  • I was put in IOP for 6 weeks early this year due to severe depression, I couldn’t take care of myself and I was at risk of losing everything and killing myself.

    IOP was helpful in the sense that I participated in group therapy 6 hours a day, 5 days a week which exposed me to other individuals also struggling. It taught me that I was not alone in my suffering, and that it is okay that I am struggling. IOP gave me lots of tools and coping mechanisms to assist getting through bad times.

    However, the most important thing is that IOP gave me was the opportunity to step away from life and catch my breath, which was invaluable and it gave me time to reflect on my current situation and how to change it. I think I would have killed myself otherwise.

    Now, I understand that my Job is eating my alive and I need to find a new one. Problem is, the job market is fucked. So, i’m going back to school to reskill and restart.




  • Thats the brilliance of it; he ran an inpopular platform intended to help the rich get richer and simultaneously fought a culture war that gained him the support of the massive, white, rural, uneducated class.

    A side anecdote: I have an acquatance of a friend who is both Brown, and a Trump Supporter - I was baffled and couldn’t understand why they would support an openly racist candidate.

    Well, turned out they were from a family of Old money out of Dubai and Trumps tax and business policies put in place GREATLY assisted their family real estate company. I think they tripled their revenue in 4 years, but i’m not entirely certain - I’ve just picked it up through context.







  • I could be wrong, but I firmly believe that the dismantling of Social Media is an indicator of the state of the economy, instead of being intentional. I believe that investors are hurting for money and are pushing platforms to turn a profit at all costs which is hurting the industry. Additionally, This appears to be happening elsewhere in other industries too but is manifesting into other symptoms. However, I think that the Tech and Entertainment industries will be the first to “Fall” (for lack of a better word) as these industries are more of a luxury rather than a necessity.
