Been struggling for a while; really resonated with a lecture about Autistic Burnout
2023.06.07 22:00 WorthInvestigator433 Been struggling for a while; really resonated with a lecture about Autistic Burnout
Hi. I’ve had a lot to think about the past few days, and am seeking advice/answers/support/perspectives/clarity. Hopefully this is a good place to ask about this. Sorry for brick wall, TLDR at the bottom.
After graduating college in 2022, I moved and started a full-time job in September. Since then, I’ve been going through a very difficult phase in life. I’ve felt like when that unfamiliar phase of life started that a metaphorical mountain of shit was dropped on me all at once, and that since then, I have been drowning in it and trying very hard to slowly climb out of it. I returned to Therapy on January (finding a new one in a new state sucks). Some other context of my life circumstances: I work for a tech company in a new city, and I have no interest in my job; I live alone there (for the first time, turns out I’m terrible at that) and my job is fairly remote. I’ve been traveling a lot the past few months, working in other places where I have friends, and trying to live more presently in that space instead of at work. I had already decided that I plan to stick it out through my 1st year (one year on a resume and signing bonus), and doing this helped me get to a more stable place to a point, though in many ways it’s probably made some things worse, bc it’s harder to focus on my job and many other responsibilities; it’s been more of an escape.
Since I returned to therapy, I do feel like I’ve been slowly slowly improving and am in a better place now than where I was, but it often feels like 2 steps forward 3 steps back. I feel like there’s a million balls in the air, and when I try to focus to lift one of them higher, 2 more come falling back down. Since January, I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, in addition to having been diagnosed with anxiety and OCD in the past 2-3 years. Therapy has helped in a lot of ways, especially earlier, and I’ve learned a lot about myself and how stuff like my upbringing affects me today. But more recently, I feel like therapy has not been too effective. I’ve been trying to work on my executive functioning, but it feels like no matter what I do I’ve not been able to improve. Many things that I used to do automatically are so difficult now or have gone completely out the window. I’ve overall felt very lost and overwhelmed. I really haven’t received much advice that I’ve resonated with or that helps me.
The reasons for me failing to get my work done are deeper than a lot of the ADHD type symptoms that I’ve experienced throughout my life. Normally doing work I don’t want to do is hard, but once there’s an approaching deadline and a fire under my ass, I’m the king of getting it all done. Now though, bringing myself to work is incredibly difficult deadline or no. Part of me really tries to convince myself that I should get work done, but it feels like a deeper more fundamental part of me completely rejects it. Like I truly don’t believe doing that work is more valuable than some other thing I could do, and trying to force myself to live in the framework that supposedly if I could would allow me to succeed in my job and other endeavors is pretty much impossible. More recently it’s been more extreme; I’ll go a couple days taking way too much adderall and hardly sleeping at all because I gotta finish this amount of work that’s reasonable to compete in a day, and then I will somehow not have done hardly any work that whole time. Even though I’m sacrificing my physical health so much to do so.
The other day, I came across a short video about autistic burnout, which lead me to a 1.5 hour long lecture called “Transition to Adulthood – Autistic Burnout and the Costs of Coping and Passing” by Dora Raymaker. This felt like an epiphany. For the entire lecture, I felt like she was describing exactly what I had been feeling, and related with pretty much every single bullet point. She put into words how I’ve felt the last 8 months, and gave me a feeling of incredible clarity. I felt I immediately understood what was going on in my brain, like suddenly it all made sense. Before, I felt like there was a million separate things all falling a part in my life, and to get them all back into place and rebuild a sustainable life was so daunting, whereas now I feel I see it more clearly that it’s all connected. Like a fog has been lifted from in front of my brain, everything clicked.
