If you could commute and work in a comfy onesie, would you do it?

I'm growing depressed.
I'm some kind of anarcho-libertarian, not so much because I like it, but because life made me that way.
I never had any handout from the state, and I don't have any, I live purely from my capital and I'm independant. I like it, I don't owe anything anyone. I've got online projects and so on...
One of the reason is that, when I was 19, I was a skinny shy nerd, I had no income, divorced parent and I asked, back then, a help from the state, but more so I wanted to be heard (I was in deep depression), and I was told off by the social workers/assistants in the most patronizing, humiliating way multiple time in a row, to the extent I developped PTSD about it and socially isolated myself, because I saw an ugly side of human nature. So, I was like, ok I'm on my own, no help, but ok. Those people were probably assholes.
Years and years later (in other words, today), I had to accompany my mother who's on a wheelchair. The young very compassionate female social worker chatted with my mom in a very friendly way, then after 10 minutes she turned to me, asked me questions, so I told that I had no income, I was independant, then she said how comes? I told her about my depression, being a drop-out, my dead father, my auto-mutilations, I was happy to be able to talk to someone about my vulnerabilities and issues for the first time in 10 years.... she then turned into the most despicable, nasty, uncompassionate person I've ever seen. "So what? Stop complaining and go get a frigging job, Just apply to some McDonald, is that too hard?" and proceed for 10 minutes to spew an unsolicitated reprimand about my situation in a very bitchy way. I was What. The. Fuck. It was this random rejection all over again. Pure bullying.
I'm 10 years older than that thot. She just wanted to dominate someone who she perceived as weak.
I was absolutely gobsmacked. My mother was too. Note that I was just there to accompany my mother, I asked for nothing.
I'm starting to believe there is something seriously wrong with me, to systematically attract such nastiness. I know Belgium is a broken, ineffective country with a shitty mentality but anyway.
Today I'm in full PTSD-attack mode.
/sorry for the rant, I had to vent.

It might not be the cause of your problems, but at the riask of sounding like an MRA: I have a theory that there's a sort of unspoken script in our society that (young) men are expected to adhere to, even subconsciously by certain otgerwise progressive people (just like women suffer from certain ecpectations). So young men are expected to provide, to be strong, to sacrifice themselves, (at least as an ideal). So when the opposite happens and you open up abput your vulnerabilities it seems weak and repulses certain people who have integrated this script even tho we live in the 21st century.
But to get less technical and less blame-y: some ppl are just assholes. One person told me that 9 out of 10 people are not worth it, but finding that 1 out of 10 people that you do vibe with makes putting yourself out there worth it again.

And at the risk of sounding like an SJeW: that sounds a bit like toxic masculinity. The downplaying of men's emotional states saying they should man up. Not directly of course since toxic masculinity tends to also be about violent tendencies and sexual aggression but the response to not conforming to that idea of masculinity tends to be very similar: Man up and pull yourselves up by the bootstraps.
2
Yeah, I'm sure there is something like that in play... the contrast of empathy (or lack thereof) between her interraction with my mother and with me was striking, there is probably a gender based double-standard in the way social workers deal with people.
3
I personally prefer the term restrictive gender roles as toxic masculinity as a term provokes defensive reactions, but i get what u mean.
2
Gender roles, toxic masculinity, social programming, 'group think', whatever we call it, it's the same idea, with varied spices on it: society as a collective distributes currently held or imposed ideas, about how things are, in various walks of life, on various topics. Once you fall out of those, you will face some serious resistance from people who are too deep into those beliefs.
To be able to face that resistance... And to face that? Well, you either need conviction, or extreme self love, or just pure fucking rage... Whatever... Strong emotion or perahps belief system... To sustain you in this head against the brick wall type of situation.
But on the bright side...
The deeper you go into those things, the more you can become whole... and truly, mmmm "yourself".
xD
Maybe :). Just gotta remember to do your thing, and not expect people to be down with it, but hey - you're not doing your thing to get people to be down with it anyway, eh? xD hue hue hue :).
1
I think I know what you mean... I try to make sense of what happened (couldn't really put this into words exactly, my post was a bit too long-winded.), I found completely weird that the more vulnerable I appeared, the more arrogant/bullying she became. It turns on some predatory instinct to some people I guess.... There is surely some evolutionary psychology thing behind it or something.
I wasn't even supposed to talk to her in the first place but accompany my mother.
2
/sorry for the rant, I had to vent.
No need to apologize, it's what we're here for :) amongst other things =)

I'll meditate to calm myself out or something... I'm still feeling like crap today
2
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you, friend!

