It’s a shame that Americans have been deprived of community for so long that they feel this way. Accommodating people takes so little effort

Oh yeah that wasn’t very much even though it was so fucking good. I’ve been hearing rumors for years that they were going to bring that back and I think with BioShock success it should happen!

IntelliJ products my dude! If you go on there education side you can find the packages for free to compile yourself. There’s tons of guides online to do it.

Just got through my last chemo Friday! I haven’t been declared cancer free yet but August 20th should be the day!

What the fuck are they talking about? Bioshock is one of the most popular games ever played.

L Vue scan pro is a must if you’re into analog photography. The software that usually comes with scanners and printers generally doesn’t work on Linux and if it does it’s terrible.

I am aggressively pro isopod. Thanks for the content!

I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn’t really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.

I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.

Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that’s just really helping.

Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don’t give up!!!

Yes! Absolutely yes! But, those people do exist. They’re just a bit harder to find. This might help

Eventually you can build a massive bubble if you find the right places to be. That includes your job, your friends, your acquaintances, your grocery store and more. When I interact with full on normies it is so deeply jarring, because I do it so rarely.

But honestly you can still get lonely in that situation because you found your people and you still can’t connect. So I’d say it’s most important to be able to address loneliness in the self. Become someone you want to hang out with. Do interesting things and pay attention to non human things for a bit, like birds or interesting plants on walks, or volunteer with a community garden. Go full DIY, start biking, get a dog. If you’re single and not tied down you could go woofing for a bit, travel the world for free. Volunteer at hostiles and go solo backpacking until you either fall in love with yourself or some random person or two or three. Dang but also remind yourself that it’s ok and normal to be lonely. You can give yourself that space, but you will always be lonely if you cannot love to be around yourself.

Wow my edible kicked in while I was writing that and it’s either insane or helpful, but my sentiment is, I hope you never feel lonely for too long. Reach out anytime. Love ya, friend.

I struggle to believe anything at face value the western media reports about China.

That’s why you film everything and pull over with your marginalized peers :)

I live in Florida and these opinions are very rare among any major city’s population. In fact, I just took a group of kids to an art event at the capital and they drew (in chalk) a trans themed square on the ground just outside of one of the legislative chambers.

Please understand that the south is full of the most brutally progressive people. Everything we do is intentional and FOUGHT for. That is why our politicians try so deeply to oppress us. It’s bothering them so much that it’s not working.

I got married Monday at a Mexican restaurant. We decided Friday night, bought pawnshop rings on Saturday, and got the certificate on monday morning before work. My cousin is a universal life church minister so he signed it for us and our waiter was witness. As untraditionally romantic as this seems, it was one of the best days of my life.

Last week I got the breast cancer diag, so hopefully this is more positive :)

I’ve slowly been adapting to this! I love having all my jars, it’s like living in a lab with specimens

I used to spend my lunches watching videos on reddit’s /r/videos and for yeeeeeeeears they would just post videos of influencers talking about how they’re getting fucked by youtube. I rarely go to YouTube, I rarely use most social media I just wanted to waste my 5 to 10 minutes of eating a sandwich and watching a silly video or something, But I suddenly was very knowledgeable about all the stupid YouTube drama and it felt to me like the solution was to go somewhere else, in fact I got so fucking annoyed by these constant bitching about a garbage website that I stopped this lunch tradition entirely (But not before posting a long rant like an old man yelling at a cloud). However if there was an exodus that would also be admitting that these influencers would have to basically start over or hope their followers would follow them. They’re tied to their income I guess. I find it pretty despicable but I think that’s the reason. These people make a wild amount of money and it’s hard to walk away from it out of principle (for them, cause they scared lil b-holes).

My thinking cap finally revealed it to be capitalism.

I cannot think of any other word that starts with c and ends with m. What is wrong with me

Lol ok I’m sorry, is it cum?

Unfortunately I have tested positive for breast cancer. Stage 3 IDC. I’m scared of what comes next, I’m only 36 and I have a 5 year old son.