I even sent the video to my dad and called him because I was so happy to finally be understood in what I’m going through, because I’d been talking to him about it so much, but never felt like I could effectively communicate it until now. I can’t overemphasize the innate feeling of understanding I’ve felt since, like it’s night and day. So I ask, where do I go from here? If I am going through Autistic Burnout, I guess that means I’m Autistic. I’ve given serious thought to it the past year, but this has brought me to the point where I clearly need to act on this. And here I am. I want to talk to my therapist about it, but he’s on vacation for most of the month. Maybe I can contact my old one, or maybe I should contact and Autism specialist directly.
I also want to know what you guys think. I obviously don’t want to draw any incorrect conclusions. And honestly, I’m really frightened that I am incorrect. I feel so much clarity in what I’m going through, whereas before I felt so lost, so I’m afraid to find out I’m wrong and go back to where I was. Is there another explanation for resonating so deeply with every aspect of this lecture? Honestly just any reply to this with any insight or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I need to bounce this off people in the autistic community, not just my friends and family. Sorry for wall of text. Much love.

2023.06.07 21:58 Ok_Butterscotch_4581 Community Standards Meeting
I Just got an email saying I need to meet with someone in the office of community standards because I was hooking up with someone in a bathroom (ya ik im embarrassed about it really not the smartest move i've ever made but moving on). I've never had any infractions, and am a good student and am freaking out about it going on my transcript, or getting suspended, or worse. It says I was in violation of the disorderly conduct policy- I don't know what to expect in this meeting, and would really appreciate any help or advice

Question inspired by Steve Forbes.
Forbes just said in his press conference today that Hunter Sallis' family barber back in Nebraska played for Forbes when he was the HC at Southwestern Community College in a place called Creston, Iowa (pop: 7,536) back in the early 90s. I knew the guy was well-connected, but damn!

2023.06.07 21:38 Witty-System-6069 26 [M4F] California/Anywhere. Searching For A Relationship.
Anyway, I live in California too, a state that I’m proud to call home and hopefully can live here the rest of my life too. Anyway, about me. I love to write poems, but people probably disagree with me that what I write isn’t really poetry. That’s understandable, people have different likes. The majority of what I write is dark/sad/somber, but I promise it’s not a reason to be concerned. I also write about love, hope, essentially all good feelings life has to offer.
I have an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts (Arts and Letters Emphasis) and a Certificate of Achievement in Communication Studies from Community College; and a Bachelors Degree in Anthropology from the university level.
Long story short, I’ve never been in a relationship before. I focused on my well-being in the six years I spent in college and searched for my personal values and that of what I’d like to find in a woman I may consider being in a relationship with. My personal values now are kindness, empathy, understanding. These are the 3 important values I hope a woman I meet has too. At the end of the day, we’re all people trying to get by in life and succeed as we see right. We all deserve to experience love and happiness, don’t we? I think that we do. I hope to meet a woman that believes in this too. Ultimately, I have a lot of love to give to the right woman. 😌
If this matters, I’m…
-6’4
-165 pounds and on skinny side
-Black hair and brown eyes
When sending me a message or chat, please introduce yourself and not just say “hello.” I’d like to learn a little about you. I hope to meet a woman that’s at least 21. And yes, I’m fine talking to older woman too.

2023.06.07 21:34 gucciminhCCCP Is anyone here in a relationship where there is a HUGE difference in class background?
This isn’t a breakup post or anything dramatic like that so sorry if that’s what you were hoping for. just kind of looking to create a discussion because I fuck with y’all and maybe someone has some advice idk.
context: (M, 26, USA) spent the last 10 years barely scraping by. I had to run away from home when i was 17 because my (unemployed) parents were stealing the money i earned working at chipotle. Well it was being stolen from me anyway, the only reason i got the job was so that I could keep the power and internet bill on, so that i could do my virtual/dual enrollment classes and apply for colleges. But then they started just blowing it all on Heroin :/ Couch surfed, slept in my car, and eventually was taken in for a while by an extremely wonderful and loving (now ex) girlfriend. Shout out Samwell, Samantha, Kelly, Ben, Peter Cole, Nick, and Adrian. Would probably be dead without y’all. Sorry to ramble, im doing better now, and i don’t need your pity, that’s not the point of this post so sorry if it came across a little… gay lol.
