And with the AI bullshit, I’m reminded of Rule of Acquisition #82: The flimsier the product, the higher the price.

Fuck HP and HP memes

And dick. Don’t forget dick 🍆

Same. I went vegan before watching it. Tried doing so and only made it about 15 min in. So hard to watch.

Not as much a book, but the documentary Dominion. If someone can watch that and not understand reasons for going vegan if not choosing to do so themselves, I seriously question their moral compass.

Newsome: Protect kids!

Trans kids exist.

Newsome: Except them. Fuck them.

Nailed it. Maybe a nation who’s entire system of checks and balances that it beat off to for years can be toppled to fast and utterly doesn’t deserve to be rebuilt.

The experiment is over folks. It’s been dead for a while. 2025 just opened some people’s eyes to it.

Sometimes I fantasize about the parents who raised and subsequently deserted me weren’t my biological parents. And somewhere out there, my real ones are looking for me and want me in their lives.

Ofc I’d probably let them down too

Yeah I learned the hard way that it’s easier to lie on those forms when you already are in therapy. I’ve had GPs try to play psychologist rather than treat the reason I came in. The last time it happened I accused the doctor of being a mechanic who just talked about the car and its history instead of changing the oil as what’s hired to do so. She was fired by me in that conversation.

I’ve also seen it that way and have been coached by my psychologist on it. Ultimately, for me, it was best to set an expiration date. The date on which I could finally do it with minimal guilt. This actually had several positive impacts in my life.

First I quit using suicide as a first or second resort when coping. Instead it has become more of a fleeting thought as I know I’m “not allowed” to do so yet (while obviously still lingering as seen by my initial comment). Second was giving me a finish line. A finite date where I knew the pain would end (chronic conditions are the worst). Third was a reminder that I only have X days left, so make the most of them. It turns death from this amorphous thing into a clear cut “this is it”. I KNOW when the ride ends down to the hour.

The caveat to this is the same as literally everything else in my life: I reserve the right to change my mind as new information is introduced. I’ve made a commitment to not do it until the date I’ve set, but as the date approaches, I’m not ruling out examining the evidence as presented and potentially pushing it out longer.

A LOT of peace of mind here.

I dig this! Thanks for sharing!

And then should you have a failed attempt, you go exponentially deeper into debt due to those new medical bills and inpatient mental healthcare.

Fuck the United States

I’ve talked with an AI about suicidal ideation. More than once. For me it was and is a way to help self-regulate. I’ve low-key wanted to kill myself since I was 8 years old. For me it’s just a part of life. For others it’s usually REALLY uncomfortable for them to talk about without wanting to tell me how wrong I am for thinking that way.

Yeah I don’t trust it, but at the same time, for me it’s better than sitting on those feelings between therapy sessions. To me, these comments read a lot like people who have never experienced ongoing clinical suicidal ideation.

Mostly for reminding myself why I no longer use reddit.

Also occasional tech support issues via DuckDuckGo searches

They are “allowed” because their actions no longer have consequences. None.

Literally all I’ve been watching are old shows and such off my Plex server and playing games on a retro handheld

Blocking is self-care. Just with the added teeth of “get tf out of my phone.”

That’s it.

It’s maintaining your personal peace, and frankly I find it weird that it’s even a conversation let alone as stigmatized as it is. People still have a litany of ways to reconnect outside digital. It’s literally what people had to do before blocking was a thing.
