Almost done with the week!
It's been 5 months, 15 days
Since I took a bath in the mornings.
Since I had to worry about what to wear.
Since I got rejected by men - on tinder, bumble, ola and Uber.
Since I struggled for oxygen amongst the medley of fellow bangalorean fragrances in the metro
Since I had to unnecessarily smile at every vaguely familiar face in office, only to think "I know this guy, who is he?" for the next hour
Since my burgeoning social life shifted from office toilet to house terrace.
Since I expertly navigated the cigarette smoke laden crowd every evening, to yell, "sir erad tea kodi, one normal, one ginger", atleast a dozen times, till the local celebrity obliged.
Since bookmyshow stopped being an app. What is it now?
Since I physically held a restaurant menu card in my hand
Since I yelled - Manel hel bandidya?
Since I saw the sweaty dosa guy in his netted banian, bathed in the hot fumes, wiping his face on his precious shoulder towel, while throwing benne on those delectable pieces of heaven.
Since I said a fake "cheque please" under a false ceiling-ed Indiranagar pub, while drowning my miseries in a fancy ass cocktail.
Since I debated whether 2D or 3D versions of the same shitty movie would be the best bet to stimulate my dead soul to be awake thru the next week.
Since "Will I find parking there?" became a hypothetical science fiction problem, only to be solved for a time far ahead in the future.
Since weekend shopping = grocery shopping.
Since the erstwhile warm & hospitable chikmagalur, Sakleshpur and coorg told us to muchkond stay in Bangalore.
Do I miss these things? Yea, sometimes.
Do I miss these things as much as I thought I would? Maybe not.
Do I like the new way of living? Peaceful, at home, with family? Yes, i appreciate it.
Would I like it if it became the new normal? F**K NO!!
Edit - Thanks to those who gave me the awards, feels nice in this state of hopelessness 😌
Right now I’m a single mom looking for a job in the certification field I was hoping to get employed in before Covid happened. Now I’m largely relying on reselling sales and freelance writing gigs. I sell mostly on eBay but also cross list on list other platforms, mercari poshmark etc and I think I’ve just reached my boiling point. Someone just opened a poshmark case saying a purse wasn’t NWOT because it smelled
A like cigarette smoke.... I DONT EVEN SMOKE. I just try so hard and there’s just so many shitty people that want things for free or if you make one tiny mistake it can ruin your whole livelihood online no matter how transparent you are. None of these marketplaces give a shit either about you and I’ll admit it’s really hard for me to remove my emotions from business. I’m beginning to think I just suck at this but I don’t know what to do while I’m looking for jobs as this is one of my main supplemental incomes. I feel so shitty about myself. Sorry, just try so hard and see so many people being successful don’t know why I’m failing so badly or feel that way.
-edit: thank so much for the comments and the bear hug award. That’s my first award ever and a hug is definitely what I need right now. Its a hard time in my life and I always thought I could do this but I feel so inadequate. I don’t have a lot of IRL support so thank you so much everyone.-
We keep talking about the need to worry about mental health and focus on the positives. This is fine and all but life isn't about hiding from what makes you sad or uncomfortable. It is more important to face what is bothering you and suffer through your problems to find a solution because that is what makes you stronger.
I understand that there are certain people who have genuine mental problems like severe anxiety and depression which is more complicated, but it is highly unlikely that you are one of those people. The idea around worrying constantly about one's own mental state has been taken to the extremes in today's culture but the idea of carrying one's own suffering and fighting through it is rarely spoken about and this needs to change.
Humans are much more mentally resilient than we give ourselves credit for and I think keeping that idea in mind would honestly make us stronger in the face of problems life throws at us rather than constantly worrying about being depressed or anxious.
Do you guys golf as a walk on or do a single reservation? It seems like I played my two worst rounds to date when trying to get more golf in and my normal partner is away.
How do you guys pull yourself out of the hole alone on the course? I played with high handicappers 20 years older both times and I could never find my rhythm. I think I am so used to match play that I play worse seeing them shank shots all over and it hurts my stroke play.
I played with some guys about 10 years younger and played fine, chatted a bit and relaxed. One of the guys was a lower handicap and I tried to keep pace. Hell, I got a birdie that day.