My beloved GF of 4 years (25, Brazilian and gorgeous, way out of my league) comes from OLD brazilian aristocracy and military money.for scale, her family owns some 30+ car dealerships. They don’t own a jet outright, but what i’ve learned is that a lot of rich people go in on the cost of a jet together, because unless you’re using it everyday, it doesn’t make financial sense with the fuel cost/maintenance etc.
So yeah, this stuff is intimidating as fuck to me. I’ve dated girls who’s families lived in gated communities, but not one that OWNED MULTIPLE gated communities outright lol. Its not super relevant to our relationship dynamic, but i’m a communist, and even at my lowest, i never felt shame or embarrassment to come from a gritty working class background. And she’s a truly great woman, she would never try to make me feel shame or humiliation. But it happens accidentally, little micro-aggressions . I try to explain to her as best i can so that she can avoid situations like that, because i know she feels bad when it happens, but i also have to grit my teeth and pick my battles, because no woman would find it attractive to be all “woe is me” all the time. And on top of that, i have to avoid falling into the stereotype of just being a communist because i’m poor and bitter. The truth is, i first got into Marxism WELL before my family fell into poverty, when i was still in a private school.
I imagine that a similar dynamic emerges in interracial relationships where one person is White and the other is POC. I’m a white guy, and I’m aware that as much I try to understand racism, i’ve always had the great fortune of never truly being on the receiving end of any racism. So that’s kind of how it feels when i try to explain my stuff to my GF. Like trying to explain color to a blind person, or music to the deaf. They can try as hard as they want to understand, even in totally good faith, but they’ll never truly get it.
When we were in college, and there was still the puppy love/honeymoon phase, it was a little easier to avoid these types of issues. But the more time passes, the more it wears on me; especially now as we enter the “real” part of our lives. I’m proposing to her in November, we talk about kids and where we want to settle down. Life comes at you fast, and the inherent inequality between us puts pressure on me. What especially kills me is that, even if i won the Powerball tomorrow, i would always still be “new money” from a white trash background, a wise man once said: “ Even if you in a Benz, you still a n—-a in a coupe”
Her family is more or less aware that I’m working class and come from a messed up family, but I definitely get the impression that, in communicating with them, she embellishes the truth about how well i’m doing. And i don’t have a problem with that, i’d prefer they not think of me as a total loser. But it kills me when, for example, her dad offers to completely pay for me to come with them on their summer vacation to europe, But i just can’t afford to miss work, let alone justify renewing my passport etc.
would love to hear from the both the poor and the Rich people who are in relationships like mine. Maybe it would give me some helpful perspective

2023.06.07 21:34 jaded_victra_julii Sororities & Mental Health
Hello! I hope this post is allowed (I read the rules so I think I’m ok but my apologies if I mis-read…not advertising a service but looking for advice!)
I am a therapist and am hoping to connect with sororities in the fall in my state so that I can provide free presentations at chapter events. I am also hoping to get my name out there in the community for women of this age group (not via reddit, tho!) for some referrals as I have LOVED working with sorority girls in my practice so far. I was in a sorority in college and it was quite beneficial for my mental health! Although rush was pretty intense for me. Anyways, I feel like this might be a great way to connect with a larger group of women in this age group while also provide some free info on mental health concerns for young women in a fun setting.
Any suggestions for who to reach out/how to reach out to the communities in my area to set up chapter presentations or other events once the fall starts? I think it also might be great to connect with those running Rush in the fall as this might be a stressful time for a lot of great women! TIA

2023.06.07 21:24 mxsa2 Struggling with quality of online courses
I’m sorry this is so long, just feeling a lot of pressure this semester and don’t know here to turn. I’m a cybersecurity major, and have been feeling much more stressed this semester (I’m taking summer courses to catch up on the gap year I took after high school) as I’m finding it increasingly difficult to learn in my web development class. Each week all we get for a lecture is a wall of text, in addition to more reading from our textbooks. We haven’t had any videos/video lectures to learn from in this class, and my professor barely provides coherent/helpful feedback or participates in the weekly discussions. Last week they only posted one response, which was to the first student who posted. Additionally, this professor only does email and phone calls for help, and doesn’t do typical zoom office hours.
