mental health, negative
@KawaSeadrake Political arguments and highly contentious topics of business judgment at work, pessimistic/apocalyptic news, obsessing on the most difficult things in my life at all times, etc.
When I was growing up, someone in my family was always sick or in some kind of crisis. I guess I got used to that and I feel like I'm irresponsible if I'm not in the middle of some kind of disaster, or if I'm thinking about or doing anything else while something is ongoing
mental health
@salameleon I honestly don’t know. I’m not good at asking for or accepting any sort of help and I literally don’t know what I can benefit from. Honestly any reply at all helps, since at least someone is listening
mental health
I have been enduring intense interpersonal stress and anxiety for the last three days. I’m not holding up well and I don’t want to keep pressuring the people around me, who are also kind of involved. I’m worried about others and I can’t really do much and I can’t just stop. I am not in good shape and I really don’t know what to do.
Confession
@emanate I thought POW-MIA flags referred to an Indian reservation.
I also mistook at least two Federal prisons for high schools. They had outdoor exercise equipment, high fences with razor wire, and a general “government institution” sort of brutalist architecture, how could I tell the difference?
And thus marks the first time I've had to use cell phone disassembly prying tools to break into a laptop so I could add a hard drive to a secondary drive bay the laptop was designed with. They didn't include the cable connecting the drive to the motherboard, so I had to email customer service for a disk tray and cable, then install it myself.
Got it done though!
@Jacel @anthracite I will look forward to this with baited breath, because it sounds kinda fishy.
@Jacel @anthracite This sounds like what bothered me about The Magic Circle. Even the parts that weren’t “the game is unfinished lol” were terribly performed. The game was playable but I couldn’t stand the voice acting
@green isn't "owl stuffing" your actual volunteer job

I do not know how I never saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-5RVMerfI before but I am glad I did
Why are cell phone manufacturers so enthusiastic about “Woo every single part of this thing is a screen! Oh my god look at it! A screeeeeeeen, we made a fucking screeeeeen!!!!” like some sort of strange tropical bird mating call?
I mean, why are they right? I kinda wish my entire phone was a screen, too, I just think next year’s version will be the one that works.
I have my slow cooker full of turkey, onions, and garlic soup base. We’ll see how this works out - I usually use powdered onion soup for seasoning instead; this is a variation on that plan.

PSA: If your breakfast burrito recipe includes 'scramble the eggs', it is wrong.
Here is how you breakfast burrito:
- Get some good chorizo.
- Fry it in pan. Don't you dare drain it.
- Remove chorizo from pan. Leave grease there. Don't touch it.
- Fry shredded potatoes in the delicious chorizo grease.
- Pour lightly beaten eggs over it all, and add the chorizo back in, along with some green chile.
- Mix it until it coalesces into a slightly crumbly foodmass.
- Serve with cheese in tortillas.