So do you guys have any tips?
This is my first job. I've been only here for 6 months. And I suck at this job. Hint: im working in a finance-related job
For the past few days, it really took a toll on my mental health. Sisigaw na lang at iiyak na lang ako bigla buti na lang WFH. I've made costly mistakes at work. Hindi ako nakakatulog at nakakain ng maayos. Medyo toxic yung workload and tingin ko kulang yung skill set at knowledge ko. Feeling ko incompetent ko(i think hindi rin imposter syndrome). I really don't like this job.
I'm writing here to solicit your opinion. I don't want to adopt a deafitist attitude.
Anong dapat kong mindset? How can I develope greater stress tolerance and mental fortitude? How do I prove myself that I am competent enough to keep job? For those who have been in the same boat, how did you cope?
I plan to resign after I hit my one-year mark since di ko naman talaga to passion. Di ko pa alam balak ko sa buhay. But I do know I want to succeed.
New to town, can’t find anyone that delivers inner-city... advice please!
If you are not sure what [[Fortitude]] is or never heard of it allow me introduce you to this card. Its Generic and 1 Green Mana for a Enchanment-Aura, read as follows: Enchant Creature: Sacrifice a Forest: Regenerate enchanted creature. When Fortitude is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return Fortitude to its owner’s hand.
So I run an Lands Matter Muldortha deck and I always wanted to protect my commander because sometimes of boardwipes, removal and etc. And I was looking up some cards and I saw this pop up. Right now it sits about 30 cents and about 261 decks according to EDHREC. And I was wondering how come this card isn't played more in green based decks? I mean for the effect you get and just to sac a forest pretty good.
https://scryfall.com/card/usg/253/fortitude Also link to the card as well.
Am I wrong or is it a bit to narrow for what it seems.
I dont see builds with fortitude decos anymore does it not affect the damage cap or just not worth supplementing out from other charms anymore?
Undead Fortitude: Healing 5, triggered 3 when fails a Toughness check by 4 degrees, limited to incapacitated, staggered, and dazed.
This is a power I used for a zombie underling to a vampier, I like powers that help set apart different foes so this ability I think really works well for a zombie to represent that they can keep fighting through broken bones and damaged organs. A zombie only really goes down when they take brain damage or possibly after there body has just taken *so* much damage it simply stops functioning after a massive amount of wounds pile up.
I think this is better than regen as this shows they are still taking damage that is still present on there body's it's just not phasing them as much as they should, this is also why it does not fix bruises. The stabs wound to the zombie's torso are still there is just does not an issue for them in the same way it would be for a human.
There are probably other ways this effect could be accomplished, this was just the way I ran it and managed to make a PL8 zombie last a fairly long time against a PL10 warrior PC. Would not recommend this for minion undead but for the more powerful ones I think it's worth considering, and I think the PC enjoyed the victory more after they had to batter this zombie around so much. I told him the healing had 3 uses and he kept track so when they were all done he was like "Ah ha I got you now!"
Hi folks.
I lost about 40 lbs between August 2019 and March 2020. Once spring break hit, and it all went downhill, I stopped eating keto, and gained it all back. I suspected I would.
Fast forward to now, my clothes fit a bit tighter, but my partner wants to help get me back on track. I recently had some health issue (top surgery, reflux, high blood pressure :( ) so I'll have to navigate around those. I'm determined though. Wish me luck!
It's very handy.
edit: Apparently tagging a post with "Humor/Meme" is not enough of a giveaway for people to realize this is a joke.
I want to be able to endure uncomfortable tasks longer such as exercise or focusing things that bore me.
One thing I definitely want to commend the Lakers for is exhibiting mental fortitude in the bubble. Last month Paul George talked about being depressed and stressed in the bubble. Dwight Howard has also talked about how difficult it is mentally to be in the bubble. Jamal Murray has talked about depression and the stress of the bubble. It's very isolated from the rest of society. Jalen Brown has also stated that it's tough being there.
I believe that the fact that we have mentally tough veteran professionals like LeBron, Rondo, Dudley and JR (he has a ring and high pressure finals experience), a veteran coaching staff and younger players who actively WANT to learn from the vets is a huge advantage for us.
