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.

Not all religious traditions that believe in gods believe in the concept of hell, or the concept of heaven, and depending on the religion different gods favor different things. Frankly, even the idea of a god existing doesn't mean that the god has some ultimate say over what's right/wrong.

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.

Installing Linux on top of a Windows install is a non-issue, the other way around can be a problem. I've been dual booting for years without problems. I keep mine on separate drives, though.

The biggest advantage of federated social media is that there's multiple servers. I know it can be a rough point for new users, but most people can just join whatever the largest server is and they'll be perfectly fine. You need to pick a server because lemmy isn't one website, and it shouldn't be one website. People should be able to host an instance if they disagree with another one's moderation/rules, and spreading the load across many servers helps to prevent large scale downtime when servers go down. All of these advantages can coexist with new users just being pointed to lemmy.world.

You as well! I don't necessarily feel bad on Valentine's Day, it's just a normal day as far as I'm concerned. I can definitely see it been rough for others though

I don't use loops, but I used tiktok for a long time and short form video isn't bad. You get some pointless/garbage stuff, but it can totally be great for sharing information, or memes. The point is whatever users want it to be.

I think it's important to think on what "succeed in life" means to you, really. Not some ideas others told you is success, or what a culture tells you is. A career? A relationship? Kids? I've found I'm a lot happier focusing on living in the moment, focusing on each day individually. I was raised with the mentality that I needed to get a career, get married, have kids, raise a family. I don't want any of that. Obviously I can't say what you want, but self exploration and questioning is important. Finding community with others is hard, romantically or otherwise, and the best I can offer there is that there's a lot of us that feel similarly to you. Even if you don't achieve whatever goals you set yourself, you can find a way to be alright.
