Anyone else here struggle with depression?

 

[Sazaju]

I like the airplane, but I hate the airport. Never helpful, even when you ask for it, but the first one to stab you when they have an interest to do it.

 

[Sparkingace]

Nope, I gave up, and never fly Delta if I get the chance, they have a shit reputation. I usually fly Frontier, because it's super cheap, usually big city to big city is between 45-75 or 100-200 dollars per flight, with little reservations. I pay way more than that and take longer if I drive, but I'm not keen on Flying in the US with the way shit is going. I literally mentioned being skittish about flying on here, and then picked up a Friend at the Airport in Denver/DIA just the other day, when we had yet another problem with a Plane catching fire. I flew to Toronto last month, around a week before that Delta Plane flipped. So, yep, paranoia kicking in lately.

Man good to know to avoid Delta, I can't blame you for having paranoia or anxiety after them leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

Anyone else here struggle with depression?

Yeah, I do, and I'm sure you'll find a lot of people here that do. Friends and family sometimes can't understand the struggle either due to them having not experienced it yet or just not knowing how to express to you that they want you to be ok. So they may say things that can ring hollow but may genuinely come from a place of love. The best I can tell you is that you are not alone and that having depression doesn't make you lesser than anyone. That no matter how hard things get, life always seems to find a way to get better if you hang on.

United it just as bad, to be honest. Look up what happened to David Dao on a flight back in 2017. He was flying to treat a Patient, and got his ass whooped and dragged out. I don't have problems like that, since they tend not to actively target frequent flyers, but I've had my share of straight up assholes, including people trying to change seats and getting pissy about it.

a few hours earlier than usual but here we are!

Spoiler: Kitty Question of the day!

if you could become anyone for a day, who would it be?

I'll probably be back Monday to find the answers

so send me headpats n cuddles!

Spoiler: And remember

Take care of yourself, you're worth it

Elon Musk before he bought Twitter/X? Though preferably myself from the past with my current knowledge. I've never really idolized people or imagined my life in their place.

I looked it up, damn that's crazy.. Nice to know who to avoid as I would like to travel more but haven't flown much. Thank you the the heads up.

I wonder if there will be people meta-gaming to try and be the first post on page 5000

I honestly believe that @Underlord goes so far as to set his clock to be here to obtain that bit of glory / dubious honor -- I think he got 3000 and 4000

I understand that flying is safer than driving -- but the difference is - it is me driving the car so if I don't make it - at least I know who to blame.

Nah man the correct answer is Elon Musk today. During that day withdraw an extremely large sum of money in cash. Hide it somewhere nobody would ever find it. Tomorrow, you are yourself again. Go get the cash you hid yesterday. Ez dub

I hope I can Get in on the 5000 rush to the first post, if I have the time and see there's only like 3 pages I'll probably stick around and wait.

I get your point about driving, if an asshole hits you in your car at least there could have been something you could have done, but in a plane, you're at the pilot's mercy, nothing you do matters and you don't even get too see what killed you.

Same bro, same

ust remembered that my fellow cat (Kaity) said that they'll look at the answers for yesterday's "kitty question of the day" on Monday, meaning that there probably won't be a question today... (at least I think so?)
Soooooo...
If you could relive ANY day in your life, which one would it be?

I have given this some more thought and decided that I would go back to any day in 2009, empty my entire savings and 401K and buy bitcoin.

Bitcoin had a price of zero when it was introduced in 2009. Its price jumped from its long-held level of $0.10 to $0.20 on Oct. 26, 2010. Before the year had closed out, it had reached $0.30. In 2011, it started growing past $1, reaching a peak of $29.60 on June 8, 2011; however, a sharp recession in cryptocurrency markets followed, and

price dropped, closing the year at about $5.

bitcoin closed at $106,749 on January 22, 2025. Sigh -- shoulda - woulda - coulda - didn't

I was wondering if anyone would catch me slipping that in there.

How is everyone doing this cold moring

Man, I don't know about this new theme, maybe I'll warm up to it later? the color contrast is a bit more than I'd like

Definitely preferred the old one, I like having navigation stuff at the top of my screen

The menu on the left takes up quite a bit of space. Hope we can hide it or minimize it to half its size since it takes up double the space it needs for the sake of readability

..so that's what this eyesore is?

I mean that literally. This shit hurts my eyes.

I hate it.

Whoever thought this shit was a good idea needs to lay off the LSD.
