It’s crap.

You can use udm14.org though.

I’m so sorry to hear it.

One of the doormen in my building is kind of in a similar situation. He got his doctorate this year, beautiful flute player. Can’t find a job in his field.

TBH, it was a crucial life line for me at a tough time in my life economically.

I didn’t have the energy to work a part-time job and just 90 minutes a week translated to an extra $400-$500 bucks a month.

At its core, it shouldn’t be necessary for people to sell blood and plasma, but Americans vote for for-profit health care and their own impoverishment every two years, so regardless of one’s thoughts on the matter, your very blood is now commoditized at the consent of the voters.

Agreed.

TBH, I think that’s why shows have this now. Fear of legal liability.

I like to get all up in my snuggie. Get a little weird.

The obscenely wealthy donate to both parties. Both parties protect the interests of the wealthy.

Hell, there have been two Democratic administrations that had total congressional control over the last sixteen years. The minimum wage is still seven bucks an hour.

I feel bad for these folks.

My building’s HOA kicks ass, but admittedly, the people we elected to it are very ‘live and let live’.

No, they weren’t.

The thing is, he’s the candidate of change. He doesn’t have to lie about how much people are struggling.

I feel you, dude.

But 99% of voters are going to vote against you on that. There’s nothing we can do about wealth disparity empowering either of these two parties. The best you can do is invest whatever you have to spare, because the stock market at least is on the side of both major parties.

What’s keeping Trump in the race is the fact that most Americans are working 2-3 jobs to main a basic standard of living and have to actually look at their grocery, utility, and medical bills.

Crazy doesn’t seem so crazy when the other candidate promised to make your life better and failed.

They should. I’ve thought we should have a daily ‘Shootings’ report to go along with the weather report for years.

People will have forgotten about this in a week.

MASSIVELY infuriating.

I hope you find a routine that helps you deal with this. It’s tough stuff, but once you figure out what works for you, coping’s way easier.

As a depressive myself, I concur. Sounds like OP is one of us.

The key is finding coping strategies. I exercise every day and lift weights five days a week. That helps me tremendously. As far as exercise goes, you basically try everything until you figure out what you like and a routine that works for you. If your energy peaks at a particular time of day, that’s when you should plan to exercise. (For me it’s in the morning.)

I also read a lot of books.

Thing is, I don’t engage with people much, and that actually helps a lot with my mental health. I have one in-office day a week and that’s enough to fill up my social gauge.

It’s simpler than you think. Watch a few YT tutorials on it and see if it’s a good fit.

This is the way to go if you’re a gamer. It just didn’t work in my specific case.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Linux.

I just hated having to troubleshoot almost every time I booted up my PC. It was abundantly clear there were hardware incompatibilities in my case.

I had a dual boot for six weeks this summer with Linux Mint. Approximately 2/3 of my games worked fine on Linux.

I had to troubleshoot it almost every time I booted up, though, which is why I reverted to Windows setup. I plan to go back when I get a new PC and I can run linux only on a machine, but I think it’s fair to say that there are some hardware incompatibilities sometimes. I’ve also read that there are distros other than Mint that play nice with NVidia chips, so I’ll probably go with one of those when I switch back to Linux.

Still, you can blunt most of the negative aspects of Windows by running O&O ShutUp.
