I'm having some personal issues causing some severe depression and anxiety. I'd like to get past this time as fast as possible, and my days are dragging on. I can't sleep, which would be a good way to make time go fast. But I also can't just play video games, I don't have the motivation to play more than a few minutes and it also just makes me realize how alone I am with no friends or anyone I can connect with emotionally and I spiral into my anxiety and depression.

I can do stuff during the day, run, chores, etc. But as soon as I'm done, especially at night, I start freaking out and it seems like time stands still. Does anyone have any suggestions? Activities I can do that are mindless that will just kill time and get me through the night before I can just go to sleep?

I know this question is stupid but I'm looking for at least somewhat serious answers.

I'm struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don't use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It's already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I'm not included in any of that stuff.

Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?

Are newspapers really generating just-in-time AI generated articles based on random search engine searches? I searched DDG for "derpibooru top artists" and this was like the 4th search result.

This is a spam instance that reposts reddit content, but the worst part is it creates a new user for every reddit user, making it impossible to block.

Since we can't block instances at the user level yet, I request we defederate from this spam instance

See an example here https://alien.top/comment/2110314

You create a new user to repost that users content from reddit? This is absolutely ridiculous. You make it so we can't block your spam by blocking the bot user if you create a new user for every post.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there's less new yiff are around these days. Maybe it's because the brony world is winding down now that mlp gen 4 is over? Or maybe I'm just wrong?

Is there any place for finding yiff stories? Like e621 but erotica? Ideally with ratings and such. I remember there being a couple places decades ago, but wouldn't really know where to go now.

I was looking through some old songs from animated movies tonight. This one brought on some intense nostalgia. I know all dogs go to heaven 2 isn't the best movie, but I had the biggest crush on Sasha la Fleur. And I very vividly remember loving this song, but feeling embarrassed to admit it to anyone (don't think I ever did).

With shit like this though https://youtu.be/6wjR1ZciUBQ, how did everyone not turn out to be furries?
