I’m a dude in Oregon. I regularly make bad life decisions and do not make a habit of learning from my mistakes.
I mean… maybe we’re depressed because of the crushing weight of the real world impacts of what’s being reported on. I absolutely believe that consuming dour media can affect your mood. Plenty of evidence. I’ve also had two friends die of poverty due to their incapability to afford medical expenses.

Yo, you looking to recruit? I’m unabashedly brazen with sharing my search history.
Furries have to get to space somehow.
I think they took down the data request page because it was being over run. I submitted a help ticket for a data request. We’ll see if I ever get a response or if they’ll try to shirk the legal burden.
“they make something beautiful instead of death” Agreed, but your neighbor’s kid’s fingers might not agree after that M-80
