You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that’s me. Haven’t spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can’t bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

Yeah that’s me. I’m definitely not an incel, I’m self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There’s hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not “redpill nutjob” guys out there

I asked a friend who uses nobara and he says

Oh I know what they’re running into

They’re using the rpm which is copied from fedora upstream

Fedora ships with firefox by default and sets the home page to the fedoraproject site

Not sure what they’re doing to trigger it to revert though

Nobara moved to chromium as the stock browser in order to have compatibility with steamdeck plugins, anyways

but all you do is just install firefox manually and go home

I’m not sure if that user is using the firefox rpm or flatpak

I use the flatpak with no issues, so

¯\(ツ)/¯

tl;dr as a solution for them, try the flatpak of firefox and see if it does the same thing

flatpaks have better security anyways, because they’re sandboxxed away from being able to access the entire system

A small amount of inflation is healthy. You REALLY want to avoid deflation, because that means the value of your money is increasing. If people know their money will be worth more in the future, they won’t spend it, incentivized to save and sit on it. That means on average everyone spends less, slowing the economy down and starting into a recession/depression.

Gonna slap this with the good old “I am not an economist” disclaimer, juat what I remember from economics class in high school

I mean, even without the religious aspect, that might be kinda nice

“We caught you trying to kill yourself through some nasty means, here, have some state sponsored painless nitrogen to breathe”

I mean setting aside the horrible power it would give the gov, it’s a really funny image of someone being talked down from suicide by jumping into getting professional suicide help so they can do it easier