Thanks!

One thing that Murican culture got right among all the bullshit is Mr Rogers. If you don't know him he's basically a kids' tv show host who told children that they're okay, it's okay to be you, etc. Simple but powerful stuff.
Also, If I'm feeling down on myself I remind.myself that I am the x billionth human bumbling through existance, among all the peasants, homeless, rapists, murderers, politicians, failed actors, parttime hairdressers, wannabe writers, Roman Emperors, Vikings, Vikings' rape victims, monks, and all the people you see in your doctors' waiting room. Oddly, that makes my tribulations feel a little less intimidating. We're all a product of our time, place and environment and we're all part of the same universe.
1
I don't disagree; it's a Stoician technique called the "View from Above", in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.

Good luck man!
You really didn't deserve to be treated that way from anyone. It's always people in comfortable positions who will speak down to you. Often people who haven't seen real black snow.
The system isn't here to really help everyone it seems. I've been a dropout too. Leaving my parents house at 19. Everything was so depressing and I was in such a negative spiral often. Auto-mutilation only helps for a short while, I hope you're off that tbh. It helps feeding the negative spiral and pulls you down after you see what you've done.
I also feel anarcho-libertarian tbh. Constantly disapproving everything government related. I hate this capitalstic bullshit system. But I write it out to get it off my mind. That really helps to calm those urges of wanting to overthrowing the government. Even though I know, one person can't do that.
I'm looking forward to moving out of belgium when I'm around 35-40. I'd love to move to a scandinavian country and live in nature. Those plans calm me down, knowing there will be a better life outside of belgium.
Good luck and the best to you! Keep the spirit up
2
Why wait that long instead of moving out of Belgium now?
2
Money and girlfriend.
She'd like to move there to one day but she's not ready yet. We're going 2-3 weeks to Sweden next summer and maybe a week to Norway. That might speed up plans.
Also, learning the language. I've installed duolingo, but my other hobbies take up too much time atm to start learning quickly.
1
Thanks for those words. I agree with you, I'm thinking of moving out as well, but something more exotic, but I'm not sure Scandinavia might be the best (aren't they very socialistic or something?). One day, probably out of the EU.
2
I have no problems with socialism tbh. And it wouldn't really matter as I'm planning on sustaining myself there for the bigger part. Or that's my plan / hope. Why you think that socialism would be a problem?
I can't live in very hot regions so exotic things aren't for me :D hence moving more to the north. Out of the EU, is something i could really follow. Away from this bullshit power. But idk. It also provides a lot of stability and peace. Where do you wanna move?
1
I don't like socialists because they tend to reinforce state power and prevent autonomy or self-determination (for example, the girl I was talking about, I think what she was irked about subconsciously, is my independance, such people hate autonomous people), though I agree that someone shouldn't be so poor that he would be homeless or no ability to get food.
I was thinking of a place like Mexico, because I listen a lot to a guy like Jeff Berwick on youtube (a Canadian, anarchist, founder of Anarcapulco who went to live in Mexico) and he seems to like it.
1
she might have percieved you as having self-pity which could generate very hostile reactions
2
Yeah, probably, but I was merely stating things. It's very frustrating.
My very politically incorrect feeling is that women have a subconscious aversion for males displaying weakness, hence her reaction.
2
merely stating selfpittance would also produce this reaction
and is your political incorrect feeling that there is this "hidden force" working against you ;)
1
She is supposed to help, she's paid for that. It's like going to the cardiologist, and say "I got a pain in the heart area" and being told off to stop complaining and sent back home. I didn't complain, I answered her questions that's all.
1
We can improve the system but not the peoples, we can set up money on the side to make sure you have your shot , but it's hard to make sure that the peoples in charge are going to do their job.

what do you do for a living?

