  • Hi there. First of all, i feel kinda bad at giving advice there, because I’m not some kind of a psychology/psychiatry/lifestyle/… professional, and also I don’t know you or whether your current point of life (or whatever you perceive as this point) is a part of a downwards trend, or you just feel particularly shitty today. But anyway:

    1. stop the suicide shit right now. you meed to sort things out, and stopping existing is not the way (because you won’t really solve anything like that, right?
    2. Career: there is no reason to pursue it if you don’t feel like it. What for? Who cares? If your job is there just so you could support yourself, then think of the alternatives, including radical shit like joining a nonprofit where you will be fed and lodged? Sounds stupid? Ok, maybe it is, I just mean there are hundreds ways to live and support yourself, including that, and also moving to Albania and becoming a hike guide. Who the fuck cares? Experiment!
    3. “fucked up loser” - who the fuck is measuring fuckupness and loserness? Loser to whom? Fucked up how? This is all highly relative even if you think life is some kind of a game where you can win or lose. Aaaand it isn’t. Nobody gives a fuck, there is no fate, no winners, no losers, you just have fun as long as you stay that weird limp of cells that is able to function as a single organism. Do that, walk around and stuff.
    4. “People are nicer to homeless people…” - firstly homeless peole are just the same people as you, it’s nust in addition to any problems you have they don’t have homes. Secondly, "People* are not some hive that judges you. Again, nobody gives a fuck, people just live, do some stuff, and nobody is really spending their time tracking your success levels
    5. DM me, we can talk






  • In this exact case you will be washed away with a wave of homophoby. Because in Russia, many people with otherwise sane and non-destructive views are still homophobic. To compare with some other country, I would say it’s something like in Turkey.
    So if I was trying to improve Russian society through “good kind of propaganda”(not sure it’s a thing), I would start from something else, and not from this problematic topic. Otherwise if will be generally harder to find wide support.
    And when I’m thinking of that, homophobia in Russia is just a result of people “worrying too much about other people’s shit” - everyone knows how you should or shouldn’t live, and ready to tell you about it. So if you work on that in general, that would help.








  • I’m Russian, I started learning (school doesn’t count) chatting playing pool at Yahoo.games in the beginning of 2000s.
    Then I stopped getting translated versions of games (when I got Morrowind, my head literally hurt due to the amount of “foreign” texts I had to read). So, Internet and games taught me in the beginning.
    Then, I was asked to translate at business meetings in my (quite small) company, I did some contract translations as well.
    Then I got into IT (like 2012 or so), where you use English in many situations. In 2019, I got into an international company, where I spoke English as a main language for three years. Along the way I moved to Denmark, so now, in addition to my kinda broken English, I have a really shitty Danish.
