I believe people in their 40's are sometimes considered "middle aged."

People in their 50's are usually considered "middle aged."

People in their 60s are sometimes considered "middle aged."

People in their 30's or 70's are never considered "middle aged."

I'm looking at a list of the top most dangerous creatures.

Honey badgers, king cobras, wolverines, polar and grizzly bears, tigers, water buffaloes, hippos...

I've been reading how often autistic persons are either unemployed or underemployed, honestly I've always wondered which is the better choice part time or full time? At this current juncture the multitude of jobs I've seen are full time and to complicate matters, I'm currently receiving a disability pension;however, I feel that I could carry out the necessary function under full time status, as long as pay rate and benefits were able to make up for disability pension as a whole.. I'm just not sure.. :? :(

A lot of career type jobs don't offer a choice, they tend to be full time. If I could go back in time I would train in one

of the trades so that I could be self employed and control my own hours. If you are valuable in a field people will

accept you no matter how weird you are, but if you have no special skill you are judged largely on your ability to fit

in. I work 16 hrs a week not because I can't work for more hours but because I can't fit in for more than that

(without going nuts). I use the rest of my time to work on my novel with the hope of eventually writing full time.

Thanks fluffysaurus, as I don't have the many years of experiences some places are looking for, rather only 9 months of lab experience during the time I had acquired my A+ certification.

I have to get going now, but thanks for your great amount of support...

That's whyI'm glad I'm part of WrongPlanet as, you don't have people telling you to simply give up and simply take a deadend job literally..

These should be at number one, they're called humans. This is a particularly ferocious pack preparing for their next kill.

i'm only guessing darmok thinks the idea that we're all equal is a cult idea and maybe that capitalism is good even when it's toxic.

Have you considered learning to drive, kura? I feel like driving would be a good stepping stone to your independence and it's a lot cheaper (relatively cheaper?) than moving out with a part-time job. Plus, you will need to drive for transportation if you are living on your own unless you live right downtown (which will cost more in rent and defeat the savings of using public transport).

If you could drive and get out of your mother's house more often by yourself, you'd feel a lot more independent and it would be cheaper than moving out.

Just my two cents worth.


I can't, because of my general lack of vision in my right eye, and various other vision difficulties.

Right now I'm trying to figure out why I don't like myself much at all, and why I keep falling into the same destructive patterns over and over again.

self-esteem tends to come from messages we get about ourselves very early in life. most of us aren't stuck with that, though. a book that helped me is "the self-esteem companion" by a bunch of authors, one of them is a PhD named mckay. it's on amazon. there are visualization exercises that helped me heal lacks from different times in my development and other general positive visualizations. i would think that visualizations might work well for you given your creativity.

we have a saying in my 12-step group that reminds us to give ourselves some leeway that all humans need: progress, not perfection.

I'm afraid you just (accidentally) took a giant step deep into the PPR swamp. This isn't the place to go into it, so I'll only say that site is a very well funded, very sophisticated engine of far-left political propaganda and psychological manipulation — a poisonous cake covered with sugary frosting and sprinkles.

Now, no more of that, and back to memes and writing and taking a walk to the river.
