depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

The first tip alone is a big one for me

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[theweirdwideweb]

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

[theweirdwideweb]

[handsmotif]

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

1. i wanna know what hallucinogens the refs are taking to be calling that penalty “interference” and also not on svech(also a volatile player but he still hasnt aged out of it)… or any of the other obvious penalties on both sides. love my canes but i wouldve called more penalties on them

2. that habs goal was a beauty, i mean that was the kind of goal every player dreams of making

3. your latest post about celine throwing out the soju as a luck thing? thats my superstition right now, give it back

1. I’ve been more annoyed by the refs in the corners seemingly ALWAYS being in the way of a play. I know stuff gets sent to the corners a lot but it feels like nearly every play gets halted by someone having to manoeuvre around a ref. But yes, once again picking and choosing penalties with no consistency is super annoying

2. Matheson is good for blue line goals like that. He’s so good at sniping from a distance and they’re always super satisfying to watch

3. lol Celine didn’t think she was all that superstitious but as this has gone on she’s found herself falling for it. She seriously considered wearing the same socks from when they won game 1 the other night. And everyone is definitely forbidden from getting too cocky. No gloating until the game is definitely wrapped

[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

im starting to think that interference is all the refs know how to call

[frozenartscapes]

my caniac ass is trying so hard to be neutral when i ask

i think the refs have forgotten that spearing is a penalty that they can call… but they cant see shit so i dont know why i expect them to be able to read their own rulebook

anyway, my actual question: why is dobes so volatile? he got called for interference in this game but over the entire playoffs so far, ive seen holding, roughing, interference, slashing, and tripping from him(i say as if i didnt see freddie andersen trip a montreal player in this game)

Honestly, I think it’s just that he’s young. This is Dobes’ first playoffs as Montreal’s starting goalie, and he only started playing with them last season. Personality-wise he seems like the kind of guy who doesn’t take any shit, and that comes out in some of those calls. I can’t speak for all of them but a lot of the more infamous penalties against him came in retaliation to some bullshit an opponent was pulling. He should probably get some better discipline and learn to let some stuff go, but I personally find it kind of fun. I think his willingness to fight back and goad other players shows a level of confidence you want in a goalie. It’s just a matter of not letting that confidence cloud judgement.

I think he’ll definitely improve as his experience level grows. Learning when to pick fights and when to drop it is something a lot of players have to do, not just Dobes.

One thing I wish he’d stop doing is retrieving pucks during 5 on 5 when every opposing forward is moving to pincer him, giving every Habs fan a collective heart attack.

[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

yeah being a mile from his net really bit him in the ass

[rapidlydecayingcorpse]

i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this

[frozenartscapes]

the bullshit calls are infecting the pwhl

slashing my ass. one of the first things i was taught when i started playing was hold your stick with two hands and keep a good grip on it. if that little butterfly kiss of a slash took the stick out of your hands? you need to be holding on to your stick better

i think i need to calm down

Ugh I know! Also I could be crazy but I feel like something similar happened right at the start of the game where Ottawa broke a Montreal stick doing something similar and nothing came of it.

At least Montreal managed to kill the power play

[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

you are not crazy because ive seen plenty of shit Ottawa pulled that shouldve been penalties.

i went so far as to ask my dad about the whole holding onto your stick thing and he said he used to tape his gloves to his stick during practice to help him learn

[frozenartscapes]

i need a rumi and celine reaction to that second buffalo goal. i cant believe that went in. that was insane. physics is insane.

Dude everyone was so pissed and flabbergasted by that goal that the reactions to it all came out in different languages. Rumi’s the only one who stays Korean. Celine unleashed a string of Québécois curses. Zoey shouts a loud and impassioned “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK” in full American English. The goal was so unbelievable Mira even mutters her shock in stunned Russian.

Rumi and Celine both have flashbacks to the baseball that got wedged in the mats during game 6 of the World Series (as did I).

[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

the fucking weird bounces are back and you werent kidding.

on a slightly related note, why couldnt they review something for ten minutes again so that it could easier to watch both games again?

[frozenartscapes]

apparently im the only one in my house who cares about the buffalo v montreal game, but i know i can talk about this with you despite our teams being at odds currently.

that penalty on montreal called like 10 seconds in? bullshit, he was playing the puck. even i could see that

lol thank you! The broadcasters on Sportsnet were literally just talking about avoiding an early penalty too.

This is definitely going to be an intense series. Happy to chat about it!

(Fuck I was just about to post this and we just got another dumb penalty!)

[why-is-thinking-so-hard]

theyre calling all kinds of bullshit calls when actual penalties are happening right in front of their eyes

[frozenartscapes]
