    Jets could continue to fly following an atomic blast under special insurance policies being drawn up to address the possibility of conflicts escalating in Ukraine and Kashmir.

    This is the most latestagecapitalism/aboringdystopia text I have-ever-read

  • As government regulators focused on reigning in air pollution, companies were busy generating new sources of pollution, including plastics and PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals. PFAS, which stands for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a large group of compounds used, among other things, to make fabric stain-resistant and pans nonstick.

    Over time, these modern-era substances — which famously take decades to millennia to degrade — have leached into the environment, reaching every corner of the planet, no matter how tall or deep. Microplastics, PFAS, and some other compounds, such as pesticides, are now so widespread that they’ve essentially become part of our biome, not unlike bacteria or fungi.

    They’re so common, in fact, that they’re even found in the rain.

    I don’t know if it is generally good advice, but this personally saved me from spiraling immediately after a traumatic event. When I started, it felt like a thin line between mild depression and utter insanity:

    Sleep and wake up at the exact same time every single day, with no exception (obviously as much as you can).
    For the first hour then, do the same sequence of actions (eg. drink coffee, listen to podcast, stretch, …).

    Waking extremely early is best for me as I end up alone in quiet, but I assume this would work even for a night owl.
    It is like keeping an anchor in your daily life, when everything else is confusion.






  • ITT people mentioning bipolar disorder but I would suggest a strong onset of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
    My only question to you is, when did your menstruations start this month? You don’t have to reply to this.
    But look up whether they started the day you were sad, or one day/two days prior.
    If it was the case, it is very likely PMS.
    Keep a calendar of your cycles and you will know.
    Causes of PMS may be one or many, like birth control, undiagnosed depression, a stressful time, etc. etc.
    Edit: typo

    My personal take is to just use lawyer, when gender is irrelevant. This may get your audience confused when using “she” in the next sentence. But it could help weaken the stereotypes about genders if we did this more often IMHO.
    If needed “female lawyer” or “lawyer who is a woman” are good otherwise.

    I lived with someone like op described.

    He was my father in law and I had no other choice than to suck it up for years. When I left home, he transfered his insane behaviour to his own daughter, who eventually went no contact.
    Nobody would believe me, he was so good at making me look like the problematic teenager (good fucking riddance, François).

    Some people ARE motivated into making a living hell for you. I know it is hard to even imagine it, because most of the time we live with (to some extents) reasonable people.
    But these borderline psychos exist and often target those who are hardly believed by others.

    Anyway, my advice to OP is as most said on this thread: document everything, up to the hour of occurrence.

    Edit: forgot that post was about neighbors downstairs and not a roommate
