  Thanks for helping to validate my comment haha. I do appreciate it.

  Is there anything specific you’ve done and would recommend to help swing in the other direction like you’ve stated?

  Was curious as to what you might have found helpful. I had tried the beginnings of CBT in the past, but it just makes me feel bad and frustrated. I have always been taught that my thoughts and feelings are wrong, and that’s effectively the core of CBT. I don’t like it because it just propagates how everything I think and feel is invalid. Yet it’s the “trendy” thing to do nowadays so every therapist and their mother uses it as their modality.

  Interestingly though I don’t think that this issue necessarily stems from deliberately toxic parents. My mom did the best she could and is very loving and nurturing but I was just too much for her to know how to deal with in this way.

  When I was a kid, I would always get in trouble for getting upset. No one ever wanted to know why I was upset. They just wanted me to shut the fuck up. I really wish things would have been handled the way you describe. My siblings didn’t have the same problems as me in this way so it has always made me feel alone in feeling what I feel. Now as an adult, I never know if what I’m feeling is real and valid… usually I think it isn’t.

  Anyway sorry that was only tangentially related.

  I’m not sure who out here is randomly posting that information to ChatGPT. But even if they were, your address and personal details are unfortunately readily publicly available on the web. It’s 2025.

  Lmao. I’m curious on what about my post history makes me sound like a Russian bot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The therapy I can afford⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for babbling incoherent nonsense to ChatGPT?

  No, it’s not a substitute for a real therapist. But therapy is goddamn expensive and sometimes you just need to vent about something and you don’t necessarily have someone to vent to. It doesn’t yield anything useful, but it can help a bit mentally do to do.

  Wow I love this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the not too distant past this was a thing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Right?? One of the first things I do when getting a new phone is disabling all the useless notifications and keeping the ones I care about. My phone doesn’t spam with notifications all day.

  Wow! I love red bell peppers but I’ve never ate enough of them to do this! I’m impressed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The poop psa absolutely no one asked for⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. It just depends where along your GI tract the cancer is.

  If the cancer is further up in your colon, the bleeding can turn your poo a dark color. BUT if you have cancer near to the “exit hole” (in your rectum or anus), it absolutely can involve bright red bleeding.

  People tell me this but it just doesn’t feel good when people say/do mean things, even if they are someone that isn’t worth my time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is the teacher doing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk…I slept through history class in high school because I just didn’t give a shit about the class. It just wasn’t a subject that interested me and I was a sleepy kid lol. I don’t blame the teacher for not being engaging enough. I just wasn’t interested in the subject like I was with my science classes. I still did fine in school too even though I slept through quite a few subject haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨:'(⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean things used to make more “sense” time and energy wise when you were able to have one parent work and one parent stay home. But it’s just not really financially feasible nowadays. The people I know with kids are absolutely fucking drowning right now trying to both work and take care of the home life. I feel bad for them but there’s not much I can do about it. It’s not my family.

  I always have. The PS2 only fits 2 cards. Did you only ever have 2 cards? If you had more than 2 then where did you put the rest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So far I’ve tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Pop OS. Although I only briefly tried Pop OS. Didn’t stick around long enough to see if it would have issues as well. There were other issues with that one that I can’t quite remember…I think it was that often the OS would decide not to boot. Something about a weird compatibility issue with the BIOS or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The basic mouse features work, stupid. It’s the gesture features that don’t work, stupid. No one has come up with good support for anything other than basic mouse features on Linux, stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like I said, my computer no longer has BSODs in Windows after some settings I changed.

  I do remember when I first got the laptop, it was frustrating because it would BSOD with relative frequency. I was very frustrated with the manufacturer…because the laptop would always pass hardware benchmark tests and the BSODs were random, so they refused to look at it under warranty.

  I don’t think I have ever tried that particular set of texts before, though. I tried googling it…is it the one by Pass Mark? If so, I’ll check it out, thanks.

  Re: hanging in Linux…no, the system would completely freeze up and never recover until I manually powered down the system. Interestingly, I found some other users stating that they had this issue with Firefox because of some resources issue or something. So I planned to try to switch to Chrome, but got frustrated with the features mouse not being compatible anyway. So I left it at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t surprise me, but the point was that it’s fixable in Windows but not the Linux distro I have tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plug and play essentially means “it just works”. Like as simple as plugging in a USB mouse and using it. When something isn’t plug and play, it means it takes a bit of fiddling with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t get the more elaborate functions of my common Logitech mouse to work properly. And Linux systems like to cause my computer to periodically hang for some reason. In Windows, it used to BSOD, and I managed to fix the issue in Windows but it seems impossible for me to fix in Linux because of how vague of an issue it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in a similar boat. My computer meets all of the other requirements like TPM and whatnot, yet they are arbitrarily deciding that my processor is too old. And for some reason you can walk into your local computer store and buy a laptop with the shittiest processor and other specs possible that somehow runs Windows 11. Just because the processor on the new shitbox was manufactured more recently. Ridiculous.
