    I went to therapy for almost this exact reason. I will tell you what my therapist told me. Just because these terrible things are happening, doesn’t mean you can’t have meaning and joy in your life. It can be hard to feel grateful, it can be hard to feel happy, during such times, but it’s possible. I would suggest reaching out to a professional if you can afford it.



  • For context I am almost 40 year old women. Okay, so I like to watch gaming videos on youtube. Markipler, Let’s Game it Out, CallmeKevin, RT game, Dunkey, y’know moslty geared towards kids, young adult gaming content. I never do this unless I am home alone because I don’t think anyone would get why I’m watching an adult man play a wrestling game with his bright red, 20 foot tall wrestler named Johnny Hotbody.





  • You guys talk to computers in the language of computers. You are trying to get the computer to do something you want. However the computer doesn’t help you out, you have to tell it explicitly what to do down to the tinyist detail or it won’t work and you will be sad.

    To the outside observer this looks like typing gibberish and copying in chunks of more gibberish. With occasional swearing.

    How’d I do? (I know very little about programming and computers, I’ve worked manual labor for something like 20 years.)





  • I was in collage when Fight Club came out. Of course a bunch of guys decided to make an underground Fight Club. I never went to one bc I am a women and therefore exculded from Manly Punching Time but, boy, oh boy did I witness the fallout.

    It didn’t take long for poeple to realize that maybe a computer major shouldn’t be fist fighting a ex marine who was here on the GI bill. Or maybe accounting majors shouldn’t be trying to punch the six foot tall guy who does construction to afford his textbooks. Poeple had black eyes, knocked out teeth, concussions and face swelling. Turns out it’s hard to hide an underground fight ring where you hit each other in the face.

    Luckily the Fight club disbanded before admin got involved, and before anybody got really hurt.
