This is a scene from "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" where Bill Murray plays the titular character, Steve Zissou, not Ghostbusters. It's a Wes Anderson film so if you like his other works it's definitely worth a watch!

I live Mid-Atlantic and I've never actually seen a Tree Swallow near me. I really like their coloring! I get a lot of Barn Swallows though. They just showed again for the Summer last week for me and I always forget how much I enjoy hearing their inane babbling

This gives me a constant headache

Also should probably tell us the general area of the world they're from

These women are getting a pizza delivered.

DOGE is just a renamed version of the USDS(US Digital Services Agency) that was established in 2014. Trump literally just changed the name to the US DOGE Service.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted because you're right. The department got renamed with the stupid acronym with the new administration and functions differently now, but it's existed for just about a decade prior to this happening.

Is your taskbar normally locked a half inch above the bottom of your screen? Have you updated your graphics drivers recently? If not, start there.

I didn't want to elaborate originally because this is a meme community after all, but one of the biggest things I will say is that being gripped with alcoholism truly felt like living life as a stunted person in arrested development. Between the constant drunk/hangover cycle, the depression and anxiety, and just the general shame it felt impossible to maintain the consistency necessary to truly grow as a person.

I was very aware of how problematic my behavior was from the beginning, but that didn't make it any easier. My father died in a sudden accident a month or two after my 21st and alcohol was my coping mechanism. It sucks to feel like I now have to refigure out who I am in my 30's and reconcile with all the lost time, but today is always better than never.

Glad to hear you successfully made it to this point as well ☺️

Similar situation and I second this. Life is better in every way once you pry alcoholism away from it.

Speaking from a US cultural standpoint, most people don't do this though. Because of this if someone asks "how are you doing?," there is a script that runs in my brain that just translates it to mean "Hello."

There's nothing more soul crushing than showing emotional vulnerability and then promptly being told you're a burden and have misinterpreted abstract social signals. Always better to just...not 🤷
