I'm just so fuckin burnt out on xenophobia and i feel like that shit got pushed on me a lot growing up.

I didn't really know what I'd use it for until I actually put it together. I did a test print, then printed a small articulated dragon my 4-year-old thought looked neat while we were browsing Thingiverse. Then we realized we could make Hot Wheel track pieces and it was all over. I've also made some small things that I thought would be useful like a wall mount for my work laptop to get it off my desk. It's also been fun to just kinda learn some 3D modeling and see what is on my screen turn into something in my hand.

I spend probably too much time at my desktop so the little shitty fire tab work sent has actually been a really nice disconnect if my hands start hurting too bad. I'll just go outside and sit in the sun and read for a bit. Yeah seven years is a long time for a device to stay not broken, let alone still functional nowadays. Sounds like a valid treat-your-self to me.

Man, is it just me or does all this seem like either generic isekai trash, generic "strongest with weakest skill" trash or generic incest-bait trash?

How do things like Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction not end up on a list like this? Corpo anime is exhausting.

I bought myself a 3D printer two years ago for my birthday and ended up too depressed to even set it up until about two weeks ago. Still depressed, but now I can print Warhammer models I guess? My wife has commandered the ROG Ally I bought for myself this year, so I've been eyeballing the GDP Win Mini for next year. I'm a sucker for clamshell handhelds.

I haven't really looked into tablets since I think the Nexus 7. My work sent me a really shitty Fire Tab and I rooted it and use it to read comics haha. Have iPads changed much in the last while?

As for explaining interests, I feel you. I've honestly found Lemmy really refreshing that I can talk about really anything and there is someone that is interested. It's been nice to vent.

You know, this is kind of a feel good story to me. That money didn't just vanish into the ether. Disney lost that money to the people working on the movies. Not counting the massively overpaid actors and shit, but that "loss" was just regular people taking money from Disney and I like that quite a bit.

Cut root -> cut tip -> press with side of cleaver until I hear the first "cracking" noise.

Then it just unwraps in one piece. I find this a lot harder to do with a regular chef knife for some reason, but I use a cai dao 99% of the time anyway so that might just be me.

Last year kind of killed the idea of being happy about my birthday for me. I always used to hope something fun or kind would happen and it never does. Got a text from my best bud in the morning and the rest of the day was just a day. None of my family remembered or if they did, they made a conscious effort to not say anything. Not sure which is worse? I don't talk to any of them anymore. I've pretty much orphaned myself in the last two years or so and I've been pretty happy about that to be honest.

This year I just went out and got myself some stuff, hung out with my kid, and played some board games with my wife. It was much better to just not expect anything from anyone.

That's not weird. That's how functional societies reconcile when they aren't subjected to endless propaganda and fear mongering.

Tucker And Dale Vs Evil if you want to count horror comedy!

 

After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why.

This month I have:

Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid.

Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently.

Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk.

Made doctor and dentist appointments.

Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.