Dispatching, mon-fri from 10pm - 6 am

Denmark update: it's getting cold. Very cold. Sundown at 15:52. Everybody's busy making julestjerner, julehjerter and other types of decoration. Here and there people are already holding julefrokost, which is a type of early christmas dinner with groups other than family (usually colleagues and friends groups).
I am currently still vegan, 3 days left for my vegan month challenge. I'll be happy when it's over, I don't want to miss the traditional flæskesteg and risengrød. I have acquired a taste for vegan cheese, though, the stuff they make with coconut oil. I think I may keep on buying that stuff, it really isn't half bad.
I've been invited to three places for christmas plus a party at new year's, so it seems my stay will be prolonged a bit. I'm immensely grateful for that.
Two weeks ago, I met somebody on the train from Rødekro to Aarhus who I just loved talking to. She speaks Danish like a poet, I've never seen such eloquence in anyone of her age in any language. All the while, she kept repeating how impressive she found my Danish, particularly how fast I learned it. We talked about languages, how they are related, how best to learn them, and so on. We've been chatting ever since, and she's even more eloquent in writing than in speaking.
On an unrelated note, I cant count how many times I've had to explain that belgisk is not a language, and that, yes, we do indeed kind of speak flamsk where I'm from, but it's really just hollandsk from Belgien. You know, like people from Østrig speak tysk and not "østrigsk" and people from USA speak engelsk and not "amerikansk" or what have you, and people from Brasilien speak portugisisk and not "brasiliensk" and so on. And yes, just like with all those peoples, one can always tell if a speaker is from Belgien or Holland, but it is still the same language, it adhears to the same standardised rules, albeit with different standardised phonetics. Did I mention we don't use hollandsk ourselves though? We always say nederlandsk, you know, maybe you saw something about De Forenede Nederlande in history class? No? Nevermind then. It's just that to us, Holland is only a part of the country known as Nederland, and their collection of dialects we would also call hollandsk. Imagine foreigners not calling your language dansk, but sjællandsk instead. That would be odd, right?

Ah man Denmark sounds great. It's shortlisted on my next places to move to list after I get out of this dump that is Dublin.
How did you learn your Danish? I did a one year evening class at CLT in Leuven almost 10 years ago which was great, I can understand most of what people say and have some basic conversation. I try to keep it up by watching Danish stuff on Netflix, but not using the language means I'm slowly losing it.
How was your move to Denmark? Did you move for work or for Denmark primarily?
(Language story: I was in Copenhagen a few years ago standing at a bus stop when someone asked me when the bus was coming (in Danish). I told her but said I wasn't sure as I was just visiting Copenhagen. She was surprised to hear I wasn't Danish. And then it became obvious because I struggled to keep the conversation going in Danish :D. So I'd give myself an 8 on pronunciation, 4 on understanding, 2 on vocabulary, 1 on writing correctly.)
3
I went there as a foreign exchange student 6 years ago, and I vowed never to use english except when absolutely necessary (i.e. when talking to foreigners who weren't quite as hell-bent on learning the language as me). By the end of that year-long exchange, I had to expressly tell people I was not Danish and only had been there for one year :D . Been back on holiday every year ever since, while trying my damnest to maintain my level of Danish as well as I can. Currently finished with university, I enrolled on a Danish Folk Highschool as a last side-step before I enter the world of adults. I pretty much haven't spoken Dutch (or English, for that matter) since early September.
Also, why do you call Dublin a dump? I recall my time there as very entertaining. Granted, I was only a tourist.
2
Ha. It's exaggeration. But still, there are some issues. Rent in Dublin is absolute madness, I'm paying €2250/m right now for a 1br (new development, first person to live there) that's a 30 minute bus ride from the centre (but in a good area). Housing quality in general is really low, and public transit is a complete mess (even compared to Belgium).
Things that were easy to take for granted in Belgium don't exist here (relatively cheap electronics in good online stores like Coolblue, nice supermarkets like Colruyt and Delhaize, cheap to go out, decent interconnections between train/tram/bus, a train stop at the airport, good/free/cheap healthcare). I didn't know this prior to moving. It's fine, I'll survive and I'm enjoying myself now, but there is no way I'm going to live here for more than a few years.

