I’ve been there and it’s rough. The worst thing you can do is stay in bed and give in to the cycle of negativity, which will only make things worse. Try to get outside and spend time with friends and family as much as possible, even when you don’t feel like it. Exercise can seem like the last thing you want to do, but it does help boost your endorphins and feel more positive.

I also had good results with using techniques Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps to assess negative thoughts and control them to a certain degree.

And if you need something stronger, speak to a medical professional. There are medications that can help.

Stay strong and don’t give up.

Yeah, same. Getting past Guardians in BoTW required relying heavily on save scumming until I managed to get it right. Any fight that needed flurry rush was also always a disaster.

Darks Souls 3, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Skyrim.

I love RPGs but hate boss fights, for some reason. Once I feel I’ve done enough exploration and character development, I invariably lose all interest close to the last boss.

I thought this whole thought exercise was based on the assumption that Gore became president in 2000 instead of Bush?

There’s a good chance that the 2003 Iraq war wouldn’t have happened, though. That was very much a Neo-Con project of the Bush administration.

Twitter was always toxic but lately it’s become a real cesspool. I created a new account the other day just so I can keep tabs on how recent news plays out over there, and before I had really even followed anyone there were racist dogwhistles and alt-right content right there on the timeline.

Also, the account you’re arguing with has a fairly high chance of being a bot.

Especially since it’s already hard enough to find the specific content you’re looking for on Mastodon.

True, plus lossless is kinda pointless for streaming anyway since the difference between high-bitrate OGG Vorbis is basically undetectable even when using high-end gear.

Source?

Edit: saw it. I think we’re going to need more than a random Facebook troll to bring about a mistrial.

Then we’ll see, won’t we. I wouldn’t get your hopes up, though.

Which is supported by facts.

Well of all those reasons, the only one that seems like it carries any legal weight is the unprecedented use of a federal law as a predicate under NY state law. All the other stuff is pretty weak.

On what basis do you think it will be overturned?

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.

It’s not exactly the same complaint at all. You got a single comment removed from a single thread by a single moderator.

The equivalent would be if the admin of lemmy.world stepped in and not only banned you from World News but also every single other LW community you posted in, out of spite.

I think you have a very different definition of “perfectly reasonable” than most people.

I’ve defended lemmy.ml in the past when people have blamed the entire instance for the actions of a solitary, overzealous moderator, but this genuinely concerns me:

This must have been action taken at the instance admin level, considering all those communities have different moderators.

Is there any way to probe the modlog to see which account it was?

The party that revolutionized political lawfare and has gone after their political rivals via the criminal justice system on several occasions is now clutching their pearls and heralding the end of American democracy?

The audacity.

that’s a pity since unprecedented cases do tend to set precedents.

Not really - that’s just the criminal justice system working as intended.
