I don't. I find I'm enjoying the age I'm at and it would be excellent if I could stay like this forever! I can go on 5 hour hikes and kayak rides if I get too old my back or legs or arms will get sore just like they do now, but then won't stop being sore. Sounds like you haven't reached 20 yet, you'll learn a lot yet!
Last couple years have been big strides in the Fusion energy sphere for sure. While we're still far away from grid-scale fusion energy production, observation that had not been realized in the lab before are coming about, including net positive energy reactions, and also a sustained high-temperature fusion environment from a South Korean lab.
The caveat for this experiment (from the December numbers at least), 2.15MW was delivered to the target via laser, but the fuel needed to power that laser was more than the 3MW output from it, and harnessing that power still involves losses. I didn't see what the numbers were this time but apparently they are better according to the article. These are still great steps towards viable fusion energy.
Here, I made Clickbait Article/Video title for you. Just missing a few red arrows:

Aww that's so sweet! My favourite Legendary!
(This is a long ramble. It might not help you but whatever.)
TL:DR; life sucks, it might not suck later, find the good in your situation, make human connection, and ultimately things are only a small part in your control
The promise of a "they lived happily ever after"/perfectly good world is a lie and a fairy tale, simple as that. People are liars, nature and society are cruel, NOTHING you do will change that. Life sucks and your life in particular has really sucked to this point. BUT, that doesn't mean your life must suck forever. You appear smart and intelligent enough to even be able to write out something like this. Even if you had an appearance (or smell) that petrifies people on sight like Medusa 😅, your wits are worth something.
The people who often say "it will get better" either have a lot of things going for them that you don't, or have just learned to live with their awful situation and making the most of it. My situation (which hardly compares to yours at all) got better from previously, but it's in no small part thanks to people who stepped up and gave me advice and support when I needed it.
You sound like you are somewhere in the USA. In Canada we have a real affordability crisis as it is, but the States somehow has an extra ingrained disdain for people just looking to scrape by, as if they somehow deserve suffering. I'm glad you at least have internet access, I've recently helped a homeless person who had no working electronics and it was surprisingly challenging, since virtually everything is online or a phone call away.
You need someone to talk to, someone you can trust or something to look forward to. You need help, and you need someone in your corner who can vouch for you. Too much suffering will break you permanently, through PTSD (which compounds traumatic experiences you've been through alresdy), just not eating or sleeping enough, or through an addiction to drugs.
Now, you can't force someone else to love you, but what can you do on your own part? Nature walks, visits to the library for inexpensive solo activities. Does disability/welfare give you ANY mental health support at all? Cause dude that is something you will need to address to even start to solve half these issues. You play DnD, start by at least appreciating you have a healthy distraction (if this is how you want to refer to it) to a painful life. Don't unload on people that don't want to be your therapist, but make use of a real human connection to talk about things you like and listen to their experiences too.
I use my GMail app and IMAP on desktop anyway so I don't come across these silly things. Their labels thing still doesn't make any sense at all.
Threads is on track to earn the title of "most actively dropped social network".

Hey I appreciate you putting US-specific in the post title.
(TW/movie spoiler second paragraph)
OK I get Japanese people take things seriously and are upset, and it's easy to laugh at something like Barbenheimer when the consequences of atomic bombings are mostly on another continent. I write this on a day of immense tragedy for the world, after the bomb it was apparent that human suffering can know no bounds if we don't make an effort to live in peace.
Did the author really watch the same Oppenheimer I did? I think Christopher Nolan did more than his due diligence on the matter. The scene with the speech and the thunderous applause juxtaposed with harrowing scenes of Japanese civilians being burnt alive was far and away the most gut-wrenching part of the film.
Like fuck, we really fucking did that to people. That should really make anyone stop and think.
That said, I don't mind the fact that people make light of two contrasting movies releasing the same day. Let people have their humour, especially to cope for something so dark and tragic.
I'm glad I got to see Oppenheimer on 70mm film, it was quite an experience.
The theatre that I was at didn't even bother to load any trailers or anything. The ticket was $25 Canadian when a normal one is around 13.
Thanks, but "I'm fine with it" doesn't necessarily mean I would miss it if it's gone.
Here's something: I'd like to see more posted in !betterment@beehaw.org
It's a good place for people to post the big and the small things people have done or changes they have made to improve themselves or the world around them.
No news, no doom and gloom, just good vibes, encouragement and seeing the little nice things people do for each other.
My advice: reply to 7-21 day old posts! Go to !chat@beehaw.org, !askbeehaw@beehaw.org and speak your mind! !chat@lemmy.ca needs more posts too! OPs there still tend to respond to those posts.
Lemmy is first and foremost a link aggregator you know. So it's not surprising there are a lot of news links. I think each community is different in terms of the percentage breakdown between news, discussion and meta-discussion.
I don't have a clear idea of what you'd want out of Lemmy, but I'm open to hearing it for ideas to make an effort to make Beehaw a livelier place that I could try contributing to myself.
(Again I'm not an expert) With the Steam Subscriber Agreement it's effectively a purchase of a perpetual/indefinite license to non-commercial use of a game. But purchasing a DVD is, arguably, the same thing, you are given indefinite license to view the video non-commercially in a home setting. What difference does it make between a game on your hard drive and a movie on a disc?
By my moral standard, games with Steamworks bypassed by something like Goldberg is functionally equivalent to DVD decryption. It's my opinion that the continued access to social and internet connected features like Friends list, Workshop, Matchmaking, Redownloading games, Cloud Save Backups is contingent on accepting and adhering to your agreement with Valve and/or the server hosting the matchmacking service. That's why I'm very much against always online type of DRMs for single player games.
Imagine having a pool in your backyard, but the pool installers have to permit and supervise you while you use it. For a public pool it would make sense to be supervised for everyone's safety to ensure no one's messing around, but for your own pool it doesn't.
Yeah that's the kind of thing Beau is good at. I didn't want to spoil too much of the video and kept the summary to two sentences, but that's one of the points where Beau challenges the viewer with something unexpected, that gets them to open their mind up and think a little, even if for just a moment.
I mean it's a good thing he's found you as a helpful mentor.
One online personality who I know is fairly good at explaining things in terms even people caught in right-wing pipelines can understand: Beau of the Fifth Column on YouTube.
Take this video for example on the topic of masculinity. Here Beau talks about the current trend of projecting masculinity and "being manly" through things like posture, limiting yourself to specific hobbies, talking certain ways and making yourself appear stoic to attract girls. He says it's not unlike how women were trained to behave in the 19th century in order to court a man.
His style is patient, and he speaks in a way that can resonate with a lot of people, including those who are confused about certain progressive people movements, and even those that are settled deep in the conservative tar pit.
You'll want to avoid sounding too preachy all the time, and be sure you recognize and empathize with anything he might be struggling with.
For my use case this is a positive change (for once). The less data I need to waste loading a Mr. Beast face thumbnail I don't need the better.
I wonder if it is intended to cause NewPipe to crash, lol. Or to instead fill the page with ads later.
