Depends on how underdressed; like, if you showed up to a job interview in sweats and a T shirt with some snarky catch phrase on it, probably that, but if it's nice jeans and a polo when you should have worn khaki's and a button-up or even a basic suit, being late would probably be worse.

Yes because between 2010 and 2020 the entire majority of all movies were the dozen superhero movies. One to three superhero films per year just RUINED films forever!

I'll never understand this logic.

It's a Sunhawk topic about movies, there is no logic to be understood.

Fact is, if someone thinks that all films coming out right now are "all just superhero movies" then you just straight up aren't paying attention/watching movies.

Bruh what, we had some fucking amazing films come out this decade. Get Out, The VVitch, The Lighthouse, The Art of Self Defense, Sorry To Bother You, Parasite, Snowpiercer, Hereditary, BlacKkKlansman, Ex Machina, Arrival, Annihilation, The Shape of Water, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and those are all just off the top of my head/on the more recent side of the decade.

Yeah that's how I get worse, when I stop doing things like coding or gaming or making ASCII art. I also isolate, and don't get outside unless it's to get groceries. Vitamin D deficiency is in vogue right now if you didn't know, so put on music or a podcast and just walk around the block each day.

I actually have been going on late night runs lately on days I don't have work, and honestly those have been pretty nice.

Though it kinda goes back to another case where in the moment I feel better, but then as soon as I'm done everything comes rushing back; I'm just having a very hard time maintaining any sense of contentment right now.

I think getting back into my writing will help; maybe not full on screenplays right now, but even just some poetry or something every day or so. Some form of artistic expression since that's a major thing I'm lacking right now.

You shouldn't rely on slim hopes to keep you going, be proud of what you accomplished (congrats btw!!!) and think of ways to take the pressure off from time to time. If you're not fully recharging from one day to the next, it's just going to snowball.

It's just rough because like, anytime I think I've moved on from what's bothering me, it comes back in full force almost out of nowhere and I'm right back to where I started.

Most days when I'm not at work, I just haven't been doing much of anything. Not even just productivity wise, but I haven't really been playing video games, or even watching movies which are like, my biggest passion.

If there's one positive to take away from this, it's that you at least found something that you wanna do in life. Cause that's something that has yet to come for me.

I guess that's fair; one thing that hurts though is knowing exactly what I want to do, and just feeling like I'm unable to attain it.

But I just have to keep working for it, that's the only way it'll ever happen, it's just been tough keeping a positive mindset lately.

We'll all get to where we need to be, we got this CE. Shit will get better, even if shit's rough right now. <3

it probably won't get better until sometime next year :(. rough patches ahead FML.

Yep, and it fucking sucks. I've been trying to focus on writing my screenplays in the meantime since that's something i can keep doing even while everything else is shut down, but I've just been so depressed and anxious about everything that getting into my writing mindset has been almost impossible too.

I did finish one feature length screenplay that I'm very proud of that I submitted to a major competition that I'm waiting to hear back from, but the chances of something coming of that are incredibly tiny, yet it's also kind of the one last bastion of hope I have in my life right now. :/

I think this pandemic has just cemented that my life is not the path that I hoped for to put it lightly.

That's a big part of it for me as well. I had just made a big move to a big city to try and get into filmmaking; and the second I do, every production gets shut down cause of COVID, so now I'm stuck working dead end survival jobs till things can reopen and I can actually pursue what I want to do with my life.

My depression was getting pretty bad to the point that I had to go inpatient for a couple weeks. Since then though I think I've somehow managed to tighten my empathy valve enough that all the fear and anger and horror happening across the country every day isn't effecting me like it used to, though I still try to keep updated on everything.

If it was just how shitty the world is right now, or just my own personal life shit, I think I could cope, but the fact that both have reached a terrible peak at the same time is fucking me up that I have basically nothing good to fall back on right now.

I feel like I'm just starting to kill off my emotions to not feel anything about anything, and that's not a place I want to get to either.

NoMeLx22x posted...

Yeah I had a little bit of a breakdown a few days ago and am still kinda reeling from it.

The therapist that I have is $75 a session which I've been doing every week until a feel the need to go every other week. It's only been three weeks and I feel slightly better but we haven't really gotten to the meat of my issues yet.

The one thing I will say is you can't out a price on your mental health. So maybe call your insurance company and see if there is any mental health facilities that they cover trips for, or do some googling on therapists in your area to see prices. Or even ask around to some close friends. There's a chance that one of them is in therapy or has gone and might know of one with a decent price. You'd be surprised how many people are in therapy, just no one wants to talk about it which is a shame.

I know I've heard some places are willing to work with low income people too, so I should look into that as well. Therapy is something I've wanted to do since high school, just never had the means or support to really reach out and actually do it.

Of those I'd say it's between Del Toro and Bong Joon Ho.

Eggers is still super early in his career but his first 2 films were fucking phenomenal, so I'm hype to see where the rest of his career leads him.

Tldr, but from the topic title and few words I did see, I think we're similar tc.

Tldr is I'm sad, lonely, my anxiety has flared up insanely bad, and my mental health feels like it's backsliding and that scares me.

It's a rough time for everyone right now, shit's not great at the moment. :/

This is almost word for word what I'm dealing with in my life right now. And it's been really rough for me lately.

I've started therapy and I'm 3 weeks in hoping to get some good out of it and try to get my life on track.

