Yeah, I’ve been tanking this shit at work all day long for 25 years. I think I’m about as good at it as I’m going to get.

“what’s the worst that could happen” when you reach for alcohol vs simply talking to people and letting yourself naturally settle.
I’ve literally done this hundreds of times. I don’t enjoy it. At best I’m just on on edge. At worst I’m having actual panic attacks.

I’m open to suggestions. I’ve tried weed but it doesn’t do it for me. Also alcohol lets me have fun socializing instead of just getting stressed out. I’ll take the trade off.

I control my addictions by limiting supply. I buy a fifth of bourbon and a case of beer once a month and that’s what I get. If I go on a bender for a week and run out tough shit.
I don’t have problems with overeating but if I did my strategy would be to have a limited supply of things I don’t have to cook. No chips or soda or sugary bullshit. Just full ingredients that have to be prepped and cooked. When I did cook or order food it would be in an amount that’s appropriate. Add friction between me and the things that are a problem for me so it’s easier to put off consuming them. Maybe that would work. I don’t know.
I also have an abhorrence for delivery services so that helps too.

I can get a fucking steak dinner for the price a some of the more expensive fast food combos around me. Shit is crazy.

This shit right here is why I don’t let working stuff update anymore. I shouldn’t be sweating if the software update I’m downloading is going to make my life worse or not.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 2 days ago:
Because your congressperson is bought and paid for and there aren’t enough people assassinating health insurance CEOs in the street to inspire them to change their ways.

You can cook chicken dry on high and burn the shit out of it. It’s “cooked” but not great.
Speak for yourself. I like when it’s cooked that way.

I use none of those and my lower back is fine. Lifting weights fixed all that shit almost immediately.
- Comment on sales =/= quality 1 week ago:
The world starts make a lot more sense when you realize the vast majority of people are just trying to be part of a herd and are either scared to think for themselves or completely incapable. It explains all the gargling of corporate nuts we see at every turn.

My LMDE VM has been excellent for several years now. My laptop with Bazzite that I set up to test out the gaming side of things has also worked well, but that’s only been in use for a few weeks now and I still have a lot of niche stuff to test out before I can really recommend it. As a baseline just being able to play games there’ve been no issues just running the games I tried.

I’m 5’3 and my last girlfriend was 5’10. That relationship was pretty good and she seemed happy for like a year but she did tell me once that she wished I was taller though and also ended up cheating on me so who knows…

- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 1 week ago:
I’m curious what the female / non-binary version of this is, because being distracted by someone’s attractiveness in an inappropriate context and trying to navigate the situation and/or think about something more appropriate is relatable to me.
Same. I can’t control what my reaction to attractive people is. My brain starts pumping out chemicals that make me want to say or do dumb shit and I have to navigate that while trying not to creep someone out. Sorry. I’d turn it off if I could.

I don’t know what everyone on lemmy knows or not.
- Comment on Beans 1 week ago:
I had a cat that was like that with tuna. He never begged for any other food but he’d try to get that if you had it on your plate. It got to the point where he wouldn’t even bother me while I was making the food, he would just go and wait on the desk where I ate. He never sat there otherwise so he was planning that shit out lol. He also once stole an entire McDonald’s cheeseburger, wrapper, and all and hid under the bed with it like Beans when he was a very young kitten. That thing was bigger than him.

It’s not unneeded. A lot of people don’t understand what declawing actually is or haven’t put thought into the harm it causes. They just think it’s a harmless way to protect their furniture.

It works for AI …
- Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know how having me associate their name with a spike of rage is a good thing. There are definitely companies I went from being neutral towards to never considering them again due to their advertising methods. For example I’ve never eaten at Quiznos because of those fucking rat commercials they did like 20 years ago.
- Comment on Find what you like and stick with it 2 weeks ago:
My mom used this strategy. The problem was there was and still are a lot of foods I just straight don’t like. Not “I’d just rather have spaghetti-os” but, “I cannot stomach this because of the taste or texture or whatever”. She also was not a very good cook so even if it was something I liked usually I sometimes wouldn’t like it. This led to a lot of nights of us sitting at the table with me getting yelled at and not allowed to leave the table until my plate was cleared .

We have those virtually a few times a year. There’s always some dickhead talking about how great they did at reducing payroll. I’m like, “Motherfucker, you are talking to the payroll.”
- Comment on Get. Out 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm. It’s not AI but probably 80% of my job is just emailing other people to do shit, emailing other people status updates about their work, and verifying their completed work which is frequently wrong. It sucks.
- Comment on Anon changes his strategy 2 weeks ago:
Saying shitty things to people to make them feel bad about themselves so they will lower their standards enough to fuck you. The kind of thing only an incel could come up with.
- Comment on why do they only ever "sensationalize" news when it helps the Nazis!? 2 weeks ago:
How many other people are missing? Why aren’t we getting a play by play into the investigations for all their disappearances? Why is this woman any more important than the rest? Why am I hearing about it when she lives on the other side of the country from me and I can’t do a fucking thing?
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 2 weeks ago:
Socializing with known child molesters is beyond the pale. If the government isn’t going to deal with them properly one of the better options for the rest of us is to exile them from society. Anyone that’s not on board with this can fuck off right along with them.

- Comment on Anon goes to Japan 2 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t be able to play American cartridges on a Japanese one if they were region locked. I ran into that with a dvd drive in my PC once. It’s not checking anything online, it was something on the disc/drive.
