Does anyone else feel like they're in a constant state of just... waiting? I'm in my early 20s, i'm in my final semester of a commerce degree which I hate (have to study online as I'm unvaxxed), I'm completely banned from society and my only current form of income is a government allowance I get for caring for my disabled grandfather as I can no longer work. I barely speak to my friends and family anymore as they're all vax cultists and I'm struggling to find a way to progress in life amidst all this uncertainty. What are you guys doing to cope with all this bullshit? I feel like I need to be using all this alone time to learn some new skills etc. but don't know where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Grab a bit of paracord and learn to tie knots.
It helped me learn how to develop my own knots and think with parts of my brain I haven't utilized since preschool arts classes.
It kinda opens you up to thinking in ways of object utility rather than just "if I want to do that, I have to buy something for it." No, you'd be surprised by how much you can do with just a bit of cord.
Other than that, I'd say get in the kitchen and learn to cook. Onions are your secret weapon. Learn to cut an onion to master the knife, and then use butter for crispy glazes on food and oil for stuff you don't want to burn.
If you have an electric stove, don't put it past the 8 notch unless you want charcoal and a wrecked non-stick pan, use a lid to cook eggs evenly, and set timers even if you don't think you need to -- if only to get a better idea of how long things take to cook.
Other than that, if you want to start a craft that makes something, learn to crochet, or anything that takes yarn because it's easy to undo a work piece and reclaim the material.
Hope that helps.
I love this post. Posts like this is why I’m here. People here are the absolute epitome of what the MAGA movement is. Love and encouragement🥰
I have been learning to cook a few meals lately, they've kinda sucked but I'm getting there lol. I like the knot idea, i'll give that a try.
Onion Soup recipe:
2 sticks of butter, 2 cups of milk, 4 tablespoons sour cream on low heat in deep sauce pan. Garlic salt, salt, and pepper once butter melts.
Fry 2 medium size yellow onions in large pan with a little oil, diced, then put in the above sauce pan as soon as onion gets a little transparent/brown.
In the now free large pan, cook your choice of bacon until crispy. Keep covered with lid and turn over only once to avoid mess.
Once bacon is crispy, take it out, lightly pat it dry with paper towel, then chop it up with a large knife into thumb-sized chunks.
Drop the bacon into the soup, and drop two small spoon-fulls of the bacon left in the pan into the soup and stir very well, again on low heat. This is not necessary, but will give it a very velvety flavor.
Finally, add half a bag of frozen pearl onions. This is if you want something a little more hearty. Up the hat to 80% after dropping them in frozen and keep stirring. Once the pearl onions are fully cooked and pop in your mouth with goodness, then take off heat and cover for a couple minutes. Once it settles, it is done.
To take it to the next level, cook some hamburger patties with light seasoning and pour the soup on the patty like an onion-based Salisbury steak.
This meal will fill you up really really good. Your eyes will always be hungrier than this meal, so don't take too much otherwise a lot will go to waste on your plate.
Cheers!
Edit: Save bacon grease for an oil substitute in the future. Seed oils might be going the way of the dodo bird once we figure out just how much hormonal damage they can do.
Do you listen to Clif High by any chance? Seed oils are a big fat NOPE
Yeah, I've been checking in on him.
I've known soy is bad even before the soyboi memes came about.
I learned "vegetable" oil and canola oil were bad since about 2011.
But olive oil being bad threw me for a loop. I'm not sure about that assessment from him just yet. If I didn't cook with olive oil, I don't know what I'd use other than a crap-ton of bacon grease. There's just no other way to cook certain things without them burning unless you use oil of some type.
avocado oil could work
I’ve used the avocado oil. Learned it from Clif. Also his use of a Roux when making bread. Perfection! Thanks, Clif. I admit, the Olive Oil thing threw me for a loop, too.
I have always stayed far away from Canola oil, and crops grown NEAR where Canola grows. It, and all GMO crops are fucking up our poor bees.
Fellow Clif fans! Love it!
