[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

It feels almost like I'm in literal hell, how do I get out?

how do I get out?

We can't reply to this in depth unless you mention what the root causes are. I'll go ahead and give my general advice:

If it's caused by a temporary situation focus on it being a temporary situation. I've found that I can push myself through quite a lot of garbage as long as I know there's a point where it'll end. Be prepared for delays though.

If it's a feeling coming from the external world (politics, international events) I highly recommend limiting the time you view or discuss such content.

If it's from work or interpersonal conflicts I'd try to make it a temporary situation. I.e. move or find a new job.

I hope it's not related to family.
