[CW: abuse dynamics. Could be seen as existential doomerism] Capitalism has made people see themselves as worthless cattle and that's sad by Moss in c/chat@hexbear.net

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

I've been working through this in my head recently. I feel such a need to be seen as useful by a society that would have me ground down to nothing for the sake of profit. Even as much as I hate capitalism, I don't want to lose the game of capitalism and not be a good worker drone. Working makes me feel like less of a human.

drugs, quitting weed, it's good news!

Quitting weed has genuinely been really easy lol. This is the second time I've quit weed, last time I had a terrible evil strain that gave me a panic attack every time I smoked. I stayed off it for six months, then picked it up again. Had fun for a while, quickly became addicted again, then realised I wasn't getting much out of it. The highs were shorter and less intense, and just not much fun. Weed is an expensive and unhealthy vice, so if I'm consuming I at least want to enjoy it.

I'm loving waking up in the morning and not feeling sick. I'm loving the time I have in a day that isn't just voided by the weed. If I want to drive anywhere, I can do it at any time of the day, because I'm sober. I don't feel the desire to stuff my face with food that I don't even really taste. It's been pretty instant, the way my lifestyle has felt so much healthier.

I had some cravings last night, but really thought about it. Getting a bit stoned didn't appeal to me since I knew it wouldn't last long, and getting really high didn't appeal much to me either because I'm bored of that and it feels like a waste of time. So I just ended up playing Pokemon Showdown instead, and now I've woken up in a great mood.

I spent all of yesterday building a PC (NOT easy, Jesus Christ) and now it needs an OS. Fuck windows, or course, so I want a Linux OS. I'll be mainly using my PC for gaming and editing videos, and I'd much prefer something that works similarly to Windows just for comfort purposes since I'm already familiar. Also I've heard Linux is incompatible with some games?

So, nerds, what do you recommend?

I really felt like these ghouls were invincible. I was waiting on the old fucks like Kissinger to die, but Kirk and his fellow fascists have gotten away with it for so long that I felt like I would never see them assassinated.

God its so fucking good. I've never played a story-heavy game and then wanted to immediately replay it. I've played through chapters 3 and 4 twice in the past month and I wanna replay it again already. Honestly if you haven't played it, and you have any interest in story games, I recommend jumping in now. The release of chapters is such a fun and exciting time and I wouldn't wanna miss future releases. Also if you don't want to play, at least check out the OST because its without a doubt the best I've ever heard.

Their colour is so misleading, because red food should be like really tangy and strong. Either sweet like a strawberry or cranberry, or savoury like ketchup. Tomatoes taste like they should be a pale green or yellow, but they're red. It's fucked up.

[CW: Depression] Have any of you really overcome depression? (hexbear.net)

submitted 1 year ago by Moss@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net

I've been living with depression since I was 14. It felt inescapable, but for a couple of years, I was doing really well. I stopped going to therapy, I was able to handle bad things, anxiety wasn't tearing me apart, I had goals I wanted to achieve. Then in the last two years of college, my depression came back worse than ever. Trying to get better isn't even on the table, right now I'm just trying to want to get better.

But for a few years, I was able to think to myself that I was happy, and that depression was a thing of the past. For the life of me, I can't remember why. I feel like I'm doomed to be stuck in a cycle of falling in and out of depression for years at a time at best.

But has anyone actually come out of depression, for real? Is it possible to say that you dealt with your depression and you are genuinely happy, or at least want to be happy, and you think you will be that way for the rest of your life? Because I genuinely don't see how people are supposed to be happy.

Also did we used to have a mental health comm?

Kamala Harris dips in key states, making US election contest a toss-up by Moss in c/news@hexbear.net

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 110 points 2 years ago

Honestly I thought this would be a slam dunk for Trump after the assassination photo, then he completely failed to capitalize on that, then I thought it would be a slam dunk for Harris, then she did absolutely nothing to make her likeable and got an endorsement from Cheney. How are both presidential candidates so bad at running for president

Ukraine - or rather, the Ukranian people - have already lost the war against Russia by basically every important metric. They have lost tens of thousands of soldiers, millions have emigrated, their domestic assets have been completely sold to and looted by American capitalists, and they are still likely to lose militarily. Ukraine will not recover for decades. But Zelensky and his ilk keep getting richer by selling off the country and the lives of the people to the American war machine, and the American capitalists keep getting richer by having a massive demand for their weapons and gathering information about the Russian military. Just fucking end the war, please.

The effort to bring her into the pantheon of neoliberal heroes was crazy. They had her speak at the UN and meet with so many politicians, and so clearly tried to get her on their side. But she actually has values, so she couldn't become another prop for them. Fucking based.
