“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

You don’t have to love your body

I really needed to read this today. Thank you.

[podcastwizard]

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery

[succubusboyfriend]

these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.

[succubusboyfriend]

let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.

[demonprincex]

and the more that you start doing this, the better you will get at detecting your own feelings and advocating for yourself! This is an important start to being more of a person in the world if you struggle with that

Deftones Cats

[potatopirate]

Hey OP! I sent this to my girlfriend, who loves both Deftones and cats, and asked her which one she liked best. She said ultimately she'd like a mix between the parts of each of the three of them.

A week and a couple of extra doodled accessories later, and this resulted in us creating Deftones Cat paper dolls so that she could create her Ultimate Deftones Cat.

Hers is the top right in the final picture. Apologies for not asking for permission beforehand, but hopefully you enjoy the results as much as we did. Thanks for unintentionally giving us such a fun afternoon of arts and crafts.

I made a Mii of you hope that's alright

hell yeah

i do like mozzarella lemonade and honey!

[strange-aeons]

I'm very tired and briefly considered the possibility that British people enjoy a weird delicacy called "mozzarella lemonade"

[mangled-by-disuse]

In my twisted mind mozzarella lemonade looks like boba tea but with mini mozzarella balls instead of tapioca pearls. Btw.

[potatopirate]

One of these, but you just stick a straw through the lid and drink it

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.

You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.

And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.

[miseriathome]

Even requited attraction doesn't need to be acted upon. Two people can be mutually attracted to each other and still decide not to date or not to change the dynamic of their friendship. People who are dating can mutually decide it worked better as a friendship, even if the attraction persists.

Feelings are just feelings. Not all feelings need to be realized as actions. It's very mature and cool to still treat people like people even after learning about their feelings, whatever they are.

[homunculus-argument]

The world is my oyster. I have only an extremely vague idea of how to eat it, I'm pretty sure I won't even like it, but if I'm given the opportunity, you bet your ass I'm gonna schlorp that whole thing and look stupid as hell the whole time I'm doing it. I don't know if I'll like it, but I'll rather regret swallowing it than never knowing if I would.

[exeggcute]

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

Everything is getting worse. There is no escape.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

What the fuck does "powerful features" mean? If it has anything to do with ai then I will simply stop texting.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I don't use chrome, I don't use gmail, I don't use the search engine, the only google services I actively use are youtube and very rarely maps. I don't want google to read my texts. Are there any reliable and secure messaging apps? My carrier is at&t, if that matters.

[nervewisdom]

Ridiculous. So Samsung users can't use just their phone number to text? We have to have an email? With Google? Absolute insanity. I hope there's real pushback. Hope someone knows of an app OP is asking for, in the same boat here. If anything gets me to switch from samsung, its this

[potatopirate]

@nervewisdom no. Google messages is the default texting app that comes with most android phones. You are not required to link it to an email
