/med/iterranean general

It's a she! She's 15 years old, I'd like to say she's healthy but she got fleas and an eye allergy... My main motivation to find a job is so that I could take her to the vet, cause my mom is too broke to pay for the vet...

how is life in Argentina going now that the government cut all the neetbux?

Didn't have neetbux before, and we still have public health services, honestly it didn't change much for me. I can still get my medication for free, and I wasn't paid anything because I don't count as disabled even though nobody wants to give me a goddamn job. The only job offer I got was to be a kitchen slave 10 hours per day, every day, for just 280 dollars a month. I'm wondering if I should've stayed there but 10 hours a day every day would kill me.

If your cat can persevere without food then you should be able to do the same because you're a superior human.

More problems.

I played the demo and that game needs quality of life features badly, so I'm not mad they're doing early access

Early access ruins the magic though. I guess I'll just try to avoid every single bit of information about it until it gets a proper release.
I want to sniff your cat.

Weird show

thots on

sad to hear, but glad you're doing your best to take care of her
Pathfinder and Rogue Trader both had early access and both were magical
also it shouldn't be too hard to avoid spoilers for a niche indie crpg

Raining.

So few replies

/med/ has fallen

Millions must post…

Grandma has a microbe around her eyes - but not on the eyes themselves - which is incurable. She has been like this for months and her face has gone through a cocktail of medicine to try and heal the inflammation. None worked.

I managed to wait for breakfast until my mom woke up, she made a simple flour and milk cake with some shredded chocolate on top. Being patient pays, it seems, hahah.
She smells so nice, I don't know how to describe it but she kinda smells like a plushie. Or like a pillow.
Yeah, I'll prepare some tea today to try and clean her eye a bit, tea does have some antihistaminic properties and is used to treat minor eye conditions. I've been looking so hard for a job but there's not many offers in my city. Sigh.
I'm truly sorry. Do you know what microbe or what bacteria/virus caused it?

I forgot the name but apparently it is caused by her glaucoma eyedrops.

Or the irritation caused by the eyedrops later got the bacteria. Something like that.

Sorry for taking some time to answer, I was busy talking with my mom about shenanigans and people, and I was investigating a bit on what glaucoma eyedrops are made of. If she's using eyedrops with antibiotic components in them she could be experiencing antibiotic resistance. And that's a fucking hell to treat. But I'm no expert on the subject.
Has she seen an optometrist for it? Maybe she should switch medicaments, or discontinue using the one she's currently using, if the side effects are causing such a reaction.

Damn it's quiet today. I imagine I killed the thread yesterday when I asked for the discord invite.

She can't stop the eyedrops. It controlls her eyes' pressure and you don't want high pressure in your eyes. She's been seen by different doctors and professors, even at hospital which is where they took a sample for testing. They gave her some new medicine with the hopes of alleviating the pain, at least.

And the symptoms.

As far as I know, the Discord - if it still exists - is as dead as a graveyard.

Damn, poor grandma... My grandma (who I don't really like, honestly) has some severe eye issues and can't see shit. I suspect it must be untreated diabetes or simply her evilness leaving her blind cause she's an asshole. She needed me to write a book for her but OH WELL, treat me like shit, and I'll do what my family knows best: ABANDON yer ass.
Maybe if the eyedrops have steroids it could be affecting her eyes, but I'm no expert. I just hope she can manage her allergy/infection soon.
Understandable, I've honestly been looking for a chill, fun discord server with active people, but it's almost impossible finding one nowadays.
Also, look at the progress on my yume 2kki fanart drawing! All done by me. I gotta finish the background and I'll post it to the YNO discord.

I've honestly been looking for a chill, fun discord server

Why on Earth would you want to join a Discord server?

No steroids for sure. She was prescribed some droplets with steroids as a remedy but only for a short period of time due to the steroids. That one actually improved things a bit for a time.

I've honestly been looking for a chill, fun discord server with active people, but it's almost impossible finding one nowadays.

I'm sure they exist, but you won't find them here. Thr best servers are those that are filled with people you already know. A group chat with friends essentially.

Also, look at the progress on my yume 2kki fanart drawing

Based biker girl.

I just want a place I could hang out and make friends in that has people with interests in common with me. I miss having a friend group. Being a NEET makes me feel extremely lonely and isolated, and I guess the internet is kinda like an escape for me.

A group chat with friends essentially.

That's the issue... The friends I have irl don't know eachother and we don't really have groups of close friends. A friend of mine was planning on making a discord server but we haven't found people, maybe I should talk to him and try to promote it...

