So what if the author is privileged? Unless you're living in a mud hut and subsistence farming, you can count yourself among the privileged as well. I guess you don't get to write anything on the internet because you might offend someone, somewhere. I love hearing about how people make deliberate choices about their life and their work, even if they are starting with something more than the average person.

I love hearing it too, I'd like it to be well-received, even by those human beings living in "mud hut and subsistence farming" should they encounter their writing.

That's ridiculous. If I'm writing a recipe, I don't put 50 disclaimers in it about how I know not everyone can afford chicken and how I am so privileged to have food. Why would the author need to clutter up their writing in that way?

>My point is that I cannot afford not to work I think you are getting the skepticism from others because most of the time these limitations are artificial and self imposed. I certainly have felt that way when I was severely depressed and fed up with my job/life.

OK. I don't care much for your sympathy.

Penicillamine (metabolised penicillin) causes copper depletion reduces Interleukin-2 which increases the risk of some cancers and the effectiveness of the white blood cells.

Re Penicilin: the 'short term' benefits of not dying from a lung infection are pretty significant though. We might have better drugs today, but it was quite a miracle back then.

I'm not knocking the use of antibiotics, but you never get a GP telling you to take a copper supplement after course do you?

Getting the diet right in the first place can also help enormously with prevention.

And I find some medical tests can actually qualify me with a disease just from taking some supplements, like taking creatine and then my estimated glomular filtration rate shows high levels of creatinine which is used to indicate some stage of kidney disease all because the test cant factor in creatine supplementation.

Or I could take above RDA amounts of B6 which will increase my immune system response but the test could also indicate me with a different type of disease, and its not until we are several tests later do the medical experts start enquiry about my diet? We dont live in the 1990's or earlier when vitamin and mineral supplementation was a novelty, its fairly wide spread now.

You are the one that moved the goal posts all the way from:

"most of us don't have the luxury to take a break from work."

to

"I want to be taken care of and others to do all the work"

> On my therapist’s suggestion Where do you all find therapists? I see that its super trendy to have one now and admit it but at the byproduct of them being pretty booked! what do?

I interpret this as you may not have had previous experience with therapy that's focused on you. If I'm right, then my two cents is, avoid telehealth. The convenience is not worth it, the stakes are way too high and technology is nowhere near capable of replicating the intimate, human experience that you get (for free b/c the cost is tragically the same) by physically sitting across from another person. Other than th…

> Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

News to me

Okay, I'll avoid telehealth.

No idea what the conversation prompt would be, I just want to hop on the trend, and tell people, mostly women, that I hopped on the trend. People are like "more men should have therapy", okay sure can't wait to casually mention that. If there is some silver lining of actually having something "unpacked" or introspected, then ideally I'll be a beneficiary of that too.

Why do you have to be so obnoxious?

I quit my job too. I learnt that you should move fast to validate and launch projects. There also needs to be hard benefits for users. Set deadlines to launch your MVP. Some things I have worked on: https://tradecast.one Automated crypto trading. The main benefit here is obvious, making profits. https://cxo.industries Business tools for startups. This is the project that lots of people were interested in, but not man…

Any luck so far?

Right now only CxO has launched. Not many people were interested in trying it out. I believe the reason is lack of product/market fit as the existing features aren't enough to hold peoples' attention.

However I am planning to implement features that are far more interesting and closer to what people have asked for. I launched to get a working web app out the door in the spirit of shipping early. So it's minimum but perhaps not viable.

I want to launch the MVP of TradeCast next month, which will be demo trading only. I'll soon know whether there is product/market fit. But then I was also scratching my own itch when I built it.

There has been some interest in Nexus Dev Tools, which is encouraging, despite the admittedly sparse information on the landing page. I plan to release some code next month and will take it from there.

> "So, from one to another, just remember it’s quite the privilege to publish a statement declaring in a public space that you’re “taking a break” from work." Why this anger towards the author for doing what he considers to be the best thing for himself? Yes, being able to take a break from work is a privilege. But it isn't one that people should be publicly shamed for when needing to exercise it. Rather we should wo…

My intention was not to express anger, wokeyness, etc. but I can see why that might be interpreted here. I identify qualities of myself in the author. So this isn't misplaced rage, more of a plea packaged as contempt to cut through this internet posturing we all do in this public place. +1'ing / sandwiching critique with agreeable statements is more of the same social network bullsh*t that I come here to escape from.…

Very literally. "We'll get a new front-end resource soon". "We're opening two more backfills for backend resources". "We need a front-end resource to unblock this ticket". I have a interview on Monday which I will decline. Literally copy pasting from their meeting invite - "Request to panel-Please Take Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof and share the Feedback along with IRF post completion of interview." It's…

What’s a resource snapshot? A weird way of saying ‘your impression of the applicant’?

"Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof" - It means a screenshot of the interviewee and their ID proof together.

It's a virtual interview invite. They usually ask the interviewees to hold up their ID proof, then take screenshots, before starting the interview.
