Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

  • If you survived university this long, you must either be really good at cheating or you have imposter syndrome. My now Ex-wife graduated in a medical field 10 years ago, and the first year of her job she thought that she doesn’t know enough. Then she realized how the others around her worked, and came to the conclusion that she had enough knowledge to use her critical thinking and to know where to look something up if she didn’t know it. In the working world, noone has an issue with you looking something up you don’t know by heart.

    Also, i can only mirror what others here said - get on Github and find a project that interests you, or try modding a game you really like; It doesn’t only mean you get practice, but also gives you the self assurance you are currently lacking.







  • I’m sorry for you mate, i can feel your pain (I’m twice operated on my L5S1 disc, and struggled years with the pain). Get a second opinion. in the meantime it’s important to make sure your muscles in that area keep up - Just stay active, don’t do nothing, because that will make it worse long time.

    don’t pick up heavy weights (avoid anything above 5kg without that MRI). Make sure you lie good in bed; if the slipped disc is in the lumbar area, sleep either with legs up (just as you would in a chair, 90° angles in hip and knee), or sleep on the side with something between your knees so that your legs stay parallel. if it’s in the neck area, i heard that neck pillows work pretty well. If your bed is very soft, or the mattress is already heavily worn (or the “ladder-thingy” the mattress lies on) that’s not so good for the spine - so if a replacement bed is already on the horizon, maybe prioritize that.

    Most slipped discs get better over time - the material that presses on the nerves gets reabsorbed, so you’ve got that going for you.
