Long answer: It just goes to show that you can’t beat an internal problem with external validation, no matter how convincing it would be to the average onlooker. If your self-image/self-worth is low, you have to challenge that assumption internally first. Our (often skewed) perception is way more convincing than it should be.

Short answer: don’t try to evaluate your life when sleepy

I’m not totally sure how to moderate this with our “no politics” rule in this community. I’m thinking the situation (and this meme) is more independently funny than about a political agenda or bickering, so I’m leaving this up.

The spirit of the rule is simply to prevent this community from being another political battleground, and I don’t think this post crosses that line.

We waited a while but realized that if we had been a little less risk averse, we could’ve started earlier and been totally fine.

Yeah, that’s the guy who measures his nighttime erections and has MRIs done every other week, to name a couple of his fixations. It’s a weird way to live, but I have to admit that I’m curious to hear what he’s up to every so often.

This sounds like a magical place.

Sometimes people want a breather, myself included. If there weren’t so many other places to browse that kind of content, we wouldn’t have the rule.

The population on Lemmy is very politically aware and has strong opinions, which is good, however that also means that it’s very easy for any community to become overwhelmed by it and suddenly have little else.

Ok, now how often do I need to remember to inject?

Basically. It just sounds like something Bateman would say.

I believe he was famously socially awkward. He would even deliver the State of the Union by letter instead of speaking.
