I have been there years ago when i was a child.

I was in the Blue Mosque when I was in Istanbul....but didn’t get a chance to go to Hagia Sophia.

I would have liked to have crossed the bridge to Asia.

^ Istanbul is such a beautiful city to visit. I don't live there but it is close to my city and have some family members who live there so we visit often. I wish i could visit again soon.

Sometimes, not all the time, I feel depressed when coming to WP. Fortunately most of the time I enjoy coming here and it's worth my time. But sometimes some threads make me become depressed about being on the spectrum, especially with a lot of this ''NTs vs Aspies'' talk. It's like ''NTs do A, Aspies do B''. It makes me feel more isolated from other people than what I really am in day to day life. Or people on WP will try to convince me that no NT is my friend and that they're all fake and are just put on this earth to lie and emotionally manipulate and bully, and if I say that my friends aren't like that then I get called ''gullible''. I try to tell myself that a lot of people on WP have trust issues. I can sometimes be fooled at first by the narcissist type of NTs, but that's if they're really good liars that can come across as really nice at first. But these are people who fool most people and are good at it.

^People who unthinkingly use binaries are anti-intellectual.
Life is rarely black & white.
Simples.
Ignore them.
Their opinions aren't worth listening to, imo.

A wise skunk once said:
"Life is simple, for simple people."

I hate the fact that I can't have a quiet moment without thinking of KMS half the time. I don't even know if I am actually feeling suicidal, or if it's just an intrusive thought at this point, or both. I am just so tired of being physically and mentally exhausted. The only reason why I've even gotten out of bed and stayed awake the past few days is to take care of the dog my mom got, which is honestly stressing me out more since I didn't expect to need to adjust to having one right now.

My inability to focus on things at times.

Different types of smokers and what they say:-

The self-soothing smoker
I smoke because I'm stressed

The denier
This smoker's cough isn't caused by smoking

The stress free smoker
I'll quit smoking once I've paid this gas bill off

The blaming smoker
I just about did quit but now that you've brought it up by asking me if I've quit, I now have to have one

The 'it won't happen to me' smoker
My niece's daughter got lung cancer and she's never even smoked - or - my friend's brother's nephew has been smoking all his life, he's 70 now and does not have lung cancer

The stubborn smoker
I know you love me and care about me, but I'm a grown-up so you can't tell me what to do

The light-hearted smoker
Eating sugar is worse than smoking

The constant quitter
I'll quit next week, I swear

The weak-willed smoker
I can't give up, I just can't do it

The desperate smoker
There's a dangerous hurricane, I will not be going outside for anything...except to smoke - or - I can't find my lighter so I'll use the toaster to light my cigarette

The privileged smoker
No employee is allowed more than 30 minutes break for any reason, except for smokers who will get 30 minutes plus several smoke breaks, because smoking is a big deal

The hypocrite smoker
Do not put your health in any danger at work by letting any harmful chemicals into your body, so wash your hands before eating and wear a mask while working in an environment with dangerous substances in the air. Now let's go out for a smoke

The sensitive smoker
Hey, I smoke so now I'm offended reading this!

Americans have been neglecting public education for as long as I can remember -- maybe even longer.  Buildings are old and have outdated ventilation systems.  Classrooms are overcrowded.  Teachers are under-compensated.  Curricula have not changed much since the 1960s.  Now parents are talking about how important it is for their kids to get back to school following or during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown; but they still do not want to pay more taxes to pay for fixing those issues.

Paradoxically, an ordinary citizen even hinting that parents only appreciate public schools for being glorified daycare centers for their kids is somehow gravely offensive to those very same parents.

Yes, I'm calling your restaurant into the dept of health for not bothering to enforce employees following the mandate rules.

I'm fed up with all this favouritism at work, with the most crappy worker being praised up for doing such a crap job. I can miss one tiny piece of rubbish when sweeping and I get called out on it, this very privileged woman can do the most crappiest clean ever and call it a deep clean, and the supervisor praises her up for it. We report this to the boss but nothing gets done about it, and it just eats away at me every day. I really feel like having it out with the supervisor saying where he's going wrong but it's not really my position to. I'm a brilliant deep cleaner, and yet he takes me off that permanently and puts the crap worker on there. And every day she gloats at us because we're slogging away doing the hard manual work while she's just in one place, taking her time and doing a crap job.
But the supervisor (or anyone else) doesn't even like her. She's not popular at all. And she's no use whatsoever. She's wasting the company's money by working there, because she doesn't do anything right. All she wants is to do as little work as possible and receive her paycheck at the end of the week. She shows no enthusiasm or intellect or interest in what she's doing, she does everything half-assed. But if anyone else is caught not doing their job properly, we get called out on it straight away. It's just not fair. I don't want to be sweeping floors forever. I am more than capable of doing what she does, because it's what I used to do and I done a brilliant job at it. But the dumbass supervisor just makes excuses for her. It makes my blood boil and I feel like being really combative about it, otherwise I'll just be sweeping floors for the rest of my life. It's OK doing that sometimes but not every single day. It's too repetitive. He should rotate us around. I don't even know what she's being paid for. There are so many people out of work, they should f*****g sack her and get someone in who can do the job. She is the most dimwitted, dumbest person I have ever met. Nobody's THAT dumb. She just plays dumb I think, as a way of getting her own way. And more fool the supervisor for protecting her all the time. And what gets me is he doesn't even like her. He often wishes she'd leave! And she can leave, she's old enough to retire (but is physically fit so is able to do any tasks) and she comes from a rich family (her husband owns a store). Why can't she f**k off and work at her husband's store? Or just retire? I'm so pissed off.

I just woke up.. Practically half asleep...

Went down the living room... And sat on literal s**t.


I wanna... Get rid of that damn dog... Or at least get it out of the house permanently...

Apparently that wasn't up to me... Or even with my sister... ... ... ...

I want to get rid of that dog. Even just out of this house for good...

I won't ever missed it when it's gone. Innocuous as it is, I don't want anything to do with it.

What people really mean when they say "stop moaning" to you:-

"I don't understand how you're feeling because I'm not feeling the same way"

"I don't want to argue"

"Don't express your feelings"

"I can't/won't feel sympathy for you"

"I can't think of a response"

"I don't care how you're feeling"

"Shut up"


So just got to keep all my feelings in. When people say "oh stop moaning" it really triggers a meltdown.

I chose to leave the drive-in during the second movie, because it was starting to make me feel upset. This movie was about a young pit bull who got adopted by a young man after her mother was taken away by animal control. She was eventually taken away herself, even though she was only chasing a squirrel. There were quite a few unlikeable characters, including a property owner (who hates pets), two hateful cops, and (surprise, surprise) animal control.

I felt like I f***ed up just by not seeing the rest of the film, because last year, I was able to see the double feature without a problem. The last time that happened, I made my mom and brother miss the rest of "Animal" because I wanted to sleep in silence. So my problem was a valid one, even though my mom forgave me.

I'm going to bed now, I just want it to end now.