I cant count how many times I've had to explain that belgisk is not a language, and that, yes, we do indeed kind of speak flamsk where I'm from, but it's really just hollandsk from Belgien.
Just tell them Danish is just another version of Swedish and see how they like it ;) (I've found Scandinavian languages easy to learn if you have a thing for linguistics and if Dutch is your native language, the words aren't that different, syntax neither, you just get into the flow and tadah - there is another foreign language). I should brush up my Swedish, now I think about it. I can use any excuse to buy some new books.
2
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I occasionally have to explain to people that I am indeed not Danish, so I'd say I mastered the language to an acceptable degree. In the meantime, I have studied applied linguistics -> interpretation -> conference interpretation with Dutch, English and German at the universities of Brussels and Gent, so saying I have a thing for linguistics is putting it lightly :)

Please update when you eat meat again, I'm interested how it will taste for you after not eating it for so long.
2
Aah interesting, I'm actually travelling to Aarhus in a couple months. What's it like there? What brings you there?
2
Cool :) Well the city likes to see itself as an alternative hub, imagine lots of artists and musicians and the like. Kinda like Ghent? A stereotype about Aarhus is that it has the prettiest girls of all the Danish cities :)
If you're familiar with intra-Danish culture, you'll find it interesting that Aarhus is often considered very un-Jutland-like (as all of Jutland is usually characterised as being entirely farmland with rough types and so on).
I do not currently reside in Aarhus itself, and out of fear of doxxing myself I'd rather not say where exactly I do. I have a special connection with Denmark though, ever since my AFS exchange year there. I lived with the best host family imaginable and vowed not to use any English at all, no matter how difficult it got (apart from when talking to other foreign exchange students, most weren't quiiiite as interested in learning a language as me). By the end of the year I was very fluent, only occasional problems with vocabulary (there are always new words to learn) and occasionally pronounciation. I've maintained my Danish as well as I could over the past six years.
2
Nice thanks for the info! Aah and AFS, that makes a lot of sense. Do you reckon 6 months is enough time to become fluent? I probably won't be having a ton of access to native Danish speakers though. (Also international/foreign student kinda thing). Any particular material/sources you used to learn the language?

Fuuuuuck, 20 minutes in bed and it's crystal clear sleep is going to come as easily as yesterday. Fuck fuck fuck this so goddamn hard
Not in fucking years has it been this fucked... Not for a goddamn decade that the goddamn shit in my head won't settle the fuck down and makes you wanna split your goddamn skull open... Fuck
Fuck this fuck the whole ex bullshit fuck having no fucking control over all the stupid shit my head keeps coming up with fuck it all and let it fucking stop
Fuck :( i thought shit was looking up man... Slowly but surely, step by step. Man's worst fucking enemy is themselves...
God I hope sleep comes soon
6
16 fucks, those are rookie numbers.
Just stop giving a fuck.
7
Just stop giving a fuck.
Mmmm, I've sent a memo up about that to the brain, but it hasn't received it yet I think
3
It was just a way to work the word "fuck" into the comment. Because i fully realize that "have you just tries not being shy/angry/depressed/insert problem here" is the bestest advice of all time and totally works.
2
Oh, whoosh.. :p :)
2
My travel partner just finished "the subtle art of not giving a fuck". Really really helped her.
2
the subtle art of not giving a fuck
Hmm, might have a look at that =) ^^
3
Damn, I've only had it a few times in my life where I could just not fall asleep despite being very tired. I guess that was similar, I cannot imagine experiencing that everyday. I'm aware that this doesn't really help, but good luck getting some sleep!
2
Thankfully it's not an everyday thing... in the sense that, I basically "couldn't" sleep as a teenager (my mind would never stop ... "talking", for lack of a better term, driving me up the walls, so I'd just go to bed at 22h, read until 3 am and fall asleep with my face on a book or smthn... alternatively, go to bed at 22h, lay awake for ... 3-4 hours, then sleep)
From age 19 shit got better though, working night shifts helps sometimes, but yeah, last few months been a bit more emotionally unstable than the last few years, as such, finding myself losing control on my train of thought, mmm
Anyway, might not help with the sleep, but some kind words are always much appreciated, so thanks :)
2
You consider taking 'sleeping pills' with 'plantaardige' ingredients? You can also make a thea with that ingredient.
Mastrubating before sleep also works, no joke. Go to the gym and work your ass off.
2
Mmm, I'm relatively "scared" of sleeping pills... I'll definitely keep that for if it really becomes a daily issue, basically I would be asking/needing for something to "shut my head up" for a bit, which afaik basically comes down to prescribing benzos, which... rather not be takin' if I can avoid it too
Masturbation before sleep, totally, silly to say, but I think from age 16 to 19 I probably didn't ever go to bed without masturbating, not a great sleeper back then either...
Problem is libido also takes a hit under the depressive episodes... :) So not really in "the mood"
Go to the gym and work your ass off.
-stares at the GoFit across the street from his home- xD
Nah, no funds for fancy gyms atm, or the energy to leave the house for it, but instead of actively avoiding doing my exercises in the morning, I might try doing 'em in the morning a few times, thanks for the suggestions :)
2
Those sleeping pills aren't chemical, so you can't be addicted to them
2
Hmmm... avoiding exercises... hmmm :).

