OT: Off Topic XXI - It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I feel fine)

I got 29126 apparently that's pretty good or something I dunno.

At first was confused by super's claim of "what are some of those words" then I found out. They were perfectly cromulent.

Yeah, it starts of easy as hell, then there's words you've never seen before and guess the synonym/antonym and others where it's a common word you know and you get 3 of 4 options that look like someone fainted on a key board.

As a professional white-collar, I am mildly offended.

Because II did it...

And that's why my name is purple.

Have you watched "The Great" yet?

Have you done the vocabulary test yet?

I just love being back in the north. Sunset is 11pm, sunrise 3 am. And it’ll be the opposite in 6 months which is also great.

It’s great to have 4 seasons. Like really 4 different season, there’s always something to wait for and curse the current weather.

I always joke in Calgary that we only have 2 seasons: bad and worse

You can see more than 200 metres. What's that like?

Overrated. I like my city smog. Reminds me of my trips to nyc

Oh yeah the forest fires
It hasn't been in news here a lot, except couple of days ago when they said the smoke has reached Finland.

Hello all. As you probably know I've been away for some time. I'd like to share some things....

When I left my struggles with my mental health were piling up, during the pandemic it worsened, as I lost my job, my home and it reached the point where I couldn't leave the house and didn't do so in over 2 years, and had difficulty doing daily self-care functions.

A year ago, my dad got sick and I had a complete breakdown, I spent 14 months on long-term disability unable to even do my job which is a work from home position. I underwent EMDR therapy for trauma while off work and after a gradual return to work, I am back to work full-time and feel the best mentally that I've felt in many years (maybe it's the handful of drugs I have to take every day too). This past week my recovery has been tested, as we found out last week that my dad is now terminal, and I didn't break again. So that's kinda why I'm back, sports are a positive thing for me and I don't feel like I'm spiraling, so I thought it was "safe" for me to return again.

I know I was an asshole before I left, my anxiety was causing a great deal of paranoia. I can't promise I still won't be an asshole sometimes, because I'm still going to be blunt, but I do think things will be different.

Also, if any of you are struggling, please get help. It can really make a.massive difference.

Thanks for your time.

My wife and I are heading out to dinner tonight to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary.

Going to try out a (new to us) place called My Pizza Steak House in High River. I've heard nothing but good things about it from numerous people. Looking forward to ordering the 10 oz. New York with garlic prawns. I figure the first time there I may as well order something they are well known for.

Glad you got the help you needed, especially during such trying times. As someone who has not always been mentally 100% at times there’s nothing wrong with seeking it out… I’ve unfortunately seen the alternative. Anyways, welcome back.

My wife and I just got back from My Pizza Steak House. The food was delicious. I had the 12 oz Ribeye Classic and my better half had the 10 oz New York Strip Classic. Highly recommend this place. Will be going back to try their pizza next time we go out for dinner.
