I have felt the same way at times. Just not waking up, so nobody can say that I quit.

My advice is to focus on healing your self with therapy sessions. Assuming this might sound like bad advice to someone who is broke try to figure out which free resources are available. Maybe subreddits or users willing to help pro bono.

Just the fact that you want to inquire about social media being weaponized against you is something that I would say just log off, don't let it even get to you. There's a reason why people deactivate their social accounts. Maybe it has happened but that shouldn't concern you. Your well being is and that involves difficult conversations challenging your thoughts and expectations.

Adulthood is more insidious in this respect, yes. Because our country lacks basic things like a national health care system that can help us. We have an infinite budget for wars but the notion of helping one another is blasphemous. So you're on your own in that sense, unfortunately.

The mind is funny, it can be our best friend or own worst enemy. Do everything in your power to love and care for yourself. Everything flows from there. Your situation is not unusual or embarrassing. You're not the first and won't be the last person to experience it. Build yourself up, don't break yourself down.


Parent commenter should look up Medicaid in their state.

The city or state should have people to help with the forms, including social workers.

From there, they can also get connected with licensed mental health counselors.


I highly recommend Doomberg's substack for energy related analysis. His article "Angels on a Pin" explains how storing nuclear waste is not as scary as people make it out to be.

Congress (verbally) fried GM because stories like that hurt the car industry unless people believe they are being dealt with, not because 100 deaths is a large number.


"The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances."

Yes there's a lot of good content now with guidance on setting up one of these pf or opnsense routers. Really cool stuff. And use any old router you have in AP mode and you're set!


Some could argue that your life savings is also at risk in a bank in high inflationary countries like Turkey or Lebanon. I think bitcoin's main argument in its favor is that its supply is not controlled by bankers.

All the risks associated with holding onto it is worth it to me. Anonymous transactions are not interesting to me personally but complete sovereignty is.

The chances of someone guessing your key are very low. But if you are worried about that then you put the funds into a multi-signature arrangement.

It certainly takes time to understand these things but it's worth it for the benefits it brings. Nobody can steal or tax your funds against your will. If it takes 6 months for an average person to wrap their head around all the concepts it's not the worst thing in the world. It takes 6 months, at least, to learn how to operate a tank. But it does slow adoption rates.


"Some could argue that your life savings is also at risk in a bank in high inflationary countries like Turkey or Lebanon" Convert your savings to physical assets (materials, tools).. And guns, lots of guns.


You really just closed that overton window didn't you


Tongue in cheek joke went over most people's heads


Don't know if it works for your use case but I've been pretty happy with cardknox


Why doesn't anyone ever consider XMPP using one of the many clients like gajim, conversations, etc.? It's got all of the encryption features anyone would want but has zero mentions as a secure messaging option.


Why not just use simplelogin? Buy your own email domain and you can create random emails on the fly. Like if you're prompted to input your email you can use the name of the prompter [email protected] and it'll forward it to your regular mailbox. It's fantastic.


Actually if you just need that you can just add something random on your domain and mail will be delivered on that email just using catch-all feature that even some basic providers like mailbox.org provide, you don’t need any additional service layer for that. Sending emails from those addresses become tricky and cumbersome.


It's going to be really interesting to see how Jack Mallers' app Strike now entering Argentina is going to change things in the country.


Why would anything change? There is a dozen apps/bank analogues and fintechs that deal with crypto. They are all subject by and large to argentine banking law.


I don't know the app landscape there but assume it's sparse and probably not as easy to use


Incredibly easy. Binance is even sponsoring the argentine football team
