How would you advise a (depressed) person to learn to love themselves?
Thank you.

I would strongly advise getting professional help. A good psychologist or psychiatrist (as the case may need) can work wonders

How do i know if i have friends, or just talk to people that are too polite to ask me why i'm talking to them as if i was their friend?

If you've got an emergency, can you call them up in the middle of the night, and will they come?

Do I ask a girl on a date knowing we aren't really right for each other and it will likely go nowhere, wait for a girl I know is right even though I rarely meet new people, or ask a girl I don't know out and deal with it probably not working and all that awkwardness?

Since you rarely meet new people, live fully any chance you are offered

Ask the one you don't know and get to know her!
What makes you sure you and the first girl aren't right for each other? (Just curious)

How do I deal with seasonal depression? I'm generally a very upbeat person and content with my life, but whenever the darker seasons arrive I just feel so negative and don't have any energy or interest to do anything.

Take heart! That is a fairly common ailment, known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, and this part of this article may prove helpful to you as it did to someone else I know quite well.

I'm glad it was useful and I hope some of it helps. 😀 I learned some of this firsthand from watching others deal with it. They have found that it helps them to close the drapes before the sun sets during these transition months so they don't dwell on "the sun's going down so early!" I don't know if this would help or hurt you, however, as sunlight is sunlight.

You could also try some indoor gardening under grow lights - micro greens or starting some seedlings for the spring if you have a garden or even a terrace. I'm solar powered too and it this has activity has a way of persuading me that winter is ending and spring on the way even in January.

That's actually a really cool idea. I might have to think about it. I definitely have the space for it since all my plants died to some fungal growth recently.

If you set it up on one of those 4 or 5 tiered wire shelves like you can get from Amazon basics (very affordable), you can maximize your space usage and getting with the wheel option makes it even more flexible.

How do I discipline myself? I always do whatever I feel like doing and not what I'm supposed to be doing. I've been fighting with depression for the last 3 years and I've reached the conclusion that I should force myself a bit but whenever I force myself and things go wrong, I get sad so I never leave my comfort zone :<

If you're fighting with depression, you should seek real help - a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Combating depression is really difficult, far more so if you're doing it alone. Get help

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, since a woodchuck is actually a groundhog, I think you mean:
How many pounds in a groundhog's mound when a groundhog pounds hog mounds?
Either way, the answer is 42

Is it DRM-free or Steam edition? Or some other launcher, like Origin or Epic?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's Epic for the next 6 months, then it'll be on Steam. GOG has to wait until 2025

I have 1070 games on Steam. How can I monetize it?

Welp, my country is definitely populated by idiots. Should I start making plans to move somewhere else?
Comment has been collapsed.
depends. Can you take advantage of the fact that they're all idiots, or does it screw you over?
Comment has been collapsed.
It screws all of us over, half of the country voted again for the guys that stole and missmanaged the economy for 12 years straight. I thought we had gotten rid of them but no, they came back.

What do you do when you live in a municipality that's got a serious apartment shortage, particularly of the smaller, cheaper kind, and when they finally managed to start building some more, turning a field where they previous grew wheat or rapeseed some religious nutters decided that a saint (this is a protestant country, we don't care about saints) might maybe possibly but also possibly not, because nobody knows, once have walked on the ground where that field is now, and now one of the local parties, who are totally not racist by the way, are saying that they're totally not racist, but they don't want the new apartments there because we're ruining a Swedish cultural treasure (and it's totally not because immigrants might move in there. They even specifically denied that they had anything against the new apartments because immigrants might move in even before anyone asked) and we might not get these new much needed apartments because of this, which in turn will end up cost an already poor municipality millions as work has already begun?
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you have a good job, so you can afford to live there?
If yes - suck it up, buttercup.
If no - move to another municipality
Also, the more someone insists he/she/they is not a racist, the more I believe he/she/they is one.

In my experience, the people who call others racist are usually the racist ones. If fact, the ones running around with "racist" as their battlecry have made the rest of us hypersensitive about the whole thing. Frankly, people should be able to think however they think without someone forcing their beliefs on you. "Tolerance" goes both ways, and if you can't talk calmly and rationally about what you think, then you're probably not really thinking at all and therefore you are part of the problem and not the solution.
Back to the topic at hand, as far as government of any size goes, the best government is one that does those things only government can do and leaves the rest up to you. If you live in a place where the government is very heavy-handed (even with the best of intentions), then move if you can. Good luck.

there's two separate conversations, so let me tackle them one at a time.
Everybody's a little bit racist. some are more blatant than others, some don't even realize it themselves. Racism can manifest itself in many ways. Most of the time, people who get called racist are getting called racist for a reason, though there are people who are far too sensitive about matters. The "vocal minority", the ones who scream loudest, no matter what the topic, they're the ones ruining it for everyone else, because when those vocal idiots are done shouting, everyone is desensitized and can't take such comments seriously anymore.
I don't fully agree, but I don't disagree. A government's primary function is to do those things that either only a government can (or should) do, and, to a lesser extent, those things that only a government can do efficiently and properly. However, I believe it's also the government's responsibility to create a framework, or a set of 'neutral' rules in areas where not doing so would be problematic. The easy example there would be water rights in an area where there's a shortage.
It is a balancing act, because a government that's too heavy-handed can be just as problematic as a government that isn't involved enough... and well-intentioned people can argue for all eternity over where precisely to strike a balance

I need a job, but I feel that I have an almost complete lack of experience in almost every regard.
While I'm sure things will be fine once I'm actually out there doing something...
I've heard pretty much nothing but horror stories about working throughout my life.
Comment has been collapsed.
working sucks. That's why it's called "work" and not "fun"
Just try to get a job, any job, then work your way up. Nobody starts with experience.
And never stop looking for new opportunities - if you find another job that pays more, go for it.

Ask away, whatever concerns you have, and I'll do my best to give advice on whatever topic you may ask
Four rules:
1 - can't guarantee my advice will be any good
2 - can't even guarantee it'll be serious, but if it's a serious question, it'll probably get a serious response
3 - can't even guarantee I'll give an actual answer, might just post an image
4 - can't even guarantee I'll be the one to answer - someone else might beat me to it but please be respectful at all times
