I don't buy any videogames new anymore, and pretty much never buy any unless it's on a very good sale. I've got a big enough backlog anyways I guess. I used to go out to some cheaper dine in restaurants but that had to be cut.

Political violence that will make change will be larger scale and organized, not individuals trying to kill a bad president, or two, or three.

It's not defeatism, at all, it's the recognition of an ineffective method of resolving things. Real life isn't a movie where things just work out when you do stupid shit.

For what? Another will take his place. There's no shortage of people pushing for project 2025 and supporting his political policies. It's not just trump.

One too many dabs

Do you expect the average American to just be able to stroll up to him with a gun and shoot him? We're literally a police state. He's got secret service watching him. It's complicated, and if somebody was successful they would be throwing away their own entire life guaranteed.

A lot of life is about perspective. I have a checklist, of things that make life worth it for me. They're gonna vary from person to person, obviously, but when I get super depressed, I go through my checklist in my head. I have cats that depend on me and I value their wellbeing. I have relationships with people I care about and want to see. (and kids I want to see grow up) There's still things I want to learn, places I want to see, and things I want to do. Small things, too, like wanting to see the end of a show or enjoy a favorite food. Life has it's hardships, but it also has a lot of things we get to enjoy - and I want to be strong enough to live through the hardships to enjoy the good things. Idk man it all probably sounds kind of cheesy, but watching the sunset brings me a lot of joy. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be worth living.

I've got cats that depend on me, and I care more about their well-being than I care about mine. Also weed really helps to mellow me out, especially when the depression is really bad. It's not perfect, it mellows out the good feelings along with the bad ones, but hey it's better than nothing.

Honestly, I mostly just play a lot of old games that still support consoles, cheat codes, or mods.

It's used in the context of a micro-blogging platform where your feed consists of individual posts that don't show the whole comment thread. If I replied to a post on mastodon, my followers only see my post on their timeline unless they click on my post to see it's context. A quote post can be used to present someone else's post to your followers, with whatever you want to say about it.

The bubble would be the actual post itself, you know? Like having the full post within another post. Similar to what you just showed but clicking the bubble brings to to the original post.

It's like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.
