Difference between a first world country and a third world country is so fucking astronomical; Never ceases to amaze

Where are you coming from?

Jamaica, more specifically, the Jamaica that tourists never see.

Beware the donkeys.

One of my track teammates was from a rough area in Jamaica... dude had PTSD on some war shit.

It took us a month to get him to walk downtown with us at night.

Yeah it can get rough down there. Once when I was 5 just chilling with my mom watching tv, about 20 dudes just rolled up down the street and started firing. Hell, a baby got shot either last week or the week before and a rival gang tried to murder a baby from the rival neighborhood as revenge.

Well my girl sent me a text and asked if I am ready to be an "active" grandpa in her next grandchilds life.

Went to Verizon to get a new phone. the Moto X.

Things have changed since the last time I got a phone. They told me I had 2 options
1) To use my free upgrade I'd have to ditch my grandfathered unlimited data plan and get a new bullshit one. Not happening because I use more data monthly than any of their plans cover.
2) To keep my unlimited data plan I would have to pay full price for the phone. 399 for a Moto X and that was one of the cheaper ones. the Nokia Lumia Icon and the Galaxy 4 cost way more.

So I'm keeping my piece of shit phone for a while longer.

I was in the same exact situation. The cost of a plan that would cover my usage would be crazy expensive. I just bought a phone out of pocket, it ends up being way cheaper in the long run and I can still create hotspots where ever and hook all my other devices to the internet and never worry about overages.

Holy shit, that's super fucked up.

There are a lot of Jamaicans in Toronto. I used to think they were insane, I'm like, even if it's easier to get a job or whatever, why would you leave a tropical paradise to come to this frozen environment? But then the guys I work with tell me the stories, about the crazy gang shit that goes down in Kingston, about the corruption, about the time the cop pulled one of them over for "speeding" and basically threatened to rape his wife if he didn't pay a bribe and I'm like, okay, I get it now. Snow's not so bad. They're all still proud to be Jamaican, but I get why none of them plan to live there again.

Psy are you by any chance Chinese Jamaican???

Born in Jamrock, lived in the USA for pretty much half of my life(so no accent :cry: ). Spent the majorit of the last 5 years down there though an finally gots my green card. I'm gonna continue my education stateside though. I think I'm done with Jamaica for good though. I'll probably make one last visit though.

My girl is older then I am. I have stepchildren that are of child rearing age. I have no kids of my own and I am about to have a grandkid. I am happy about this. But scared because I want to be a good influence in the kids life. The kids gonna be biracial. So in a way its kinda special since my lady and I dont have any of our own.

Had no idea you had OCD troubles. Best of luck with it.

I love having a work laptop.

It means I get to work past 2am in the morning on a project and be back at work before 8am.

Last week has been hellish.

As someone who has been on Zoloft for about 3 years now let me just say, the first couple week was awful. I actually felt worse initially than I did before I went on it, I could barely eat, I thought I was going to throw up constantly, I had to struggle to get through every day and I would come home and just curl up on the couch.

Once you get past that hurdle it is a lot better. Before I was on I was having some pretty major daily emotional breakdowns, I couldn't drive to and from work without having a break down. Once the stuff started to take a hold I felt like I had better control over my thoughts and emotions, I felt a lot more even. I did a lot of other things besides taking meds (therapy, called my parents a lot, got a job, got a car, started getting out) but having that extra bit helped.

I actually just had my doctor reduce my prescription although I haven't started taking the lower dosage yet. In a horrible twist of irony I've been having a pretty low point week emotionally. I don't really feel like I have a reason to feel this way and I'm trying to ride it out because I know it'll be temporary. I guess the point is that its not all sunshine and roses, but the biggest thing is it always feels more manageable.

Had some real sitcom shit happen to me today. I wish I could just redo today from 9-12:30pm.

Folks in another department just royally fucked up one of the most important orders I've had so far. Important local account and the owner's wife works there. So after about an hour of getting bitched at by the customers and figuring out w/ my bosses how to make it right I just bit the bullet and volunteered to skip lunch and deliver everything that was currently available to one of their reps. I just wanted to be done w/ it and move on.

So I meet up w/ the rep and I thought I was gonna just drop the stuff off and keep it moving. Nope. She wanted to talk to me but she had to finish talking to her doctor about treatment for her dying aunt (brain cancer). After about 10 mins of the most depressing shit ever the convo finally ends and I'm expecting to get chewed out for our fuckery. Nope. She offered to buy me lunch. I declined but she insisted that I at least take it back to the office if I couldn't eat with her.

I'm following her to the restaurant and I'm thinking "Damn wouldn't it be some shit if I ran in back of her? Haha right?" And in one of those flowing right lanes (at a red), she stopped (wrong move), almost went and then slammed on brakes again and I ran in back of her. I look at her car and there's just some scratches so I'm thinking its not that bad right...then she looks at my car all fucked up and starts apologizes profusely.

