So it's a third party company that offers to advertise products within costco. I got information about the product and am studying it right now, but i've never done a sales job for 8 hours straight. I dont mind talking to strangers, i'm not that introverted but i am curious if anybody else had a bad/good experience with the job.

so i have very strict christian parents, and they peeped through my room while i was gone even though i told them in the past to respect my privacy and not do it, but they found my stash of edibles.

my mom started tearing up and panicking, and now she sat me down telling me how horrible of a drug weed is and how it can lead me down a path to stronger drugs. i tried to calm her down and explain to her that i managed to smoke weed while succeeding in nursing school all year and even asked the hospital if it's okay to smoke weed as a nurse, and they told me it's fine as long as i do it off duty.

she also found out that i'm on lexapro and told me that she had researched how horrible of a combination the two are, even though i spoke to my doctor and was told it should be fine. my mother is quite arrogant and overprotective so she still believes i can't be a nurse, my health will be severely impacted and that i'll become a drug addict. she's cried multiple times and she seems quite scared.

on one hand, i do feel bad. i understand that she is uneducated on this topic and she is caring for me, but she's requesting that i see a counselor to quit weed and telling me that i have no other choice. i am 20 years old, but my schooling is being funded by my parents. not sure what to do right now.

So i've been gaining some weight these past few weeks because of weed induced binge eating. I know the munchies and eating alot when high is thrown around here lightly, but for me this is a serious issue. Just an hour ago, while high, i went to my local dollar store and bought a shit ton of lollipops, chocolate bars and chips and just ate them all in one sitting. The worst part is sobering up and feeling like shit from overeating. Any way to combat this? I tried eating a cucumber but my mind just went to junk food straight after

What threw me off this film was the dialogue. I greatly feel that the film could have been improved with a more natural sounding script instead of the one-dimensional and unnatural conversations that they have. Don’t get me wrong, Sean's speech on love and how will was just a child was touching, but the film could have hinged itself on its subtext instead of having the characters emphasize what was already established through the subtext itself. Having Sean explain Will's habit of pushing people away before people could push him told me that the writers couldn’t trust the viewers to understand the message themselves. Moreover, when displaying Will's intellect, some of the scenes felt straight out of a Marvel film where the main character is offensively praised and glamorized (like the opening scene where he fends off the hecklers).

​Which is also what leads me to be unsatisfied about Will's revelation at the end and his closure with Sean. Will was finally seen as a person rather than a patient to be diagnosed, and found some solace in his trauma. But it felt contrived, sort of over-the-top and cheesy, a penultimate scene that every film contains to bring out a few tears.

​I can understand the praise surrounding good will hunting but it felt formulaic and too easy to understand. I like There Will Be Blood, due to its slow build up of daniels character and the uncertainty in whether to praise or condemn him. From the beginning of the film, it was quite obvious that Will's character arc was going to be one of overcoming an obstacle and reaching closure. And I'm not the biggest fan of clichés that are further bolstered by overused film tropes.

any help would be appreciated, if there are former nursing students willing to share notes

so this morning i went on a trip to costco with my parents, and i got all my essentials for the cut and was looking forward to leaving until we hit the luxurious food court afterwards. now i have had DREAMS of that goddam hotdog for weeks now and i gave in and ate a bunch... but it didn't end there because afterwards i came home and demolished the fridge and ate ice cream, chips, ramen - you name it.

now i'm in bed extremely full and i'm kind of disappointed because i was making so much progress. i was 5 pounds away from my goal weight and now i kind of stunted my cut. i love the feeling of consistency and i feel like this is gonna make me spiral even further

So i've been taking Lexapro for a few weeks now, and aside from loss of libido, the other main side effect is an increase of appetite due to the targeted serotonin receptors. Now i'm not sure if it's because im cutting or if it's the SSRI, but i'm so goddam hungry all the time. I eat around 1500-1800 calories a day and managed to lose 10lbs, but these past few days of cutting have been hell.

Has anyone else successfully managed to lose weight and stay lean on anti-depressants? If so how?

So I can do about 5-7 pull ups right now and i do about 30 pull ups everyday, 6 days a week (6 sets of x5 at the gym). I try to grease the groove every now and then and do some pull ups every time I walk past my bar at home. So in total it's around 35-40 pull ups a day.

However, i'm looking up programs like the russian fighter pull up and it suggests I start off with my max and then dwindle the amount, whilst other programs like GTG i can't really conform to because it's annoying to do pull ups all throughout the day, and i'd much rather do it in one set. Furthermore, the russian fighter program doesn't really allow me to do to many pull ups and i'm plannning to progress faster. So i was wondering if there are any programs to increase my max pull up range, while offering higher training volume or a faster rate of progression. For reference, my current max is 7 strict pull-ups.

