Despite my grumbling, happy to have 4 interviews today, and a call from legal team to find out what can be done about expunging my record
Got some good financial news yesterday which takes some of the stress off my shoulders
Fluffy butt as per usual
Meeting tomorrow with the GM of the company that gave me the offer so I can discuss the police check. Hoping tomorrow I’m grateful for a job
Good morning Bacon, A smiling enthusiastic face for 4 interviews today which I am absolutely looking forward to (hint hint).
Warm regards, Simon
I miss it so much, but got priced out a long time ago. If this job comes through, I’ll be moving back asap.
I’m on the other side of the fence.
Heartbreak and wasted time is a small price to pay for finding someone to share your life and love with.
Our society values individualism to such a degree, that the idea of sacrificing something for someone you love seems unfair or that you’re “losing” something.
I’ve noticed it with people I’ve dated that are western. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just different.
But it never sat well with me. Seems a bit transactional…
Admittedly my culture is different, so that’s probably why I don’t mind compromise. In a way, it’s an expected part of life. And so we work with that instead of fighting it.
That said, there are fundamental aspects of who I am that I cannot compromise on. Because if I did, I’d end up resenting the person I’m supposed to love.
/mild rant
100% agree. Life is full of compromise.
Grateful that my headache is gone for the moment
For fluffybutt
And for the 4 interviews I have this week. With any luck, on Tuesday I’ll be grateful to have a job
I figured that vaccines and lockdowns would be the thing that brought them across to the right. And it’s not surprising that the right welcomed them with open arms to swell their numbers.
You make an interesting point about fitting in. For me, it resonates that I would have a disproportionate perception of not fitting in. The 2 natural communities I would belong to, I don’t want anything to do with. One of them being Alcoholics Anonymous.
I generally keep my past to myself in real life. Which creates a sort of glass wall between myself and others. I feel that the “hippie” community would be less inclined to judge me harshly for the life I’ve lived previously, than say, the average person.
But you’ve given me something to consider. Thank you :)
I’m playing this game called Breach Wanderers. It’s like Slay the Spire, but more variety. I’m not usually into this kind of game, but it’s really good and kind of addictive lol
I also play a game called Triple Town. I don’t think it’s on the play store anymore. If you check it out and like it, I’ll send you the installation file. Really, really good.
Happy Birthday!!! :)
The worst part of a migraine, is when it subsides, you’re in a state of hypervigilance in case it returns.
Bed, cat, iPad games and feeling sorry myself for today I think lol
Awesome! Appreciate it mate. That’s one of the reasons I want to move back to Brunswick after 30 years away. So much interesting stuff to suss out.
As I replied further up the thread, it’s an investigative process. I used to be a part of that community a very long time ago before I chose to throw my life away for about 10 years.
I grew up in a muslim household, and if people knew what went on in those families, they would understand when I say I don’t generally associate with that crowd. Similar to how you feel about Buddhists.
I can’t speak for the predatory behaviour, because back in the early 2000’s it was all bush doofs and lsd. Or maybe I didn’t notice.
I’m surprised to hear that a portion of that community has turned towards the right wing. I hadn’t heard that before. That’s actually fucking insane. Maybe they’re not as anti-racist as I had assumed.
As for the “woo-woo”, I don’t particularly subscribe to much of that, but I am agnostic, and find that crowd at least willing to discuss things around that idea. Can’t say I’ve had any luck finding people into that sort of thing in the circles I’ve travelled the last 8 or so years. I don’t subscribe to Identity Politics, so I’m generally unwelcome in Progressive circles despite being left wing myself.
Appreciate the info though.
I was just interested in gaining a better understanding of it myself. I’m aware of the “woo-woo” crunch insanity that proliferates in those circles. I’m agnostic, and the only people who I can find that are of a similar persuasion tend to collect at those sorts of events.
Before the “fall”, that used to be my community. I can’t say I belived everything that was popular in that world, but I enjoyed the open minded-ness of the people I met through it. I ended up engaged to someone from that world.
The “Metal Community” here is pretty fucking racist, despite what some may say. So I don’t do so well there. That’s the only other subculture that I would like to be a part of.
The new age hippies are pretty chill when it comes to race.
As it currently stands, I belong no-where. And I’m capable of sniffing out snake oil salesmen/women.
Is anyone here into modern spirituality stuff? Was supposed to go to this cool thing in Brunswick today, like an expo, but I can’t because of the migraine.
Been really trying to find that community and I’m pretty heartbroken that I can’t go to this expo 😔😔😔
I remember when I got rid of my Arab beard a few years ago.
Never looked back.
I’m generally in mixed race relationships. I hate pandering. That’s pretty much it.
Though I still get a mix of incredulous and or strange looks when I’m out and about with an Anglo partner. Usually from other anglos.
At the same time, worrying about what colour the people are in ads is pretty low on my list of concerns. Nothing personal.
Nervous about the meeting tomorrow. Can’t stop thinking about it.
Going to have an early night I think.
Hopefully will have some good news tomorrow. Hopefully.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
