This might be the most nonsense filled string of conflicting words I've read in months.

I've been in a cycle of doom scrolling to educate myself on the current state, anger, panic, depression, distraction, vent to my wife and friends, plan for the worst, and maybe feel a bit better. This cycle seems to repeat at least once a day, sometimes twice.

I can feel it catching up to me though. The constant anxiety and poor sleep are affecting me and I'm not really sure how to improve my mental health except to just disconnect. But then I run the risk of not being informed enough to react or plan.

I recently found out I might be able to get Austrian citizenship for me and my family because my great-grandparents fled the Nazis. Or I can potentially transfer to Australia through work. I also feel angry and cowardly for considering them as viable options. Regardless, my family and I are terrified of the possibility of full-fledged Fascism here or worse, a civil war. It wouldn't be like our first Civil War, it'd be closer to what Ireland went through, but likely worse. I'd expect neighbors killing neighbors, LGBTQ+, liberals, and minorities targeted. The uninformed and panic-primed centrists panicking and escalating violence. It would be an excuse to exterminate folks opposed to the current regime and remake America into a Christo-Techno-Fascist nation.

But to answer your question, pretty fuckin bummed out.

The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don't know wtf it is.

I second Deep Rock. I've recently got back into Destiny 2, which could be an option too. But it's also a lot more than a simple fps. Plus it's infuriating and addictive.

Functionality, ease of use, and longevity taken into account, I'll have to disagree based on my experience. Shield, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire, Raspberry Pi in that order. But if they're planning on using it just for streaming, a Roku stick is the simplest, cheapest, and easiest option. And unless they're already deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem, I'd avoid it too.

Chapterhouse: Dune is legit my favorite book of all time. The series is my favorite series but I love how bat shit crazy everything is after Children.

I've started watching how to videos about bonsai lately. I've alway been curious but the time to grow and keeping the trees alive always seems intimidating.

Plus the folks who do this professionally seem to repot semi regularly and cut away a ton of roots. Everytime I've tried to repot something, I've killed it.
