Haha! That line is a special little tip only for me. I'm a hopeless EverQuest addict.

I struggle. I love social media. Lemmy adds to the depression because somehow every post is political and I get to see all the bad things the government is doing every day. I'm shutting it all down. If I need a social fix I can play an MMO lol

I believe being on Lemmy causes unhappiness as well. We need to stop using all forms of social media. Today is my birthday and as a birthday present to myself I'm uninstalling all social media on my phone by midnight. I'm just getting my last few fixes in before I do it 😹
