Are you having a stroke? I am not disputing the sketch shit that D.Trump and Ep did. I’m merely saying that that has fucking literally nothing to do with the post or conversation. You are either a troll or AI so I’m probably talking to a bot here, rip.

I don’t know what Trump and Epstein have to do with this…? But thanks for the unhelpful reply.

You could start with calling the police?

Because it’s a huge historically majority liberal state?

Well people found a way to do this before smart phones existed so yea…use your fucking brain and figure it out. Other commentors have already listed alternative ways to measure it.

If you spent less time creating smartass replies on Lemmy and more actually thinking, you may learn some things.

I use it to create funny shitpost copypasta-like outputs that I send to my friends in our personal group chats. Otherwise it’s fucking useless.

You replied to the wrong person. That wasn’t the original comment poster. It was just someone making a joke.

Do you enjoy providing data companies with your personal porn preferences?

Have you ever heard of a pen and paper? You can print out tracking forms. I know…pretty crazy right?

People need to take their heads out of their ass and realize that you don’t need an app for fucking everything.

This would be less of a problem if Lemmy moderators actually gave a fuck anout the quality of their communities.

Lol wut?

Yes, unless you’re doing weight lifting or some specific sport that personally excites you, exercise is a chore, just like brushing your teeth or wiping your ass. It is what it is. Gotta do it.

So many misconceptions here.

First, there are 2 buckets of depression. First is situational. These typically resolve when the situation causing it resolves. Second is chronic depression, or whatever the correct term is. This is a lifelong condition that cannot be cured as far as I know, but can instead be mananged. If you have chronic depression then the best thing you can do is accept it and try your best to manage it.

Second, therapists don’t prescribe medication. Psychiatrists do. Talk therapy helps you work through your issues. You can do this without being on meds. It doesn’t have to be both.

Third, exercise has been clinically proven to improve mood, as you said. No, it won’t cure chronic depression but it will sure as shit help. You should definitely take advantage of it if you can.

Typical dismissive answer that I see on here. You know very well US political BS has infiltrated most communities by now.

I think it really comes to running a comprehensive analysis of what you spend money on throughout the year. Calculate everything you spend money on annually. Factor in costs. See what money you’re left over with. Add in some investing goals. Then factor that in and see where you end up with. At the end, if you have money left over and you don’t feel it needs to be added to savings, and you’re satisfied with your current investing (retirement/extra, etc.) THEN by all means, blow the money on cool shit. Because at that point you’ve done your due diligence and have a clear understanding of whether a certain purchase makes financial sense and is worth the tradeoff you get for having that thing.

Of course there is always opportunity cost. I.e. “how much could I have made by investing that money in something”, however this needs to be balanced with your long term goals and how much satisfaction you’ll get out of buying the thing you want.
