Them blaming Milton Friedman for a shift in capitalism to (correct me if Im wrong) a rentier economy is like blaming one person for a shift in the ancient roman economy to tenant farming.

Somewhere between savage and not knowing we exist
Yeah fair enough then my bad
My bad I forgot to ask whitey for his opinion
It answers the question if you're not stupid
Oops my screwdriver just slipped
I just feel like there is no future in this country. Even though my mental health is better these past two weeks, I wake up before I'm done sleeping, even though I go to sleep at a better time. It's so frustrating because it cuts into my ability to make progress on my hobbies like language learning and exercise. I don't think I have slept 8 hours in over half a year, and at least a year and a half if we're talking uninterrupted sleep.
And I have to go back to school to start working on a real career (I have a degree but I don't use it) but it seems like it's pointless because this country is going down the drain. This is not a place I want to live in for much longer. I really don't want to spend years at school in this country. It's a fucking dump. It's so depressing to hear about other countries with their cheaper housing and education costs.
Japan, despite its recent violent history with China, Russia, and Korea, has infinitely more to gain from becoming closer to those countries than being a sacrifice for the United States.
And remember you don't ever have to justify being anxious. It never comes from nowhere. Our brains are capable of feeling anxious because having the capability to be anxious is more beneficial than not having that capability.
Hey comrade!! First of all thanks for being a big contributor and consistent presence to the grad.
I am not a professional nor do I have any real experience with these kinds of techniques, but recently (in the past two weeks or so) I've been trying to work on my anxiety through consciously thinking about it.
Instead of fighting my anxiety and telling myself there's nothing to be worried about, I just consciously tell myself something to the effect of "ok, I am feeling anxious" or "ok this feeling is there", "that's fine", etc.. Then I tell myself there is a reason for that anxiousness. And I try to think back and find potential causes for it.
This calms me down. I don't remember to do it every time but it does work to varying degrees for me. Sometimes less than others.
Just call them white boy and move on.
Whats your sleep looking like? If you're behind on (deep) sleep your body will not have enough time to recover. Cumulative sleep loss requires consistent deep sleep to fix. Right now I'm eating more, and I weighed at 79 kg (174 lbs) last week which was a two year high. But my sleep has been poor the last two weeks I skipped a workout on Saturday, and whilst I will be working out today after 8 hours sleep last night, I'm still pretty drained. What I've learned is that even if you think you're getting enough sleep, your body will know how much it actually needs and will feel accordingly. If you're lucky you might just need a mid day nap but if it's really bad it could take a week or more, iirc.
