    Dealing with mental health and anger during 2020

    there's a lot that is simply outside of your control, I'd gradually swap out the drinking for yoga and light cardio, maybe some jogging, then focus on the bigger stuff like Can I cope with this job? but if you're goin to the ER for hypertension, filling up on booze is only gonna keep hurting...

    Hitching during lockdowns

    @Bushpig was saying he had plenty of luck pretty recently. I reckon with the lockdowns gradually calming down, things will normalize rapidly enough. Yeah maybe it's that people see how gorgeous you are and think "eh, too good to be true" Try to rub a bunch of mustard on the front of a white...

    I'm feeing overwhelmed

    sounds like you need to get rid of some stuff, and really get rid of it, don't "put it in storage" or "leave it with a friend" with intention of ever seeing it again. you gotta make a change, you can't just keep "rearranging" as you pointed out you've already been doing. get rid of stuff that...

    Intro/Looking for Advice

    well it sounds like the main factor is that you've got the family thing goin for you, and you wanna spend time with them while possible why is it your stay is due to end in a month? who is the 'family' that you are staying with? what are other housing options in your area, if spending time with...

    My journey to every county in the US

    that's a nice goal. when I lived in the PNW i hit I think 90% of the counties in Oregon/Washington. it's inherently a pretentious idea, but you'll wind up with better results I think than the "seeing every state" or "100 countries" or some other more normie shit.

    Hipsters on trains

    yeah i have to admit i've been on both sides of this, #1 being insensitive, testing to see if someone would think something is funny, since I'm not opposed to dark-humor to say the least - then they get offended or hurt, it's made me feel pretty bad, except I've also made friends this way...

    Hi there, I hope we'll meet

    on one hand you feel compelled to stay with your brother, but on the other you have a penchant for knowing more of the outside world, evidenced by your interest in outsiders, and your ability to be into cheap food and such will help make your stay wandering much more feasible. You're only young...

    Hope you're all hanging in there

    yeah man, well i speak from experience, and already feel like i wasted enough time - plus i don't believe pride has any utility, that it's pretty much an extension of what we call mental illness - so why not be straightforward right? anyway, everyone will arrive at their own conclusions, you...

    Hope you're all hanging in there

    nice, welcome to the forum i personally think most people who are thinking on these topics have a tendency to overthink both mental illness and spirituality - again, *most* people I think the late 20s are just a particularly tough time, shit just is what it is, "spirituality" is just energy...

    you definitely want to wait until you are 18 to roam, it just makes things less complicated. so what to do with your semi-comfortable situation? Preparation of some kind will aid you in the long run, what are you going to have to offer? how are you going to contribute in any given situation...

    tattoosi need some ideas

    second this, I recall a couple people asking me what I'd think of a potential tattoo, and my response was "If you have to ask, don't get it". including simple shit like "Live Free" on their knuckles. like for real, why the hell you gotta ask me? Aside from that I've got around 130 hours worth...

    How Has Government Lock-Down Affected Your Travel?

    one more thing, and i don't wanna throw this as an edit into the previous post, it's a separate issue that I think people especially those of us who use planes should be aware of: A few days ago I read some of the new plans for domestic flights here in Colombia regarding this "new normal"...

    Was i reading way too much into it? Or were you being way too vague?

So for you "Kyle and Karen"...

    The modern american liberal

    so how is it that this entire Kyle and Karen demographic show obvious biased hate against a group of people? Is that not what you're showing by alluding to this "Kyle and Karen" group in this sequence? Maybe it'd be out of line to assume 'obvious biased hate' is your intention here, maybe...
