I recommend drugs:
- ✓ Cheap compared to other hobbies like travel or gambling or having a family
- ✓ Meet new real and not so real friends
- ✓ Can make your suffering aka life shorter
Sceintific cookies Butter: Grind about 1-2g of active ingredient Heat oven (non convection) to 118c (245f), use baking tray & parchment paper to bake 30-40 min, stirring every 15 min or so to bake evenly, remove and cool. Prep rice cooke to “keep warm” mode Empty the water, add butter & prepared active ingredients Heat for 2.5hrs Check every 20 min or so to make sure it doesn’t go above 93c (200f) Cool NOTE weigh butter before adding to recipe, as there may be some water loss during heating-just top up with regular butter/margerine 36 60g cookies 395 g brown sugar 225 g granulated sugar 25 g vanilla sugar 350 g Veg margarine or butter 25 g oil 59 ml water 0 pinch salt mixer #2 speed cream together about 5 minutes 900 g ap flour 3 1/2 g baking soda 20 g baking powder combine dry ingredients add slowly to mixer 150 g chopped chocolate (vegan) combine to mix bake 60g scoop 200C for 7 minutes SCIENCE!
Work all week, too tired to do something fun. Corporate profits unreasonably high and now I can’t afford to engage in activities. Individualistic, nuclear family, isolation because communes reduce profits. Breathing poisoned air, drinking contaminated water, eating trash, refined food. Lost in a maze of suburbs, battling long transit times, alone in a sea of cars. Everyone’s left for jobs, or busy working jobs, no time to meet new people.
What is, like, the point?
Do we sit in his emotional wasteland, producing for an other, alone and without the energy to do anything but work until we get sick and can’t afford healthcare / are told by doctors the elderly are not their priority as they’re no longer productive?
Get some damn hobbies! Does she just sit in a chair with a blank face while listening to podcasts? Auditory media is meant to supplement another activity no wonder shes so damm bored
That is a very odd take on auditory media, from my perspective. Do you not focus on music or podcasts you listen to? Are you always doing something else?
Doing other things at the same time helps me focus on whatever I’m listening to.
I fidget a lot so it would be distracting to sit still and just listen.
“Bored” pisses me off. There’s too much to do, to learn, to experience to be fucking bored. I mean, unless you’re stuck at work or some shit.
There may be too much to be bored, but there’s just the right amount and more to be habitually depressed!
Well, boredom is not depression.
Speaking from experience depression has the power to render everything you used to find passion and joy in utterly unenjoyable. It sucks, and you get bored, and then you feel bad that you are bored and not doing the things you are supposed to enjoy. Have some empathy for those of us struggling :)
OK. You are talking about depression. I am talking about boredom. They are not the same thing, though one may be symptomatic of the other. If you think your boredom is a result of depression, I suggest you seek help somewhere that’s not an online forum.
Actually that’s a pretty major and common symptom of depression.
Which, again, doesn’t mean they are the same thing.
There is but all of it takes MONEY!! and TIME!!!. And i don’t have enough alcohol around me to not be bored. Best I can do is video games(I’m lucky to have a laptop).
gaming is great (I usually play an hour or 2 a day) but break it up a bit. maybe do an online micro credential, you can normally find free short courses. learn a language (easy to do for free if you have internet and some time). learn a new skill. learn design so you can put the laptop to work. and every now and then, when gaming burns you out, learning is too much and you literally have no chance to do anything else, sit under a tree for a little bit. yes, even at night. it’ll help
I have ADHD, my time is fucked once I get into gaming.
If you have a laptop that can play video games, there is so much else you can do. Not that there’s anything wrong with video games. Video games are awesome.
I can, learned to use Linux. Learning python now. But I was talking about real world things like camping, and going on trips, watching snowfall(I’ve never seen snowfall), going to the beach or the zoo. You can only spend so much time in the virtual world, but the real world takes money and time.
I am bored and I have plenty to do, the bigger selection makes it impossible to choose and then I do not choose.
In the words of Neil Peart, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
Work on making a better one.
Good job Neil, you cured depression with one easy fix!
I don’t think anyone, particularly Neil were he still with us, would suggest that his observation is supposed to be a cure for depression.
Imagine having access to the Internet and say you are bored.
