  • You are likely a troll, but still...

    You talk like you have never been down in the well, treading water and looking up at the sky, barely keeping your head up. You're screaming for help, to the God you don't believe in, or for something, anything, please just let the pain stop, please.

    Maybe you use, drink, fuck, cut, who fucking knows.

    When you find a friendly voice who doesn't ghost your ass when you have a bad day or two, or ten, or a month, or two, or ten... Maybe you feel a bit of a connection, a small tether that you want to help lighten your load, even a little.

    You tell that voice you are hurting every day, that nothing makes sense, that you just want two fucking minutes of peace from everything, from yourself. And then you say maybe you are thinking of ending it... And the voice agrees with you.

    There are more than a few moments in my life where I was close enough to the abyss that this is all it would have taken.

    Search your soul for some empathy. If you don't know what that is, maybe Chatgpt can tell you.

  • It's not easy... The more you try the easier it gets, though.

    When I was younger I thought that "not giving a fuck about what others think" meant that I could be angry and rude, cold, aggressive, scary.

    Nowadays I see it as making myself "vulnerable" by trying to be kind, happy, and to try to make others around me happier, even just a little bit. Not giving a fuck if someone rolls their eyes at me for putting out positive energy is the true form of "not giving a fuck about what others think".

  • Clean break. Stop texting, talking, thinking about this person (you will end up doing so anyway so no need to go out of your way).

    Break ups SUCK and it can take a while to feel normal again, but the one thing that can make it worse is dragging out the communication and texting and Facebook stalking etc. Gotta let me yourself heal around the place that this relationship took up in you.

  • I see some folks saying sarcastic stuff about this, which is valid certainly.

    For me a grounding statement like this can help remind me that I don't need to be guilty about something stupid I did decades ago. Or help me refocus on the present when I am in an anxiety spiral.

  • Sometimes it is OK to chill in bed. If you don't want to do what you're doing, maybe think about something small you can do, like maybe slide down to sit on the floor. Maybe by taking some small steps you'll find yourself moving.

  • These are neat. Wonder if anyone does scalie types.

  • I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access... Etc

  • Man can be a bit arcane, but they generally have the keys to the kingdom.

    Admittedly, I have years of experience, but still.

  • What do you need to live? Water.

    What are the great lakes full of? Water.

    Lake Superior thinks it's above the rest, a clear target for an attack on the nation's water supply... By blowing up Lake Superior!

  • LLMs cannot think or draw conclusions, it's just guessing based on the content of old reddit posts.

  • I've never understood why breeding exponentially forever is somehow expected to work... Like infinite expansion capitalism, it's ignoring the fact that things are finite.

  • What are people thinking, switch 2 vs steam deck, and switch 2 vs switch 1?

    I still play my switch often, not sure which way to jump if I were to upgrade.

  • Wild to read about RSD and see myself in every single sentence.

  • I was never able to do well enough in school to get anything other than a 2 year degree. I have a good white collar job and have been in IT (for lack of a better word) for 20 years or something at this point.

    School isn't everything.

  • As someone who was bullied, and who still has flashbacks and triggers from it... Yeah I would try to forgive them, but I'm not going to feel bad about delivering some consequences.

    Like I'm glad that you grew as a person but the injured party should decide if the person who inflicted the injury gets a free pass. And either way they're 100% correct.

  • I'm a bit of a coffee snob but a correctly made and balanced coffee doesn't need anything added to it, imo

  • It's okay. Fun enough for a bit but there "best" weapons and mech parts so it starts becoming a grind looking for them.

    Can set up your mech with different weapons but some types are vastly superior to others.

    Fluid and fast combat, and you can borg up your pilot.

  • The laziness thing resonates hard for me. When I am interested in something I can spend hours and hours learning everything about it and tinkering with it, when I am not interested it is incredibly challenging to muster the effort at all.

    Deadlines and panic help, and if I can trigger my focus Ive been pretty successful with my efforts in general.

    I still find myself doubting that I have ADD. Go figure.

  • Great breakdown, thank you!
