@rubah thanks! Just Prozac. I tolerated it well back in the day, but think I lacked proper therapeutic skills to deal with my problems *outside* serotonin deficiencies. Just feels like I'm in an overall better place now.

Been a bit of a journey, but after 2 months of being on an SSRI again (after like 7 years without), I think I can safely say that I'm better medicated than not.

It's nice to have serotonin.

@pancaek (one small win I feel I made this year was getting my sister to set up a college fund for my niece and nephew for us to contribute to, and then just buying the kids books as physical unwraps. I get to "participate" but also not feel terribly guilty, which is nice)

@pancaek oof, I feel you. My wife and I have been trying to extricate ourselves from the cycle in recent years for pretty much all the same points.

The amount of shit we've been gifted that has just sat in boxes is insane, and the fact that those purchases encourage manufacturers to keep making said useless products just makes me a bit sick inside.

Here's hoping that mindless consumerism starts to fizzle in the next few generations...

Delete migraines

These dogs. Ahhhh.

Went to text "I get it"

phone wanted to autocorrect the first part to "I gay"

backspace, type "I get", and phone suggested the sentence "I get gay"

My phone's been hanging around Mastodon too long

@crazypedia @thegibson initially I was going to suggest skyline, but tbh when I'm in the area I gravitate more towards steak n shake or Bob Evans.

@OddlyOtter You MONSTER.

It's okay. I'm not the greatest promoter of all things.

But I am the greatest shitposter.

Just fuck me up, Rainwave.

My wife was home this weekend, so we decorated!

@phooky @aparrish +1 for Tusky, the lists work pretty well.

@parker Welcome! You operate by feeding all your good feelings and happiness into "toots" and are paid in kind with the love and admiration of the fediverse.

Let me know if I can do anything to help! In general our local timeline is a little slow, but the federated timeline will show all the interesting folks that our instance is talking to. It's a good way to sample the known "fediverse" and see what's going on out there.

@angristan There were various commercial offerings too. I remember people talking up Borland as being hot stuff back in the day.