That one actually improved things a bit for a time.

Treating eyes can be difficult, they basically have a different immune system or are isolated from our own immune system, and if the body begins to recognize them as foreign objects, you can go blind in a short amount of time.
Also I wonder where the baguette posters are. It's uncommon not seeing 'em post.

I consider /med/ like an anonymous WhatsApp group, basically the same thing, with a bit of Anon Babble's edginess to keep things interesting

The friends I have irl don't know eachother and we don't really have groups of close friends

The server I had with IRL friends is inactive because they "merged" with another group that I don't know and I have been rather distant. Nowadays I only use Discord to speak to Polebro, them occasionally, and to lurk official servers for games that I play/follow, mostly for news and updates.

Treating eyes can be difficult, t

The eyes are indeed a delicate body part. Her dementia unfortunately only make things worse.

wonder where the baguette posters are.

At work.

To prevent things from getting worse, to be exact.

And the problem seems to be caused, or partially so, from not wiping any excess droplets from around her eyes.

I for one blame the cagie and mr. Shekelberg

Yeah, I consider /med/ like a general chatroom thread. I remember on Anon Babble before it was fully spammed with porn it was fun just joining random chatroom threads and talking with people about stuff. The issue with discord servers is that they're either unactive, or there's just one single topic to talk about.

Nowadays I only use Discord to speak to Polebro, them occasionally, and to lurk official servers for games that I play/follow, mostly for news and updates.

I'm in the Yume Nikki Online server and the Collective Unconscious server, aside from other less populated servers that I found either in disboard or soc. They're not that active or conversations go stale fast. I feel like my days are boring and empty if I can't talk with people.

Her dementia unfortunately only make things worse.

Dementia

Ah fuck, I'm really, really sorry for your grandma... Yeah, I can imagine how difficult it can be treating her. My brother thanks to God is better in health than me, but I can imagine that once he gets old me and my mom, or at least me, would have to take care of his health more closely. Be patient with her, maltabro.
That makes sense, if she can't clean herself or clean her eyes from excess liquids it could create an infection.

picrel

feel like my days are boring and empty if I can't talk with people.

I enjoy my solitude but I would be lying if I said that I don't seek a chat.

Yeah, I can imagine how difficult it can be treating her.

Very. We kept her with us for as long a we could, until placing her in an old people's home when things become too difficult.

My brother thanks to God is better in health than me

That's my sister in my case. I am next to nothing in this sector.

Be patient with her, maltabro.

Honestly, I don't really have to anymore.

That makes sense, if she can't clean herself or clean her eyes from excess liquids it could create an infection.

Thing is, she has been applying these droplets for decades - way, way before dementia got her. From time to time she wouldn't wipe them well and we could tell she had just applied the drops. So, I assume the allergy or whatever it is has showed itself up recently. The carers also take good care, but maybe they need to do better with the eye-wiping.

Well shit, I got hit with suicidal thoughts again. I'm not going to do anything but it's hard to try to improve and keep fighting to get a job when my brain tells me "Kill yourself, it's not worth it, you'll never reach anywhere in life".

It's 5:10pm on a Wednesday afternoon, all the resident thread normies are listening to Christmas music as they drive home from work, using their hands-free sets to call their girlfriends (who are at home preparing high-quality, freshly cooked dinners) to tell them that they love them.

Me, but my brain is correct.

I can't help but feel a bit of envy in regards to the residents of the thread that are more normie-ish. I hate living in Argentina. It's impossible to grow economically or escape poverty here.
I still think I should've killed myself when I had the chance.

Good day med am back.
Stupid ban has been lifted.

I got the major payday, I have 9.6K + 7K on the secondary account, feels good.

Also got my secondary results of blood test, I have slightly below average for white blood cells, am I gonna die ?

That's sexist, women work too now and they don't stay at home.

Very slow thread today. Time to eat almonds, do few productive things and hitting the gym.

I was about to say, only 50 posts today what the hell happened.

checked Moselle
reminder that they do it for free
dis nigga ballin

Henlo Booma, how are you doing ?

Found a job.

