- Comment on Im stupid but have money 1 day ago:
You know what I’m going to say something different and I hope it’s not too inappropriate.
The other commenters have done well so far. But have you considered using some of your money for therapy? I see you said you’re on antidepressants, but I wasn’t sure if you were already in therapy or not.
I don’t mean this as a cop out answer and I don’t mean that they will directly help you with your finances. But it might be a good idea to talk to someone about the “nothing matters because the world is going to shit” mentality. Even if there is merit to what you say, it isn’t exactly helping you feel happy or satisfied with your life. If you can learn to cope with this particular thought, you might find the rest falling into place a little easier.
- Comment on In most cases the simplest explanation is the correct one 2 days ago:
Yeah, one of my siblings has always been a cocky asshole his whole life for reasons unknown to me. My other two siblings and I obviously have our own issues, but I wouldn’t call any of us assholes. We all grew up in the same environment so it’s odd to me.

Localized entirely within your kitchen???
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 days ago:
I’m pretty sure I would eat shit if I tried to do any BMX stuff. Hope you enjoy it even though you mangled yourself lol.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 days ago:
Ahh damn that sucks. It makes it super easy for tennis shoes/sneakers.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 days ago:
I guess I don’t have delicate shoes. I just throw them in the washing machine.

Really don’t need something to make me more depressed, thanks.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 2 weeks ago:
Wow! Do you have sex? Other forms of physical touch? I never knew two people who don’t enjoy kissing could find each other.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 2 weeks ago:
I did twice in life. It was very wet and tasted like spit. Confusing why it’s pleasant to others lol.
- Comment on I can taste sounds 2 weeks ago:
Lmao what is this comment? Who shat in your cornflakes this morning?
- Comment on Is there a self-help way to deal with fear of germs/"contamination"? 3 weeks ago:
Have you looked up “contamination OCD”? That’s basically what you’re describing! I wouldn’t say it’s overly common among the general population, but it is an incredibly well known phenomenon and something that providers are definitely able to treat! If you’re not able to see someone due to various reasons like cost (totally understandable!), you might try looking up the methodologies that specifically address and treat contamination OCD.
- Comment on The void can be loud sometimes 3 weeks ago:
Whoa where did you get this drawing of me?
Actually kind of relevant because I seek out issues from mental health providers that are very intermittent so it’s hard to get them to understand what the problem is and how to help me with it. Like they diagnosed me with “depression” because I presented as AAAA but have tried to explain to them that it’s intermittent and not the classic incessant low mood and energy.
Anyway…cue the “sir, this is a Wendy’s” response to this comment lol!!
- Comment on Do I have extreme anxiety? 3 weeks ago:
Ok I know you are trying to help at all and chronic headaches can occasionally point to something bad about this.
But there is a funny sort of humor that comes from telling an incredibly anxious person that they might have a brain tumor lol.
I really mean no disrespect!

Wow your love went up so dramatically. Mine is the opposite in a way.
- Comment on When you KNOW the facts you are more likely to stay safe 4 weeks ago:
I briefly shadowed at a medical examiner’s office. “Choking” was a scarily common cause to see up on the board. So I have a hard time believing only one person has ever died eating a donut.
Note that I am pretty sure a lot of those choking deaths are in older people because your swallowing can become impaired.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 1 month ago:
For those in car-centric countries, I’d bet that potential vehicle accidents are likely a majority of those.

I have never heard the phrase “apocalyptically gay” before. I need to figure out how to use this in my life lol.

- Comment on We interrupt your happiness to bring you this special message from our sponsors 3 months ago:
God…whenever I use the device of a relative and see that there are no ad blockers on their yt, it is literally unwatchable. 90 second ads every 90 seconds, I swear, interrupting what’s going on in the video mid sentence. I have absolutely zero clue how people tolerate that.

Great detail on having the hole finally the way through to really highlight it.

Florida has always been the most penis-shaped state tho imo. America’s wang, if you will.

- Comment on Do all American stores have greeters? 3 months ago:
Lmao so I worked at a Dollar Tree for a few months before. Shit was wild. You were expected to check out customers, stock shelves, and put away “go backs” (items that customers didn’t want) on the shelves all concurrently. Because there was never anyone working in the store bahaha
- Comment on Do all American stores have greeters? 3 months ago:
I honestly did not realize Walmart ever had greeters. They’ve always had someone at the entrance/exit. But they just check my receipt to make sure I didn’t shoplift. I didn’t realize anyone acted as greeters there. Is it the same people checking your receipt for shoplifting or no?
Also, in case OP wants to know…most stores do NOT have receipt-checkers at the exit, either. It’s just that Walmart does because it’s a store that is prone to shoplifting.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 3 months ago:
It’s one banana, Michael! What could it possibly cost? $10???
Yes.
- Comment on I'm stupid...how do I avoid wires when mounting things to the wall? 3 months ago:
I’m confused. How could there possibly be no wires or pipes in between the shared walls?
I guess I could see how you could get away with it in terms of pipes, but wires? If you couldn’t put wires in shared walls, then like 80% of the wall space on your average townhome couldn’t have an outlet. I have plenty of outlets on my shared walls. Pretty sure one of my shared walls has plumbing too because that’s where I had a water leak. Quite frankly there is hardly any additional wall space left for an outlet if the shared walls couldn’t be used for outlets and switches.

That definitely would be a more amusing way to find studs.
