Oh definitely, it’s different for everyone. I was too proud to admit that I had a problem, which did me no good. I found the medication that worked for me, but it can be something totally different for someone else. I just first needed to stop sticking my head in the ground.

One of my (very recent!) goals is to destigmatize mental health and the struggles that I have, and to not be afraid to talk about them. I have depression. I have within the last three months admitted it and have sought treatment for it. I had no idea that all the anxiety I was experiencing (semi frequent panic attacks) was because of depression, and I was “treating it” with THC, which obviously is not healthy or sustainable. Since being medicated, I’ve had an incredible turn around, and I’m not substance abusing anymore. I just want to say if you yourself are having problems, it can get better. It’s so hard to address, but once you do, it’s the best feeling in the world.

FUCK YEAH WHAT A UNITING PLATFORM

I’m too old to stay up to watch this, it was great but I need sleep.

Eagles looking super undisciplined, so many penalties. Oh…turnover…

FOOTBALL DAY

Great game so far. Jalon Carter is and always has been an idiot. My wife is giddy.

Hbd did you post those symbols every time or was it a macro

I never paid for one, but I had friends that would order WWE PPV back in the early 2000’s that I enjoyed

I’m a nerd. We probably all are, actually. One of my nerdiest qualities is to obsess about the lore of any fucking thing. What I want to know is, what’s a work of fiction that you ONLY know the lore of? Like, you’ve never actually consumed any of the media (books, shows, games, etc.) but you know the story well. For me, it’s Warhammer 40K. I’ve never read the books, played the games, any of it, but I’ll watch the shit out of an hour long YouTube video talking about The Emperor or some other shit.

Fucking cross ups, I feel like I block the opposite direction on wake up more than I do the “correct” way.

We need all the help we can get.

Cowboys are open to trading Parsons. That would be pretty fucking dumb, so it will probably happen.

I enjoyed the film as well. It’s CGI, from the same studio that makes the Spiderverse films (Sony Pictures Animation). The songs are great.

From this evening, my wife can’t believe I did it, and I can’t believe she can’t believe.

Anger hits a 74 yard field goal and of course it’s against my team. Can’t wait to see this highlight for years to come.

Same question, but it IS peanut butter. Does this change your answer?

Too 5 Mega Man games 5. Mega Man 10 4. Mega Man 9 3. Mega Man X 2. Mega Man 3 1: Mega Man 2

The family had a lot of fun at the game last night, preseason is surprisingly fun to go to because these are the hardcore fans and it’s not crowded. Will probably go every year, now. Doesn’t matter that the level of play is not high, the experience is what it’s about.

An almost religious awe

Please update us in September with a new thread.

I work all day, and get half-drunk at night. Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare. In time the curtain-edges will grow light. Till then I see what's really always there: Unresting death, a whole day nearer now, Making all thought impossible but how And where and when I shall myself die. Arid interrogation: yet the dread Of dying, and being dead, Flashes afresh to hold and horrify. The mind blanks at the glare. Not in remorse - The good not done, the love not given, time Torn off unused - nor wretchedly because An only life can take so long to climb Clear of its wrong beginnings, and may never; But at the total emptiness for ever, The sure extinction that we travel to And shall be lost in always. Not to be here, Not to be anywhere, And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing more true. This is a special way of being afraid No trick dispels. Religion used to try, That vast, moth-eaten musical brocade Created to pretend we never die, And specious stuff that says No rational being Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing That this is what we fear - no sight, no sound, No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with, Nothing to love or link with, The anasthetic from which none come round. And so it stays just on the edge of vision, A small, unfocused blur, a standing chill That slows each impulse down to indecision. Most things may never happen: this one will, And realisation of it rages out In furnace-fear when we are caught without People or drink. Courage is no good: It means not scaring others. Being brave Lets no one off the grave. Death is no different whined at than withstood. Slowly light strengthens, and the room takes shape. It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know, Have always known, know that we can't escape, Yet can't accept. One side will have to go. Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring Intricate rented world begins to rouse. The sky is white as clay, with no sun. Work has to be done. Postmen like doctors go from house to house.

I love telling my wife our team has gone to the Super Bowl twice since her team won the conference.
