Literally every single person uses anti-depressants. It's just that most people produce said anti-depressants themselves in their brain or body. If you can't make a certain substance, store-bought is fine.

You desperately need to understand the "sunk cost" fallacy

This is great. Some of the best friendships I've had are through work.

Yes and no. Not saying not to make friends at work, but it is not necessary to be outside work friends either.

You don't have to be best friends, but you definitely have to be friendly.

Being friendly and being friends is not the same thing.

Carrie Snow once said about friends at work; "the relationships are real, but they're site-specific."

My only friends (I say this loosely as none are particularly close) are current or ex colleagues. I don't meet people elsewhere.

i think what they mean is don't mix work and relationship, friendship etc... obviously it would be best to be on the same level as your coworkers, it makes work more fun, but there isn't any need to hang out outside of work if you dont want to.

I've always found work-friends to be a fail. It just gives them more to talk about you with.

In nursing, NEVER be friends with co-workers. Women are b1tches to eachother. I have seen it many times, and I also have learned this the very hard way.

I agree. You don't go to work to make friends. If you do it's a bonus, but they're colleagues for ~40 hours a week.

I have a friend that I met at work. We are still friends after she left, and I stayed. Going on 23 years of being good friends.

Yes, but... It's important to remember that having a friendly and collegial relationship with a workmate does not in and of itself make them your friend. They may just be getting along with you. There may be limits to what they want to hear of your personal life, or confide of theirs, and they may feel more loyalty to the job and to their career than they do to you.

I think it's mostly because if you get close and have a falling out which happens sometimes, now you're stuck working with them and it can be difficult, especially if they are your superior, if one party is less professional, and your proximity to them all the time. I worked with someone for a while I considered my friend and I caught her making fun of me behind my back when I was watching security cameras. She and I worked alone in close quarters together every single day and it became hard for me after that. If there were other people around it would have been easier to just be away from her but... I tried to pretend I didn't care but it definitely hurt me. So it was a lot of silent 8 hour days working by the side of this mean-girl. After that, I tended to be friendly at work but I didn't hang out with anyone after work unless we didn't work closely together.

If you don't want friendship, at least have a pleasant professional relationship.

I don't think it's a bad idea to have friends at work, but please for the love all things holy, do not divulge every detail of your life while at work. That's what happy hour is for. Also, keep in mind, sometimes those you might think of a friends are just going along to get along. Be careful who you trust with your secrets.

I just don't make friends. Period.

Drink more water. Take in less of the processed stuff. It’s not rocket science. As OP says, your body can do this already: you just need to give it the chance to cope.

Quite so. There's a reason that 99% of people do it one way with no problem,

Yep, I thankfully had a great trainer who said that if you're in pain and not having fun, then you'll quit. Push to the point you feel you can't do anymore and then stop.

This, I listened to all the CEO's 'I only sleep 4 hours max'. Tried it and ended up having a mental and physical breakdown because my body couldn't get the rest it needed to recover.

Waking up at 5 AM is horrible. I did it for 7.5 years because of work, and it never got less horrible.

What's wrong with a comfort zone? It's a COMFORT zone. Who wants to be uncomfortable?

I don't see how even the dumbest people out there do not see this is plain stupid and dangerous.

As a programmer, I have a general formula for when people asked me to work on multiple projects at the same time. If I estimate task A is 1 week, and task B is 1 week one done after the other, and I'm required to do them at the same time the estimate is 4 weeks. And it goes up doubling from there for any more projects. Giving the people involved both estimates usually solves the problem, but in rare cases with two managers (yes that was a thing for a time) both would want their projects worked on and wouldn't "wait". So, they both got their projects later than it should have taken.

Obligatory reminder that the whole "credit score" concept is exquisitely American and mighty stupid. Most sane banking systems reward *not* having an outstanding credit line instead. Solvency is calculated on assets and recurring income, not on whether you are already in debt.

What Three Words app is your friend in this situation too. Certainly, UK responders use it - I’ve helped an ambulance locate someone in a park. Normally, they I use postcodes, but these are useless in open areas.

Don't forget to use alkaline water to put the lemon in to really get all health benefits /s

This is a legitimate technique in pastry making, common in making isomalt decorations. Does it work? Yes. Is it dangerous? F**k yeah. Do it only if you know how and with proper equipment, but it's not altogether stupid.

Who does that? If cleaning drains with bicarbonate it always need a chaser of vinegar and water, then the bubbles might clean your drain, but I've always found that boiling water and a suction thingy does the trick.

Could also get you arrested for impersonation.

"Do it scared"??? That's just begging for trouble. 'Do it anyway', maybe, depending on the context, but if you're scared you can't think straight and that's when trouble starts.

A co-worker was once astounded that I kept receipts. I explained that this allowed me to check my credit card statements each month. I was once victim to a repeat charge scam, and was able to report it to the card company (later, the FBI wrote me a letter to ask if I’d stand witness at the trial, so it was effective - I had to decline on geography grounds). I’m amazed that anybody wouldn’t check everything they spend.

Rice -being very dry- is a good medium to extract some moisture. Salt would be even better, but it damages stuff. Dryers usually come with heat, and sometimes it damages the plastics. All these work for wet electronics provided you don't turn them on before and there are not other associated damages. I usually suggest using silica cat litter, that is readily available in quantities, cheap and is the same stuff you find in the silica gel packets.

I hate that in the passed 10 years I have yet to find an afforable mattress that would let me flip it over and still be comfortable. They're all one sided...

I think that’s what happened to me- my dad swears that the nurse induced my mom’s labor at a well visit a few hours before. I was also “in distress” during labor and ended up being an emergency C section. Both me and my mom were ok!

Or frozen peas?

Here in Spain, a type of vinegar is sold specifically for cleaning. It works brilliantly, is pet friendly and non-toxic.

Why freeze a hard drive?asking for an enemy.

I believe they use it around the kitten's neck to stop the fleas from escaping to the kitten's head to avoid the water as it is bathed. Not to kill the fleas.

Nothing happens unless you make it happen. I've been single for a long time and always get told 'just stop looking and it will come!'. BS. Maybe Some people are lucky enough to be attractive and other people will pursue them. But the rest of us? We have to put ourselves out there, its never going to just drop in our laps. Had a friend who took the 'it'll come when I'm not looking' approach. For TEN YEARS. When he finally took my advice and made the effort? He found the woman he married, and they are expecting a second kid.

We live in a hard water area and it's great for cleaning the toilet below the water line(removing the water first). And I often put bicarb in the washing machine. It's not the end all and be all but both have some very good uses together and separately.

This is stupid. *Some* foods are effective applied to hair (honey)
