I’ve given up and have been eating yfood (meal in powder form, EU soylent equivalent) for the last 9 months.
The better option amongst many bad options, is how I rationalize my choice.

First past the post inevitably converges to a 2 party system, with all the frustrations that brings.
You see it as well in UK, Hungary, Turkey, …
Be carefull whenever someone suggests: the prime minister/president/… should come from the biggest party. It can take a few election cycles, but it ends up with a 2 party system, as that’s the dominant strategy.
Most people don’t realise, yet so obvious
An allow list is easier than a block list
I’ve made my own tv stand using these 3d printed corner pieces: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4877887/comments
I’d suggest to start with ubuntu. I’d the distro that has the most guides/resources available.
Personally, I prefer xubuntu. Which is ubuntu, but with a slimmed down UI.
I’ve heard good things about https://www.linuxmint.com/, maybe read about that one too.
To get started, I always use Rufus (https://rufus.ie/en/) which downloads the required files, and makes a bootable USB flash drive.
I’ve seen bright IR emittors, that can oversaturate some cameras
I’m self employed.
Found out I’m depressed, decided to reduce work to 3 days a week.
Raised prices to reduce clients. Turns out I now make more, doing less work. It is what it is.
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into that
I don’t know what that is. Please, tell me all about it
You can have a phone and a vape. Double pleasure.
5-HTP serves me well. It’s got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.
Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I’ve read.
Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.
That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I’ve been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.
This might be a weird one, but it is helping me a lot.
My deepest spirals into depression and alcohol abuse happen in the evening and at night.
I switched to waking up early (5am), focused on experiencing and enjoying sunrise as a kind of meditation, then going about my day. I’m off to bed by 8pm.
There’s still days where I can’t catch sleep for hours, mind racing. But hours past 8pm is still only 2am.
Listening to music: And I mean REALLY listening to music
Amen. I’ve been listening to the same album since february. Trying to decypher every baseline, every cymbal.
Brings my mind to a happier place.

You’re confusing cause and effect, I fear
Everything I’d been thinking about was our future together, now none of that means anything.
In the same boat 2 years in. It hurts. Hope it gets better some day.
Stochastic parrot is a term describing your experience with AI.
I’ve an aunt like that, ready to engage in every conversation despite not understanding the topic. Regugitating whatever she saw on her tv, in her own words.
So in a sense, the current large language models do mimic some human’s behaviour.
