Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
Pretty decently. I've picked up a guitar and I've started learning with musical guidance from Brook. I've fallen behind in uni work but as others have said in this thread, it's best not to make a big deal about it. The two biggest downsides are that I can't go out to see my friends and I can't exercise anymore. And maintaining a normal sleeping schedule has become more challenging.
Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
I'm laid off (cook at a fancy place that's not doing takeout). Living in Canada I'm lucky that the gov't unemployment program they've done for beer virus covers me.
Mostly been catching up on playing video games that I've meant to play for awhile. Finished Sekiro a couple weeks ago. Also gardening and landscaping a fair bit, I'm lucky enough to live on some land. Couldn't imagine being cooped up in my old 600sq ft apartment in Vancouver.

I spend a good amount of time today reading the apology threads and I don't even feel bad about it

Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
I still work 32 hours a week (At least, on paper. It's hard to actually be productive). Work helps because it forces me to be online at 10 AM each morning to have a daily standup (a small meeting where everyone tells their plans for the day) and it means I'm still financially stable. I also live with my fiancé/gf which is pretty great, we have quite a few hobbies in common luckily.
However, my social life is really suffering. I used to see friends 3-4 times a week and go to parties and conferences which has suddenly stopped. Online activities with friends help me not getting depressed, but I can feel it getting to me.
With gf and one other friend I am playing Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective which is one of the best real-life things I have done past month. It's basically deducing a murder mystery by reading well-written content about London in the late 1800s. Connecting clues, making notes, working out crazy theories and checking the solution in the end. I can highly recommend it for those that like those sort of puzzles.

I learned today that we're white priviledged people and shouldn't be experiencing any stress over this lockdown. Apperantly life has just been too easy on me.

Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
For me, my sleep schedule is as fucked as it can get. But I do have lots of time now. So basically what I do is workout, study some, do some house chores, and waste time(play aoe3 like a game or two, smoke weed, watch twitch/youtube/Netflix, spend time on discord.) So it's both good and bad I'd say for me. It is basically an adult summer vacation. I consider myself lucky to have it.

After 25 it's fine, because your brain is mature, if you're just smoking heavily on your own before your brain is mature you're just putting yourself at a massive risk. The guy also made a thread a while ago saying he was depressed, cannabis will just make this worse.

Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
I understand all that but telling people not to do something will make them want to do it even more lol. Everyone has to make that decision for themselves whether or not they want to do drugs or not.Riotcoke wrote:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 5814002095bittersalt123 wrote:You know what else is awful?

It's good you're making him aware of information he may not have known but at the end of the way like hodgetwins used to say... "It's just advice do whatever THE FUCK you wanna DO"

Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
Well of course everyone has their own choices to make and should be free to do so, maybe my wording was wrong i should have said it in a more advise driven tone.bittersalt123 wrote:I understand all that but telling people not to do something will make them want to do it even more lol.

Exactly. I know you mean well but when dealing with drugs n shit like that the tone is everything.

Re: How are you all dealing with lockdown?
Nothing really changed for me, except a couple more places started doing food deliveries. So that's good; I got more to choose from.
I already have a ton of experience in not leaving the house. One could say I'm a professional.
