and had a reallly weird waxy consitnecy. ive thought abt taking a picture of it and posting it here but this website is like dead and rotting + no one gives a fuck i fear. shoudl i use this thread as a diary? im rlly bored and lonely

>>123716
this is the first step nona! whatever that was probably wasn't too good for you lol
but,,,,,,, i would like to see The Rot

>>123718
Sorry Ive arleady threw away the big one that was under my table. Theres a simmilar kind of rot in the corner of my room tho. Picrel. I think its a mix of accumulated dirt and mold

I'm totally worthless. Morbidly obese, unemployed, no college degree…nothing. I'm living off the good graces of others but I know this will end soon. I don't have any family that supports me. Once I can't live where I currently am, I'll kill myself. There is no future for me.

I'm not a tech wizz by any means but it kinda sounds like it could be faulty components and you should try testing to see if your pc will work without a video card or with a different psu etc

^
Try taking out your OS and running through the components one at a time until you get to BIOS. Start with the RAM. That sounds like it would be the culprit. Take one out and try booting, if the problem persists try the other one. If that doesn't fix the problem start replacing components one at a time until you get some signs of life. I doubt it has anything to do with the CPU, those things are super durable. Just my process, you're on linux so you almost definitely know more about these things than I do.
Good luck and please give updates!

>>124183
I tried to boot into the bios in all sorts of ways but it didn't do anything. I tried swapping out the drives too, same thing.

Additionally I scanned the whole system for malware but didn't find any. I ended up wiping the Linux drive just in case.

I fixed it! I ended up reseating the ram and fixing the Linux system and it works like new now!
