No thanks, seen too many bad updates to want to let myself get bricked by a bad update.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Is that how I ended up with crippling depression and anxiety?
That's another way of saying "bricked".
Seriously, I hope yours is just a joke, but if it's not, kudos for the self irony.
You can. I go on a 2 week Mahasi vipassana silent meditation retreat each year and each time the release notes make it worth the time and effort. Also like running defrag on a disk that has been defragged regurlarly, it runs smoother each time, making the whole experience much more pleasurable.
Release notes last retreat:
- Fixed approval seeking issue due to lack of approval by clueless dad during teenage years
- Reduced day dreaming by 10% by recognizing mechanisms that lead to day dreaming
- Optimized routines for dealing with tough situations
- Increased mindfulness by eliminating several mechanisms that lead to mindlesness
- Discovered access to high concentration states that likely will lead to more discoveries
- Fixed loneliness issue due to missed update
- Fixed part of a (self and others) judgement issue. More work on this issue needed.
The above is a pretty accurate representation of the results I got.
we only get firmware corruption as we age
In a way parenting is our brains change a lot for that
Nebivolol and TRT pretty much sorted the anxiety out.
essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.