Andalu-sama ?

the usual: seething at the cagie becaue how dumb and unorganized people are
also yesterday my boss dragged me to a meeting which I didn't expect to participate, only to remain silent and listen (so much that I was even doing other stuff during it), and all of the sudden fucker called my name to explain some things to the global VP from my area
luckly I was able to react quickly and explain to him in a very concise way, unlike the other retard tryhards that were craving for attention (like it would change their positions/salaries lol)

are you intending to try a fancy borger with your bonus? also I was hearing in a french radio that christmas markets are opened eastern France, I was only able to visit them in Munich and Prague but it was very cool
felicitaciones, welcome to the cagie struggle

Alriiiiiiiight, meeting of the day is done.
It went better than I expected and it was the last major event of the year for me so I can now RELAX and get back to my routine.

I'd probably botch it.

The war is reaching new levels at the cagie.
My non-confrontational personality means I am extremely stressed, it is very hard for me.
Tomorrow could be decisive, the war would not be over if it's a success, but they will have a proof of my determination.
Give me your energy /med/ders.

My psychiatrist has told me it's quite hard getting it right if you try to commit seppuku. Many people end up disabled for life if they don't get it right.
I just feel like life never improves for me no matter just how hard I try to carry on and succeed. Only the people around me succeed and get their wishes and dreams fulfilled.

I know how it feels, just keep ignoring their threats if they persist, they can't do shit to you right now.

Nice.
Take what's left.
Then I'd surely botch it.

NEETbros, we lost another one of us today.

Congrats andaluzanon. No more NEETism. I hope to see more throatussies though.

my boss dragged me to a meeting which I didn't expect to participate, only to remain silent and listen (so much that I was even doing other stuff during it)

Flashbacks from the school of adults, with the difference that I was called out for minding my own business during the meetings. The directive staff made us closing the laptops "just in case we weren't listening".

My non-confrontational personality means I am extremely stressed, it is very hard for me.

I feel you, but Iuckily I haven't had any major issues with that, I have even defended myself without any problem, so if I could, you can too.

Good for you brother, I'm happy, what's the job like?

It's remote and to do what I did in the first company I worked for, it should be pretty easy.
It will depend on how much work they ask me to do but if it's like the previous company that would be very comfortable and easy to handle.

I'm glad, are you going back to the city to live then?

Did you shit on the manager's table?

I wish. But what may happens tomorrow will be anger them more than this.

In a few months once I think the job is secure.

Do not let them grind you down into compliance. This is a war of attrition, and the battlefield is inside the minds of men.

Lately I've been talking a bit with a tall, blondish girl from Bolzano in my class and today we went to study together in the library and later had a vin brulè on the streets
I enjoyed myself but of course she's already got a boyfriend, for fuck's sake
Happens in your country?

Valencia, right? Or was it Sevilla? Or are you going to change altogether?

This did not happen in my country.
The fact that you are able to interact with attractive women and entertain them in conversation is very promising though. This one had a boyfriend, but perhaps the next one will not. It remains to be seen.

It seems all the young girls have a boyfriend, it's completely over in my country

Cuck the germoid

I can interact with women because I'm not autistic and have got passable social skills, can't change the fact I'm ugly

Vostede é un preto

I heard a rumour that if you can entertain women and make them laugh, it's like they become hypnotised and start seeing you as more attractive than you actually are.

PARTY TIME (the suffering comes right after).

To you Brune AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Until Chadeppe shows up, that's when your argument falls apart

We're almost in season.

Holy mother of God

bunion on the right foot

I tried to warn them. I tried to warn women about the dangers of wearing high heels, but they wouldn't listen.

That's not the Madonna.

To you Brune AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It was another city, I already said it a long time ago not going to doxx me again today.

Now I remember, not going to write it

There's a hot af girl attending the same gym as me. She's confirmed foreigner for her accent as I suspected, 100% Eastern European for her looks. There's another hot one too, not as hot and a local though.

The end of NEETdom is nigh.

But you're still in the neetdom for now

test

Good evening, sisters.
Rather busy day today (still spent 2 hours in the gym with myguy, that lad SPENDS a lot of time there, I already asked him like 3 times if we were leaving yet before we left for real).
Hit a PR on the chest press machine and on triceps extensions. Shoulder press were weak as fuck today.

What happened?

What happened?

Congrats.
What is your job going to be exactly? I know it's IT, but is it like backend, frontend, full stack?

Front end.

Based Neetchad staying comfy during december and christmas

I would have started now but the offer is starting January.