On a personal note; everybody who works in insurance: go fuck yourself you bunch of leeches.

Asshole answer: you we're still hit by traffic coming from the opposite side. Even if the other car was doing an asshole maneuver.
That said, I feel for you and your car, it's never fun to be involved in an accident.

That would be like leaving a one way street the wrong way and claiming right of way... You aren't supposed to be there and you aren't reasonably expected to be there.

the third fucking random meeting thats planned by someone from management without any explanation. Just a meeting request with a vague title for the next day.
I'm so fucking tired of all of this shit. I'm not motivated. How could I be.
I had a meeting with my direct boss who told me he has been pushing to get me fired. So I at least could take some days to go on job meetings. I agree with him. They already fucked me mentally enough to never want to work here.

How about not working in a comfy onesie?

Hey guys, it's time for the generic daily Bpost rant!
I'm at home this week, but I ordered some cat litter and cat food from zooplus, and knew it would be arriving today... so I've stayed at home, kept music to a minimum, etc. Just hanging out, waiting for my delivery, like the cool person I am.
Literally 10 minutes ago, I heard a noise. Went to check the front of the house. Bpost van! Awesome! I herded the cats into a room and waited a minute. When no one came to the door (it's not exactly very far), I checked the window again to see our friend Mr. Bpost attempting a 3-point turn (but it was 5, because he apparently also sucks at driving), after which he left.
I thought "Okay, well.. maybe he didn't have anything for me. I'll check the mailbox anyway though."
Indeed, in my mailbox, I had two slips of paper confirming that there are two packages for me at our pickup point.
There was no doorbell or knocking. I think he just picked up the packages, noticed that they were heavy (~24kg and ~14kg) and just didn't even bother trying the door. He just wrote the slips and fucked off. If he had an issue lifting them, I could have done it myself tbh. I'll have to do it anyway tomorrow now.
THANKS BPOST.
Oh, and also he filled the papers in for 10 am, but he was here at 11:30. So not only is he a cocksucker who doesn't deliver my shit, he's also fudging his times for some reason.
4
Enjoy your downvotes and posts incoming that they have it hard and that it's not their fault etc.
Because apparently we're no longer allowed to complain about people not doing their job properly.
3
I give zero shits. If the boxes were too heavy to lift, he could have knocked on my door and asked me to do it, or we could have co-lifted it. I get that if he has 100 deliveries today that all weigh that much, it's rough on the back.
But he can at least knock and see if I'm home.
2
Oh for sure, I'm all for a good Bpost rant, especially if it's a justified rant like yours. Just a trend I noticed but apparently that's only for when it's a separate topic and not in slowchat :)
2
Think it’s time to file an official complaint with bpost and the ombuds
2
Report it! If enough people report and complain, there will HAVE be some action/change from bpost. It might even be a win-win where they decrease the workload of postpeople.. or am I being too optimistic? :]
2
If I ever live in a house, and not an apartment, I'm gonna have cameras, to confirm just such shenanigans xD.

Well, I can. I just wouldn’t have to commute anymore if I do. So no: I wouldn’t do it.
3
I actually never wore a onesie before, but I would definitely wear my comfy warm sweatpants way more often.
3
This xD. tho, I spend 4 days a week in sweatpants. Also sometimes I'll wear sweatpants to work, if I'm feeling particularly rekt or just... bad :).

