Bingles

I'm born and raised here, if anything I should have every right to hate this crap town, and yet the progressive morons will call me a bigot and close-minded for not praising their obvious gentrification process.

I've studied the history of Dundee for years and the entire city industry was built on the exploitation and abuse of the working class. The first millionaires' row was built here in the Ferry while there were slums and workhouses one street above. Why should we be proud that our forefathers were forced to work 16-hour shifts in the jute mills for borderline slave labour under 5p wages?

Why are we "proud" to be from these irrelevant towns whose only claim to fame are industries that haven't existed since at least the 1960s? I need out, this place feels like a coffin. All the people trying to delude themselves into thinking this poverty-stricken mess is somehow of any relevance and importance need a reality check.

Just noticed you're from Scotland, but should be similar routes there. If you have an academic counselor consider scheduling an appointment to discuss the road ahead.

Trades here are rough, you only choose them if you're thick and have no qualifications. Wages aren't the greatest either. I want a more academic job, something I can work towards. Maybe engineering or psychology. But those are very elitist posh subjects and take years to study.

As long as it's something I'm happy doing and financially stable I'll do it. Going the trade route feels unfulfilling. But I'll keep your advice in mind about the church. I'm a prod but don't attend church anymore. Might do me some good. Cheers.

Take care Bingles. If you're still having headaches, get that checked out. Hope you're feeling better now and completely well when you're back.

Is your headache better? Can you check with a doctor?

I got a decent sleep so my head is a bit better, just lightheaded. Thanks for asking. :>

Dang hope you feel better soon. Is it allergy or something else?

Combination of things. tension headaches, diet, medications, low sleep, and exercise. Hopefully it gets better, cheers.

Go to bed, Bigels! That’s an order!

Sir yes sir!

Without a strong teacher, it sounds like that course can go horribly off track... As for previous generations, only the fortunate are taught or have the patience to learn at a young age how to be self sufficient.

But your generation definitely has it worse overall as far as learning life skills. Do you know if public schools still have shop and mechanic classes?

It really is worth investing your time in real life skills. I finished college with Anthropology (focus on cultural) and while fascinating, it was a mistake. I think nowadays, going to a trade school is a safe investment.

Push hard, eat well!

Cheers. Managed to do 40 push-ups reps, my arms are aching but it was worth it. It's been a slow day though. Hopefully, once I get into a routine it'll become a habit and not a chore.

This has good advice for blocking stuff:
