I see where you're coming from, and you're strong to be able to do that. Kudos.
The thing is, why does what you're doing work? Because the goals you are oriented to are contradictory to the self-destructive thoughts and win out. If you want to have a thriving life and career and have constant income and stay alive, like many do, then yeah it doesn't make sense do listen to those thoughts. You're looking at this like your basic goals are the basic goals of everyone. In other words, you're only writing your workaround for your OS. Not everyone works the same way, so trying to shove a solution on them because it 'works' for you and calling them stupid for not having tried it doesn't make sense. Sure, you can suggest it, but the old "just get it together" really doesn't work for everyone. -

I'm not saying that you should be giving up or that anyone should be giving up. Yes, you should not seek problems. The thing is you are telling them what they are thinking and what they are feeling and what they should be feeling and fuck that like seriously I don't care if you're tough they're not even fucking ugh you don't have to force the fucking I don't even just when you say shit like your original comment, it really doesn't fucking help. I don't care if shaming yourself is the only way you can get shit done; I do have a similar system in cases. Forcing that system on other people Doesn't. Fucking. Help. They're not whining my god. Needing an outlet of people to talk to because you need a way to express your emotions is not 'whining.' Whining is when you are making a problem out of nothing, which if you think they're whining then you may as well be fucking god because you know them better than they do. Don't take this personally you sound like an okay person. -
@AndSoWeCode What you seem to be doing is discouraging them from using this site to vent emotions, or, as you like to call it, whine. The thing is, they need some way to express/deal with the shit they're going through. No shit they're not in a good/healthy place right now, but typing out emotions on a site where people can empathize and provide answers in a tough time of their life is MUCH healthier than using alcohol to put the world aside. Telling them to suck it up is just going to make them A: tell you to fuck off or B: stop using this site and continue/worsen bad habits. Yes, they are currently spiraling into a constantly worse situation, but telling them to quit whining and gtfo just going to make it worse. Talking to people is one of the best ways to get out of a loop like that. Let them do that.

@AndSoWeCode Why are you so sure it's not? Because it is, as I said. lol speech 100

when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
TLDR: Read the post.
Part of me watches the day fly by as I work through the various stories and issues my company has as we walk through the various phases and clean up of their own stupidity of outsourcing. I guess it would be unfair to say “stupidity” It was really a money thing. Excuses aside, the alcohol today tastes amazing as I work through the issues, nothing is ever the same, nothing is ever redundant or boring. There are times where you want to pull your hair out, jump off a building and question why the hell any one would write code, specifically Laravel this way.
I watch the internet from now and then and see the cry babies whine and complain about GitHub and Microsoft jumping into bed and their favourite, and mine too, editor falling into Microsoft’s hands.
It’s disgusting and completely childish, but I digress. The last time I was here the alcoholism and the loneliness had begun pushing me towards the Nicotine and suicide. I have managed to obviously push through and watch the money come in only for adult life to take it away, I guess that’s life. Complaining about it will do nothing other then show others how much control you lack in your own life. You quiet your complaints and bury them deep inside your mind where they fester and stir and become drowned in alcohol.
Dating is even harder, especially when you work from home, so much so that I have completely given up there, any semblance of social life is buried in Final Fantasy 14 online, where pixels and text other people write have become my friend, at least for a moment or two before the work takes over and I sit in a room blaring music and watching the code I write, appear on screen like some savant who has high functioning autism but can create amazing works of art. I don’t think I am autistic though.
The truth is I don’t mind my job, I love the money and the freedom as I stated before.
Code for me is like a seed of anger that starts deep in my core, festering, eating away at me, killing me slowly and branding me a fool. The problem is the best feeling, when there is a problem I can solve it with code, when there is a problem that cannot be solved by code I take solace in the problems that can be. I don’t like people, I hate offices and I despise dealing with my own personal issues, I would rather drink and vape until the nicotine and the alcohol has made me sufficiently numb.
Code is a place I can escape, a place I have control, a place where I don’t feel like blowing my brains out at the stupidity of other people. Have I mentioned that I hate people?
The internet is full of idiots, people ranting and raving about this and that and how it affects them oh so much, when they don’t even let their own code, there own programming problems, and in most cases shitty solutions, affect them. Look at this GitHub thing, the idiots are running around with their heads cut off, waiting for the world to end or in most cases acting like it has. Companies get bought, bill get paid, people leave each other – Shut the fuck up and deal with it.
I guess if you look back at what I have written you could say the same thing to me, boo-fucking-hoo working from home sucks sometimes, grow up and deal with it like an adult. Fair enough, I’ll take my lumps. Excuse me as I continue to drink this post away and watch the downvotes come in. I guess honesty comes with a double edge sword.
And yes I would rather use alcohol as a solution then deal with the issues.