That's very accurate. I find clothing can be like music in a way. sometimes you listen to music to feel better, and sometimes you feel to music... to feel... more, hmmm, to feel stronger what you already are feeling. And it can be the same with clothes, like, you COULD dress up to feel better... or, you could dress down to... sort of, suit your mood :).

If you could commute and work in a comfy onesie
All internal employees were on a three day conference last week. Some of us externals were actually pondering on just bringing a onesie because fuck it. We didn't put our money where our mouth was though.
In other news, yesterday I made my first actual contribution to open source software, lol. I found out an app I was using is open source on Github but didn't have a Dutch translation yet. Forked it, added Dutch, and put in a pull request. Makes you feel like a totally legit developer, despite being a system engineer.
And my smartwatch still hasn't arrived... Bpost and yellow jackets are really fucking me up.

Cracked my phonescreen yesterday :( now, to replace or buy a new phone is the big question!

Get it fixed, our disposable society is unsustainable.

it was more luxury problem joke, replacement screen is already on its way.

Don't forget to get one of those glass screen protectors! ;) Easier and cheaper to replace than a screen
2
Yes ordered it too.
Sidenote did you get a new reddit profile?
2
Cracked my phonescreen last week.
My phone dropped thousands of times violently on the ground and nothing happend... then last day it fell down the couch on soft ground... screen shattered.
2
Yeah know the feeling, mine dropped some many times without a scratch, yesterday the whole screen shattered. I guess it has been weakened with each drop.
2
Thank God i had a oneplus when that happened, best service in the world.

I had a small talk(/chat) with my mom yesterday. She said that I should've told her that my watch broke so she could buy one for me. I told her that I'm big enough to get my own watches and that the one I got was a bit too expensive for her. I'm more financial secure than she is, so she doesn't need to do that for me.
Both my SO can save quite some money each month while still being able to do anything we want. While my mom has troubles staying afloat and she still has my brother to care for who still isn't doing anything than sleep and game. Luckily she gets some financial aid from my grandparents (who are financially secure).
I get that my mom wants to do something for me from time to time, but that doesn't need to be always money. I'm more than happy with the occasional dinner when we stay over. when we're going to someplace close to my old place.
As for the onesie, no idea. I've never worn one, so I have no idea how that is. I do enjoy working in my pyjamas when I work from home.

Because you were all begging for more:
There are more than 200 Dutch words that contain all 5 vowels exactly once. Such wonderful words like 'ajuinbollen', 'blauwogige', 'foutschattingen', 'frambozenstruik', 'huwelijkscontract', 'kajuitjongens', 'lofbazuinen', 'melancholicus', 'noctambulisme', 'plutocratie', 'ultraviolet' and 'zoutwatervis'. Isn't Dutch the most wonderful of languages?
The shortest one is "douarie" (=properties of a widow), the longest "verbrandingsproduct".
Only 3 words contain the 5 vowels exactly once in alphabetical order: arbeidsonrust, lateihout, stageinhoud.
If you count 'y' as a vowel, there's only one word that contains them exactly once: 'loyauteit'. 'fysiotherapeut(en)' is the only other word that contains them all.
The longest words with no more than 5 consonants are 'aaneengenaaide', 'milieueducatie' and 'papegaaienkooi'
The words with most occurences of the letter 'd' are 'donderdagmiddag', 'driehonderdduizend'.
Many Bothans died to bring you this information!
The longest word you can type on an Azerty keyboard with your left hand is 'aardgasreserves'.
The longest palindrome is koortsmeetsysteemstrook
The list I use has "verbeteraarsters"
For the right hand I have "minimumloon".
That's for qwerty -- I believe it's the same for azerty?
I also found that one but I've never heard somebody use that word and you can't find it on woordenlijst.org. If we count made-up words, 'aardgasverbeteraarsters' is the longest one.
I'd like to add driehonderddrieëndertigduizend!
no dutch sucks and so do all other languages
terug in uw kajuit!
no u! the only reason why people speak is out of spite! because they had to learn it when they were young