I went out to have a smoke. I feel too much like shit. But at least on friday my mom will get paid and I'll manage to put my curriculum in the city's secretary of office/jobs and see if I can get it least one decent part time job. I'm tired of being a neet.

this scene always crack me up

your thoughts catnegro?

new book just came in, feeling quite upbeat, even smiled a bit
just wanted to share

Then make sure to make the most out of the next month.
Also, you are a programmerchad, so I need your help. Do I need a graphics card (or a powerful cpu) to run the pc at 2160p? I don't mean gaming, I just mean browsing the web n shiet. One of my fellas asked me to get him a minipc for cheap because I know another guy, but when I connect the pc to the 4k screen (50 inch tv in this case), the 4 corners of the display just get "cut out" as in they are there, but you can't see it on the screen. So things like the "X" at the top right corner of programs, the "messages" button in the bottom right corner on the desk, the windows logo in the bottom left corner just don't fit the screen so you can't see them. In the settings, the recommended magnification and the recommended resolution are the ones selected, but if I change them it doesn't do anything.
Also, refresh rate is capped at 30 hz and can't be increased further even though the tv's refresh rate is capped at 120hz.
Cpu is i5-8400T and the hdmi cable is capable of 2160p@60hz (yes, I already tried updating the drivers)

W book. What book is it? I was wondering if I should've taken out a book to read but it was windy outside.

thoughts on wifejak iyc?

I just got 'After 1177BC', it's the sequel to '1177BC the year civilization collapsed' which I read earlier this year and really enjoyed

I know many people aren't into non-fiction history, but I love the stuff

It is a cute meme.

Forced cringe coal

Is it a laptop or a desktop?
It should be something in the settings I think, because I'm searching online and that CPU has an integrated graphics card that supposedly can output 4k at 60fps.

Cute
Those people on Anon Babble posting murdered wifejak pics are genuinely insane (like most Anon Babblefags).

Lenovo minipc.

integrated graphics card that supposedly can output 4k at 60fps.

Intredasting, the other pc guy I asked told me that theoretically it could output that much only on DP, but not HDMI (sadly the screen does not have a DP slot).

I just checked and it's as the other guy said.
But I don't know why the screen isn't showing the resolution properly, I think you should try fiddling with the settings to see if one of them looks good.

Now that I'm on my pc let me say, congratulations man. It's like fucking a goddamn needle in a haystack, treat your job like gold. Obviously don't allow your boss to treat you like shit for a shitty payrate, but make the most out of it.
Why did civilization collapse at 1177? What happened in particular during that year that made us all enter hell?
I'm not the biggest fan of history mostly because it kinda depresses me a bit seeing that shit was messed up before, and it still is, and it still will be. That we'll never eradicate poverty because we fucking suck as a species.
Cute.

Demented "groyper" homosexuals belong in a pit of fire.

I think you should try fiddling with the settings to see if one of them looks good.

Already did that sir, but to no avail. And thanks for your help.
Also, after you told me you looked it up, I also managed to find the details. I already checked that webpage out like 5 times today but I might have just scrolled past that part because it's literally the first time I saw it.

Why did civilization collapse at 1177? What happened in particular during that year that made us all enter hell?

AAAAAAAAHH GIVING YOU MY ALLL
YOU WILL MAKE IT

Great kinotastic film goddamn.

open thread

see pic

Yes.

it was the Bronze Age collapse, civilization did an oopsie and almost every major empire in the Near East except Egypt collapsed at about the same time
1177 is just the date of a single battle, it's mostly symbolic in truth it was a process from about 1200-1150, the population collapsed society regressed from cities back to farmer villages most ruins show signs of violent destruction and in many places writing was completely lost for hundreds of years
what exactly happened is hard to say, the book is centered around that mystery and largely defends the 'systems collapse' theory, that there wasn't a single cause but multiple causes that fed into each other
plagues make harvesting harder and hunger from poor harvests makes people more susceptible to disease, economic collapse makes Kings desperate enough to attack their neighbours which in turn makes international trade harder
just examples, there is evidence for all that and even natural disasters
book 2 I'm about to read is about the societies that survived the collapse

it kinda depresses me a bit seeing that shit was messed up before, and it still is, and it still will be

perfection belongs to God alone, man is deeply flawed and shall always be so, but the history is no less interesting and compelling because of it

Where did you buy the books? And is there a Portuguese version? I like to read in Portuguese.

Bro if you want to read try reading the thread ().

I read that post you doofus.

And is there a Portuguese version?

The picture shows a Portuguese version of the books.

Ooooooooh, the bronze age collapse, yeah. I knew a little bit about it, and remember this video in particular that I feel has been ingrained into my memory way harder than anything school could've taught me.
