I am curious as a history nerd about the warlord era of china. I am interested in any books or youtube series. Also any takes/opinions from chinese people about this era.

My pokemon knowledge isn’t too limited, I stopped caring when SWSH came out. But the TCG seems fun and I am curious what beginner decks to invest in.

This happened to me, I helped a guy get something and nothing seemed too wrong. I take him up to the counter to pay for his item. He then says “I don’t make the rules pal, I’d rather do it up front if it made you so mad.” I then said “what?” He then says I apparently slammed his item onto the counter? I don’t get it, I have an RBF and I don’t really act ultra fake happy hammy like a leave it to beaver character. Transaction ended fine and he said “I hope your day gets better” passive aggressively. I was only just tired and shaking off a small kind of cold.

Has anyone flipped them yet and made a profit? Im just curious about getting into flipping.

I answer a phone call at work, customer says they want this cable for their phone. Im like “yeah we have it.” Basic stuff that happens but then the customer says “is there a way I can buy it and have someone walk it over to the front counter for me?” I told them no and I had to explain to them there will be people in the department willing to help them and they can buy it. To be fair I didn’t know if they have a disability or not but like cmon. I can’t tell if it’s richie rich entitlement or boomer entitlement.

I guess for the past year or two ive had waves of gender envy? It can be directed towards cis, trans or fictional women. Idk I can’t describe the envy but I just kind of sit on it and it turns into a hatred. When that Alyssa Liu became popular my gender envy turned to hatred of her.

I wish I can write this envy off as me just hating my life or body. I work a job I hate, I do college but pass rather than learn, im autistic, I live in the middle of nowhere, routinely broke, I live with a bipolar mom, I am estranged from my dad. I also just hate how I look, completely bald due to alopecia, skinnyfat (ive tried fasting,peptides and I can’t diet due to living with my mom who hates me cooking), I have an overbite and I am routinely laughed at in public even though I do nothing.

I remedy this a bit by just looking at transformation porn or playing as female characters in video games. But thats somewhat it, I can’t really wear feminine clothes due to how controlling my mom is. She threw a fit when I was wearing beanies to work when it was winter. She is also very against lgbtq stuff, laughing at a transphobic joke a guy she was friends with made.

I do go to therapy and I have mentioned the trans thoughts but we haven’t made progress. Just a lot of surface level stuff. I wish I can write this off as me having a phase or my OCD acting up. But it always irks me when I see trans timelines. Its like saying “God I want that” but you don’t have the ability to get it. I wish I can write off as me wanting to be loved or just wanting to feel confident. What can I do to write this off?

I guess for the last year ive been having waves and surges of gender envy. It can be towards cis, trans or fictional women. It can always turn into a bit of hatred towards said person. I remember when that Alyssa Liu got popular, I hated seeing her cause she triggered my envy. I will be at work sometimes and will be helping a woman that triggers my envy.

I always want to write it off as me hating my life or my body. I work a job I hate and can’t leave, I do college but pass rather than learn, I live with a bipolar mom, I am estranged from my dad, I am constantly broke and I don’t have any love interests. With my body, I am skinnyfat, I am completely bald due to alopecia (meds never helped), I have an overbite and I am autistic.

I do go to therapy and she has listened to my envy thoughts but never expanded on it. My mom thinks being gay is taboo and laughed at a transphobic joke a friend of her’s made. I guess the only way I safely indulge in stuff like this is either transformation nsfw content or playing as a female protag in a pokemon game. I also can’t dress femininely, my mom got angry when I wore a beanie to work during winter.

I guess I just never feel quite content. I just always have a constant urge to runaway from my lif

So far ive completed FR, HG and Platinum for nuzlockes. FR was very casual with potions allowed and HG/Platinum had item mulligans for tough fights. So I wouldn’t say im seasoned but I get the idea of it. Im gonna do a black 2 run soon. But I am curious about any hacks that are softer for a seasoned ish locker like me.

Im a college student and I work part time at a retail chain. I am just kind of tired of being routinely broke every week. I was wondering if investing into a gum ball machine would be good for some small passive income. I don’t have too many skills, I am rusty ish with coding and I am somewhat good at IT. But I don’t graduate til this fall. I am open to anything thats affordable. I have been making decent money selling older stuff on ebay. I am wondering if I can make a decent killing reselling stuff?
