Change things up.

In my experience, being depressed takes less effort than not being depressed.

I live in a small city and I would spend most of my days working then going home to play games and watch Netflix while slowly becoming a hoarder living in garbage.

Then I started walking everywhere, to coffee shops, to music venues, etc. Every place that I walked to was an excuse to get out of the house and be active. Whenever I had those walks, I had time for a lot of self reflection and exposure to meaningful experiences and people that I would have never had if I stayed inside bingeing on Netflix. I still get bummed out at times, but I don't daydream about suicide anymore.

I'm not against immigration, but the most egregious offense here was having the replacement workers trained by current employees as a stipulation of their severance.

Here's the article that was posted here a little over half a year ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-...

It's nice to see some closure.

Looks as if you're correct. http://nypost.com/2009/07/10/biff-wham-pow/

There are a lot of people doing it. Look up the YouTube videos of the 'Racist Elmo' (Some paranoid man with mental issues), he also works costumes in Times Square among many others.
