Honestly I'm not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???
The one thing I tried on pizza that was unexpectedly gross to me was broccoli. I actually really enjoy broccoli but on a pizza it made the whole thing taste nasty.
What in the fresh hell???
I only knew of this man. Never stumbled upon his content. It is just sad that so many people share these views because what the actual fuck.
Yes
we're on air
I had this weird "epiphany". It wasn't that I suddenly had self love. It was that I realized that I'm a human being. You're a human being too. We're not fucking robots. We have feelings, flaws, etc. We're fucking electrified meat for Christ sakes! Of course that shit ain't gonna make a lick of sense half the time!!!
I used to berate myself for "knowing better" than to do X, Y, Z. "Knowing better" is absolutely not the same as being some sort of perfect android. It just means we have a higher level of cognition than other animals. But we still are that...animals. Clueless meat suits that are bumbling along in this world pretending that we know what's up. We don't. We have very intense feelings, urges, desires, etc. Because we are living beings.
Use that higher level cognition to strive to be better, but also recognize that your flaws are what makes you human. If you had no flaws, I'd dare say you simply wouldn't be human.
Dunno if that made any sense. But essentially, I made a sort of mantra out of the phrase "you are a human being". I would remind myself for months and months until it stuck for good.
Did I just subscribe to anus facts?
I mean...it's a big thing in a lot of cultures to have multi generational households, no? If you're still trying to make your own way, it's all ok.
I'm sorry to hear that this is happening to you, OP. You can be a nice person without people taking advantage of you.
The first thing is going to be to try to minimize the amount of toxic people in your life. If people are taking advantage of you, they aren't your friend.
The next thing you want to do is be firm and set boundaries. It's not easy, but there are ways that you can try to express your needs. The DBT therapy skill called DEARMAN is a useful tool. Here's a quick overview.
None of this stuff is easy, but I believe in you. You can be nice and still have a nice life.
It's tricky when you thought for years that they were a safe space and then it ends up not so much when push really comes to shove.
I'm confused why people keep bringing up sugar when OP says they drink the sugar-free ones.
The acidity from carbonated drinks is not great for your teeth tho.
Hey all. Just looking for a quick opinion. I have wanted to get one final arm tattoo. Only my forearm and wrist tattoos are visible a majority of the time because I work in short sleeves and pants lol. I want something else visible for me to look at!
Here's a pic of the placement of all of my tattoos (outer ankle tattoo not visible tho):
The tattoo will essentially be three smaller tattoos in a row. Thematically, it fits in with my shoulder tattoo.
Here's a shitty scratch pic kind of trying to showing where I want it. I want to go inner bicep:
As you can see, one of my legs is tattooed. I am planning to slowly build sort of a patchwork leg sleeve over time with any remaining tattoo ideas. This would be the last tattoo to go on my arms. I don't plan on tattooing the other leg.
But the placement I want for this upcoming tattoo combined with the knowledge that I'm done with the arms and only planning to do one leg makes things seem rather unbalanced with shorts. I live in a fairly hot climate wh re it's shorts weather most of the year.
Idk is this too awkward to get or am I overthinking it?
Thanks lol.
I impulse bought an orange gas tank online. One of my many regrets in impulse buying my bike was that I wanted a brighter color lol. I really wanted the bright red, but only found dented ones for a reasonable price. Found this orange one instead and mashed the buy button lol.
Some follow up questions:
-
How do I get last bit of fuel out from the old tank? There is still quite a bit swishing around even after I took off the fuel cap and fuel pump and poured gas directly from the openings. At the moment, it is just turned upside down in a pan hoping the remainder will eventually dry out/evaporate.
-
How can I help prevent the old tank from rusting in storage? I'm not necessarily planning to use it again, but just in case.
-
How the fuck do I get fuel to pour out of this gas can with a "safety spout"? Basically you push on the spout to get it to pour, but it only barely dribbles out that way. The red tab I think needs to be depressed or moved somehow but it won't budge. Any ideas? I just ended up removing the spout and pouring it directly out of the can via funnel
Bonus: Looking for some ideas to temporarily decorate the bike for Halloween! The bike is kept outside tho so it would need to be somewhat weather proof lol.

Hi all. Noob here back again. I got the screws out of the front master cylinder, but I have been having a different problem.
When under higher RPMs, the bike gives off a VERY strong fuel smell. It's still noticeable at lower RPMs, but not as bad. It didn't do this initially when I got it a few months ago, but I didn't ride it much initially.
Bike is a 2017 Honda Rebel 300. Fuel injected. No carb.
I noticed that the gasket to the gas cap was a bit cracked and distorted so I got a new gas cap. Didn't resolve the issue.
There are no visible leaks anywhere that I can tell.
The smell is very strong around the gas cap and engine, not so much the tailpipe. The bike seems to run great otherwise.
Unfortunately, googling seems to show this as a very nonspecific issue, so I'm a bit lost as to where to begin. I'm a huge noob when it comes to mechanical things.
Thanks!
Hello. I'm a new rider who recently purchased a ten year old bike. I have ZERO mechanical know how, but decided that I wanted to learn.
So far I managed to take both the front and rear wheels off to get the tires changed and I managed to change the oil. Since I am unskilled, it took a LOT of fumbling through these to get things going...including breaking some nuts (rear axle nut was stuck and I originally only had a 12 point socket) and bolts (overtorqued an oil filter cover bolt despite using a torque wrench) and buying replacement ones.
Since the bike is 10 years old, I know that all of the fluids need to be changed. I feel comfortable attempting the actual change for the brake fluid from my research EXCEPT I don't want to irreparably damage this area. The front brake works fine, but the sight glass is totally clouded and opaque, so I cannot visually check the condition or level of the fluid.
These are JIS screws and I have purchased replacement screws. Any advice here? Please consider my novice skill level lol.
I bought some screw extractor bits but do not have an impact driver. I have some JIS screwdrivers, a hammer, a regular drill, penetrating oil, and replacement JIS screws.
Thanks!

I got a really close shot of him and just wanted to post lol.

That's great that it works for everyone, but I get annoyed when it is peddled as a cure all.
Most forms of exercise simply magnify my current mood. Feeling good? I'll feel fantastic. Feeling shit? I'll feel even worse.
That's how it works for me, personally. I need an activity that much more intently involves both my body and brain. There are exercise forms that do this, but you have to search for them.
I just get a bit sore about the subject because I went on a journey where I exercised more and more and harder and harder over a span of about 1.5 years. All the while my mental health kept declining...ending up quite severe.
What "fixed" me wasn't continuing to go harder and harder into my exercise mode. For me, I needed intensive therapy and medication combined with trying to fill my schedule more with activities. I'm actually in the best headspace I've ever been now after I stopped fruitlessly and endlessly trying to exercise away the pain.
I'm glad it worked for you. And I think it's worth a shot for many. But for those who keep diving further into it never finding relief, it's time to look elsewhere on what to try next.
