For those of you on mental health medication...

Oh, that's rough. I've been on medication for a little over 6yrs, and have still had the same anti-depressant. When I'm dragged downward from time-to-time, I benefit by changing-up some part of my daily life or routine.

Whether it's moving furniture, sleeping on a different end of the bed, starting some project I know I'll likely not finish, research an entirely new subject to the point of feeling an existential-shift within.

I'm glad you can get some assistance with this.

URGENT AND WILL BE DELETED IN 24 HOURS

And I'm sorry but something should have seemed fishy to you when they said that there was a secret plot to invent a disease and kill people and then sell the vaccine for it....so secret that they APPLIED FOR PUBLIC PATENTS.

Dude, my brain is about to lobotomize itself. Do you know how they decided to vaccinate against polio- they gace out vaccines to people for free (via sugar-cube for some). It's difficult to stimulate the state if no one can walk.

As for cost, that's always been the game with vaccines. When the US, UK, and some other folks find a better vaccine (one with fewer side-effects but better than the actual disease), then they sell it to someone else who either has nothing or has something crappier. Then those they sold it to, do the same when a newer vaccine is discovered. Fun.

The most infuriating this about these nonsensical conspiracy-theories is that they don't even make sense. Where's the effort? Just a waste of viable energy.

crazy shit ive found on the internet

D: Oh boy, this post giving me horrifying mid-2000-2010's-tumblr flashbacks. So many death-threats over fictitious accounts of fictitious characters.

Some ridiculous online communities involve the accompanying labels, but I don't think it does well to ignore folks who feed into one another's delusions. Indulging lunacy is much different than "feeding trolls."

The original help.com site was always busy, and I don't think for a moment there are fewer people needing help.

Not everything is meant to last. This site may die out and look like one of those abandoned saloons in the desert. There doesn't always have to be fireworks, surprises, nor sauce (I don't know. That seemed to fit). Allowing change to happen naturally and quietly is something to watch and learn from.

What the heck, looking back this response sounds deranged. I agree that adding, "Help me..." could be really helpful.
Also, maybe folks considering different areas to seek help, advice, or candor than they're used to posting.

My manager admitted to me yesterday that she looked at my social media and I donโ€™t know how I feel about it.

Logic isn't plentiful on this sphere of ours. And now there's an invisible dodecahedron of a town-square, where one can take their time on the can while barking through a megaphone. Others sit in a corner with blankets, write poetry, and look for bread-maker recipes.

What keeps you at Help-qa?

This is one of the few sources of thoughtfulness and support I had in middle and high school. A weirdly sane corner of the internet. And the sincerity makes a big difference.

I'm glad to hear things are starting to level-out. :) Hopefully, your more chatty coworkers can break their habit of entertaining themselves by pushing others buttons instead of focusing on work. Good luck!

Like board games?

Thank you, this is so neat! Makes me think back to the days of playing internet backgammon and chess on Windows, and some folks would just exit-out of the game if they knew they would lose. :)

Yeah, the game has a reputation stat for each user so that their rep goes down if they do stuff like that.

What is amazing for me though, is they have anbunch of popular modern games like tokaido and tzolkin

Oh, that's very beneficial. Some games, I expect to play with friends at some point, and this platform provides a place to take ones time to study the rules and practice beforehand. That way, your friends don't have to play professor before the game can begin. :)