The game is 10% physical and 90% mental. This is even more prominently displayed in the bubble. I believe that this mental fortitude will be the deciding factor in the finals. Do you guys think that the Lakers have an advantage in the mental aspect of the game relative to the other remaining teams?
Genuinely started worrying about my mental state while I play. I belive I have two modes, either I'm in the flow and destroy the opposing team or I get trashed. And this has nothing to do with my opponents, I know I beat better players with both better gunplay and positioning. This is purely mental, I started feeling down while I play recently and I just cant seem to get over it. I then ask you, how do you keep your mental state in check? How do you practice this? As I try my best to improve in macro and micro, I want to do the same for mental play, and I'm looking for any sort of tips honestly.

Undisciplined play , two games in a row with soft clears to nowhere if I'm cassidy I'm going to eviscerate the entire team after this one
Meaning, while you can set yourself a goal to work harder, setting "getting a promotion" as a goal isn't valid and defaults to "work harder".
This ability includes a failsafe so that you cannot overexert or overstress yourself to degrees, that are detrimental to your health. This failsafe cannot be deactivated or overwritten, you're essentially on autopilot.

Hi all, I've been lurking here for half a year. I've read almost every post and decided to share my experience to help the wonderful community as I think it is slightly different than most and my intent is in hopes that it might help you feel better if you are feeling unsure/alone/negative at any point before and during your exam. Know that it is part of the rollercoaster of a journey, that's what makes it exciting.
A little background for context as always.
Formal Education (3 relevant years, not much remembered):
I had some technical education in IT in my teens but I furthered on with a degree in something totally unrelated, but life throws you opportunities when you least expect and back into the industry I went.
Work experience (4 years) Tldr (Not much to help):
Unlike most of the posters here, I have very little work experience in this field. I have 2 years doing Ops governance in a project (telling the technical guys what I want) providing 2FA services, it was not a technical role and my focus was mostly on ensuring things were up and running by tossing SLAs at people. The only experience I felt I gained was what the 5 types of authentication are when brought over to the context of CISSP lol.
Another 2 years I swapped roles as a Cybersecurity Engineer, this was a technical role and since I was involved from the Implementation phase onwards, I had some idea on the SDLC processes and NIST 800-53 and ISO 27001 due to project certification requirements, but I was really lacking in relevant experience on a higher level since I was running through checklists more so than understanding the broader picture of the intents for these documents as I was more of a Data Custodian and SecAdmin. CISSP was a semi-requirement for the project and I was encouraged to take it by my superior, which to some of my peers was an undertaking beyond my ability as I lacked the depth and experience and they felt that I should be taking a less challenging Security cert.
The only other cert I hold is ITILv3.
My Prep:
Input:
I took 4 months to prepare, I spent about 2 hours each day (Maybe 2-3 times a week), and 3-4 on weekends (every weekend). I will not rate my study sources, as I did not use many compared to most other posts, so to me, these are all great and sufficient to pass.
1st Month: CISSP Official Study Guide (8th Ed)
I had to read this cover to cover, I lacked the experience and every page had concepts and words new to me. Took me 1.5 months t
... keep reading on reddit ➡I've wondered about this stat for awhile now, If you go to your collections>codex and go to the Gear Codex File (should be the last file) you will see that every single faction (excluding Pym) has this stat. Tbh I thought is was just Health (Resolve) but if you look under the SHIELD faction they already have Heath as a stat.
“You must watch, you must labour, you must get the better of certain appetites, must quit your acquaintance, be despised by your servant, be laughed at by those you meet; come off worse than others in everything, in magistracies, in honours, in court of judicatory. When you have considered all these things round, approach, if you please; by parting with them, you have a mind to purchase equanimity, freedom, and tranquility.” - Epictetus, Enchiridion, 29
Lvl 0 fortitude cooldown = 60 seconds
Lvl 1 fortitude cooldown = 50 seconds
Lvl 2 fortitude cooldown = 45 seconds???????
Lvl 3 fortitude cooldown = 30 seconds
maybe I'm missing something but maybe it would make more sense for it to go 60,50,40,30?
