yyyyyyep. And I can never figure out if I'm depressed or just sad about the state of things for valid reasons.

That's a valid reason to be depressed

Half my customers want me dead and the other half don't because they don't notice I'm queer 🙃 I enable them to buy video games that fund transphobic campaigns, toys that fund Israel, and drinks that fund death squads. I could quit my job and die, but the machine would keep turning, I'd just be its latest casualty.
