mh; therapy; memes 

My therapist is up to date to memes. I spent half a session discussing ‘This is fine’ as pertains to my personal context. This is both great and terrifying, lawl.

Uni cap, capitalism crap 

@Kyresti @Oneironott And even on top of all of that frantic anxiety; what a lot of them fail to realize is that so much of the actual knowledge accrual comes out ‘in the real world’ and through constant self study anyways.

I did a bachelor’s degree myself; I work in tech; and I learned more through home-lab studying and at work than I really ever did in school.

stress; job stuff; life changes 

Also unable to sleep lately between the stress of closing stuff out at my current job and starting another one on Monday. Gotta plan out the bus commute and change my sleep schedule and close out all my big projects and get shit in order and and and and skziwmdjgisoskemekrk -flails madly-

@starkatt I just can’t ever read it in Nixon’s voice. It’s always FDR’s in my head.

Listened to the D-Day prayer one too many times I guess, lol.

@starkatt Oh man I remember my giant pancake rockets. They were so much fun.

Honestly I think KSP lost a lot of its charm as it became more realistic. It was for doing Really Derpy Shit to me.

sea local concert solicitation (caravan palace) 

@tastymochafox I’ll be there o/

needles, blood 

Ow fuuuuuuuuuck nicked a vein this morning and bled all over the place. Motherfucker hurts -grumbles-.

Really ought to learn how to do glute injections rather than thigh at some point.

HIV prevention PSA (tldr you can get PrEP for FREE) 

if your reason for not being on PrEP (the pre-exposure prophylactic medicine that almost entirely prevents HIV from taking root in your body) is that it's too expensive, you should be aware that you are entitled to receive it 100% FREE OF COST to you via Gilead's "Advancing Access" program. Not only that, it's so easy to sign up I literally did it in line at the pharmacy when they told me I'd have to pay $3k for my script pickup.

There is no reason for you to pay ANY MONEY for PrEP.

job stuff 

And done. That’s way more nerve-wracking than one might think it is, fucking hell.

job stuff 

Haaaaaaaah have to put in my two weeks why does this have to be so nerve wracking.

mh(?) 

Envy is an insidious little feeling, digging in and twisting deep; even when you know it shouldn’t. It can be a great tool if you employ it right; but... god sometimes it just sucks, meh.

@zetasyanthis The Platinums aren’t really needed for a 2-socket system though; they’re more designed for 4 or 8 sockets.

@zetasyanthis Yeah a quick check on an r740 with a twin Xeon Gold 6240 and 256gb ram is about $13k; with a single drive for the hypervisor.

Moving up to Xeon Platinums bumps the price up -hard- tho, as does adding extra storage.

@zetasyanthis Also makes a pretty big difference between a 6XX/7XX/8XX series too.

@zetasyanthis yeah, if it’s from a VAR they can bump it up a bit. Never really liked VARs for hardware purchases like that myself.

@zetasyanthis I mean, define ‘non-outrageous specs’ if that’s what they’re quoting you? If it’s direct from Dell they won’t differ too much from online pricing.

@zetasyanthis for a mid line one? $10-15k or so for Dell, last time I specced one.

bad mh day, meds 

@Draekos That sounds about like where I was on Fluoxetine. Everything was dampened - my lows weren’t quite as low but my highs were shaved down too and everything just felt all flat and sensationless without any emotional range attached.

I juggled a few more before finally slipping off of SSRIs entirely; been more focusing on mindfulness therapy.
