This one too plausible for satire.

Who cares?

There’s no legitimate criticism here.

Yeah, I did. I’ve been there , am there to various degrees at different times. Sometimes it’s easier to tell someone else what needs to be heard than to live it.

You’re depressed. Depression will lie to you. It will put a negative spin on everything. I’ll bet you can see when the Depression is at work. It’ll take something nice or just neutral and make it look worthless. Opportunities become traps. Achievements seem insignificant. People appear to be enemies. When you think, “I can’t” or “this sucks” that’s the Depression. It wants you to think that, to feel that.

It’s the Depression that is actively trying to sabotage you and make you think you can’t overcome it.

There are ways to get back at it. The Depression has weaknesses. You don’t have to take it on head first. Just probe those weak spots. Starve it. Loosen its grip just a little here and there and it might slip.

Get outside. The Depression loves to have you in your mother’s house. It’s strong there. You can’t move out, yet, but you can step out. Go for a walk. A long walk. Every day that you can. No direction or goal, walk away from it for as long as you can. Keep moving. You’ll have to come back to the house but the time you’re away will strengthen you and weaken the Depression.

Be around people. The Depression is trying to isolate you, make you dependent on It. You don’t have to be particularly social. You don’t even need to talk to people. Wander around busy places during the day. Any place with more than just your mother and the Depression. It is weak among other people. You don’t have to force engagement with people. Just an occasional smile or nod if someone catches your eye. Even minor interactions are barbs in Depression’s eye.

Eat something healthy. It doesn’t have to be all organic or some fad diet. Eat simple cheap real foods. Depression loves junk food. It wants you to eat like shit because it will make you feel like shit. Crappy food helps it slow you down and make you vulnerable. Alcohol is one of its weapons. Sugar/carbs and fast food, too. You don’t have to give them up entirely. Just be aware that when you indulge you’re not feeding yourself, you’re feeding the Depression.

Start a routine. Keep it simple, whatever you can manage. Depression is trying to spin you around and keep you off balance. A routine can stabilize you and frustrate the Depression. Walk at a certain time. Brush your teeth at a certain time. Go to bed at certain time. The exact minute doesn’t matter. Any repeatable sequence of events. Wake up, brush teeth, step outside. You don’t even have to go anywhere, at first. Start simple and build when you’re ready.

None of the bigger issues are your problem. Not what kind of man you are or whether you have a job, not how old you are. Those things don’t matter to people who aren’t under the thumb of Depression.

The reality is that none of us are completely in control of our thoughts and feelings. There’s lots of different ways we are influenced internally and externally. Right now, how you feel and what you think is being manipulated by the Depression. And, the Depression wants you to feel bad about everything. You’ll only feel better when you’ve loosened it’s grip.

I’m going to have to modify my juicer.

Maybe, because we can measure the number of protons and neutrons with an ion accelerator? I don’t know if the something similar can be done with electrons.

So, if route all of the electricity in my house through my body, how far can I travel in time? What about a car battery’s worth?

It’s some YouTuber stunt for which they didn’t get permits. Fuck ‘em.

I think the JC Penney photos would actually work with swing voters. They just need a reason to not be ashamed to vote for him.

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

You’re doing what the media and his followers do, though. You’re interpreting for him.

There may be a coherent idea behind what he says but his ability to express it is severely deficient which is further evidence that he is unfit for the presidency.

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

Both previous games definitely had MacOS ports or I’ve been hallucinating for hours in front of my computer monitor. They also had Switch and PlayStation ports.

EDIT: Also verified on Steam Deck.

Are MacOS and Linux ports confirmed? So far, it just says Xbox and (Windows) PC.

JD Vance is the tech bro VC candidate. There’s a huge difference between Tim Cook and 90s boom era tech bros. Apple’s success doesn’t give a fuck about middle-school mentality masculinity. Not every tech company is so insecure.

That’s such a nonsensical statement, I don’t even think you know what it means.

He expects Trump to die in office if he wins. That’s his—Peter Thiel’s—play. Get toady into the White House expecting Trump to either die or do something so overtly treasonous that he is removed or assassinated.

Darwin is open source. It uses some closed source device drivers but the core OS is APSL which is an open source license.

You’d be better off just writing straight up fiction. Try short stories before diving into novels.

I suggest reading Kafka and Cortazar for more inspiration.

This is the Republican Party, now. Threatening city workers for truthfully stating that people aren’t eating cats.