Whenever I send an email with a question the answer feels lazy, as responses often are very short, and entirely unhelpful.
Altogether this means that we get basically zero interaction with the professor, while many of the students (including myself) have zero experience in html or css. It also doesn’t help that this isn’t the greatest college, and classes are made up of working adults that aren’t fully dedicated to their education (this bleeds into assignments that require collaboration, like discussions).
As result my grades have been suffering, as it’s at times difficult to find helpful resources online with the software we are using. Before this semester I was an A student, and I don’t know where to go from here, as I’m trying to keep up my grades so I can transfer to a better university in-person. This is all while having to juggle my health and classes, as I’m disabled.
I’ve taken online courses at a community college with great professors, so I’m thinking of returning there in the meantime, but can’t help but feel extreme frustration spending $4,000 per 12 credit semester for what seems like a poor educational experience.
Since enrollment I’ve had two professors that participated in discussions, did pre-recorded video lectures, and/or zoom office hours. This made programming infinitely more digestible as a student with no prior experience.
I guess I just want to know if this is a common experience in online courses, or if anyone has any advice as to achieving success in similar scenarios. If anyone has experience in a similar field, I’m also wondering how much better an in-person experience might be in comparison. Any insight would be greatly appreciated :)
TL;DR: Web development class is being taught with entirely text based resources, almost no interaction with the professor. My grades are suffering this semester as result, and I’m worried about being able to transfer to a better university.

Hey, have any of you guys experienced certain controlling things, large or small, obvious or subtle, that your family does even though you're an adult?
When I was in college, and even after when I was still living at home and/or still financially dependent, my folks pulled the "remember you're not independent; we still pay your bills; you're under our roof" yada yada yada. This wouldn't happen too often. My parents weren't bonkers per se. But they did the frustrating stuff that most conservative, gen x and boomer generations pull.
One time, they got mad that I didn't put my hand over my heart during the national anthem at a highschool football game. And they basically issued a thinly veiled threat that they would kick me out of the house and cut me off if I kept doing stuff like that.
For my sister, she and her then boyfriend wanted to drive up to my grandparents' vacation home at the beach. That was quickly vetoed because "absolutely not. you're shacking up." And granted, if it's your house, sure, you can do whatever you want with it. But how does two unmarried people staying together harm you?
I guess maybe they would argue that by letting them sleep in the same bed under a roof they own, they're participating in what they view as a sin? I guess?...... But still. At the time when I was conservative, it seems logical. But now looking back, it just seems like another backhanded roundabout way of controlling an adult's personal decisions.
They effectively disenfranchised my sister from family gatherings. Like literally if she was married, that would never have been an issue. How is that making her (a former christian, now the unbeliever who has "fallen away") want to be a christian? How is that showing sacrificial love?
Just seems like the feeling of being right and "standing on truth" is more important than actually connecting and inviting people into community.
I still love my fam and enjoy visiting. It's just tough because living away is kinda the only way I enforce boundaries. Much easier to disengage from an argument through text than have to deal with it when you either live down the street, or worse, down the hall.
One day I hope that my family is spiritually and emotionally mature enough to handle these hard conversations about how they have hurt me. But last time I tried to do that, they hit me with the "oh I guess I'm a terrible parent; after all I've done for you; you're not a parent so you don't understand; you'll change your mind someday" yada yada.
Uncle Roger Hiyah noise Conservative evangelical families man, haha.

2023.06.07 21:22 KeeganTroye [Event] The State of Rwanda 2024-2026
Rwandan Statistics
Refugees2024 – 132,305
2026 – 182 231
Due to pledged Rwandan support and increased hostilities in the Kivu region, as well as issues in Burundi stemming from tensions between the governments of Rwanda and Burundi resulting in lowered service delivery in Burundi there was an increase of 49,926 refugees into Rwanda.
