The comments about seeing a doctor for depression are coming from a caring place, but the reality of being without work for a while means it’s hard to afford seeing a doctor.
Chemical depression is not exactly something you can work yourself through, there are some people who claim magic mushrooms can help, but I’ve not seen any conclusive studies.

- Comment on Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner 2 weeks ago:
Nobody cares.
Your past posts tell a very clear story, I recall the post you deleted, the language and ideas you present are frankly pretty messed up.
You’re misattributing people’s response to your actions as general philosophies.

It’s easy to confuse friendship with deeper feelings, human connection is weird.
If you’re not romantically into him, you won’t be in a thruple, you’ll simply be sharing your partner with your friend.
Monagomy isn’t for everyone, and arguably polyamory isn’t for many people at all. I’ve seen a few of these work out but it requires very different mindsets and your mindset right now sounds like it’s on the sexual side (considering it exciting) instead of on the relationship/partnership side. Excitement is short lived, exercise caution.
Don’t ask the internet, talk frankly with all parties involved. Be aware that the relationship may already have expanded past monogamy non consensually.

I wouldn’t move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you’ll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.
Don’t forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you’re going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.
Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You’re coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It’s an expensive hobby and a hard job.
If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you’ll probably like it.

And who pays the cc fees? And do they have an agreement with the cc provider for a kickback? There are so many hands involved with simple monetary transactions most people wouldn’t believe it.
- Comment on I want a boyfriend, but I feel like I don't deserve to have one, and I keep alternating between those two thoughts which is making me feel confused. Is this normal? 4 weeks ago:
We’re all gross, and we’re all ugly, and we all deserve love. You are included in that equation.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Sex is not the only part of a relationship, and being sexually attracted does not mean you should ever feel coerced into it.
Sex is embarrassing, gross, and silly. With the right person that’s okay and worth doing, with the wrong person it’s not. Your feelings of embarrassment are common and you’re not broken or anything.
For me relationships are about comfort and belonging more than physical satisfaction, maybe that’s the thing you’re looking for?
They say there’s somebody for everyone, no matter if you’re pretty or ugly, someone will find you beautiful and love you, try not to let your doubts keep that kind of person away if that’s something you’re hoping for.
On the other hand, relationships are just one flavor in the medley of flavors life has to offer, society may say you have no worth without an SO but that’s patently false.
- Comment on what would it take for you to take back a partner who cheated on you ? 4 weeks ago:
Can’t think of one single thing that could convince me, since I’m monogamous that’s one of the few true dealbreakers.
A person has to draw the line somewhere.

- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 5 weeks ago:
More broadly, I think it’s appropriate to respond to social overreaching with rudeness.
In situations like these, I tend to just not respond but simply look at them. Awkward for everyone, but not aggressive on my part. Leave the ball in their court, if it’s a simple “could you take a photo” then whatever, but if it’s a less acceptable “could you buy me some smokes” then you’ve not mentally committed.

- Comment on DNC can't communicate 1 month ago:
This is a shitpost, but your response is clearly taking it seriously, so I’m responding in kind. Your response is an appeal to tradition, a logical fallacy and not a valid defense of anyone’s behavior.
The dnc has made many mistakes, any single good decision they’ve made isn’t an honest defense of current poor actions.
They should not have railroaded bernie, they failed to present a valid narrative and lost to djt twice? Wtf
- Comment on Researchers unveil LegoGPT, an AI model that designs physically stable Lego structures from text prompts and currently supports eight standard brick types 2 months ago:
Tool use/mcp can do an awful lot already, not everything but it’s hard to come up with stuff it just plain can’t do.
Agi is poorly defined, without a clear definition of exactly what it is there will never be a time we actually achieve it because the goalposts will move.
We all probably remember the time that the turing test was the ultimate test of an ai, but that’s pretty well cooked and it no longer matters at all.

- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 months ago:
Hmm not going to lie I don’t trust humans to be qualified self-governing at scale, brains are too small and empathy is too weak.
Big brother surveillance sucks, but is probably one of the most effective ways to mitigate crime. Power begets corruption so it’s essential to limit any one person’s power, to that effect a monthly empathy and compassion test should be mandatory for any person in a position of power. Obviously the test itself is the weak point so you need some sort of balanced system of administration and auditing, one group has only the power to judge, the other has only the power to judge the judges etc. Perhaps some sort of distributed dao style voting system, in which voting is mandatory, you cannot purchase anything without performing your duty of voting.
Ai is imperfect but it’s fairly safe to assume that 1000 years of progress fine tuning the current technology would lead to a reasonable system that could be relied upon as a final arbiter for decisions that humans fail to form a consensus on. A “supreme court” of sorts. Important with such a broad timeline that the ai system can only be used after the death of the last person to work on it. So you literally cannot personally benefit from corruption, and income of officials would be strictly monitored, anything unreported would be assumed to be corruption and the position would be lost.
Prison is ineffective, punishment in general is ineffective, so some alternative needs to be established. Since we’re all meaty human flesh machines, there’s not an awful lot of options, perhaps an option to move off-planet if a crime is committed, with a system of working their way back to a main colony.
Work as established is dystopian, I think the focus should be on creating automations, mandatory work should be limited to something like 1 week a month.
There’s a lot more I think, in general hedging against common human corruptions would be the gameplan. Humans will self destruct given enough time and there’s just not much you can do about it

Neovim is basically just vim with easier extension creation. It’s pretty good for a terminal editor. If you don’t already like vim you may not really enjoy nvim, it’s more of a lifestyle than a text editor.

Its duty?!
The US has no mandate to meddle in international affairs, any more than a bully in grade school has a duty to stop smaller bullies from picking on their own victims.
The US has never been an international savior, it’s the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on civilians.
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 3 months ago:
Things do happen in your life, nobody lives in a vacuum. You are alive and are experiencing things every day including the stuff that’s happening to all of us. Recent economic news, political drama, geopolitical events, etc are all fair game
I used to think nothing happened in my life then I started to keep a diary/journal and realized that a ton happens all the time!

- Comment on How do you express romantic interest in someone? 4 months ago:
I’ve always assumed this is something that comes naturally, when I’m into someone I take a deep interest in then, ask then questions about their passion, follow up and remember when they tell me things, try to spend time together either in a group or solo, look at them, talk to them eventually about my interest.
There’s no formula and it isn’t some mystical ritual or anything, just treat them well, smile at them, look at them, touch them appropriately and with consent, be engaged and interested in who they are. Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like all members of the opposite sex are a unified being, every person is different and the opposite sex is made up of people just like you, maybe with different bits if you subscribe to that type of gender identity.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 4 months ago:
Life has no point, you’re just energy given form (literally, not metaphorically or superstitiously or some shit, mass and energy are the same thing)
Hedonism is easy to fall into, and arguably fine, if you don’t find life worth living but can’t muster the enthusiasm to end it, you should try to change your environment.
For me, life is worth living for stories, I love books and the experience of being something different for a time. I have built my life around lazy evenings on the sofa with my cat on my lap reading a book, or playing a comfortable game, nothing else matters to me at all. It’s easy to be content if your requirements are minimal.
Life is an odd phenomenon, we’re blessed or cursed with consciousness, may as well do something you enjoy. If you don’t know what you enjoy then try more stuff.
