It says something about the state of America that you can't get people to care about politics by talking about health care, mass incarceration, housing prices, etc. But tell them woke is why vidja games are bad and they're ready to go for fascism.

"And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin," Biden said, referring to Zelenskiy.

While correcting himself about two seconds later, Biden added: "President Putin, you're going to beat President Putin, President Zelenskiy. I am so focused on beating Putin."

That sounds similar to the way my Bipolar manifests, although my episodes are longer lasting.

I think it's worth getting evaluated by a psychiatrist (if possible)even if you aren't interested in trying medications right now. I didn't have great luck with the preventative bipolar medications(lithium etc), but having a prescriber has been useful for getting meds to deal with some of the symptoms. If I get manic and have difficulty sleeping they increase my sleep med, if I get really agitated I can get meds to help with that.

I think it's also worth telling someone you know and trust in real life, if possible. Those low lows can be tough, and having someone to check in with is really helpful.

Doesn't that seem like low qualifications? I would have assumed you'd need some kind of experience and education.

That said, I'm completely in favor of incompetent people guarding US politicians

My dad was a mean alcoholic and heavy cocaine user. He was more abusive and mean to me than my siblings, I'm guessing it was because I was the weird one. I got away from him as soon as I old enough and basically only saw him at family gatherings.

He lost both his legs to diabetes at 53, and then cirrhosis which messed with his cognition. He had driven away anyone who could take care of him, so I took him in, started handling all his stuff. He didn't have the ability or power to be abusive to me, but he caused a ton of chaos in my life. He managed to continue drinking by paying people to sneak it in my apartment. It was a really rough time in my life, and I ended up having a relapse.

He died 8 or 9 years ago and I'm still conflicted about it. Honestly I was glad he was dead initially, but I'm trying to have empathy for him. He did shitty stuff, but he was also a person suffering from mental health and drug issues, just like me.

Dragon Quest Builders. It's a collect and build stuff block game with the dragon quest creatures, it's relaxing. My only gripe is that the combat is way too easy, and that's coming from someone who sucks at games.

I was always jealous of the kids with lunchables. As an adult I bought one of them and it was kind of nasty. It wasn't pizza, though

The dentist I last saw told me it's more important to floss after every meal than brush. He was saying that stuck bits of food in your teeth trap bacteria and start cavities. He also advised against eating soft dry foods that get packed into your teeth, like crackers, for the same reason.

I don't know how true it is, but it makes sense to me given that cavities seem to happen most often in the places that food gets trapped.

I stopped using the apps because none support the Hexbear emoji picker. I just use the PWA now(install through the menu in your browser). The only thing I miss is being able to configure individual font sizes.

You'd be surprised at how often that doesn't protect people.

For me it's torturous sometimes because I'll hear 5 seconds of a song in a grocery store or something, and the rest of the day I'm listening to a Celene Dion song on repeat.
