fractureto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Plunge in Conscientiousness Among Young, a Critical Quality for Personal and Societal SuccessEnglish1·6 days agowhy would they give a fuck, they’re getting fucked by the social contract, they get paid twice as much to inherit a burning planet and absolutely no prospects to have a home or even ever leave their childhood home, for the shit thankless work that customer service always has been
all for the “privilege” of making billionaires richer and furthering the destruction of the planet they’re inheriting
tbf, things were going downhill in 2008, but things are fully off the rails now, we at least had delusions of hope back then
fell for it award edit: from limited experience, i’ve found it can be helpful to talk to young folks about the power of organizing and collective action. they’re perpetually burned out from having nothing they can do to improve their circumstances, but this is a powerful avenue that, if communicated properly, can motivate them to become more invested both in their own situations, and that of others
quick check on your basics. sleep, hydration, food, hygiene. make sure they’re square
if you’re good on that front, get a good exercise session in (or work up to it, do a little bit of exercise over the next few days and build up your tolerance)
do something nice for yourself, something that preferably has a sensory component. have a nice meal with good smells and textures, or a warm bubble bath, or wash your blankets and curl up in them, or throw some ASMR on, or… you know, whatever does it for ya
go for a walk when the weather isn’t too hot
good easy ways to pull yourself out of a slight dip. kinda been there myself, this the type of shit i been doing, too
i’m not wild about the implicit comparison to a literal alien, but it’s also… fine. it feels a bit othering in the kind of way like, the owner wishes political dialogue wasn’t constantly about trans people (… which i agree with!) i think they’re probably not transphobic, but i would also hazard a guess they don’t really Get It, either
fractureto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Is it helpful to learn to draw if im depressed/unmotivated?English2·13 days agodrawing is a wonderful skill that allows you to express ideas in a way that words simply cannot
it really helped me a lot to express the sort of things i was going through when i was depressed. it helped because i could express the feelings without explaining the situation or having to put it in words
do you have friends that would be supportive of your drawings? if you don’t, you could even post them online or here. but i think having a place to show your art and get feedback helps a lot (ofc, if you want to keep your art to yourself, that’s perfectly okay too)
https://drawabox.com/ if you want to give it a try
need to keep this image on deck lmao
fractureto Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•What's a good soulslike for someone that hates melee besides the Remnant series?English4·18 days agocheck out monster hunter (world/rise/wilds) and hop on bow, light bowgun, or heavy bowgun. expect a steep learning curve, but it shouldn’t be bad if you’re used to soulslikes, monhun is just precious with iframes, so it’s a lot tighter to iframes through moves than it is in a typical souls/like
if you pick it up and end up needing a hand, hit me up! always happy to teach people how to hunt
fractureto Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•What's a good soulslike for someone that hates melee besides the Remnant series?English6·18 days agoshoutout to demon’s souls for its cracked out magic system, it goes hard lmao
idk if i could say this is surprisingly easy or even really easy at all. this has actually been one of the most difficult things i’ve worked towards accomplishing during my life
at least, this has been really difficult for me online; i think it’s much easier in person to not be a dick lol
but if it’s hard for me online, maybe it’s hard for folks in-person, too
fractureto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study FindsEnglish2·21 days agowhat does that distinction mean to you, aside from the literal wording being different?
oh you mean they’re not diagnosed with depression, they are only reporting higher scores of anxiety and depression, i see
fractureto Mental Health@lemmy.world•Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study FindsEnglish3·21 days agoi don’t understand what the implication is here. is more likely to report depression symptoms meaningfully distinct from having them? do we think that men born in the summer are just more honest about their mental health struggles?
fractureto Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?English3·25 days agoyoooo nice, yeah finding the collectibles in khazan has been kinda tough… i just wrapped my piss (friend group name for lies of p lmao) ng run and now i’m gonna do ng+ with plc… it took me like a year to finish piss LOL, i was really slow on it but i’m cooking now because of my friend group
fractureto Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?English3·25 days agoanyone here on khazan aka HOT GUY SOULS?? great blend of fast paced combat, broken combos, and a varied and expressive defense game. and the protag is a hot guy. really really enjoying it, including the over-the-top korean revenge plot
i’d like to see more than “i don’t know if it holds water”, especially since you don’t couch it nearly as well in your previous post bringing it up
a thesis is on the onus of who brings it up to substantiate it; if you can’t defend it, i would question the wisdom of bringing it up in an already contentious conversation
yeah i’m interested (also i’m transmasc), i’m around pretty often on this account now, it’s the main one i use for browsing lemmy nowadays
it would really be better for me if moderation stuff works on the boost client, idk if you know if it does or not (have never moderated before)
heads up, this starts immediately with loud gunshots lmao
who am i kidding, no one is gonna see this…
