I'm open to suggestions. I've tried weed but it doesn't do it for me. Also alcohol lets me have fun socializing instead of just getting stressed out. I'll take the trade off.

I don't have any advice because I'm in exactly the same boat. I think finding other hobbies is probably the best option. It sucks because things were looking so good there for a while until the fucking tech bros ruined it. My problem is all my other interests require workspace that I don't have.

I control my addictions by limiting supply. I buy a fifth of bourbon and a case of beer once a month and that's what I get. If I go on a bender for a week and run out tough shit.

I don't have problems with overeating but if I did my strategy would be to have a limited supply of things I don't have to cook. No chips or soda or sugary bullshit. Just full ingredients that have to be prepped and cooked. When I did cook or order food it would be in an amount that's appropriate. Add friction between me and the things that are a problem for me so it's easier to put off consuming them. Maybe that would work. I don't know.

I also have an abhorrence for delivery services so that helps too.

I can get a fucking steak dinner for the price a some of the more expensive fast food combos around me. Shit is crazy.

This shit right here is why I don't let working stuff update anymore. I shouldn't be sweating if the software update I'm downloading is going to make my life worse or not.

Deadwood

Most of the Gundam series that've come out since the 90s except SEED

Tesla's haven't existed for 20 years. How can that be the average lifespan? At best it's theoretical. Most likely it's some musk stooge making shit up.

Kind of funny story, I launched Stardew valley yesterday and my displays absolutely shit themselves even though my graphics card is pretty new. Turned out that nvidias stupid app had changed the display settings to something weird. I had to manually flip it back to borderless and that fixed it but at first I was like "how out of everything I've played is this the one having problems?"

Because your congressperson is bought and paid for and there aren't enough people assassinating health insurance CEOs in the street to inspire them to change their ways.

Yeah, I'm kind of excited to explore what kind of activities outside has come up with since I was a teenager. Gonna have a lot of free time now that computing won't be fun anymore.

I agree with a lot of the things you said about the problems with AI but not that this is one of them.

If it wasn't this it would have been something else. People with mental health issues can get fixated on things and spiral until they act out. This has been a thing for as long as there have been mental health issues. It's not a failing of AI, it's a failing of society for not having sufficient mental health support to catch people like this before they go off the deep end. They shouldn't have to turn to AI in the first place.

 

I've backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?
