TL;DR it’s no cause for concern for now. Core is changing speed and direction in cycles.

i’ll save this comment to look back on it when it’s actually time. this all sounds so well-thought-out. i’m really humbled by your thoughtful advice

thanks! I wasn’t sure what to expect when asking this. i feel very old and i’m happy that nobody made fun of me but you’re providing help to me in a kind and generous way! have a good one

thanks for your comment. windows is on a ssd, but i’d like a second one to load some stuff faster. my stuff was bought and configured 10+ years ago so my SSD is 128gb

great points. thanks! would you know a price point i should have in mind for a mobo? i am not playing the latest and greatest games and not rendering videos, would like upgradability especially with ram.

i guess I would. my CPU is as old as the MoBo. its a I7 4770K (which came out in 2013 RIP), i think that proves i made a great investment back then for my PC to still run great after 10+ years Oo…

yeah. fuck toxic masculinity. Hold strong brothers. be weak, be vulnerable, be soft, be the man you want to be.

This. I bought solid colour socks in many colours and always wear unmatched socks on purpose:)

Es wird definitiv eine "antisemitische Protestwelle" geben, wenn jede Kritik am israelischen Staat und Militär als Antisemitismus bezeichnet wird. Ist natürlich auch eine einfache Lösung um mit Kritik umzugehen…

Second this. This might be the most important exercise! You'll feel weird and like you're lying to yourself. Just say it.

Welp… I’m old

Hey. My hair was pretty long and very nice. Here’s my number one tip: don’t use anything. Normal shampoo, don’t wash too often. No blow-dry, no hard brushes or combs, use soft brushes. The receding hairline is just genetics. Yeah hats and ponytails make it a little faster, but everyone’s hairline will recede.

For getting the hair out of the way, I also used bandanas sometimes.

Nur kurz: wenn du nicht für deine Vorteile bleibst, dann bleib für die anderen. Gewerkschaft heißt auch Solidarität. Die Gewerkschaft braucht auch dich, nicht nur umgekehrt.

Es gibt genug Gründe da zu bleiben für dich, aber wenn dich keiner davon überzeugt, dann bleib aus Solidarität mit allen Menschen in anderen sozialen Berufen drin, oder um dich mit ihnen aktiv zu vernetzen.

The other issue is, just because the lab tested for high amounts of a vitamin does not mean that you will get those vitamins into your body. Most vitamins need a combination to actually get absorbed by your body or to not have an adverse effect. (Vitamin C needs iron, B vitamins often benefit from K, …) So, sometimes a food item with “low levels” of the vitamin will actually give your body more of it that something that just has vitams B crammed into it without anything to help your body digest it.

hm. lets quickly downvote this because it’s not what you want to hear

You know what really scared me when I was in those shoes? The realisation that I didn’t really “want” to get better. The miserable state I was in had gotten “comfortable” for me. Change is scary, es when changing from a bad place towards improvement.

Worrying isn’t getting you anywhere either, so here’s a destructive thought: what if you do cope? What if you do make changes for the better?

That’s 100% understandable. I don’t really “get” bars. So I don’t go. I don’t know what to do there. If I want to go out at night, I go to clubs, but they have some of the same issues with drunk people. Aside from that, I have hobbies to share with like-minded people. For example I go to an open couple dancing (Forró) event as often as I can.

No I totally understand. It wasn’t meant as the best solution. Just a suggestion. I’m not a fan of bars myself tbh

Have you considered going to a bar and drinking whatever you want?

It might be one of the most frustrating aspects for me honestly. I feel like a shitty friend/partner because I literally forget almost everything. Somebody might tell me something and 2mins later I have no idea. Sometimes I “feel” the memory somewhere in my head but can’t grasp it. Sometimes I really feel the empty space where it should be.
