                    long thread discussing money management, lgbt issues, depressing topics [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                    So I've tried other things- every other hobby and skillset i've developed or lightly played with over the years, to see what sticks. It's hard for me to stay on anything or to force myself through anything without using mania or spite as a crutch.

                    Call that adhd, neurodivergence, labeling it doesn't make it any easier but it scares me that the mental disorders i've ignored for years, under the illusion that they weren't "real" and could be powered through with sheer willpower and motivation (the 2010's were a great time) are still very much present. And to top thst off, now i'm considered part of the trans umbrella AND bisexual, as if being asian wasn't enough of a target on my back.

                    And then there's my age and cultural problems. I haven't come out to anyone except a select few people in my family (themselves lgbt) and people are getting rightfully concerned that I'm not married or publically seeing anyone yet. The moving out is whatever- culture today has made staying with the parents both practical and even preferred since it means I can help around the house. But I worry about when that question will eventually need to be answered, unless I'm ready to just leave at a moment's notice.

                    And I'm not anywhere near that level yet. Things like this are driving my feeling that, yeah. I do need to monetize my hobbies. Vtubing, social media fluff, can't be *just* for the fun of it anymore.

                      long thread discussing money management, lgbt issues, depressing topics [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                      I've been delaying this for a long time, but I'm saving money into a savings account that I originally set aside for emergency bills- and it's still for that purpose- so that I have at least enough money to afford renting an apartment for at least a year.

                      Conveniently, my banking app has an automated budgeting feature and it's basically encouraging me to try and put away at least $1400 a month for such an eventuality. I'm not in any immediate danger of losing my job, to my knowledge, but things have not been going great at work between some upper management getting terminated out of the blue, stricter than normal oversight from some "consulting firms" which have made my life a little bit more hellish, and the degrading political situation in the country overall. Our government has shown a lot of contempt for the healthcare industry and my employer has been courting AI like every other asshole megacorp here.

                      I've been working at this company for more than a decade now and, well, I'm tired of it. Even if I did resign and move elsewhere, this doesn't change the fact that I hate this job. I hate this industry. I'm too stupid and antisocial to work in a clinical setting (make no mistake, I do think the number one quality every frontline worker should have is compassion) and have no intention of forcing myself through school a second time. The absolute state of the journalism industry needs no comment.

                          Also thinking about formally changing my stream days from MWF to Tuesday/Thursday. I haven't been able to stream consistently since returning but I've managed at least one a week? A lot of it is based on my mood I guess. I'm trying to keep each stream passionate instead of formulaic.

                            and all the time i've lost to both:

                            wasting time on things I don't remember fondly, and the time I spent dwelling on those same regrettable things.

                            might write about it later.

                                            I’ve worked on plenty of new projects recently and have cracked out my copy of “Planning Extreme Programming” for a reread. I’m sure there was a section about “walking skeletons”. It turns out that it is from “The Pragmatic Programmer”, where it’s called the more aggressive “tracer bullets”. How much experience do you have with walking skeletons? How much is enough before you ship?
