Removed, I'm sorry

Change up your routine. Find new hobbies. Meet new people. Learn new things. 2-6 weeks later, I feel once again that this is a complete waste of energy. Nothing I've ever done in my life has ever amounted to anything. I always return to this point. Just one more cycle, right? Just one more, haha? Just keep trying, right? This is all totally going to get better, right?

Does anyone else just not have friends their age?

I'm 25 now. My friends are either 18-19 or 45-60 with nothing in between. It's been like this my whole life.

I don't

Thoughts?

Why is it so easy to avoid nettles as an adult?

As a kid I would get stung by nettles all the time. Like, how stupid was I?

Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, cette phrase : «J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête»

J'ai entendu les paroles suivantes dans la chanson [Dorothy's Blues par Myriam Gendron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lRTsExaDWE) > Derrière ma fenêtre > J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête > Je r’garde les papillons > Autour de ma maison Mais je ne comprends pas cette phrase: «J’ai pu l’cœur à la fête». Quelqu'un pourrait l'expliquer s.v.p.?

I have a friend in Canada whose birthday is just around the corner. They mentioned how their kitchen knives suck. I'd like to order them a whetstone, sharpener and/or a new set of knives. Are there any shops or brands that you recommend? I'm not in Canada, so ideally I'd buy the item online and have it delivered to my friend.

Just had a job interview. I didn't know that anti-stress balls are single use

Second panel: Squidward stands on stage. His head has been modified to be the face of Aphex Twin grinning. The face is the same as on the cover art of the album I Care Because You Do

The two parking lights in the front of my car suddenly do not light up anymore. It's a 2008 VW Passat B6 Variant. Possible leads: - Fault code: Electrical fault in circuit - A multimeter shows that the sockets which fit the parking light do not receive any power - on both sides. Already checked: - The bulbs are okay - The fuses are okay - The parking lights in the back are okay - All other lights are okay Any advice? Is there anything else a layman could check before sending it to the garage?

I used to play games, but now I only think about the time I'm wasting. I used to like food, but now I only think about how many calories are in it. I'd rather watch a TV show I've seen a million times than watch anything new. I read about a book a month but the minutes before I pick up the page feel like procrastinating a shower when the hot water is busted. I did a lot of exercise this week but now I'm left wondering if it was really worth the oxygen. It.. didn't used to be like this. I'd be happy just going to school, playing games until way too late, talking to my online friends and doing the same thing the next day. Maybe it's because back then I had graduation in mind as a long term objective. But now, the only certainty left for me is the inevitable fate of every living creature. I'm lonely. At school you're forced to meet the same 30-100 people every day, but I've never been worth going out of anyone's way. I have almost no social contacts that charge my battery rather than deplete it. I feel like I should keep trying new things. But honestly, all that's good in my life was given to me by chance (or a deity if you believe in one). Every time I have actively tried to better things it either changed nothing or made things worse. I'm so tired. Has anyone "been there" and turned the ship around?

Hiker dies in cow herd charge in Austrian Alps

www.freemalaysiatoday.com

A hiker in the Austrian Alps died when a herd of cows charged her, while her two daughters survived with injuries [...]. The woman was on a hike with her two daughters [...] and two small dogs yesterday [...] in the Salzburg region when the cow herd charged [...]. “It is still not clear what happened,” a police spokesman [said].

In an [interview](https://archive.ph/gINMy) with recently deceased author [Paul Auster](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Auster), he says the following: > When I was 9 or 10, my grandmother gave me a six-volume collection of books by Robert Louis Stevenson, which inspired me to start writing stories that began with scintillating sentences like this one: “In the year of our Lord 1751, I found myself staggering around blindly in a raging snowstorm, trying to make my way back to my ancestral home.” This encouraged me to browse my bookshelf and search for those scintillating first sentences. As it turns out, many of the books that I loved the most really do pack a punch before the end of their first paragraph. Here's my personal selection. Unlike Auster's example, the ones I am sharing do not immediately drop you in the middle of the action, as the number of adventure books on my bookshelf is marginal. However, I do feel they capture a lot about the protagonist and set the tone for the novel. I would love for you to share yours. The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster: > I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I traveled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain. Moon Palace by Paul Auster: > It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but I did not believe there would ever be a future. The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger > If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin by David Nobbs > When Reginald Iolanthe Perrin set out for work on the Thursday morning, he had no intention of calling his mother-in-law a hippopotamus.
