Re:How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To on Sunday February 23, 2014 @06:08AM (#7285564)
I have suffered from depression for years and it is destroying my life. I read articles like this and think that what they're saying sounds like a great idea, and then proceed to completely ignore it.

I have tried multiple types of antidepressants and found the side effects unbearable. They didn't make me feel happy, they made me feel nothing.

I have tried CBT and regular therapy, both of which have failed because I was unable to motivate myself to actually go.

Maybe it is just a matter of changing how I think, but it's hard to change how you think when you don't even feel in control of your own thoughts. No matter how hard I try, I always fall back into the same patterns.

I don't why I'm writing this here. I don't know what else to do.

The fact that man is short for manual is irrelevant, although I also dislike the term "bro".

In my experience Safari is generally much smoother and uses less power than Chrome on OSX. Chrome frequently makes my MBP uncomfortably hot on websites that Safari doesn't break a sweat on (like Flash videos on Youtube, although Chrome's built-in Flash could be causing problems). It's unfortunate.

Another thing that annoys me is people citing articles using numbered references beginning with 0 ([0][1]...)

I can maybe understand the point of using numbered references like this (although honestly it barely affects readability having links inline) but you're not a computer. It just comes across as pretentious when you start counting at 0 as though you're referencing an array of references or something. We get that you Know Computers.

You're an asshole.
I run the risk of proving your point but oh well.

"But we don't behave that way" – who is "we"?

There's only so long you can dismiss these people as mere "intruders" and declare that No True HNer would behave that way.

This is not a cocktail party. There is no guest list. In sufficient numbers, the "intruders" become the community.

In absolute terms or per capita? They are (by quite a wide margin) the most populous countries in the world.

Because for some people happiness is about more than cash flow.
