Here is an article discussing it.
I would personally think that Buddhist techniques like mindfulness and meditation would be helpful here.
I don’t know how I really achieved it, but one thing I do remember I did was altering my negative self-talk so I would be alarmed and notice I was doing it.
I basically changed “I should kill myself” to “I should kill (some other specific person)”, as the latter horrified me. Might be a similar technique.

Okay, so what’s the other side? He decides not to tariff them if he gets a personal bribe or policy concession.
That’s the Trump tax.

We remember those moments with shame because we keep reliving them and reveling in the shame.
Remembering something taints the memory with your current mindset.
When those memories come up, choose a different response. Laugh at yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself.
Those memories will change in response when you stop the self-abuse. And it really does feel better too.

Even the archive.org version is pay walled for me. Very strange.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 6 days ago:
I gotta say that anecdotally I’ve heard how awesome and accepting and loving the people living under totalitarian governments are except for Russian people.
So I honestly apologize, it’s just been reinforced by my media consumption and lack of travel to learn and mingle.

He looks a bit sketchy.
- Comment on Marvel Snap is banned, just like TikTok 2 weeks ago:
When they get it back up and running, they should apologize for The Blip.

Time to start researching if I can build my own wind turbine, I suppose…
- Comment on I pissed myself off in the shower. No, not in that way. 2 months ago:
The way I look at things it’s a disease, the root of it being that it makes you not at ease with yourself.
We can’t treat this disease by altering the brain, but we can alter the body. So this is the best treatment we have to offer at the moment, and people should be allowed to pursue it.
I only became more adamant about this in the last year since my wife and I took in a trans person in need. It’s personal for me now.

- Comment on Robot vacuum cleaners are being hacked to spy on your family, chase pets, hurl verbal abuse, and the makers claim users 'do not need to worry excessively about this' 3 months ago:
My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.
It’s my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I’m someone who never vacuums otherwise.

- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 4 months ago:
Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.

Thank you!

I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?
- Comment on Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the classic RPG Wizardry, has passed away 5 months ago:
My first CRPG, only behind D&D.
My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn’t last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.
- Comment on Steam Suffers Major DDoS Attack During Launch of “Black Myth: Wukong” 5 months ago:
Probably Epic. It’s one of the times Steam is at peak usage and sabotaging a big Steam launch would ‘work well’ for them.
Of course trying to sabotage and failing makes Steam look better, which is why Epic continues to flounder.
- Comment on Worms Armageddon Anniversary Edition: A Retro Revival | Retro Gaming News 24/7 5 months ago:
My buddies and I would play on the Playstation and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone’s head and swing back to safety in time.
Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.

Ah, you’re right! Brain failure. Thank you.
- Comment on Atari announces the 7800 Plus console coming this winter 5 months ago:
The 7800 had a controller with a keypad used for many games.
Is that gone entirely?
Who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have bought one anyway, but it was my first console.

That’s not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.
- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 5 months ago:
I can’t see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.
But if I’m wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That’s a terrible precedent to set.
- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 5 months ago:
I wonder if they have some longer term strategy here because this story is far too damaging over a 50k payout.
Like maybe they make an insane argument to undermine arbitration clauses so they can win elsewhere.
Because this is a maliciously bad look for Disney. Nobody should ever have to think about streaming contracts while deciding where to eat.
Carve the Mouse! Break it up!
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
You have no idea how happy and relieved I was when I saw the term “brain shocks”.
I wasn’t insane, I wasn’t the only one, and it’s a normal thing.
Now what’s really weird is that I had them at a young age when I don’t think I was on any medication. Certainly in the days before Prozac and the like. And I can’t recall when they stopped.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
When I had them (on wellbutrin) they weren’t withdrawal symptoms and could happen at almost any time of day.
It’d present when I’d get up or turn my head. I’d feel/hear a high pitched zing sound and my vision would stutter a little. Very disconcerting, especially when driving, carrying heavy items, or using sharp objects.
Went away when I switched meds.
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 6 months ago:
You can always also get a cheaper sentimental ring and go out ring shopping together for the official one.
That way you keep the surprise and she gets the ring she wants, plus another ring and a nice memory.
