Let me know if that went through

Really, really not in a great place right now and I'm not sure what to do.

https://nyaa.si/ is what I use but I don't torrent that much anime.

I still can't get over just how quickly the MeToo movement died the moment Biden started running for president and I don't think it gets talked about enough.

More computer errors should just give common solutions along with the error. A program needed a dependency but that dependency doesn't install automatically. Fair enough, but how was I supposed to know. I want a little clown to pop up at the corner of my screen and say "Hyuck hyuck!" and tell me where to click.

I hate that everybody knows everybody here. All the paranoia and lack of privacy with none of the sense of actual community or mutual aid.

Throbber? I 'ardly know her!

Are there any good resources for reading about the state of feminism in the DPRK?

I think emojis are my autistic special interest. I love looking at emojis, and researching what meanings people ascribe to emojis in certain contexts, and looking up what new emojis they'll add, and making little pictographic stories with emojis. Emojis are neat and it kind of pairs with my font obsession I've had since I was a kid just downloading new fonts to look at and not even install sometimes because I just liked looking at them.

It sucks because I know it could be worse, I've lived through worse and I have to walk by a homeless camp ever day to work like a too-on-the-nose reminder of what will happen if I ever stop working no matter how bad things get. It's dehumanizing, it wears down on the fucking soul and I think a lot of people, even in leftie spaces, really do not get quite how low it can get. Because think about it. Whose stories do you hear about? It's always the people who were in a rough spot, but hey y'know what they dug themselves out eventually with hard work and a will to survive! But why don't you ever hear about the people who didn't make it out? Oh. Right. They're not around to tell their story.

I'm in a similar situation and I think if you're "freaking out and skipping work" then I want you to know it's not your fault and you shouldn't feel bad that you're going through such a rough time with so little help that you snap like that. I don't know what the answer is when mental health issues are keeping you from functioning and you can't get any help that isn't just "pick yourself up by your bootstraps", or the same sentiment but worded more nicely, "drink water and take it one day a at a time". I know for me I'm tried of being told to take baby steps when I'm trying to tell people I just can't even do that sometimes, I can't just will myself to feel better and do better. I don't want to be depressing but honestly I don't think there is a "winning strategy", it's a fucking joke that anyone should have to go through this. But I hope you can get assistance, sorry for hijacking your post for my rant.

Stop upvoting my posts, I posted them at 2am the night the mega was supposed to change for a reason. 😾

I switched to X11 exclusively, I have too many prgorams that don't seem to play nice with Wayland.

I'm thinking about just not going in to work. I have enough saved up to coast by for a bit, I'm just tired of having to work through everything I'm going through, for management to be so laughably incompetent, letting things pile up and get so bad that if the fire martial came he'd shut the place down, not that he ever seems to do his job eother, and still I'm the one getting harped on for not doing enough. Fuck it, good luck finding anyone that will do everything I did. I'm going to do a fools etrand and apply for disability again, but I'm not expecting anything. Seems like whenever I stop and think about how my life has gone it makes me laugh, like whoever wrote my script had a sick sense of humor and a love for twisted irony but it's hard not to just laugh at the absurdity of it.

Do you think the people in charge will even let Biden lose or do they want Trump to win? Or, is there enough division between the powers that be that even they're struggling to figure out which president to elect?

I'm literally just beyond the edge of the red circle so I guess I won't see it

Another reason my poor ass doesn't trust therapy. My parents were very dismissive of my own mental health struggles, which is ironic because my stepmom had an assload of medications for her mental problems and went to therapy. But therapy for her was like how Tony used it in the Sopranos, it didn't help because she was a narcissist and just weaponized what she learned in therapy against me. Which is ironic because I guess that's the sort of thing you'd tell your therapist. Does anyone know where I can get ketamine?

So long as you're using an adblock you should be fine. I haven't had an antivirus installed for years and when I use Windows I go out of my way to disable Defender and I haven't had any issues.

Nope, it was all in my head!
