Welcome to the PhD, a program in which it looks like you should have tons of spare time but spring & summer break mean "great, I can really get some work done."

PhD for me is exercise in the morning and then the rest of the day staring at a screen, all hours of the day!

Jihadistic violence is spinning out of control in Mozambique. Nearly one third of the country's population has fled the violence.
Anyone over the age of 12 that the extremist don't like is either sliced in two with machetes or decapitated, or both.

The cycle has reared its ugly fucking face again and my latest hyperfixation has lost its appeal to my fickle eyeballs. Now I get to have an existential crisis as the clinical depression I use video games to escape comes back to fuck me until something new takes my interest, only for the cycle to repeat itself again one day. Until then I get to feel like a piece of shit accomplishing none of my hopes or dreams or goals incapable of improving myself. I want to draw. But I can't. I've never been good at drawing, and I've never been able to get past how demoralizing it is to have had the same childish artstyle since I was newborn despite so many years of doodling. I want to draw. I desperately want to draw. But I can't. And until I can, I get to continue having no sustainable outlet for my feelings, and I get to continue feeling like a useless piece of shit who can't do anything. I'd go into how this affects my actual real life, but there's only so much I can rant about on this topic before I just lie down and stare at the ceiling feeling no emotions except a distant sense of misery, and talking about how this is affecting everything other than the previously mentioned thing is a one stop shortcut to floor street. Jesus fucking christ. I should look into getting a different therapist.

You gotta pause before you think. And take your magnesium. And sleep at regular intervals and eat. And basically all the regular things and if that doesn't work, there be doctors.

That's odd. These forums have been pretty stable for me since forever. You sure you didn't accidentally misclick?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
