Explaination: That is a Pokemon named Zubat, Using an attack called Supersonic which has a 55% chance of confusing the defending Pokemon.

What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation...

Full honesty though as someone who was going through something/depression/purposelessness back in 2012 and found the world of DnD, Magic the Gathering and Tabletop games it can be dangerous to get into a hobby like DnD because you may end up liking that life over your actual one. Took me 4 years to get out and do something because everyone within that community also had lives they didn't want to get back to and kept enabling each other.

@QuietStorm Facebook is your best friend (only in this situation). Just search for Dungeons and Dragons/RPG + the area or city you live in. You could also search for Local Game Stores or Magic the Gathering stores near you as both MTG and DnD are owned by the same company and usually supported together.

For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣

Well what a fun rabbit hole you sent me into. Seriously though thanks, now I need to figure out the best way to make it show up on my samsung tv (no android, samsung os or whatever it runs) otherwise it wont be adopted by my girlfriend ...

Based off my 3 days of research into the topic, yes it is free but you're at the mercy of seeders and active torrents. Isp's also may not like you using the service as it's torrenting and your usage of the service is very visible.

The paid aspect of it comes from this service called Real Debrid which basically is a middle man that downloads all the stuff for you (or 99% of the time already has it downloaded) and then will send it to you via an encrypted connection at whatever max speed your internet is. It allows for smooth, 4K HDR, no buffering streams just like you'd get from Netflix and only costs 33$ a year. Real Debrid can also be used to download any torrent in existence at max speeds.

Changed my life. Literally a 4 click setup, never done anything easier. Just search for "Stremio, Torrentio and Real Debrid guide"

Going with a cheap Xiaomi Mi TV Gen 2 box. (Android TV) Costs about 40$ which with a year of Real Debrid still costs less than a Year of Netflix payments.

Totally fair, as far as I know the only country where you can get in trouble for pirating is the US.

If your country is anything like mine then you're perfectly fine not using a caching or middleman service. 🙏🏻

Saw a comment by the apollo dev advertising Lemme world on reddit. made the jump then.

Recommend researching what the Fediverse is. The whole concept is that there's no single entity controlling the service. Literally impossible-ish.

Genuinely made me start looking at possible jobs in Iceland or New Zealand ...

Currently use TvTime. Tracks my shows with a calendar.

Edit: Unless you mean a TvTracker with download features in which case TvTime is useless. I just use it alongside 1337x or Fmovies.to/Fmovies.ps whenever I'm too lazy to download something.

Originally on Jerboa, now on Liftoff. I much prefer Liftoff but I'm patiently waiting for devs to establish themselves on the platform. A few weeks is very little time to create a top tier AAA app ':)

Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps?

Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation....

Why do I feel like Spez would be reading your comment and taking notes? 100% sounds like something he'd do to appease the investors ...

@vatlark Have you tried reaching out to the mods of the reddit showerthoughts and seeing if they're interested in resuming operations over here? Based on the community picture I assumed this and the reddit variant were the same.

Idk why companies don't implement Long paternity leaves followed by an optional switch to a WFH role where they can spend more time with their family. It'd boost morale and increase quality of work ...
