At least it’s not Strom Thurmand mad about the civil rights act with the longest speaking time record anymore…

Quit yelling at me, old man
No, to be honest I’d prefer not being perceived at all
But, “we spared no expense”
Oh, that’s a good tool
Is it burnout or does it seem like chores are insurmountable but possibly easier if someone else breaks them down to smaller tasks? Also could be both
I shouldn’t complain about the pay specifically, it’s good money (its around $80 an hour after all the extras like charge pay, night shift pay all that). It’s not worth it for the interruption of sleep. I booked vacation in february for gay christmas (halloween) why mandate meeeee 😭
Mandated overtime
The pay is not worth
Gotta get domesticated and clicker trained first
Knowing that this is a faulty core belief (unworthiness) is actually a considerable step forward, because often people come into therapy feeling anxious and bad and so on but getting to the root of those bad thoughts is a few sessions deep. So it’s good you’ve identified it! You’ve actually made good progress on your own, you should feel proud and should identify this strength of yours for self-awareness. A CBT worksheet will show a negative belief that you connect to a core belief and then you provide alternative beliefs.
So when I say I think 5 positive thoughts for every negative, it doesn’t mean every time a core belief surfaces that I think 5 positive thoughts (core beliefs rarely surface) I mean those distantly connected negative thoughts. Anyway, I think you could get tools like that to work for you with CBT focused treatment.
Going to therapy can help with feelings of unworthiness. You are worthy of love just FYI. Ignoring it is not really an effective strategy as you’ve already surmised, you will have to confront these feelings - luckily, they’re not true and you can find a therapist that can help.
One of the strategies my therapist gave me for this type of rumination is every time you have a bad thought like “I am unwantable, I am unworthy, etc” is to think 5 good thoughts “I am strong, I am resilient, I am a kind person, etc.” The good thoughts started settling in but also it was starting to get annoying to have to pick 5 out so often lol, so I was like reflexively shutting down bad thoughts. Maybe you have to dig into what is making you feel unworthy, maybe it’s childhood stuff or something else, but you should explore that with a therapist.
There’s some CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) homework you can do about these kinds of beliefs. Step one is to list it out, rate how much you believe it out of 10, reframe the thought and then work on it with a therapist. As simple as it sounds, this can be quite effective and can be something you can do automatically. You can find examples by googling “CBT belief worksheet.” A lot of people struggle with reframing at first, but you can get through it I swear.
I’ve been playing so much violin I’m getting callouses on my finger tips, it’s nice not to hurt as much (they still hurt) but they feel so weird
It’s your call! It sounds like you’re okay right now and don’t need emergency medical attention. Go to ER if anything I mentioned earlier happens (vomiting blood, throat tightening so much it’s restricting your airway, bloody stool etc). Your family doctor is a good person to see tomorrow and get you checked over before deciding if you need ER or not. Probably all you’ll get is a course of prophylactic antibiotics (GPs love their abx lol), some painkillers and maybe some fancy fiber to eat/drink. The GP might get you a req for an xray just to make sure, or they might decide to wait. Some medical professionals are going to tell you to go to ER regardless just so they can cover their proverbial asses, but from what you’ve described you’re okay!
If you want something lower key than the medicine on your own, add some honey to your tea! Honey is great! And some bulky fiber.
The bleeding has progressed from foamy pink to frank blood, which is concerning - was the lozange you took red in colouring? It sounds like it’s only a scant amount instead of a lot, maybe even just food dye. The stomach pain/nausea can be from ingested blood or whatever you swallowed earlier bothering your stomach now, or just some anxiety. If you vomit blood or it looks like coffee grounds, head to ER sooner. Head to ER if you feel like it’s hard to breath (you won’t be wondering about if its tight enough, you’ll feel ready to go). Same if you pass bloody stool or black tarry stool, but your plan was to head to ER tomorrow morning anyway so it’s unlikely to pass before then.
Some kind of injury to your throat is going to feel like something is stuck there. You could’ve had something sharp cut you a bit or just rough up your throat lining and had bleeding. Usually the lining of the throat is pretty good at not getting cut, lots of mucous, it’s soft and pliable, etc but maybe you just had something too hard. There are conditions that can make your throat more susceptible to bleeding like esophageal varices but chances are all that happened is your an otherwise healthy person who ate something to sharp or too big and it caused some trauma to your throat.
I’d say drink liquids, eat some fibrous stuff if you can manage (or drink it like metamucil) so you can get whatever is in you out the other side. Don’t smoke (it’s just gonna bug your throat injury). No harm in getting an xray at an ER or urgent care, you could’ve swallowed something metal or harsh or too large and maybe they’ll decide they need to go retrieve it. There’s stuff they can do for your throat if it’s bleeding and won’t stop, it’s weird looking and feeling - basically a big balloon lol. But they probably won’t do anything but maybe get you to eat some bulky fibrous food and maybe take a laxative later (maybe).
What makes this guy so worth this to the org, wtf, like he’s not a replacement level worker or something
“We are currently experiencing lower than average call volumes, but we still wanted to make you wait.”
Thank you for your call, we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes…
I don’t think I’ve called a big company since like 2009 where they weren’t experiencing “higher than normal call volumes.” On the one hand, it makes sense that I’d be calling during their busy times I guess. But every time?
I like the horsie with a balloon, that’s cute
A big feature of it was that the native peoples were and are already all dead, tragic, who we can prop up as a historical legacy like the ancient Greeks and point to their legacy in the US.
We do not recognize the centuries long genocidal efforts and actual wars, the land was mythologically empty when people arrived. We do not recognize the ongoing cultural genocide (probable less in the US). Legally, the indigenous have certain rights that must be sidestepped and ignored despite the blow to the basis of the Law such as it is.
Everything the US and Canada did to the indigenous people all over North America with disease and horses and muskets, Israel is doing right now to Palestine with US bombs and tanks and jets. The same story, the same “a land without a people, and we are a people without a land”, the same hatred, the same inconveniently tenacious survivors that aren’t willing to die without a fight.
The change in mass, electric charge, angular momentum are the only things that are detectable after the apple crosses the black hole - no hair theorem. As far as we know, no quantum information is recoverable. We don’t actually, like, see the apple ever cross the event horizon it’s a whole weird thing. The event horizon conceals all events from the interior of the black hole from the rest of the universe - we never see anything about the center of the black hole or any part inside it, ever. It’s all cut off.
The additional mass that changes how much additional force there is due to gravity is communicated at the speed of light, no faster.
There are interesting theories about black hole holography, universe holography brane vs bulk stuff, whatever.