We pull off into a lot so I can get a good look at my car. She starts bawling so I'm trying to calm her down and play off the fact that I just racked up a few grand of body damage. The cop comes and she just completely eats the blame when explaining what happens and begs him not to file a report on me. Do they even file reports on fender benders? I felt like total shit because this lady was so broken up about it on top of everything going on in her life. And she gave me what looks like her own personal bible. There's notes and everything in it.

Just spent the last hour talking with insurance and my folks about it. I feel like I could see the dollars flying out of my bank account.

I wish I had just let them cancel the order instead of saving it by delivering it myself.

Lost in all of this I never got the chance to call a guy from this company where someone is trying to get me on. Hopefully Monday isn't too late.

I actually haven't felt any side-effects for these first few days but my doctor advised me to only take half a pill a day for the first 8 days and I don't know how long this stuff takes to kick in positively or negatively...

fuck this weather.

i wanna move to Cali

Turned 30 yesterday bruhs, I hung out with some of my best friends and at the end of the night after like 8 hours of drinking Hennessey and Heineken's one of my friends confessed to me his mom might have breast cancer.

I had no idea anything was wrong because he seemed like his normal jovial self the whole night. I was truly humbled by how cool he was to even come and hang with me with that weight on his mind. While at the same time it reminded that life is a finite thing that should be cherished......

Family and friends and loved ones are the only treasures that count. Money is cool but its only so much dust and dirt if you think about it.

It varies from person to person but from what I've read the first week is usually the worst. There isn't really some big moment of clarity though with it. You'll just kind of gradually start being able to control your thoughts and emotions. At least that's how it worked for me, stuff that I had been giving me issues or causing my problems I was able to deal with and focus and get past.

pumpkin pie is soooooo gooood

This week has been so completely ridiculous for me.

Between an ex gf on some wantmeback shit, doctors literally coming to blows over diagnosing my shoulder injury, a good friend turning into a scumbag, childish office politics, family crap, college crap, and some girl that I completely dogged out catching feelings for me

I am extremely dissatisfied with myself for not turning into a heavy drinker.

As one (i've probably only gone to sleep sober twice this month), it's a little over rated. And a touch expensive.

Good news though, my ITB surgery is well on track.

Getting an ultrasound on my achillies this afternoon too.

Student loans and Target can both suck a dick.

Have you ever looked into nootropics? There's lots of nonprescription stuff like racetams which can make you much less emotionally labile. It can also make you super focused so I'm not sure how something like pramiracetam would interact with your personal brain chemistry, but it's cheap and at low doses might be worth a shot.

I didn't have to face any challenges like yours, I just got into noopept to be more productive, but it had the side effect of not getting too hung up on negative emotions once I got the dose right (this will be highly individual - at the recommended dose it made me feel like a nazi until I lowered it by more than half). Not in the sense like I was apathetic, just more like stuff bounced off me once I'd figured out cognitively how to handle what it was doing.

Top 3 worst hangover here today. Still reeling. I didn't think I went that hard either.

True story, i've been drunk for 2 weeks or more? probably more, straight, with out a single hang over.

Been absolutely blind drunk several times during that stretch too.

I fear there is one all mighty hangover around the corner.

Shōchū has overtaken sake as the most popular drink in Japan. I was told yesterday that this is because it does not induce hangovers. Anecdotally I can say I've never had one from drinking it, but I'd like to really put it to the test.

Soju does give hangovers.

That i can guarantee you.

What it IS though, is much much MUCH sweeter than sake, and about the same percentage of alcohol (in that 15 - 20% range depending on brand/type).

It's also significantly cheaper.

Korean soju is not quite the same as Japanese shōchū. They're similar but shōchū doesn't have the sugar, and is stronger - typically around 25%.

How to make someone stress the fuck out and ruin the next two weeks: repeat the phrase "the pressure is on" four or five times in an email chain and mention that people above you are worried (when they shouldn't be).

Will that make me more productive? Of course not.

I hate that kind of shit. And when people sit over my shoulder or constantly interrupt me with updates or requests. Fucking send it to me an email with a priority and I'll get it done in order. If you make everything the same priority then I'll do it in whatever order works best for me.

So weed edibles? Gonna try some tomorrow? Any stories you guys wanna tell me?

It's up there with the management stratergy of telling everyone constantly that their job isn't safe, and there could be redundancies, in order to get people to work harder / longer with out complaining.

Everyone just starts looking for new jobs.

Hi, i just sent you an email, have you actioned it yet? I know you have no other work to do and only service me.

I hate my job. Ugh. Had a job interview for a much better one last week and should hear something back in a few days. Crossing my fingers. Terrible Atlanta traffic, a job I don't like, dealing with a divorce and everything that comes with it... ugh.

How'd it go?
