I’m saying if you don’t have a way to get self worth from yourself then you will be stuck dependent on your partner, and they will not always be able to provide that. It’s a skill that you need to be in a functional relationship.

Allow me to paint a picture:

In your heart, you’ve got a little cup full of love. Sounds like yours is running on fumes.

Your hope is that someone else will fill this cup for you. But I’m saying you need to learn to fill it yourself first. Why?

Because love isn’t a free refill station—it’s an exchange. We trade sips from one another’s heart cups. Some people need a big sip. Some barely need any at all. Must be nice… 😒

So if you meet someone with a big, full cup, ready to share—what do you have to give them? If you don’t know how to refill your own, that love becomes a finite resource. Your partner pours into you, but you have nothing to pour back. And eventually, that drains them. It doesn’t lead to happiness—it leads to burnout, imbalance, and a slow spiral back to despair.

This is why you need a source from within. Not because love doesn’t exist. But because the best love is shared, not depended on.

No. You can learn to love yourself when you’re depressed. The two are not mutually exclusive.

There’s nuance to the idea that you need to love yourself before loving someone else.

At its core, it means this: Nobody is responsible for your happiness but you.

When someone lacks self-love and enters a relationship, they often rely on their partner as their source of self-worth. This isn’t just unfair—it’s unsustainable and often leads to heartbreak.

To put it another way, you need to fill your own cup. You can’t walk around empty, expecting someone else to keep pouring into you indefinitely. That’s not their job, and trying to take it on is exhausting, leading to burnout and relationship failure.

The truth is, you have to learn how to be happy alone. A relationship isn’t about making each other happy; it’s about supporting and loving one another in a way that fosters self-love, allowing both people to grow into their fullest potential.

What’re you rich?

Eating McDonald’s for 3 meals a day every day would be between $5k and $15k per year.

Cash.

So, that would represent about $10k-$30k of your pre-taxed Income

Thousands of exhibits showing how sundials work, or how any other non-clock time-keeping mechanisms work, would immediately reveal something is amiss.

The number of people that would set their microwave timer for 1 minute at that exact moment and see that it finished and see that it was 2 minutes later would be significant.

The number of text conversations where people send half sentences constantly, time logs.

Any chatrooms chat logs. Just all suddenly missing a minute. During heated debates.

There are so many non-clock related instances of time tracking that exist within rigid time frames, globally…

Youd have dozens of social media posts showing the same anomaly. At the same time.

I give it ~3-4 hours before it is trending globally, maximum.

I want to get off Mr bones wild ride.

The evil you know is often better than the evil you don’t know.

Patient transporter seems great. What’s a bad day like? All jobs have bad days.

Will you be crushed by an obese immobile incontinent elderly man as he empties his bowels onto your helpless wriggling body? Is that worth the downtime?

Option B sounds obvious. Is it too good to be true?

Waitll you find out about uptown and downtown.

If you’ll be running Linux and trying to use steam to run games, at all, avoid the 14th gen is.

If not, the 14th gen i9 is your bet.

Something with Proton, the layer that makes steam work with Linux, has been causing tons of people a lot of grief myself included. Any games that rely heavily on vulkan shaders will cause my whole system to crash under heavy load. It’s a known thing and Intel still seems clueless as to what to do to resolve it, afaik.

That’s a supportive parent doing their best to understand something they seem to nearly realize they’ve been brainwashed to have a knee jerk reaction to.

If that ain’t love… 😊

I’m sure things aren’t perfect, but this person respects you.

My answer isn’t gonna resonate. It’s so frustrating how being depressed makes getting off the couch to go for a walk just feel like… Jumping into a mosh pit ot something.

Find a 2 mile walk to do every day. Must include at least one hill or set of stairs or something. Works best if in nature.

That’s the main flaw??

I humbly disagree.

Are you upset that they drove? Flew? Why is either bad here?

I don’t understand what you’re upset about.

When everyone sucks but you, it’s almost ALWAYS you that sucks.

This one’s clear as day.

Who the fuck said they aren’t?

You?

Fuck outta here.

I just decided I’ll never buy a jeep.

These kinds of decisions are unilateral. You don’t go in this direction without that being the overarching goal.

Zero tolerance for this shit. Put ads in something I own, and I’ll sell it, trash it, never buy it again.

This should be a death rattle for any brand to even consider.

Fuck Jeep.

Auth portal for VPN tunnell -> Authelia -> fail2ban -> VLAN with services only.

ELK stack monitors the LAN. (Including VLAN)

Keep that VLAN segmented. You’re good unless you’re a DOGE employee, then I’d recommend quite a bit more security.

130 lbs???

Beer belly?

Are you like 5’3"? Otherwise… What???

Stuff like that is usually some change made to catch bots.
