This is a genuine question I've wondered about a lot. Kudos for oddly realistic originality.

Goodwill stores, at least where i live, are good for people in shaky situations. More accepting of people with special needs, circumstances. Mention cuz, not the type of work you're looking for... for me, been out of work so long (8 years), me getting a p/t job at goodwill, committing, proving i can keep it, it's the only way better paying jobs will take me seriously.

Would like the 75k per year tech job I had b4 becoming homeless. But have to be realistic, start small.

Currently rewatching Voyager. Love the dynamics between seven, tuvok and the doctor. Tsunkatse is on right now. Eagerly anticipating the episode when icheb shows up.

Borderline schizoaffective, psychotic features. Constantly questioning sanity. Reality often surreal. Dbt, cbt has helped the most. If I practice mindfulness, grounding exercises daily.... when mind spirals, reality starts to explode, easier to come back, keeps me tethered.

Tho, once as kid, when I became convinced I might be a disembodied brain floating in a jar, started to seriously freak out. Came home in terrorized panic, flipping madly thru my bookshelf, and reading "summa theologica" finally made the panic stop.

Sometimes, when I've researched something and compiled a ton of useful information about a topic... wish there was a lemmy for that. Kind of the opposite of asklemmy.

Kyle XY. I'm still pissed off at the abrupt cliffhanger ending.

The OA and Sense8... Netflix, you suck. Those were stunning shows.

I tried to open a bank account at a credit union while homeless. Had $42k on my direct express card, finally on SSI, lump sum was for the previous year while unable to work.

No debts, never used a credit card. Couldn't open a bank account. Had to go thru a program that assigned me a fake credit card debt that I had to pay off for 6 months to get my credit score high enough.

Credit scores are a scam.

I stare at the wall reciting pi over and over, while my body withers, mind untethered, consumed by a mathematical void.

Baba Brinkman does rap music about science, evolution.

Dunno why, but your comment reminded of this:

I like it. Just wish niche communities were more active.

Well, if we're in a simulation, then any assumptions we have about definitions, limitations, they may not apply. So, we think storage needs ram, but outside our restricted simulation, it could be far different.

Like, I frequently ponder how did something come from nothing. But I know I'm making assumptions when I ask that question. It may not be linear, may not be either or, there's something crucial im not seeing.
