Hmm… yeah, you can tell I’m skeptical of the chemical solutions.

I’m of an age where tracking my own hormonal changes is hard enough without adding any variables. But I appreciate your thoughtful recommendation. And I’m absolutely delighted you know longer deal with the whole sudden impulse to fall in front of a bus. I’ve never jumped but the thought comes… it’s comfortable now I guess. I don’t know who I’d be without it.

Where are you doing service?

Should we also allow them to let AI write their essays?

What if all we have done is turn it into an epidemic?

I hate to be the old dude in these conversations — but yeah… sometimes you just fucking deal. 90% of my life is depression, suicidal ideation, and intrusive thoughts. Ten percent is that I’m the life of the party, the fun guy at work. Honestly, in meetings, when it’s been dark, execs turn to me and say, “Wow, silver lining?”

And I deliver.

So… I don’t complain. I raise a family. I exercise. I see depression as the norm. Why would I think anything else if it is all I have ever known?

And yet of course there are the brief moments of satisfaction when I am doing service for others — which is how I see my work, which makes my life meaningful.

Cure for depression? Ain’t one. But there is service, which is the cure for meaninglessness.

Honestly, am I the ONLY one thinking, hell yeah, I am doing this!

Another time. I passing on these temps. Think I’ll check flights to Greece.

Kind of a LEMMY question. When I scanned comments in Voyager, this comment had 2X upvotes the top comment had. How is that? Is there a setting on my end that instructs the app to show most upvoted comment at the top?

And to the topic, I picked this thread of comments because, yeah.

Moloko Plus is much more than milk.

Well, there goes that dream.

 
 

Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

https://www.joanwestenberg.com/big-tech-wants-you-trapped-the-open-web-sets-you-free-2/

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.

At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.

 

My guess is that the namer wanted the connotation to be: LET ME.

How exciting!

But honestly — I try to get people to join and inevitably they say…”Why, so I can follow all the other stupid lemmings?”
