    I brute forced myself into cleaning up and cooking healthier meals for myself. It sucks, but if you rinse your dishes right after you eat and put leftovers away instead of "letting them cool" or "soaking the dishes", everything gets so much easier.

    If you want a really tasty, filling cheap fall dish that will 100% help a hangover:

    Throw some evoo and garlic into a pan and let it go for like a minute. Then throw in a handful of fresh spinach. Then a handful of halved cherry tomatoes. Then two cans of drained cannelloni white beans. Then a cup of heavy cream and a half cup of Parmesan cheese. Salt, pepper and toast some bread.

    Buying all the ingredients at once is like maybe $15 and this stuff can be used for anything. I've made breakfast sandwiches with these beans, a fried egg, and some Sriracha on an English muffin.

    Jobs posted or actual hirable positions? I've had friends looking for jobs for months and can't get bites with livable wages.

    I could probably find one with a little effort but the fatigue is crazy. I can barely keep myself awake during the day and can't sleep at night.

    I think it's starting to calm down a bit now at least.

    Diet changes are one of the major things I've been working on that has made the last little bit rough. I've been cooking a lot more, primarily oily fishes which I love, but I did cut out the trash sugars and caffeine that I use as a crutch.

    Almost daily mackerel and salmon has been awesome though. Saba shioyaki is probably my favorite comfort food and I never realized how easy it was to make. I'll have to give the actual fish oil pills a try though, thanks!

    Psoriatic arthritis flared up in my entire body that has made it impossible to sleep or even really exist for the last week and a half.

    It would be awesome to just not hurt for a few hours.

    Are you my wife? Since we discovered Pluto, our TVs are constantly flipping between America's Test Kitchen, MST3K, Antiques Roadshow and Jersey Shore if we're feeling especially rowdy.

    There's also a Mr Rodger's Neighborhood channel that our we leave running in the mornings for kid and dogs when we leave hah.

    Yup.

    I just found myself picking fights with locals on the opposite side of the political spectrum and it got bad enough that my handle was named in two different defamation lawsuits. 🤷. Luckily decent opsec made me harder to find IRL, but both cases were laughed out of court anyway.

    I always feel like I'm going to miss something important, but honestly, there is nothing important happening that I can't just hear from someone else. I really want to get to the point where I wake up, throw on some clothes, and go for a walk and leave my phone at home. I think if I can do this through the fall and winter, I can do it forever.

    You can run down some of the clock by making yourself a good breakfast every morning! My wife got into a real tamagoyaki kick and I've been making her one pretty much every day and it makes me pretty happy to be cooking again.

    Oh shit, that's a really good one. I hate that I instinctually grab my phone and start doom scrolling. Getting rid of Twitter was a big one that helped for me.

  • After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why. This month I have: Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid. Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently. Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk. Made doctor and dentist appointments. Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.

    Man I don't even care anymore. 99% of the posts are bots or weird ass antagonists, the app is complete shit and only works half the time, and there are so many worthless ads.

    Zzz reddit can just go die.
