My armchair psychology theory is that it is the same brain mechanism why people smoke cigarettes.

We know smoking cigarettes is bad. Cigarette smokers know smoking cigarettes is bad, but they can't stop.

Obviously addiction plays a part, but they won't switch to nicotine gum, nor zyns/snus nor even vapes

I may have fallen out of touch, but I don't think so.

The last sturgeon meme I saw was was Charlie Wonka asserting that he was a sturgeon

Must have been two years ago almost

Is anyone sleeping easy?

I think I've burnt through my body's weight in indica in the last 6 months alone trying to doze off

I'd go back in time to fifteen minutes ago when I had my earphones

Like fuck dude

I just had it and I can't find the fucking things anywhere

edit: found it. If that was my only time travel opportunity, I'd take it

I posted this yesterday in LemmyShitpost a grainy AI image of a horse puking in Walmart or some shit

Honest to god thought it was a horse barfing in a convenience store. Then someone pointed out that horses can't puke.

The jpegification and motion blur did a lot of heavy lifting. None of the shit in the background makes any sense. Back legs also look kinda weird.

I wouldn't really call myself a distro hopper, but in the last few months I've had to do some fresh installs on a couple of machines and VMs for work

If these aren't included by default, I'll make sure to get em:

GUI:

  • Firefox & Chromium
  • Gimp & Krita
  • VSCode/VSCodium
  • Okular
  • Libre office

CLI*:

  • git
  • wget&curl
  • neovim
  • zsh/ohmyzsh + plugins
  • glow
  • neofetch
  • figlet/toilet
  • zellij
  • python
  • nodejs/npm/nvm + nodemon globally
  • ranger/rifle

Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

I've always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me.

Curious to see if there's a terminal someone swears by and refuses to use anything else.

a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

Speaking for myself here, but I feel like this can make the problem worse. /r/depression is something in a similar vein. Whenever I went there, I'd always leave sadder. There's something about reading other people's struggles that just seemed to reinforce my own sense of hopelessness.

Also, bad advice on those kinds of forums can look extremely reasonable if your perception of the world is clouded by your problems.

I know it doesn't work for everyone, but give therapy a shot if you haven't already.

Like others have said, having a friend that you see regularly can help with loneliness. Doesn't even have to be strangers. Try messaging an old friend you drifted apart from. Odds are they'd be happy to catch up.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice. I know this isn't the type of response you asked for. I hope everything works out for you, bud.
