    “Functioning Humans” are a myth. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

      People are also spectacularly good at fooling themselves. Every time someone says stuff like “I do sports three times a week” or “I eat fast food about once a month/year”, it’s safe to assume they’re lying to both you and themselves.

        Plenty of people really do live happy, fulfilling lives. It’s quite possible to achieve. But depression has a way of clouding your judgement, and stops you from seeing things that are right in front of you. It’s extremely challenging to pull yourself out of that, but it’s definitely possible. I wish you the best on your journey.

        Uh, recheck that. The park in front of my place is constantly busy with ppl playing sports in large groups, the gym in my building is packed at all hours, and personally I start every day running before showering. Don’t think I’ve missed more than three or four days this year (and that was due to travel/flights). Routine/habits are powerful motivators, both in positive and negative directions. And fast food I dislike (and it’s more expensive than comparable local options in my country like bar food or street food) so I don’t think I’ve had fast food from a chain or similar since the pandemic.

      I was going to make a joke about that being what the GOP wants.

      But then when I reread the joke, it sounded like I was just an idiot who didn’t comprehend what you were saying.

      So instead, lets all just assume I made a funny joke, which daisy chained off of your comment, and mocked fascism, and everybody understood that I’m not an idiot, but also I’m the greatest comedian alive, with the biggest penis, and everybody loves me.

      We all on the same page?

      Ok, cool. Now EVERYBODY thinks I’m an idiot.

      Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
