My computer is connected to two routers simultaneously at the moment and I'm fucking shocked that it worked out like that. Beyond expectations. Confession: I don't understand what's going on here since I have practically no understanding of networking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalRen Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Confession: I occasionally get horny when looking at figurines which are meant to be sexualized. This generally leads me to believe that I am in dire need of the purchase, however I end up providing myself self-pleasure in order to calm myself down and prevent that from happening. Confession #2: I watch the Gurren Lagann giga drill break scene (the first one) every few months to remind myself to never give up on anything in life. I still, to this day, get shivers down my spine from that scene. It is absolutely beautiful. Potential spoilers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverLi Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 When you notice you got serious issues with your Internet. Apparently my IP address is in a city 200 miles away and I got 80% packet loss. Incompetent fools which activated my Internet subscription?

Valmore Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Confession: And I managed to avoid getting picked again!

Kenshin_sama Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Confession: After talking about the problems I had in the Army during group therapy, some people started telling me that I have PTSD. My mom and brother thought I had it too for some time also, but I just couldn't bring myself to believe it till now. I didn't want to think I was in it that deep. But on the plus side, this could mean I'd qualify for 100% disability instead of the 50% I'm currently getting. Hopefully that comes out well enough.

But with the therapy I've been getting, it's becoming a lot easier to deal with my stress than it was when I first left the service. I appreciate the encouragement though. It really does mean a lot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you might not have it, but having other people who aren't trained psychologists say it is really unreliable. I guess if you are going to try for 100% disability you would probably have to get it officially diagnosed anyway. Like you said, either way its a positive(?), and if you do have it, you could at least get treatment. Kenshin_sama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, either way its a positive(?), and if you do have it, you could at least get treatment. Yeah, that's part of the reason I didn't buy it at first. In fact, I'm still not entirely sure I have it, but that might explain why I've been having issues with depression for over 5 years, and why I'm so anxious about getting a job. When I was enlisted, my self-esteem was virtually null. I sucked at my job, my supervisor and squad leader hated me, my co-workers didn't want to talk to me, one guy with PTSD screamed at me, and almost every day at work was miserable because everybody around me was usually in a bad mood (including sergeants). It was kinda like that for my training too, except there were more people I got along with at the time and a somewhat better atmosphere (even in boot camp, lol). Towards the end of my enlistment, I could not go a day without panicking, and I wanted to kill myself. I had thought about jumping out of a window from a 3rd story of a building or banging my head on a sharp corner of a desk until I died. If I had been carrying a gun at the time, I probably wouldn't be here right now. But see, it's kinda weird. I never actually tried to acknowledge this as a problem until I started talking about it in my group therapy. I thought the reason I was so scared to get a job anymore was because of general anxiety. And who knows, maybe it is. I don't get the same flashbacks that the others in my group diagnosed with PTSD do, but the thought of getting a job does scare the hell out of me. Well, whatever the case may be, I'll know more once I get a proper diagnosis. Cyrillej1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always good for their concern and it's certainly a possibility, but it's definitely something a professional needs to diagnose. There are so many kinds of depression out there, and they all suck. I should know, I've been working on mine for years now. Best of luck!

Fred the Barber Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 So, in the ongoing "Fred quit his job and is interviewing" saga: Confession: I got my first rejection today Confession 2: But I got my first offer last week I just finished my third full-day interview today (so I'm absolutely exhausted), and my last full-day interview is Friday, so I'll probably hear back from both of those mid or late next week. I have no idea why I started up four of these in parallel - interviewing is vastly more taxing than just working... hopefully I won't do this again for a long time.

Abyssal Monkey Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I posted it in the Fire Emblem thread, but I wanna post it here, because why not. Confession: regarding the new fire emblem game, fates, this sums up my experience really nicely: 私は見た,落ちた,買った。 Confession 2: I'm somewhat proud that I made that parody with japanese that I actually know. Sad that I can't actually read it due to the font being so damn small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchytaco Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Confession: I'm likely to still recommend you all not to get married, after disappearing from here for over half a year. I moved back from Hawaii after one month of staying there. We never had the chance to explore how our lives would have been there. I had to return to California to sign papers for the family business, and in the process revealed to my parents my relationship and the existence of their lovely grand daughter. My wife and I haven't talked in 2 days, and we're likely to get separated. Zodai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmore Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Ironically, the one friend I had who was into this sort of thing was back in college and I wasn't into it then.
