I’m supposed to go out in less than an hour and then I’m supposed to run a D&D game when I get home. What the hell was I thinking?! I just want to hide and sleep :(

Do I get to poop in a box?

The reality of life is that we will all die. Some will die quietly, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Some will die messily, painfully, alone and afraid. This is the reality we must all live in and accept.

It’s very possible that our species will die out. That is not an inherently bad or evil thing. Countless species have come and gone from Earth. Whether we destroy ourselves through war and ignorance, or we continue to thrive, doesn’t matter right now. What does matter is you.

You describe symptoms of depression and anxiety. You are sad and scared, and this is in part due to feeling powerless to fix the world. However, the only thing you have power over is yourself. Focus on helping yourself before you try to help the world. Try to find peace within yourself before seeking it in the world. The world is not, and has never been, a place of peace.

If you’d like practical advice, then I’d say stay away from weed and THC if it’s making you anxious. Keep away from alcohol as it will just exacerbate your depressed feelings. If you haven’t already, please discuss your feelings with a therapist and see a psychiatrist for mental health diagnoses and treatment. If either of these hasn’t worked for you before, I’d urge you to seek second opinions.

Don’t forget the absurdly bad re-release of Warcraft 3!

This gets easier with practice (and ADHD meds), but is so stressful!

Does Nixon’s head in Futurama count?

I’ve got it toooo!

“Must… make… exponential… profit… Line must go up!”

Because it’s profitable, and all the corporate side of things cares about is profit.

Literal Nazis

I played Starfield on the Game Pass and was bored to tears after four hours. It made me want to explore space, but everything is so half-baked in Starfield that it drove me to reinstall and start playing more No Man’s Sky.

I’m an iPhone heathen so I don’t have access to the Android apps. I’ve been using Mlem and it’s pretty similar to Apollo. Not as feature rich yet, and sometimes it’s a little quirky, but not bad for a relatively new app.

Nice to know I’m not alone in my struggle to discern reality from imagination.

I’m bored and lonely. Used to go to Reddit but Apollo shut down, so now I’m here.

In my humble opinion: Crepes > French Toast > Pancakes > Waffles

It must be nice to live in a country that actively protects its people.

Can they keep using “slams”?

Closed, locked, and BLOCKED. What if monsters can pick locks?
