i don't know why but im really depressed right now. maybe it's the winter here in michigan that's got me down ? i mean im happily married, we just had a baby. but on the down side ive been out of work for along time and it really sucks because i cannot find anything. i love x-mas and new years but for some reason im not as excited this year so far.

does anybody else get down and out in the winter months ? :(

I love the winter. The soft white snow just laying on the ground covering any imperfections on the ground. The occasional snowman, and the roar of a snowmobile. =]

Agreed. Winters here are long, and despite it getting so cold, I prefer it over summer. I find myself spending more time with friends indoors & outdoors, and the air feels cleaner.

But not right now, though. Right now it's this slush crap that comes before the actual snow, and my pants are wet. :crazy:

Yeah, I prefer the winter as well, but then again I'm an odd one like that and usually feel rather bummed in the heat of the summer. Hopefully everything will freeze stiff here soon, though. The roads are disgusting and my coat gets dirty if I even look at my car - just about any weather beats precipitation at 0?C.

Work gives a bit of meaning to life. Like you make a bigger difference in the world. When you don't work, you're more prone to sickness, depression, yadda ya...

When you don't work, you're bored. And usually you won't be happy when you're bored. Makes sense I guess.

So get out there and hunt down that job. Anything it better than nothing. It's healthy for you. :)

I don't really care for winter all that much cause it's no longer that special to me. I work full time and only get one day off for Christmas, not like when I was in school and I got a few weeks or a month. Winter now to me means that I get dripped on by cold water and snow when I work on cars.

Could be SAD?

It's quite common

might be that and lack of working getting me down too.

I would say you have SAD. YOur job situation along with the current ecinomical climate, does not help matters.

Just try to think possitive and keep yourself as busy as possible with job hunting and chores.

I suffer SAD and it gets worse because this time of year is very quiet at work, so i have more time to think, so i have to find things to keep myself occupied, otherwise i will become sad and unhappy for really, no good reason.

    • LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • hahahahah wow hahahah you sure got me there hahahahahah, you know that bad performance is always due to poor optimization by the developers, right???
    • "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
    • I dont mind the AI stuff the time its released its going to be super mature. My hope is the AI can optimise or at least work out if things could be and the devs prompted. This would help offset sloppy copy/paste and asset flips resulting is rushed bloated games.
    • its an online game, the better part of it, piracy is not the problem. If that was so, it wouldnt release 1 year after for PCs, the piracy will be there Its probably some contract with the console brands
