I'm going to hit the gym hard asf. My closest gym was a covid centre for ages.

I'd rather a wee Jimmy Somerville gay guy as a spotter. Slavic women here are degens lol.

Sounds like you need to adjust your perspective. I can understand being upset at a person you’re close to if they let you down, but the world is what it is and it’s up to you to achieve your goals with what you’re given

It's been hard to stave off the 'it's over' thoughts. Even if it is over, it's better to die trying than give up.

If you have some space and a few thousand dollars, helps building your own gym with all the Covid BS. I put one in my garage just a rack, bench, power tower, barbell, curl bar, and dumbell set, and olympic plates. Best decision I made.

You should be angry and it's going to get worse. That's how oppression/tyranny works. Not a good time to be weak and drink to escape. Better off staying sober and getting prepared for anything. Lifting/cardio is a good way to clear your head.

You're not alone, seriously. Anyone else that isn't angry will be caught with their pants down when $hit gets even more real. Here in America the dream is over. Time for people to wake up. A vote won't change where we're headed. It's dog eat dog time.

I need to make more money/have a better career. It's not possible at 29.

Damage mitigation at this point.

My goal now is start lifting and quit booze and cigs. Only thing I can think of.

29 aint chit brah it's absolutely possible. you're just suffering from a negative outlook, it happens i don't blame you. but just know that it's absolutely possible to level up in whatever area you see fit. Lifting is a great starting point, good luck with it man

It's because only the degens are forced to migrate (mostly).

Go to an Eastern European church and met a woman who attends with her parents / family. Or relocate and spend some time in Eastern Europe.

I hope it works out for you too. I've decided I'll give until the end of this year.

I get it.

And sorry if my posts have contributed to you feeling hopeless. There hasn't been a lot of good news.

For me having information and a sense that I understand at least the general shape of events, and how the pieces fit and interact, gives me a sense of agency. It may turn out that I'm wrong more than not, but at least I have some sort of map to be going on with, even if I find in the end that I was a lousy cartographer.

My mood has improved. I think it is because though nothing is settled and I have no real plan at least my personal situation is inching forward. Relief may have dropped me into a bit of a lull of relaxation that I can't afford; but at least I'm going somewhere.

Or maybe don't stop being angry, and instead turn your anger in a useful direction?

It may seem a bit trite, but I came across this in some book when I was in my 20's and it stayed with me:

Anger is energy for change.

Don't be weak. Literally tell the world to phark off and avoid the news. Avoid the misc if you have to because everyone is posting about COVID and Russia vs Ukraine and redpill blackpill Clown World 24/7 tbh. Focus on your immediate surroundings, censor the rest. Come out of this hell with a better physique and bank account.
Avoid the misc? Maybe. YMMV. Completely putting your head in the sand could be needed sometimes. Not a long term plan though.

Ah. I remember.



For real, turning 30 hit me harder than 40.

You have time. I'm not sure where you are in life now vs. where you think you are supposed to be, but unless you have really flubbed up in a permanent way you can still make it.

Not saying my life has exactly turned out, nor that I'm too optimistic at this point. Still I was going through a divorce around 33 [no kids] and at 35 I was remarried and having a baby.

Men have more time on the clock. Maybe you have to get creative. Maybe it doesn't look the way you thought it would.

But you still have time...