Energy Production
2024 – 421 MW
2026 – 515 MW
2025 saw large gains in power predominantly from the diverting of energy from the Rusizi III Hydropower dam from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi but further energy production improvements were limited with long-term energy plans aimed further ahead.
% of Agriculture
2024 – 75% non-productive subsistence farming
2026 – 71% non-productive subsistence farming
Current non-aggressive policies have proven ineffective at reducing subsistence farming.
Projects Ongoing
- Peat to Methane Power Renovations enter their final year– as the existing infrastructure is already in place and the technology is well developed and inexpensive estimates put completion by Q1 2027.
- North Akanyaru Peat-Fired Power Plant broke ground in late 2024 under development by the Punj Lloyd Group (PLG) since then construction has moved forward sporadically due to intermittent funding over concerns between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Construction is once again moving forward and should be operational by Q2 2028.
- More successfully the Bugarama Natural Gas Power Plant has received positive private investment reaching 30% completion it will be a landmark in independent energy for Rwanda and Africa as a continent.
- The Kigali Electrification Plan which started off slowly has sped up dramatically as more and more infrastructure and local logistics chains have expanded with the growing demand. Government has maintained current investment and electrification as of Q1 2026 is at a very impressive 34% of public transport, mostly due to the growing confidence in Rwandan power distribution.
- After one year since full construction has moved ahead on the Green City Kigali project the challenges on what is not just an African first but a field lacking even internationally has led to hiccups delaying the completion of the project to 2030. Foreign and tourist interest has renewed government confidence to build two more simultaneous expansions at half the size of the main project due to be completed by 2033.
- The second and final phase of the Kigali Urban Transport Improvement (KUTI) aims to finish construction by Q4 2026 as the city has seen a heavy infrastructure overhaul to both support the electrification of public transport and also push toward non-motorized transport facilities through various international charities aiming to distribute bicycles to the poor.
- With funding from Libertad Ventures the Tanzania-Rwanda Isaka–Kigali Standard Gauge Railway began construction in late 2024– the standard gauge rail which is planned to stretch from the inland container depot at Isaka, in the Kahama Rural District of Shinyaga Region Tanzania for 571 kilometers through Rusumo and ending finally in Kigali. Time to completion remains on track for four years of construction putting the project at halfway to completion.
Projects Completed
- With the upgrades to nearly a dozen hospitals around the country to improve access to to teaching facilities and spur the creation of healthcare professionals under the National Strategy for Health Professions Development (2030) the government managed to hit all targets on overhauling the medical facilities and with foreign Chinese funding providing the necessary equipment and technical training for local staff. The Minister of Health Dr Daniel Ngamije instituted a new educational programme for nurses and doctors to pursue part-time studies of healthcare fields– pointing out the difficulty in developing nations to dedicate the years of study without the financial support in more developed nations this programme has been designed to allow and support Rwandans in their efforts to financially support their educations.
- Included in these upgrades is the renovation of the Masaka District Hospital in cooperation with Rwanda’s Chinese allies the hospital has finally opened its doors tripling in beds it can now more fully service the community with the introduction of various specialities in the hospital. The government has already asked the People’s Republic of China to consider a second renovation to the hospital with the goal of adding an additional 700 beds and providing state-of-the-art medical technology that will make Rwanda a regional center for medical treatment in Africa.
- The MIDIMAR Agriculture Cooperative reached 90% penetration in refugee camps across the country bringing these refugees into a government-sponsored assistance programme– this has allowed these small agricultural holdings and livestock to use modern techniques and development to evolve beyond subsistence for those involved. Magofarms and Eza Neza Ltd two start-ups engaged in proof-of-concept work in the refugee communities have now begun scaling up development on a national scale.
