    You'll probably laugh, but I watch the 90's show, The Nanny, on repeat constantly. The show gave me such joy during some of the worst times of my life so I feel like it's a part of me now. Also, every few years my husband and I do a run-through of Desperate Housewives. Even though the last few seasons go off the rails a bit, I still think they're good fun. If anyone could give me some suggestions for another good, soapy dramedy, that'd be amazing.

    Edit: Oh man, I didn't even think about some of the British shows I watch on repeat. Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served?, Waiting for God are some of my absolute favorites that I watch pretty often.

    As someone with intense panic who has been fighting with meds for two decades, thanks for introducing me (and others) to Zazen! I’m excited to learn! I’ve never been able to quiet my mind and when I try to force it I end up failing and then beat myself up for it. Obviously the whole deal ends up harming me rather than helping me but the option of not judging myself for stray thoughts sounds really, really nice and peaceful. My psych always suggests learning grounding techniques so I’m excited to try this out.

    I think it's just mobile browsers. I can see them getting rid of old.reddit at some point though.

    I sadly have no hope for any positive changes. There was already a recent Reddit post where admins admitted to blocking some users from accessing their Reddit account via mobile browser, clearly to force them to use the official app. I wonder how long it'll take before they kill mobile browsing for everyone.

    This was me, 100%. I also realized I used it to deal with stress and occasional loneliness. I sadly used it to replace lot of my social interaction (husband and I moved and a lot of our friends are back home). Of course, none of that was real and I never made any actual friends using it. It just hit the same triggers in my brain or whatever to tell me yup, I've been with people just now.

  8. Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

    The only reason I even used Reddit in the last couple years was because of Apollo, given Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and inflammatory posts/comments. I kept telling my husband that I love using Apollo so much that it was sad it was only for Reddit. Hopefully Christian can take what he created and use it for a better community (like this one) at some point.

    I Love Lucy. Still one of my absolute favorite shows! Whenever I watch it I laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it.

    I’m so excited to see someone else mention Oceanhorn 2! Just received an email about it finally releasing on PC and consoles so can’t wait to pick it up later this year. Hope the wait is worth it....
