  But you get rusty in moist environments; when you urinate you slowly rot away your urethra.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I.... what?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s tough, respect for holding on as you do.

  Life’s not fair, not everyone has the mental stability that is required for a happy life. But we can hope to lessen the pain a bit.

  Headspace is indeed an app, with a subscription (not sure what the free plan is, but it helped me so I didn’t care). You can also meditate yourself or with free YT videos of course, but this app worked better for me.

  Take care, hope you find some relief.

  With this classy response of his it’s almost better for his perceived character than when he didn’t say it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I.... what?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  After 25 years of suicidal thoughts I’ve finally taken antidepressants, Zoloft was what worked for me.

  In a couple of months the black thoughts became more rare and now in a year or so they are almost gone. I don’t feel the active need to kill myself any longer. Which feels… a bit uncanny almost. Not all in life is good, but this specific lack of despair is nice; still really bizarre to not have this endless dread any longer. I try to enjoy that while it lasts.

  I did a lot of meditation as well with Headspace, can recommend that too.

  Hope you find your way.

  It depends, I believe actual tape keeps data usable way longer than CDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been studies that claim there is a max on what money can buy you in terms of happiness. Before it was said to be 70k (of course depends on the country), now it might be 500k.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m quickly going to create an AI named “No Gen”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am from a different millenia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe he is over a thousand years old, don’t you see the wrinkles?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a brilliant description; the feeling OP has is probably on a way more abstract level than most of the comments here are thinking of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyway to erase the permanent marker so I can reuse this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have a whiteboard marker, you can draw over it and then erase it. Works wonders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wanna ROCK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And things in itself that are too small to see with even a microscope do not reflect light right? Light might interact there but will not reflect in the usual sense, it can however emit light though. As far as I understand that is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not enough people buying Premium, eh?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most other companies can be selective in what they host / stream. YouTube will host/stream anything users upload and that’s actually quite insane. Current statistics say that YouTubers upload 30.000 hours of video… per hour.

  Aside from the streaming/processing, only the disk space that would need is already frightening. Most of those videos will never be seen, and no ads will be played on them. The setup needed for this is massively more impressive to me than services like Netflix.

  Do you perhaps have a source for those profit margins? I really wonder if they’re already running break even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They live among us⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to cut out the sticker (with the film underneath) and use paste gum to just place it where you want it. You can then remove it and stick it somewhere else whenever you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a nostalgic gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also actively remember seeing someone from the same “clan” as you in a random free for all or capture the flag game. Always a great feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be a rebel, pick up trash.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I was a hungry sea turtle I’d just order a pizza.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EchoChamberinator 9000!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?

  “Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you say that I assume you either only used older services or your prompt skills are lacking.

  ChatGPT 4 is really advanced and can create long coherent fluid texts (with source references). You can also ask it to write as a student or any other target and it will match writing styles quite well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love it. Less social interaction after a long day of work, I can keep my headphones on. It’s a bliss for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There you go little guy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (and motorbikes for even longer distances, and ca… wait)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨after 40 all meals are horror⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lunch is my favourite. Nothing beats a fine sandwich with cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets banned from Walmart⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus a footrub… is quite something as a first. I mean, what happened to asking someone out for a drink for starters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shart, not fart⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  text without punctuation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Geography 101⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to pedantically correct you about the a / an… but then realised you got me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes out with friends⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well to be fair, to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way is pretty similar as to remove yourself from it.

  But I’m being pedantic, I do get what you mean of course. Personally I’m not really against ending ones own life per se, only the dramatic options that usually lead to all kinds of trauma should be looked at. We can handle this as a society with a gentle support for those who’d like to pass away.

  It can be an acceptable solution to ones pain; but for the sake of your surroundings it should perhaps not be the first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes out with friends⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A few comments below taught me that it apparently originates from this meme where it was a mix of a typo and a loving description of a suicidal person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works in a restaurant⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume you live in the USA? In Europe most coffees are just singular items you order, with exceptions in buffets / sometimes hotels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*doing my best google impression* Did you mean: turn in up?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I read this as if she was on life support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“A simple calculation”⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought these were AI generated at first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue with that logic⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how permanent these are nowadays.