- Through the start-up grants offered by MIDIMAR and the UN Environment Programme’s Share the Road Initiative and the Global Green Growth Institute multiple local companies have begun producing Recycled Bicycle companies using plastic waste to provide cheap biodegradable bicycles to the various refugee camps with companies moving to production in Kigali to service the poor with transportation in conjunction with the Kigali Urban Transport Improvement projects success at providing safe non-motorized road access for the city.
- The RZipper National Drone Delivery Partnership has been a massive success in urban areas providing fast and affordable deliveries without relying on and tearing down local road infrastructure with heavy delivery vehicles– the second generation of ZipLine drones are more economical and nearly silent and the addition of the Rwandan surveillance system which has been controversial has proven to be invaluable to law enforcement agencies who have begun integrating the constant air surveillance into their everyday use. Viebeg Medical has provided their logistical artificial intelligence framework services in conjunction with RZipper’s medical contracts keeping costs low and medicine and medical technology constantly up-to-date and stocked as necessary reducing overhead immensely.
New Projects
- Pushing forward the new Safe-At-Night Initiative, Inspector General Dan Munyuza announced that it is now a national priority to ensure Kigali is the safest nation in Africa addressing crime and inequality in a fair but just practice. The Safe-At-Night Initiative would see a reorganization from the ground up on Rwanda’s approach to crime starting with investment in the Ruhengeri National Police College to add a further development programme that would be required all officers ranked at Captain or higher excluding Senior Management to undergo a one-year advanced training course to be developed in conjunction with Rwanda’s international allies– the course will focus on community engagement, corruption, internal management, and public perception. The police force will be expanded by 25% of its current pre-reorganization manpower with 10% of officers to be moved to Social And Welfare Services as joint coordination officers with both the police department and Social and Welfare. As a pilot project various departments in Kigali will be receiving non-optional body cameras for non-commissioned officers equaling roughly 30% of the police force in Kigali. All electric public transport will be equipped with new security observation equipment and a new surveillance task force will be created to more efficiently monitor the new systems.
- In the agriculture industry Minister Ildephonse Musafiri has announced that following the success of the MIDMAR Agriculture Cooperative the government will be implementing a National Agriculture Cooperative (NAC) that will be slowly phased in over the following year wherein all private agriculture projects not registered as commercial entities will be placed under local government cooperatives to incorporate these entities into the nation’s GDP and provide support to scale the operations above unproductive subsistence-level farms which currently accounts for 75% of agricultural production
- With the added funding from Libertad Ventures for the Tanzania-Rwanda Isaka–Kigali Standard Gauge Railway, Rwanda will pursue former independent financing options for the Kigali-Rubavu Extension that will allow future expansion into the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo should relationships improve. In addition to improve infrastructure capabilities in the area an RZipper Depo facility will be built to assist with humanitarian aid given the highly unstable nature of the area.
Elections
The 2024 elections for Rwanda concluded on October 12th at the 23rd Rwandese Patriotic Front congress where President Kagame earned 96.4% of the vote being elected for his fourth term as President elect of Rwanda-- Kagame who has served as President for nearly thirty years spoke to his party following the confirmation of his elections and stating that this will be his last term. Kagame had already spoken that he did not intend to be ruler-for-life when congress voted to allow the president to run for a fourth term in 2017.2023.06.07 21:21 thetissuepaper Cannot take a math senior year
I have already taken every single math my school requires involving Geometry, Algebra 1 and 2. I have already taken AP Calculus AB and BC. I have already taken AP Statistics. I have already taken AP Computer Science A. I can't take another math class at my local community college because I would have to go in person to do that. This is a problem because it doesn't fit my schedule since I can't just go back and forth to school and math class and I don't even have a license yet and I have working parents who can't drive me . The school doesn't allow people to drive their friends. Could I take AP Physics I? I hope the school counselor could put me in there because they're kinda strict on schedule changes and you have to have a damn good reason

 | I was looking at the required documents I'll need to bring when I go in for my initial permit. I was planning to use my birth certificate and school ID w/ my school transcript (that has my dob) for the 6 points of identification. I wanted to also use my transcript as proof of residency. Would I be able to do that? Use one document for two proofs? Here's the infographic for reference. submitted by j_h3cc to newjersey [link] [comments] NJMVC 6 Point ID Verification Flyer |
2023.06.07 21:18 Not76 Does anyone know of any Culinary Arts Programs near Huntsville?
