If it applies to you, how did you engage with the instinct that drug-based treatment would make you not feel your real feelings?

That did happen to me, and I didn’t end up taking the medication thinking I’d try my luck treating it just with therapy and improving my health in other ways. While I found the therapy extremely helpful and well worth it, I really really regret not trying the medicine in hindsight. Because of life complications and my employment situation, I haven’t had the opportunity to try it since and can’t shake the feeling this would be much much easier to tackle with it if one of my main problems is a chemical imbalance. For context: mental health issues run on both sides of the family.

If I get good healthcare again, I’m immediately going to go back to get some proper care.

Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds

What's your alternative? Other countries have similar one-word names for their citizens, "Italians," "Japanese," "Mexicans", etc. United-Statesians? Then we might get the complaint that many other countries are made of smaller states too! Let's go for "citizens of the United States of America," that's nice and short. I get that Central/South America exists, but let us have the word, there's nothing else which sounds good.

Unit testing in Godot + Rust

I've only spent a little bit of time on godot-rust myself, but from what I hear you have to use some sort of third-party library to help out. I've heard gd-rehearse might be what you're looking for, but never got it working myself (though I didn't try very hard).

I've resorted to mostly using gdscript, and in rust just making my structures normal rust structs which I can unit test, just adding thin wrappers which use Gd<T> which call into my standard tested rust code. As long as what you're testing doesn't touch Gd<T> it seems to be testable in the normal way without crashing, using #[test]... but I admit it's not ideal

Edit: there's a godot-rust discord linked from their main docs page which is much more active than this place could be, you might get a better answer there

Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

I moved to Linux Mint last year, and while I expected it to be easier for me because I had prior exposure to linux in general, it's been smoother than I expected! I feel like I'm in charge of my machine again.

One frustration I had was with one or two programs which I wanted to run which have been just incompatible with any version of wine/proton I could try it with, I'll have to get a windows VM or something for these rare cases, but hope I won't have to use it in the future
