I’ve been dealing with depression a lot since I quit drinking. I’ve found that exercise does help, but for me it has to be exercise that I actually enjoy. I’ve been going for walks. I like exploring different parts of my neighborhood and now that I’ve been doing it a while I can cover 4 or 5 miles in a day! Being in better shape gives me more energy and I actually feel like getting up and doing something instead of just vegging out in front of the TV for hours

I’ve also found that just cleaning my space has been really helpful. I let my house turn into a disgusting mess when my depression was at it’s worst, and the act of tidying it all up helped improve my mood a lot. Having actual space to work and everything where its supposed to be has made me much more productive artistically too. Seeing a mess every day was just making me more depressed.

Finding a new hobby that you have to learn about and get better at can really help with getting the creative process going too.

I hope this is helpful. I know the same things don’t always work for everyone, but I’m in a much better place than I was 2 years ago now

Sounds like a good deal to me!

I was banned from the Anti-Work subreddit for questioning why someone in a picket line was dressed like the wish .com version of Che Guevara. He looked ridiculous, nobody else was dressed up, and they were picketing a fucking Starbucks.

I thought it was just a funny observation but the mods banned me after it got upvoted to top comment on the post lol

I just put a big rubber band around my ID, my debit card, my laundry card and a little cash!

I have these glasses! I bought them on Amazon!

Not true! I stopped carrying a wallet almost 2 years ago!

There are filter apps you can put on your phone to help identify them since they’re usually calling voip. I know the FCC is trying to ban spoofing and you can report spoofing on their website

I had never heard of Michaelmas before! I’ll never look at blackberries the same way again now!

When the scammers spoof numbers they usually just get a block of random numbers that are local to where they are calling, then they just try them one at a time. They pick numbers that look local because people are more likely to answer.

They never actually bother verifying whose number they’re using though, so it frequently results in them calling from the persons own number who they are trying to scam, local businesses, and even local government numbers.

I work for the phone company and I’ve frequently gotten calls from people telling me someone just called them from their own number lol

If I don’t know who it is then I’m not answering shit. I don’t even bother looking up the numbers anymore because they all come from spoofed caller IDs now, and if you answer you’ll get 1000 more scam calls immediately because now they know you’re dumb enough to pick up

I don’t believe he’s going to sleep as well as he thinks. If he dresses up like that he’s liable to be visited by three spirits during the night who will teach him the true meaning of Christmas.

The fact that it’s currently July would make it all the more unsettling

I’m working on some new pieces now so hopefully I’ll have something else to post soon!

You can repost this story as many times as you want (I count this as the 4th time you’ve posted it in the last hour) you are still an asshole

Did you seriously just repost your own story hoping to get a different result?

Wtf is wrong with you

YTA for everything in this hopefully fake story and for wasting everyone’s time reposting it

So three men kept her trapped in a car for 3 hours and spent the entire time basically saying how much they want to gang bang her.

She apparently felt resigned to put up with this up to the point that it escalated to one of you actually putting your hands on her, at which point she quite understandably felt that she was in real physical danger and could not longer keep up pretending that any of this was ok

When you realized she was still clearly traumatized by this event a week later you patted her on the head like she was a wayward puppy so she would know how silly she was being.

This is either fake or you are the most clueless misogynist in the world

I hope for her sake that this story is rage bait

Either way you are clearly a gigantic gaping asshole

Yes as long as you have a Gmail account and a payment method you can put on file you can use Google Play without a sim card just over wifi. All a sim card does is connect you to a cellular network, it shouldn’t really affect your ability to set up any Google services

I just recently took up cross stitching. You can learn all the basics for free on YouTube and there are tons of cross stitching communities online and there are tons of free patterns online too. All the supplies you need at first are some thread, some Aida cloth and needles. When I started I got a stitching hoop too I think my total investment was about $20.

At my last office job it was ceiling cat who watched everyone poop

Why does the daughter have a tapeworm?

The first thing I thought when I found that token was “everything used to be so much easier” lol

I’m afraid it’s just another unfortunate consequence of becoming middle aged 😰
