Random Rants : Someone is wrong on the Internet

[bhavv]

I felt like doing a cutty cutty but I don't. I do no longer self harm.

Though I never did with knives before, I used to self harm around age 17-21.

I called up the other disability employment service called Remploy and had a chat about this, and they said they do have work placements of under 16 hours available and booked me appointment, but its all the way on 13th July.

I've already looked all over job agencies for a desk job, cant even find 16 hours never mind less than that.

The government is a , why even have a disability employment agency ran by the government that only offers work over what is allowed with benefits? I asked them if they have had anyone else before seeking employment on top of ESA and they said that everyone they've had have gone into 30 hours + work.

I cant do that many hours, Id be dead from exhaustion as happened to me when I last tried to do 36 hours before I knew there was stuff wrong with me.

Oh right wait, I didn't take my venlafaxine today ... Gotta wait till dinner time now. I've already spoken to my GP for depression and am on second line medication for it. The issue is the frikking NHS and its waiting list, I've been waiting since Feb 2014 and I have no idea wth is going on. My GP referred me again this year, as did a mental health specialist at the same clinic, and the NHS just wont send me any letters. I'll give the NHS a ring tomorrow too.

I never self harmed - unless you count punching walls that is.

Self control is a good idea and shows strength of character.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Thats a good idea. (giving the NHS a ring that is)

yer having a disability employment agency ran by the government that breaks the conditions of disability employment is stupid and wrong.

...

I thinks its good that you are talking about this and getting it out of your system.

Killing yourself is probably not a fun activity.

You could try other methods of getting rid of stress

Getting a punch bag, (great for fitness and working out pent up feeling) or playing a computer game and imagining that the enemy is people that have annoyed you!

 

[Arakhor]

Up to 16 hours is the cut-off for JSA and the point at which you can get tax credits. If you work 16+ hours a week, then you can apply for Disabled Person's Tax Credits. Of course, how little of that remains after the Tories have murdered it later in the year remains to be seen.

 

[bhavv]

I believe I play the wrong games for stress relief ....

THAT WAS MY WHEAT!!!!



Oh well ...

New York has The Parthenon so I should get a culture flip.

 

[Triewd]

It probably does not matter because you will ether culture flip them as you said or if necessary you can just take them militarily.

but yes Civ 4 is quite stressful.

I do have a recommendation: scout more. your mini map does not reveal much.

 

[bhavv]

Didn't need to scout as I'm replaying the map.

Got a perfect start, and friendly Ragnar as a neighbor for a meatshield.

The resurface of the Gamergate thread has yet again reminded me of how annoying I was 7 months ago. Goddamnit.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

The heat is intolerable. The only way I'll be able to fall asleep tonight is if I open several windows and prop the doors open, but sweat + draft = really nasty cold.
And it's not about to get better. We're looking at a 40°C weekend. WTH ?

 

[Arakhor]

We had the hottest day in the UK for nine years this week. We don't do sustained heat!

 

[bhavv]

Its official. I need to move to Greenland, not Leeds or even Norway.

 

[Arakhor]

Svalbard would be fine - it never gets about 10 C, even at this time of year.

[Takhisis]

The "joke" is that Bulgaria was done by 1396, hence making what Takhisis wanted me to do impossible without mods.

Ssshhhh! Don't explain the joke.

And he has a rifle in case the bears get too touchy-feely.

Help! I'm being pursued by an 87 year old woman with sex on the brain!

I kid you not! The situation is rapidly getting perilous. For me, that is.

Now, my tastes are as eclectic as the next man's, but 87? C'mon. What can I do?

And at exactly what point should I play the old impotence card?

Never. That excuse amounts to "willing but limited" and suggests you would be open to providing alternative means to satisfy her...which I imagine you would rather avoid.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Oh man. Well, you're still human at that age of course. Hopefully she isn't the Overly Attached Girlfriend type.

 

[Takhisis]

A lecherous grandma? Tell her that you're not ready for grandkids yet so you simply can't.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Hmm, so you're telling me that if I'm dressed as an elderly British gentleman I'll be able to pick up more girls?

Worth a try I guess

 

[Takhisis]

Well, it works for James Bond.

As part of my ongoing guest to turn myself into a healthy person, I've been experimenting with different types of smoothies. Recommendation: don't mix the flavour of apple and melons, unless you're trying to induce vomiting.
