Long walks are the best for pretty much any issue. Whenever I feel low, I just walk. I totally get Forest Gump.

I go out with my skateboard teacher next Saturday 😏.
It's certainly doable with the proper footwear. I'm double decked from head to toe though. Fucking meat popsicle walking in this weather.

I hope that I can get out with wheels by that time as well.
 
Not gonna lie, I accidentally make marriage counseling harder for my wife. I cannot help it. Like when the counselor pulls out the Bible and asks for my thoughts. They mean well, but my brain just refuses to cooperate.

Counselor: "In Luke 6:31, the Lord says, 'Do to others as you would have them do to you.' How do you feel this applies to your marriage?"

Me: "Respectfully? It means what we call being out of breath, fish call thirsty."

Absolute silence while my wife pretends to go fetch something off camera laughing her ass off.

Marriage counseling is so weird but can be hilarious. I remember when that one therapist told my husband "but you still think of her as a grown up. She's not. Think of her as a spoiled little kitten. Maybe then you understand her better" 🤣

That moment seems to have been very important to you because this is the second time you mentioned it to me. It seems that counselor was making a poorly executed attempt to elicit empathy, at least that's how I see it.

On the real? For some people, counseling is genuinely helpful and even necessary. But for people like me, who already manages fuck ups well without it, it feels less like help and more like harm. From my experience, our current consolers miss the mark entirely, which is why my marriage consoling feels performative or even like a racket to me, even though it's highly unlikely their intent.

I explicitly said I don't believe in their God, and somehow that translated to "please continue teaching scripture to me like it's their Gospel version of Reading Rainbow.

My parents did counseling, they took us kids along for some sessions too. They both sat there and agreed to do things to make changes. but they did nothing different when they got home. Even as a teenager I could smell it was bullshit.
 
I made it home with a personal-sized bottle. Feet kicked up, feeling better than a billionaire on a yacht surrounded by big booty bitches. Okay, maybe not that good… but definitely good.
 
My Christian wife called me from work and asked if I have any more Tequila. Either she plans to use my answer against me or she's having a rough day.

if you can both laugh at the counselor... feels like you're still in touch.

I've decided on Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG. I haven't went back to play the DLC. I'm sure it's really good now.
it was great when it came out (on my PC(TM)) and phantom liberty made it better, also a lot of QOL-improvements through time
