Thank you, my dad's abusive so I understand how hard that can be, and I promise I'm nothing like that. I know the depressive thoughts aren't true when I'm in a clear headspace. I am optimistic about CBT ❤️

Thank you for writing this ❤️ The hard part for me is that when I'm in the episode I think about my kid and all I can think is that he's better off not having me around. I know it's BS whenever I think clearly, but it doesn't change the episode. I'll look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy though (someone else mentioned that), as I think this might help fix this thought pattern - I want to just be able to say "fuck you Steve" (I named my depression Steve).

Thanks, this is validating ❤️

Damn I love that 😂😂 weaponized anger! Thanks I think this might help ❤️

Masses to unpack here. Big thing is - it's not your fault. how you talk to yourself matters, and I can guarantee you that you did the best you could with the hand you were dealt.

Whether you're autistic or not, you're not a bad person for being irritable. You're under a crazy amount of environmental pressure. Noone should be mad at a plant for having yellow leaves when it hasn't been watered.

Overall, your circumstances sound awful. If you can find resources to support you or a way to change your circumstances things will likely change. In the meantime, the love you can give yourself is the most important thing - letting other things drop is ok. You need to fill your cup before you can fill others, even your brothers.

I'm on setraline. Saved my life. Unsustainability is a long-term problem. Surviving now is the most important. I'm sure there will be issues coming off it eventually but if you need something then you just have to take it.

priorities for me:

1. open-source (increases the likelihood of all the below) or steward-ownership
2. not eco-system locked
3. repairable and/ or has generic parts available
4. longevity reviews and good materials (steel, glass, etc.)
5. price

ty!

what am i supposed to do about the tv situation going forward? I've looked for dumb TVs for over 6 years and never found a new dumb tv. Do I have to get old units?

i have an asustor nas and i set it up with my hdd raid 1 drives as volume1, and installed my ssd later as volume2. now docker is constantly making my hdds tick and I can't move it to the SSD because asustor don't allow it ☠️ so I'm looking at reeeeaaallly testing my backups, wiping the device and reinstalling everything. It's all in docker so it's theoretically easy enough 🤞

damn they should really stop making all these new vulnerabilities

haha, totally feel you but highly recommend trying elden ring again after a break! It took me about 5 attempts of dark souls games over 8 or so years before it clicked, and now elden ring would be in my top games

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't like it? I hated not being able to figure out where to go

Almost like the system is designed to increase wealth inequality 🤯

so in short - CachyOS requires you to put in expertise and effort to get a little extra, whereas bazzite is letting the experts at universal blue handle the bulk. is that right?

yeah this explains a lot haha

thank you! I've been on linux for years but somehow hadn't heard of these

NZ's DIY hardware chain Bunnings is also doing facial recognition in their stores, and I'm amazed people still go. With all the bad shit that constantly happens, you think a random DIY store is going to keep your digital likeness safe?

I almost got kicked out of university for what they taught me in highschool 😂 turns out safety protocol is actually super important 🤯
