Struggle Thread mk II - No one likes us, we don't care

[Mr. Gundam]

I was all set to have my consultation with the surgeon today, but I got a call this morning saying he was called into an emergent case and would likely be in surgery all day today. Now my wife and I are meeting with him on Thursday afternoon.

I wish we could've met today so we can devise our plan of action and get it on the calendar (will likely be a week or two or more from now), but I'm sure the person he's helping today needs their help way more than I do. I'm stable AND I remember when I showed up in the ER not knowing what was wrong with me a couple years ago.

In happier heart related news, my wife conspired with my dad and my best friends into taking me on a surprise Light Rail beer crawl on Saturday. That was awesome and super thoughtful.

Fingers crossed here.

How are you all still on the internet?  Don't the tubes freeze the gigawatts at some point?

They have to get the Internet delievered on small cargo planes into the frozen north. It's very expensive though, one benji shitpost might cost you $3.50.

Benji offers supreme value though, can really warm yourself up with his various neuroses

[Mr Gilhaney]

Went in to get a stent removed. They fucked me up real bad this time, and now I probably need to get surgery to implement a drain, after fucking up some guts, and me throwing up blood and barely being able to move after I got home.

I'm pissed.

[brawndolicious]

Don't drive the car until they get fixed! Also using the handbrake like that might score the rear rotors/glaze the rear pads so have those checked.

If they don't work at all then it sounds like the issue is in the brake lines or master cylinder. Sucks but at least the point of failure is pretty isolated. It is possible that whoever replaced the brakes left a bleed valve slightly open.

Understandable.

[Ghoul]

He’s trying to get gains, even if it causes others pain.

I just feel shit at the moment long work hours, weekend work and no real me time, plus I haven’t been paid since the 20th of December, that on top of just not feeling into what I’m doing since the break and the fact the job I wanted, got to final round then not being picked for it just sucks, just need to get into feb and then things at least for being paid and having some freedom as projects end should be good, but one of the things I’m doing has now been extended for quite a while sooo basically crunch remains. Get me to snowboarding break end of March, which luckily I had pre approved before the changes in project dates happened should do me some good, unless those management pricks decide that they’ll pay off my break to keep me at work. We shall bloody see.

[Freyj]

Dunno what it is but the further I get from my 20s the less capacity my broke has for change. I needed a job change and made a good one but I’m immediately hamster-wheel-brain-ing thoughts of going back to the old job. Fuck anxiety.

Speaking of struggle, this post reminds me of one of the biggest professional Ls I've witnessed in my life. During my phone jockey days we were having an issue with poor connectivity on the main site. We're all sitting around discussing what the issue could be while the network guys were on it and my team lead says something to the effect of "ah, must be because it's cold outside" in passing. We all turn to him and ask us to explain what the fuck he's talking about. He tells us that because it's cold (about 35 degrees) that the internet must "need some time to warm up". We all bust out laughing at him, like howling and hollering. He begins to cry and leaves the room. To this day whenever my service is out I think to myself that ISP staff really need to get out there and warm up that infrastructure with some gloves.

esch lore  dat outsourced punjabi customer support 

[Madrun Badrun]

I can watch grandma porn all I want and there is nothing any of you can do about it  BWAHAHAHA

[TVC15]

Other struggles from that place:

- Finding out that stormfront was allowed in the mailspam filter with an explicit rule
- Getting told by an angry customer that they hope my first born child should die
- A forensics adventure involving bestiality and a sextape
- Getting told by an employee that they could watch grandma porn on their work host and there was nothing I could do about it
- Having a coworker show another co-worker pictures of him in bondage gear with the hopes of attracting him
- Coworker faking a work injury then testing positive for heroin and getting fired

I stopped posting on the bore during this period because I spent all my free time studying trying to get out. We made it

Can I ask you to please expand on this one here? Feel free to use Wikipedia for anatomical references so the important details are clear in your story.

Were you addicted to drugs when you were banging the hood girls? Tales of illicit chemsex with dirty women go over well here, too.

[TVC15]

Did you really think dumpster sex with hill people was any less depraved than drug addiction? Where were you deriving your sense of dignity and self-worth from during this period? It sounds like a trying time to have gone through. I’m sorry about that.

[TEEEPO]

i can't say i've ever been with a trump supporter though racist democrats and apathetic whities, yea, plenty. i've been a novel fuck for plenty

[TVC15]

Do you still live in this awful place?

[TVC15]

So did you earn any good fetishes out of this experience? Can you only get it up for people that you find repulsive maybe?

[team filler]

White trash wanna be loved, too. And so many of them are willing to get together with us brown bois

this wasn't so surprising. what surprised me were the white girls who told me I was the only guy they fuck with that isn't black    I remember one particularly "you're the only white guy I've dated and you're not even white"    we both knew we weren't dating    they were all    in bed and now I have a thing for black only white girls   

[team filler]

I wouldn't have gave a shit about some bitch dad dying 

[team filler]

eschaton origin story keeps getting better 

[TVC15]

Just good old BDSM. If anything  I lost fetishes.  I had a terrible experience at one point where I fucked a girl I knew from college and in the middle of it she started doing daddy daughter  incest play on me. My boner died instantly because I remembered that she told me she saw her dad die in a tragic accident right next to her. Ruined hentai for me for years

Dude dude DUDE. I have a feeling there are more stories right here. This part feels juicy. I’ve done medicine therapy before, and this feels like one of those areas where the therapist would have me take a hero dose of mdma 45 minutes before talking about it. It’s going to be deep.

