What we need for true perpetual energy is to just capture that guy Blanka from Street Fighter.

Surely that dude has to eat a lot in order to produce so much energy, no? Or is it just all stored somewhere in his body?

Lol you weren't kidding... The full sentence is even weirder:

Any solid system has the capability of being a magnet, but this takes an incredible amount of physics work where iron is special.

I kind of hope a human didn't write that...

What? The "Land of the free"?

Whoever told you that is your enemy

Like it or hate it, the Steam Marketplace was a pretty fucking brilliant move on their part. Literally just a free money glitch lol

It's not a coincidence that they are not a publicly traded company...

I remember installing Half-Life 2 (requiring 5 CDs lol) and thinking "wtf is this Steam shit, I just want to play the game"

I really hope that the workers are well compensated.

You have to understand that I'm not trying to defend the Democratic party here. It's just important to be clear that both sides are not even close to being "equally out of their minds."

Do I really need to go into details here, or is it not just self-evident based on the past 6 months?

That's rich coming from the person who was previously correcting a stranger's grammar in an unnecessarily aggressive tone.

Sounds kind of like projection..

Can't say I haven't had similar thoughts lately... use up my savings, sell all my shit (except video games probably lol), and just move out to rural Vermont or the Canadian wilderness or some shit, and opt out of this bullshit society for real. I know it's easier said than done though...

It's a super basic thing that hopefully most people already know about, but "box breathing" really helps me when I need to relax. For people who aren't aware:

Four second long inhale, then hold for four seconds. Four second exhale, then hold for four seconds. Repeat.

After a bit I realize that I'm not counting anymore and it doesn't feel like holding my breath because now I'm just breathing slow on my own.

Cannabis helps me. But I guess that's a form of "medication" (though not with the same mechanisms of addiction as amphetamines, I don't think).

Well, I guess that depends on how you define "help." It usually doesn't do anything for my poor executive functioning, but it does help with the anxiety that usually comes with it.
