I wish you could too.

[–] deaf_fish@midwest.social 1 points 16 hours ago

That's a valid point.

Oh fuck I am retarded. I misread the intention of this post. Thank you, and I am soo sorry. I will edit my first post to be clear I am an idiot.

This is good. I like the layers of meaning.

I'll take a lifetime supply of block too, if you got any more of it.

What I will say is that Depression is like your brain catching the flu. Just like if you caught the flu you wouldn't be able to do what you need to do. When your brain has the flu it can't do what it needs to do. Part of what your brain needs to do is to rationally assess the situation you are in. If your brain has the flu it can't do that. So things like punching your own tickets seem like a good idea, when rationally it often isn't the case.

Just like getting over the flu, the brain needs to rest to recover.

Both people who have a good life and a bad life get depressed. The problem the meme is pointing out is the people who have a bad life will not only have a harder time getting the ability to rest their brain, but also people, for no rational reason, assume the worst of people with bad lives. And assume they're just faking their depression or something. They're not, depression affects everyone. It's just easier to get it and harder to get rid of it if you have a bad life.

Sorry, they do not. The vibes are sad (as a feeling, not an insult) though.

I have no problem with euthanasia being a human right, as long as there is some legal framework around it to prevent bad things from happening. I have a couple of scenarios in my mind where I would probably use it. Also, if you decide rationally outside of depression that it is time for you to choose it, I respect that.

My only issue was the whole, and I am paraphrasing here, "Autism dooms you to a life of suffering and there is nothing you can do about it".

Then your statement is just incorrect. Most autistic people find a way to improve their life experience. Even if it just learning about a new train engine. But also they can learn how to work with their symptoms to generally improve their lives.

Yeah, life is hard, but that's no reason to miss represent the facts to paint punching your own ticket as a good idea to a larger group of people.

Obviously, I don't know your personal situation, so you will have to make your own call.

But it sounds like you are depressed, I would seek help.

Two things.

  1. Your original statement was that they were ignoring it, not that they were contributing to it. They are definitely not ignoring it. They have less ability to ignore it that any previous generation.

  2. Their consumption of electronics is the result of how they were brought up. Not that they have some kind of suicidal death wish. If you were in their generation you would be doing the same thing. As would I.

No, I don't think, so because no one can read other people's minds.

There are several things that this person could do before suggesting the software that they use. They could ask questions about why they use this particular software instead of assuming their software will solve their problems.

I thought you were a troll because you said it doesn't get better and I assumed you were talking about life experience. I think you were actually talking just about the symptoms.

I wish you luck with your journey.

 

Looks like it is time for me to start another Morrowind run and not finish it <3

 

I figured I would kick the community off with the game I am currently playing. SS14 is a lot of fun! Many different game types!

 

Unfortunately, lemm.ee is going down soon, so I figured I should move the community.
