    I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re depressed because you’re terminally online, but no I’m happy with reasonable frequency. Capitalism doesn’t mean everything’s bad all the time. Joy is an act of resistance.

        And where you’re not easy prey for cisthumbs. I like exercise and trucks will just stop illegally in the middle of the street… with their driver’s dead eyeing you. Once a truck just followed me and my gf, like driving right behind us for blocks until we lost him. And I’ve been attacked enough to know where that goes, so we bought treadmills. Yay

        E: and we’re both immunocompromised so gyms were out the second covid hit

        I get that, I’m sorry. Still, it’s possible to be happy and being online too much doesn’t help, even if third spaces are dead etc. It’s not ideal, but one can exercise and meditate for free on your own, even if capitalism has greatly handicapped you. I’m trying not to victim blame, just hoping to do some people some good (pretty sure op doesn’t have an autoimmune disease).
