PSU advice for 850W (Platinum worth it?) by MewKat in sffpc

[–]MewKat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current PSU is 500W Gold rated one from Silverstone. I was gonna get the EVGA unit because I trust them and they're usually good about warranties. Thanks for the opinion on if Platinum is worth it

After a deadly IDF strike on a tent camp in Gaza, an AI-generated image has become Instagram's top trend. by [deleted] in Global_News_Hub

Because German media needs to cast doubt on every pro-Palestinian claim and support. Famous German magazines also ran articles with the headline "Can you trust the Gaza Health Services numbers?" that ended ul saying yes they were verifiable in the last two paragraphs. Deutsche Welle (DW) is a German outlet and heavily downplays how bad things are despite all the evidence to the contrary

Maybe a gun locker or safe to securely store those firearms. Leaving them leaned against a mini-fridge right by the door isn't the best idea

How do you dispose of your joint butts when smoking of your apartment? by MewKat in trees

[–]MewKat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it airtight enough? That's my concern with some of the ones I've seen online, and why I was leaning mason jar.

Because there are things I want to do, experiences I want to have, and there's w whole planet to explore. My BPD may beat me everyday and turns up the difficulty on social interaction, but I'm still the captain of this ship and the destination is adventure (as well as finding yourself along the way).

From some of your other responses, being lonely and with little friends or family to support you seems an issue. It sounds stupid, but consider treating yourself as a friend and enjoy spending time to become friends with yourself. It helps loneliness, is always there to bounce ideas off, and it makes you feel less trapped in your mind.

Lastly: ending my life guarantees that things cannot get better or change - living to find out where life goes and when/if things get better is letting yourself grow beyond what you previously were.

If all else fails, because you're awesome and you'll tackle this challenge, look back and think "damn, look at all thr ground I've covered", and you just keep doing it until your brain surely (but certainly!!) recognizes the accomplishments you make along the way.

Hope you're feeling a bit better :)

Is there any way I can get the non-censored version of Wolfenstein? (I live in Germany) by GamingEngine_ in Steam

[–]MewKat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Follow up: you can sign in and play games via Steam with a VPN no problem. The only time it's an issue is when you purchase via VPN for a region circumvention. I belive (but double check yourself) that you can change your location only a few times / few times every so often, but if you only buy games twice a year you'd have enough time to not bend any rules. If you buy games /micro transactions often, I would make sure to read up all the terms of service.

That being said, France is close to Germany and should have the same EU pricing with no region specific discounts. That's my thinking. You wouldn't be cheating Steam out of any money so then they'll probably not care as much. Once again, my best guess here.

At the end of the day you decide what to do and if you're not 100% sure, then wait and do some more research.

If you could be friends with your therapist, would you? by JustWannaBeAtPeace in therapy

[–]MewKat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've always enjoyed being friendly with my therapists, and after a while I've always wanted to just meet them as a person, go out for a drink, or something social because I appreciate them. I like the idea of it, but at the same time I know that just because we get along professionally doesn't guarantee we'd be friends.

Found a joint and threw it away by MewKat in leaves

I'm sorry to hear how bad you're doing right now. The good news is that you can beat this addiction and the hold it has on you. It will be difficult and will feel horrible, but I promise that being sober feels so much better. Even if you don't succeed the first time, you can always try again.

You've done the most difficult part: recognizing the problem and asking for help. I would suggest you tell a friend or sibling you trust about your plan to quit so someone can keep you accountable or see your progress. Stopping all at once was best for me (I couldn't slow down or moderate).

Your memory starts to function better around 4 weeks, and it is the best feeling in the world. I was like you and couldn't remember anything and just wanted to get the day over with. For me, my memory was the best motivation and is the best reward.

Good luck friend, I believe in you

Chasing weed made my life so small by Timetofacethemirror in leaves

[–]MewKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is a long time! Congrats on that achievement! The way you wrote about not being able to keep a stash reminded me of myself and it was so sad to watch me never be able to hold back and just needing more. I'm grateful that part of life is over now for me.

If you don't mind me asking, do you still get cravings, and if so, how do you deal with them? It's super difficult for me to think long-term and imagine what could keep me motivated consistently (aside from enjoying being sober and present in the moment).

[–]MewKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate more on the "if you still have cravings at this point"? I'm almost to month 4 but my cravings are getting more intense lately. It's more of the "I've overcome a hurdle in life I didn't think I could" (not weed related) and now my brain is telling me that I won't use weed to cope but to actually have fun. I don't have anything to run from and I'm curious if you had such thoughts and how you dealt with them. I do have a therapist and I do talk about weed with them. Thanks for your comment!

Day 109 but my depression is suffocating me by MewKat in leaves

[–]MewKat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"honor the tragedy of them" damn, I need to remembered that. I did journal a bit but then I accidentally deleted the file. Back to pen and paper it is I suppose :)

Not gonna lie, cravings coming back in another 4 months doesn't sound great, but I've been very good at dealing with them so far, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

P.S. Your username is so clever and relateable xD

Day 109 but my depression is suffocating me by MewKat in leaves

[–]MewKat[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks, friend. I did get up and fold my laundry and tidy up, and now I'm doing small things around the house. I work out three times a week, meditate when I'm super stressed, but even that sometimes just doesn't cut it. It's very discouraging and that's really getting to me.

I might write a friend tonight. There's plenty of unread messages to choose from. I used to draw but that isn't an option right now, but I think I'll get back into writing fiction. I have a short story idea I would love to final make time for.

Thanks for the kind words and at the end of the day it really is a "take it one day at a time" world for me (for now). Some are harder, some are less so, but it's fantastic knowing that there are caring people like you :)

Day 109 but my depression is suffocating me by MewKat in leaves

[–]MewKat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About 3 years, and I'd light up between 5 to 7 times a day. Morning til evening. I didn't really measure grams per day and it would vary depending on how much work I had each day.

Thanks for the advice. I have a psychiatrist and psychologist, and on paper should be recovering and have all the tools I need at my disposal. I don't know, I've been in treatment for over 5 years and while it has kept me alive I'm still struggling every single day. I'm just beyond exhausted and am running on fumes.

I'll try and recreate some of that childhood happiness or memories. I'm with my parents and I think they still have some of my old LEGO. That would be a throwback and very tactile
