I saw shower and started worrying but it’s OK.

Knowing about “Temporary Internet Files” while my family was unaware made me feel like some sort of God of knowledge.
Oh and yeah I think I found porn there hooray!

Not OC but the idea of making someone feel good makes me feel good. It’s like double the dopamine for me.
I could totally see being grossed out by it when I think about it logically. In fact it is gross when I think about it logically.
- Comment on Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them? 5 weeks ago:
Similar issue with me! In our case both were HSAs and my employer changed companies. The first was awesome (and super helpful considering it was pre tax) and the second was horrible.
- Comment on Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them? 5 weeks ago:
Same with HSA cards. I quit paying into mine because they wanted proof I got work done after using at a dentist.
Yeah, because dentists usually sell fun things. Fuckin morons

This is my take too. I gave Starfield a chance and I should have just gotten Baldurs Gate 3 that weekend instead.
What’s worse is how they dug down into qualifying why it sucked and their nightmare of a PR response. It fucking sucks though too. I want them to be good.

To add on: questioning and reflecting on your behaviors is the first step.
I’m definitely guilty of some of this too and being more mindful of it has been… a process… that isn’t easy but helps me a lot.

This is one thing where so many people I talk to got unlucky. For me, SSRIs were super lucky in that they helped alleviate depression caused by my anxiety which then helped me find other roots of the anxiety. Turns out undiagnosed ADHD is terrible for your anxiety - got diagnosed though!
Side effects for me have included stomach issues and weight not coming off even as my physical condition improves as I’ve started running again. I’ll take it for now until I start weaning off in the future. I wouldn’t say they were a lifesaver but they helped immensely.

This is all awesome but any mind altering substance really needs to be used with a therapist when we are talking about average people in a large population. I’d also argue they both have benefits but their drawbacks are just too strong.
Weed is mostly non addictive but comes with other issues and isn’t perfect. Heart issues? Family history of schizophrenia? Either of those could be really bad. Is this a good argument for legalization and harm reduction? Yes. I’m not sure about widespread psychiatric use though. Perhaps more with a therapist but that therapist would be key - similar to the shamans of indigenous cultures.
I also totally agree with these not being long term. I love weed but the “420 smoke every dayyyyyyy” culture also ignores the need to work on yourself and do the work with a clear head. I think that internal (ideally drug free and sober) work gets you to the point of not only benefitting from these drugs but avoiding their abuse.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 4 months ago:
Like someone else said it’s gotta be a result of the voting for the awards being awful. I wanted to like Starfield and (ducks down) even got it early at the higher price.*
But yeah lol innovation is a joke. Makes me feel bad for the devs who really made innovative stuff this year.
*To be fair I had a shitty week before that and needed a new Bethesda game to make my life less awful so it…worked? It was my comfort food ok???
- Comment on Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start? 4 months ago:
This is where the “what if you could change your direction in the multiverse” aspect dies for me: my kids. I wouldn’t trade them for any better choices on my end.
That said I’d totally have brushed my teeth more when I was younger. That can’t have ripple effects can it? (Twilight zone music intensifies)

Regarding music: the concerts I missed out in haunt me!
You seem pretty similar to how I was in school. My way of revisiting that is understanding it now that I’m a teacher. I think it makes me way more effective. Not perfect but able to connect and engage students more as well as encourage them to not fear being challenged.

Damn this is exciting. I really enjoyed “the lab” which isn’t portal but portal adjacent because of the characters etc. and was hoping valve would just do them themselves but I know that’s a big ask