Apparently there are no culinary programs in Huntsville. The programs at Drake and Calhoun have been phased out. The closest I can really find is Northeast Community College and that’s an hour and 20 minutes away.

2023.06.07 21:17 Geologist2010 [E] For those who are in or have completed the Texas A&M graduate statistics program, how would you rate it?
I am a geologist currently working in environmental consulting. I do some statistics in my job and was looking into completing a graduate certificate in statistics, which my company would pay for and encouraged me to look into after I brought it up. I'm currently looking into the Texas A&M program and the UPenn program. There is already a thread about the UPenn program so I wanted to ask about the Texas program.
Regrettably, I did not complete calculus or linear algebra during my undergraduate program. However, I have worked through the single variable calculus coursework on MIT OCW, so I'm confident I could pass Calculus I-III if I were to take it at a community college, but that would cost me at a minimum $4,000 out of pocket (including linear algebra). I'm evaluating my options.

2023.06.07 21:08 Flyingcheesegator A genuine question for the lovelies out there.
Howdy hey, so I have this HUGE dilemma recently about the upcoming GG live show. In September the boys are coming to a city near me and I really really really want to get some tickets for the event. The issue that I have is to do with myself and family members, I'll go into detail below.
Okay, so the Game Grumps have been a part of my life for a very long time now, inspiring me in my creative endeavors and dreams, some of the things they often talk about really just inspire me to keep pushing. They are a part of my life almost daily, usually in the background while I work on other things. I've never thought about going to a live show before, with their recent USA and Canada tour announced, that's kinda changed.
What's holding me back, and maybe it's silly, is that I'm not independent. I still live with my parents while I attend college and they don't really know much about what I often listen to. So I'm finding it hard to come out there and tell them I want to go to this live event hosted by these people you've never heard of before.
Another struggle I have is that if I did go, I don't exactly have someone to go with. I'm a very quiet and to myself sort of person, and my parents definitely won't be happy with just me going. I do know someone in the area, but it's been awhile since I've seen them, I'm not sure if they'd go or if I should go with them.
Like I mentioned before, I don't go out to events much, I'm almost always wanting to stay at home working in my own things. To me, being at that show seems like it would be one of my happiest moments knowing that I'm there with my heroes basically. Not sure if anyone else understands that feeling.
Not sure how long tickets are available for these things, I'm looking at the Grand Rapids show. Maybe there would be another live tour soon, but they probably wouldn't be back in my area soon, huh?
I don't mean to get super personal with this situation I have, but I want to ask what others think. Hopefully there are some similar minded people that understand what I'm feeling in the GG community.
Thank you very much for the read, hopefully I did alright writing this. And thanks Dan for the "Lovelies" nickname for everyone, I like it. Let me know what you all think and/or anything else I should know about the live shows.

2023.06.07 21:06 milkman027 I'm stuck, but free.? I have no idea what kind of job I can/should be shooting for & I would appreciate just any ideas thrown out there that I can further look into.
Hey guys, I feel bad for asking, but I don't know what to do. I'm a college grad that wants nothing to do w/ what he majored in. So now I'm looking for allll the different kinds of jobs out there & something that I could pursue. I really don't want to go to school again, but I'm not super opposed to it. If I have to take classes for a certain job, I would prefer them to be a minimum or online. I don't mind having to do different certifications or really anything. I just don't know /what/ I want to do. So here are some of my personal interests.
I'm interested in environmentalism. I care about the well being of our planet & would like to work towards making a difference. I would like to help w/ grassroots efforts to better local environments & build from the bottom up. I know that starting w/ one's local flora & helping to ensure that that is healthy leads to cascading effects for the rest of the local environment. I don't have much knowledge on environmentalism but would certainly love to learn more. Any jobs that work in this field would be great.
