again, this is all long term executive function that you are generally incapable of performing or even contemplating when depressed. maybe you can protestant-work-ethic yourself out of depression but that doesn’t mean everyone can. oh yeah lemme just keep being fucking harsh with myself, that’s the ticket.

what i want to hear is

• take a bath
• have chamomile tea, it binds to your GABA receptors
• go outside to breath the fresh air and look at the moon
• etc

simple, actionable things that don’t have barely-hidden contempt or disinterest behind them

i like how the answers are the exact same generic unhelpful drivel you hear 20k times a month if you’re depressed as well. real improvement there. when people google that they want immediate relief, not fucking oh go for a walk every day, no shit. the triviality of the suggestion makes the depression worse because you know it’s going to do nothing the first week besides make you feel sweaty and looked at and alone. like if i’m feeling recovered enough to go walk every day then i’m already feeling good enough that i don’t need to be googling about depression tips. this shit drives me insane.

i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual

the really stupid thing is that i feel like if i go and watch a film or read something for a few hours, that’s an isolated experience. i’m disconnected from the (vague) sense of community i feel online; i feel like i’m missing things.

but then i go back online and it’s the same garbage. even just 10 years ago it used to be good garbage, now it’s just stuff that irritates me

and it’s not even a functional dictatorship; meaningful bills get held up in the wheels of power for ages and ages, but they have the will to pass this grossly authoritarian bullshit within a week. sick.

frfr, i can’t believe how many smug takes i saw about this the day it passed. left and right giddy to oppress the youth just because the dances are stupid

if i’m not burning alive by 50 i’m gonna be really disappointed by all these headlines

can’t believe people’s insanely smug reaction to this. the government is banning an app that 100+ million americans use and presumably enjoy. that is insane, full stop.

word searches are such a meaningless, joyless exercise too, all the words are already there. at least crosswords make it interesting

that’s all aaron bushnell right there. most noble american act of the 20th century

i’m so glad i don’t have to worry about retirement

it’d be easier to brush your teeth if you didn’t have any teeth

because we are a stupid, prudish, and vain country. we don’t want people to enjoy jerking off too much, nor do we want to reverse the trend of mutilation, which would make the old guard feel like they’re the broken ones

100%. i’d be more interested in knowing what some guys in a bar in NYC were saying when hitler died versus reading an article about it. articles are just facts put in order. biased opinions make us human.

i usually just wait on the comments. articles are dry and boring, comments have opinions and views and emotion and juice

well yeah you simply cannot convince me that copying a sequence of 1s and 0s between two computers is tantamount to stealing
