I put my lighter and guitar picks there. I sometimes put my ring in there, too. And flash disks, memory cards... Wow, I just realized I use that section for real.

Wow thank you! Are you doing any pyrography? If so please I would like to see your work, too!

Where I live, in a formal situation, woman is expected to give hand first for handshake. Otherwise you don't.

I use acronium. Really basic app with daily notes section and many other things. Good thing about it is that I use it both on my pc and my phone and it syncs very well. Finding stuff is easy too.

Kind of. Latest releases aren't supported officially but you can safely install Monterey (10.12) with OCLP. No data & performance loss.

You are very right. It only gets the job done but that's about it. Seeing new Macbooks going on for hours and hours, it's impressive.

And good thing about 2012 and early models is that you can upgrade parts. Maybe find a 4GB model for cheaper and upgrade it.

Lastly it gives me about 4 hours of battery life, doing school work (presentations, documents). If I use PhotoShop, it lasts 2 hours and I call it a day.

I recently got a second hand mid 2012 Macbook Pro for roughly 150 USD. I live in a third world country and I would call that a good deal. It has 8GB ram, 250GB SSD. 3rd gen Intel CPU but gets the job done.

I use PhotoShop very much, besides school work. You can maybe find something similar on eBay.

Hello, actually for awhile I waited for someone to post stuff on this community, because I felt like advertising myself :)

Then I hardly ever started to check Lemmy out. Nowadays I make pickguards, I will share it with you good fellas.

Best regards.

Pretty much nothing interesting, like most days but in a way I am excited. Because I am here in the cargo place, shipping an order to USA from Turkey. My first international order and I think about how I felt and what I learnt from the whole process.. It feels good!

God.. I am sorry you gone through all that. And, it's very brave of you to explain your life, difficulties, different situations and your perspective. Thank you. You really gave me an insight, I mean it.

While reading this, I thought about my perspective to life. I am in my early twenties and try to do different stuff to earn my life, pursue some kind of satisfaction. This makes me get tired every day, and consider killing myself constantly. Now, I don't.

This summer I've gone through an emptiness, moneylessness. I agree, without money, I think about what to eat in the most economical way. That leads to more depression. Then every night I tried to find a purpose to not to kill myself and with this comment, it's done. I accept a perspective to life now.

Seeing all successful people, whether successful since born (nice family, good looking, no major illness...) or by later (breaking the chain of poverty, being the best at one stuff...) people damn kill themselves or be in a depression either thisbor that way. This fucking possibility stays there.

Seeing this situation, I accept the life on it's own. That's it. Born, study, socialize, work, get lost. Again, with your comment, I rationalized my perspective. I am, really, now happy with who I am and know how to make it be that way. Do my business, and fuck it. There'll be no miracles, there's no one to help you be happier.

Thank you. I wonder how can I prove it but you really helped me. I needed some rationalization.

I was in touch with a local luthier (guitar repairman and designer) and I started to visit him frequently. Sometimes I got my guitar modded, sometimes traded some stuff with him like pedals, keyboards...

One day he called and said he was going to move away, and wanted to give away his album collection. 100+ CD's, cassettes, movie and document DVD's, mostly original and in very mint condition. Rock, jazz, classical, all kinds of genres had he. I went to his house and returned home with 3 big grocery store bags!

That was 2 years ago and there still are stuff that needs to be listened and watched. Whenever I think about this, it gives me smile and want to do the same thing.

Thanks to him.

I love this style!

Nothing in this story makes you an AH. You try to find a better job and you have been trying for a time.

You have 12 years experience, so you are good I think. You will find a job you like soon, don't worry about staying with parents.

Or, you can have a conversation with them about your concerns about this situation?

That's the shitty pro tip I was looking for, thanks!!!

Thank you I am glad you like it. With this work, I still haven't got any agreement..

"even" you say. I live in a not small but not that kind of a big country and you get out of the coastal cities and you end up in whole another culture. I don't know the exact reasons but where sea exists, I feel home. 150-200 kilometers outside is completely different. I guess in my country, where people originally came from has to do with this topic. Coastal areas generally has people from Europe, other areas from Eastern countries, etc.

Thanks!!

Same dude! What I am trying to achieve is now in my last year of the uni, I am trying to learn a trade to make a living by doing my own stuff.

All my other friends sent CV's and shit to get work experience in the field, get certificates, improve theirselves... And here I am, learning from zero with almost no experience or any network.

But I am hopeful. Thinking about my projects makes me happy and want to do more. This lead me to watch less of that stuff and kill less time. This comment became long and does not fit to the sub but; the downside of my mindset atm is that, I become depressed when I fail at something... That makes me go lay in bed browsing YouTube. Won't go away in a week, too.