I'm interested in health, but fuckkk working for the typical medical industry. I'm really interested in nutrition & have some base knowledge. I'm interested in teaching others about health & really building each other up.
I'm interested in community (but I suck at being with community :\ ). So like with environmentalism & really just about everything hear, I would /love/ to be able to spread & share knowledge from myself & others. I want to help build networks of information & tools & infrastructure that community can use & build up from.
I'm interested in herbalism, but unsure of what jobs I could seek with that. Gardening / sustainable agriculture.
I'm really interested in learning more about & implementing (at least in my own space) TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge).
I'm enjoy being / working outdoors. Working out in the field. Some sort of tour guide. Working to clean up National Parks.
I've considered getting some types of certifications that could allow me to do technology work that would allow me to work from home (allowing me to possibly be mobile). I don't know /squat/ about computers, but would learn. This isn't a passion of mine, but sometimes a job is just a job.
I'm interested in political education & (and again, sharing that information).
I used to want to be a teacher growing up. Or a social worker. Therapist. & really these are all options that I would still highly consider. I just really don't want to / have the means to be going back to school. At least full time.
I worked at a coffee shop during undergrad & really really enjoyed it actually. But the nearest coffee shop to me is 50 mins away & starbucks FT positions were only 20-30 hrs a week.
Working at a library seems /lovely/ but again, I don't have the means to be going back to school for it quite yet at least.
I'm just curious what jobs are out there. I can figure out how to get to that particular job, but I would just love to hear from anybody working in any related fields what jobs they know of. I haven't gotten very far w/ my own research & would like to hear from a diverse community on what they know/see.
Thank you to anyone who reads & responds.
Postscript: I may need to remake this post..

2023.06.07 21:05 mxsa2 Am I justified in being frustrated with quality of online courses?
I’m sorry this is so long, just feeling a lot of pressure this semester and don’t know here to turn. I’m a cybersecurity major, and have been feeling much more stressed this semester (I’m taking summer courses to catch up on the gap year I took after high school) as I’m finding it increasingly difficult to learn in my web development class. Each week all we get for a lecture is a wall of text, in addition to more reading from our textbooks. We haven’t had any videos/video lectures to learn from in this class, and my professor barely provides coherent/helpful feedback or participates in the weekly discussions. Last week they only posted one response, which was to the first student who posted. Additionally, this professor only does email and phone calls for help, and doesn’t do typical zoom office hours.
Whenever I send an email with a question the answer feels lazy, as responses often are very short, and entirely unhelpful.
Altogether this means that we get basically zero interaction with the professor, while many of the students (including myself) have zero experience in html or css. It also doesn’t help that this isn’t the greatest college, and classes are made up of working adults that aren’t fully dedicated to their education (this bleeds into assignments that require collaboration, like discussions).
As result my grades have been suffering, as it’s at times difficult to find helpful resources online with the software we are using. Before this semester I was an A student, and I don’t know where to go from here, as I’m trying to keep up my grades so I can transfer to a better university in-person. This is all while having to juggle my health and classes, as I’m disabled.
I’ve taken online courses at a community college with great professors, so I’m thinking of returning there in the meantime, but can’t help but feel extreme frustration spending $4,000 per 12 credit semester for what seems like a poor educational experience.
Since enrollment I’ve had two professors that participated in discussions, did pre-recorded video lectures, and/or zoom office hours. This made programming infinitely more digestible as a student with no prior experience.
I guess I just want to know if this is a common experience in online courses, or if anyone has any advice as to achieving success in similar scenarios. If anyone has experience in a similar field, I’m also wondering how much better an in-person experience might be in comparison. Any insight would be greatly appreciated :)
TL;DR: Web development class is being taught with entirely text based resources, almost no interaction with the professor. My grades are suffering this semester as result, and I’m worried about being able to transfer to a better university.
