Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.

Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.

Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we’ll never really stop pollution because super heros aren’t real lol

They had to wait for PalWorld to sell a lot and make a lot of money so they can financially ruin these people instead of just telling them “don’t do that." make themselves a lot of money by doing nothing but make a lawsuit to steal their earnings."

It’s a pocketpair thing though as far as “abandoning” a game. As a craftopia player I know all too well how they start off and then drag their feet with minimal input after a certain time. It’s one thing I was worried about with palworld before it even came out. :/

A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.

More concise: Stability.

It’s all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that’s been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight… I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me… I gave up on the relationship bit years ago.

Yeah true, I had Sony on the brain from a previous comment in this thread lol

Good! I refuse to participate in that shit, but it really sucks to have to wait an extra year so some other schmuck can make more money…

According to a friend who had the displeasure of looking at the file size, he claims it’s 170GB when all is said and done… Stupid Sony square refusing to let steam preload…

I’m glad 8bitdo exists, at least they don’t have stick drift lol.

I’m actually kind of sad so many people deleted their reddit comments because I would have never fixed my ultimate C controller without a comment. I had no idea they had “hall effect” sensors or whatever so I thought I had stick drift until I found a reddit comment mentioning that you can’t have that and to just use rubbing alcohol to fix it, which it did!

Just want to back this one up: as someone rapidly approaching 40 who never loved himself, if anything absolutely loathes himself, repeating to yourself how absolutely horrible of a failure you are and how completely and utterly undeserving of anyone’s love you are daily will cement itself in your head as absolute fact.

I can no longer actually comprehend that I can do anything well. I’m either a complete failure, or if I did it literally anyone with 2 braincells can. I actually do not believe anyone who says otherwise, it has become an objective truth in my brain backed up by decades of “evidence.”

Musk won of course…

As usual billionaires buy get their way. Too many people that aren’t brainwashed “conservatives” on there for his liking so he took it over and now look at where we are…

I would think that would be “too much” because all the potatoes don’t matter at that point, it’s one entity. There are no more individual potatoes, we are Borg mashed potatoes!

One of only a handful of actually accurate answers here. 10 years isn’t that long to be honest. Just look back 10 years and see how similar it all is.

I have to imagine this is about the story of the White House pushing humanoid robot Zuckerberg to stop promoting COVID disinformation…

Fucking absolute scumbags… “If it’s a conspiracy it’s true! If it’s from a scientist it’s a conspiracy and conspiracies are fake!”

Much logic. Such smart. Wow

I managed to “preheat” my oven for 2 1/2 hours… That’s kind of interesting.

“Ah yes the ribs should be done by now!” quickly turned into “why do I have decayed dog shit where my brain should be?”

So I guess a close second interesting thing I accomplished is surviving not having a functioning brain lol

I actually am guilty of using that when people try to tell me “there’s someone out there for everyone.” Or “don’t worry, you’ll find someone who loves you for you.”

Like no? Life isn’t fair, there’s no guarantee of anything.

To your point I agree though, discussing what we’d like to improve is important.

Both clinically and in reference to current events/future issues.

It has been at least 20 years that I’ve dealt with depression and simply not wanting to exist anymore. It’s probably only around 6-8 that I’ve also lost hope, developed frequent panic attacks, and have become depressed about my own future. I separate that from what I’d consider to be the “clinical” depression that is just my broken brain. The future of everyone globally is a whole nother layer of depression…

As for those around me, everyone seems “happy” as far as they can be with their lot in life. Not depressed, some are just bummed about specific things.

I do something similar except I have my own cryptic way of writing my passwords that only I understand. I will never trust an outside source with my passwords ever. EVERYTHING gets hacked at some point…

I get to be depressed while having a (shit) apartment, a job, a phone, and a car.

Globally I’m hitting a home run every day. In the US I’m a worthless schmuck who will never own a home or retire.

If you don’t have a dream, do what makes money. Fuck what you enjoy.

Hobbies aren’t careers and you don’t want to end up 40 having never “found” yourself, suck working in a factory.

Unfortunately that “picking up” here looks to mostly be a bot that is grabbing reddit posts so it’s still mostly reddit. There really aren’t that many people on Lemmy so I wouldn’t expect to see much of that stuff made specifically to post here.
