Being stressed out by the world is unhealthy. Withdrawing from reality to avoid that stress is also unhealthy. The fuck am I supposed to do move to another planet? In this economy?

I suppose drugs? The doctors have a lot of those. Though those drugs make the Sacklers a loooot of money and ruin people's lives. So I suppose one can choose artisinal life-wrecking (by a guy named Kevyn who made the drugs himself at home in his trailer, or the industrailzed version. But that's the US I suppose, not being from there I just take a stroll in the woods and feel fine
I would love to unsubscribe from the economy
I'm getting close to unsubscribing from life. Fuck this stupid bullshit.
Gargoyles are water features. So unless you want to be installed at the end of a gutter and vomit water, I recommend becoming a grotesque instead.
Ok, wow, this just make me realize that "gargle" and "gargoyle" share the same "mouth/throat water" origin. Mind blown.
And the Spanish word for throat is garganta
One of my favorite fun facts is that the proper name for a Gothic grotesque that is purely decorative is hunky punk
Patient: "Uh, there are systemic reasons I can't avoid stress, doc."
Doctor: (Dusts off hands) "Well, my job is done here!"
Who wants to be decorative anyway?
Gollum with his bros.
Grotesque
Sadly. No one wants to hire a hermit to live in their garden these days.
Quits job and retires early
“You told me to avoid stress…”
Until your meager savings runs out and now the stress level is 100x what it was before
lol y'all have savings?
What do you think the pennies in the jar are for?
Entertainment budget. Every day I walk down to the tracks, retrieve the smushed penny from yesterday, admire it for a moment and set another one on the rails
I am too garsh darned broke to friggin' swear.
Hey, copper prices are going up, that's an investment!
To punish myself for swearing too much
not for long at this rate
Definitely not enough at this rate.
I love all these YouTube videos, health gurus and influencers encouraging me to sleep a full eight hours.
Y'all motherfuckers have never had children, have you?
Why would you have children if you wanted to sleep ever again?
Or worked hospitality. These fuckers have never done an AFD or a clopen
Love the word "clopen". It's a terrible word and it gets the point across perfectly.
You don't even get to finish "close" before you're already opening. There's no hyphen or breath time in-between.
It's all just mashed together, rushed, and stressful, just like the shift it describes.
Christ. My son has a cough, and he crawled up into our bed last night. Spent hours coughing directly into my ear, slapping me with flailing hands, and crying for milk (which he then rejected after it was offered).
I am in an absolute haze this morning.
That’s rough, buddy.

Same doctors also started to call teeth "cosmetic only" once they realized they could make a shitton of money from the organs people use to eat.
Just move to Stardew Valley bro.
She could try not doomscrolling and blasting herself with horrible news and opinions from crazy people on social media for a start
Reminder that every sizable company in the attention economy retains amongst its employees individuals who have the academic and professional background to fine tune their systems to make and keep a vice grip on the attention of it's users/victims, regardless of the negative effects it has on the micro level for an individual victim, or the macro level on society as a whole.
On top of that, most of us only get ~~meaningful~~ substantial social interaction at work, if that.
Just "quitting all social media" is tougher than it sounds because deep down humans want to interact with each other, but we often can't! And aside from algorithms, lots of stuff sucks right now, so that's what people are talking about. And that's before we bring algorithms into the equation.
The Internet used to be this wonderful place to reach out and meet other human beings from anywhere, and make friends, and share, and be connected to those other people without being stuck in 100°F heat and traffic or airlines. It was a digital "third place" for humanity to hang out.
And now the main 'net is an unholy, ravenous corporate homunculus that wears the skin of that third place.
We're still mostly physically isolated from the rest of our species unless it's an unpleasant obligation, but the "people" are harder to find amongst all the shapeshifting shills, ads, propagandists, and most of all, bots.
Lemmy has none of those algorithms, and a lot of the articles and posts bum me the heck out, badly, but I still feel the urge to visit because outside of work and my overworked family and busy friends on wacky schedules, I too, am isolated.
The only way for me to avoid stress would be suicide and even then there would probably be some cunt in the afterlife like "nah, nah, nah no rest yet, because you are here early you have to work off the remaining years you should have been alive and then we'll talk about interests, oh wait that's kinda like it is now...
Stress of dissappointing people who may care.