[TVC15]

I’m talking about the chick! You kept her around, right? She had to be really interesting. I already want to listen to This Mortal Coil with her.

I first saw you.
You had on blue jeans.
Your eyes couldn't hide anything.
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space.
I next saw you, you was at a party.
Thought you was a queen, oh so flirty.
I came against.
Didn't say excuse.
You knew what I was doing,
We looked very fine 'cause we were leaving.
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
Oh I want you, Oh I want you... like a kangaroo...

Nope. We don't talk anymore and that's for the best. We just can't get along or trust each other. I thought she was interesting,  we had chemistry  etc but I think I was just idealizing her. I realized I found a lot of things about her really intolerable. She awkwardly likes every picture I post with my gf.

A lot of things? By my count being into necro-incest is only one character quirk. What else wasn’t up to your standards?

[TEEEPO]

it's a damn struggle trying not to shed tears while listening to this mortal coil atm. the first two records were there for me during some dark times but the most heart breaking part is gordon sharpe just refused to do anything with her talent outside of save the first few cindytalk records and obviously, this mortal coil, which is kinda shitty thing to say but fuck, dat voice. she should've been a star :'(

i've been literally told by a girl who was trying to fuck me that "you're so hot but you're a terrorist" when i was sporting an awesome beard if i must say so myself. she was legit confused and unfortunately, crazy hot

[TEEEPO]

though dunking on white people 

[OnlyRegret]

I grew up awkward, parents who were very sheltering, and so I tragically can't offer much about the whites.
Some ethnic enclave corners around here and not a white to be spotted

Every brown bois parents are sheltering.  You're supposed to be like my big brother and pass out on the couch in a puddle of your own piss when your fearless white friends drop you home after 13 beers.

One small step for man.....

we'd need to start our own thread for how pathetically sheltered our lives were. unfortunately, some of us never fully recover

[OnlyRegret]

Unfortunately, I'm a real goody two-shoes for the most part.

[TVC15]

Thanks for the candid stories, Esch!

[TEEEPO]

my parents were weird as fuck the second i turned 18. my dad threw a boxs of condoms at me and then found a stash of drugs in my room and told me to just be responsible and do this shit at home and not with my degenerate friends. before that, it was absolute hell. i couldn't leave the house and if i managed to hang out with my friends, they'd call my phone every 30 minutes to check in and make sure i wasn't doing any drugs and yea, white people would just say turn off your phone but had i done that, i'm not sure i'd be able to cycle today, let alone walk.

at least they had no idea what r-rated meant so i was able to watch all the good shit at a young age

[OnlyRegret]

For real though, it is tempting to complain about things but there are some real upsides.
Not just family, but extended family are quite fond of me so I have a literal grapevines of relatives. I can crash for free at the houses of relatives across the globe in at least 6 countries and they'd love to have me there.

I can't imagine being a white and not even knowing all your dads siblings and their families for example.

[OnlyRegret]

I really related to Esch's travails and I feel like this is a bonafide archetype because I know so many people like this: brown/Asian guy gets stuck in a lily white conservative place and wants to get out. Gets involved with mostly white trash girls (turns out the haute bourgeois are generally more racist than their lower class counterparts). One hot and heavy romance because you're filling some other void in your life. In the end you figure out that white girls are wrong for you because they have a different lived experience and you end up dating your own race like your parents always told you to.

Their ethnonationalism is unreal but funny 

[OnlyRegret]

Oh, there are bad apples in every bunch. With the number of relatives around there are bound to be people that rub you the wrong way, I definitely haven't gotten along with everyone.
But yeah, variable.

well at least the love on my dad's side of the family...

When things are bad you can count on literal dozens of people you are related to tangentially to care and help even if you weren't exactly close and chummy.

[TEEEPO]

my grandma's funeral had some former shah four-star general give a long ass speech where i found out my grandma was potentially going to become one of the first democratically elected females in iran for the senate or someshit, let alone was one of the heads of the postal service which was already unheard for a female. i didn't know any of this since i was disowned at a young age for being my father's son, but it explains how fucking snobbish that entire side of my family is. fuck anyone who had photos of the shah in their homes, and just for prosperity, fuck the mullahs as well

[OnlyRegret]

To continue expanding on the flavours of brown present.
My family is Punjabi.

[Kara]

To provide a contrast to the surveillance parental state stories, when I was a teenager I got into a car crash that 100% was not my fault. I called my mom because I was obv. a bit shook up (it was a car crash) and she sighed very loudly and said, "I don't need this right now."

[BIONIC]

Wow, all this self-doxxing. Delicious 

I’d share some of my own brown family stories, but I’d rather still be able to run for office. You understand