If nothing else just know that you're not alone in this man. And it's always worth living and working through it cause eventually we're going to come out better on the other side.

I've been seriously considering getting into therapy, my biggest concern is just cost; don't have a ton of money right now, and I've heard so many horror stories of any decent therapist being ridiculously expensive and a lot of insurance not covering mental health stuff without a doctor referral. I need to do more research into it though, I think it could be really helpful, cause shit's been rough lately.

I appreciate it man. I usually try to keep positive, and I keep trying to tell myself that shit will get better, but the past few days in particular have really wrecked me emotionally and it's been a struggle.

"She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up."

I was doing alright for a good while; antsy from not hanging out with people and stressed by the state of the world and everything, sure, but it was manageable.

The past 2 weeks though, between the state of the world and my own personal struggles with my career, love life, and everything else, my anxiety and depression have hit a boiling point. Have barely been able to sleep at all, and when I do manage to sleep my dreams are super depressing and I just wake up in even more of a funk than before.

Last night my depression hit me the hardest that it has in a very long time, and some of the not-so-great thoughts I've worked so hard to move past started trickling back in, and like, god damn, I thought I'd moved past that shit on my mental health journey a long time ago, and now I just feel like I'm backsliding.

I just have this huge sense of isolation and loneliness that I can't shake, even though the past couple weeks I have actually been hanging out with people a little bit again, but it only helps in the moment, soon as they leave I'm back to the paranoia and shit.

I just feel very stuck in every single aspect of my life right now and it's not a good feeling.

Alright, that's the end of my sad rant, love ya CE. <3

It's shifty eyes. Not a smile. People use it typically when asking something uncomfortable, nothing jovial about it.

It's a shifty eyes which still implies he finds it funny. Surprised a moderator would defend that.

I don't think you know what shifty eyes mean. It just implies feeling uncomfortable, like when asking an uncomfortable question such as the one he did. Has nothing to do with finding it funny.

Yeah, modern Halloween is so centered around whatever is mainstream/popular at the time that I feel like trying to classify them like how you currently are could very easily end up with you writing yourself into a corner.

It really depends on the context/what your premise is, but I'd say don't try to limit yourself; go with whatever you think will fit into your story; if you want to include dragons and angels in your line-up, I think you absolutely can. Again, I don't know the world you're trying to build here, but as long as you establish the "rules" of the setting early, you can include or exclude whatever you want to pretty much. Even if a certain type of monster may be questionable on a mainstream level, if you personally think that type of monster will fit well with your world, just work it into the setting that in this world they ARE considered a mainstay, or work in that they're maybe a "forgotten" monster in the context of Halloween. I think there's a lot you can play with here, just go with whatever you think will work most cohesively with the setting you're trying to establish.

I think the interactions between the cast are better in 4, but I think I like the individual characters from 3 better overall; That might change though, I still have a good chunk of 4 left to go.

"She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up."

I really like Kanji a lot so far, curious to see where his character arc goes.

Chie and Yukiko are both solid too; Yosuke's the only one I hate.

IDK if I'll end up liking any character more than I liked Akihiko in 3 though, love that dude.

"She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up."

I've been playing it for the first time; Persona 3 is the only other Persona game I've played. Really enjoying it so far the most part.

Sad that Yosuke pulled a Wakka (FFX) on me and went from seeming like a cool bro to being a bigoted creep.

I'm on Rise's dungeon right now, it's (overall) a really enjoyable game so far, if they chilled the fuck out with the homophobia and creeping on women it'd be damn near perfect. So, basically if they got rid of Yosuke >_>

Also hi Yusiko, missed ya <3

Vegy walks into a bar after a long day at work and orders a drink. As he sits there, mulling over his day, he hears a high-pitched voice say, "That shirt looks great on you!
Vegy looks around, doesnt see anything, and returns to his drink thinking nothing more of it. But then, a moment later, the voice returns, this time offering, You seem like a really cool guy!
Again, Vegy looks around, sees nothing, and returns to his drink, wondering if he should get checked out by a professional. Finally, when his nerves have cooled and he believes the voice is gone, he hears, I bet your parents are really proud of you!
Vegy slams down his drink and looks around wildly. Frustrated and finding no possible source of the voice, he calls over the bartender. Vegy says, Hey barkeep! Whats that voice I keep hearing?
Oh, those are the peanuts, the bartender replies. Theyre complimentary.

I love theme parks too. Six Flags in NJ is by far my favorite and I really do like Universal Studios, Seaworld and Busch Gardens. I did like Disney World at first I guess but overtime I just got bored of it.

Didn't help the castmember culture stuff made Disney seem like a giant cult and how fanatical a lot of the guests were. Luckily, I didn't have to embrace that stuff or deal with guests for my job.

Yeah, some of the other Castmembers and guests get suuuuuuupppppeeerrr culty about it and it can get kinda freaky tbh. I def don't regret that I quit working there, but I did really enjoy going to the parks still though, and do plan on going back again someday.

I just don't plan on working there ever again.

I worked there for 2 years. Anytime I went with friends or a girl I always felt it would be more fun to just go to Universal Studios instead. Like I said, maybe it's just my disconnect because I don't really care for Disney.

Huh, that's super odd to me. I just love theme parks in general though; Disney, Universal, Six Flags, whatever, I've never had a straight up bad time at any theme park I've ever been to, even SeaWorld.

I even got real burnt out on the Castmember culture too, but that never took away from my enjoyment of the parks themselves.