My whole life I had always neglected my mental health and assumed that i could push through with pure will power, but it had recently gotten so bad to the point where i went days without eating meals, couldn't get out of bed, and overall just wanting to die. I finally got prescribed lexapro and started off with 10mg for 7 days and then 20mg.

It's been an absolute life saver for me. I don't ruminate as much, and i don't experience any panic attacks either. I'm working out every day, brushing my teeth, even looking for a part time job and my life is starting to get back on track. So glad I took the leap. I know meds aren't for everyone, but lexapro has done wonders for me. It's not a happy pill necessarily, and I still struggle with some aspects of my mental health but i can't imagine myself living without it

i had a monitored screen time of 2 hours on weekends which lasted till i was like 15. didn't have any gaming consoles or anything, and didn't even listen to music till i was 15, just had the family computer

so naturally, when me and my friends would talk at school and the topic shifted to whatever video game/movie/youtubers we were into, i started to panic cause i literally had no clue about the topic at hand. so i had to pretend that i knew what i was talking about from eaves dropping on other people and gaining knowledge from just listening around. it was literally a game of not letting them know i was being sheltered at home lol. i would even brag to other kids that i was able to watch a movie on the weekends to signal that i'm normal, not knowing it was a normal activity, but for me it was a once in a moon typa thing

what's worse was when they kept asking me why i was never on call with them afterschool, and i had to avoid the question. and the boredom inside the house aswell. i was the king of larping lol

so, i'm 20 years old and just went through an event where i made a bunch of mistakes and without giving too much detail away, this is definitely one of the most humiliating and self-esteem destroying thing i have ever done. i don't really have much going for me right now besides being in nursing school, no friends or social life and cptsd from my upbringing and i just started ssri's. will i remember this 5 or 10 years down in the future? will it be just a funny memory?

the fact that i will live this this pit in my chest for the next 50 years.. there have been moments of happiness in my life, but it is ever so fleeting. moreover, my upbringing was a literal hellhole and my teenage years weren't better either. i'm just now entering adulthood completely alone, still in the home i grew up in, with people i resent. i fear that even if i do build a good life for myself, which i highly doubt, i will ruin it as i have failed every relationship for the past 20 years of my life, all for different reasons. regret consumes me. i had so much potential and could have built an amazing life for myself but i couldn't live up to anyone's expectations. is it my destiny to be a worthless, joke of a human being?

it's a webstie where u can order shrooms online, just tried to get some other stuff wanted to know if it's legit.

half way through episode 4 and i'm struggling.. there's just not much going on besides tony's internal conflict but everything is is pretty uninteresting

So i think it's clear that one's nen ability has a direct correlation to the personality of it's user, and while some are glaringly one dimensional (like bisky and her obsession with beauty, Leorio's power to break cancerous tumors in the medical field etc.), while others have me quite confused. Either way, I tried my best to draw some connections:

Kurapika is consumed by revenge, and chained by his own malice. He wants to take the spiders down and chain them down to hell, but doesn't realize that doing so is what causes him to suffer.

"Rock, paper, scissors" is used worldwide by children to settle disputes, and Gon has a childish and curious nature. Gon is still a child for the entirety of the series, and his journey to becoming a man is displayed, but as all of us do in the pursuit of maturity, or rather life itself, is make mistakes. I don't think he's a psychopath like people say he is, but we struggle between right and wrong as children, and can sometimes latch onto some dark feelings and lack the emotional clarity to break away from it.

Illumi's nen ability to manipulate is fitting, as he's always controlling Killua. And he's a manipulator nen type.

Hisoka has affinity to power and clings/sticks to anyone with such.

I think netero is an interesting case, because the chimera ant arc reveals him to be a vile and dark human being, opposed to the pacifistic person they once painted him as. For one, he's not willing to communicate with meruem and chooses to fight, willingly admitted that he's going to hell (from someone who prayed his whole life), wears a lucky shirt which is a fallacy to religion and the rose was sort of a dishonorable path.

Buddhism is grounded in pacifism and preaches ahimsa (non harm) yet, he is using buddah to harm meruem. Moreover, he prays instantaneously before he attacks, when prayer is inherently used as a form on introspection and not to cause harm. His nen ability just affirms the guise he wears, in order to conceal his authentic self.

Anyway, that's my best interpretation. Anything you agree/disagree on?
