Without the void I wouldn't have anyone to talk to

Anyone else wondering what happened to all the good guys? Seems like they've all disappeared. Were there ever any good guys?

Stupid saying just popped into my head:

Change is inevitable, growth is optional, success is embracing both.

I think it's like watching the Star wars prequels if they had a baby with dumb and dumber. Oh and some orange paint.

Of course it was astroturfing. Only right wingers, conservatives, cheer the death of children. Right wing cops at uvalde arrested parents trying to save their children. I know that feels like a long time ago...

What people with actual human decency need to do is stop falling for the dumb bait.

Let me help you out Mina. You can take this advice to the bank for the next 50 years.

In the question of whether Dallas will do anything well? The answer is always no.

I might be a bit ahead of things but I think I have moved that from a concern to actively expected.

*Broadly gestures at everything*

It's bled into more than just printed and visual media as well. Imagine a subscription to keep using your air fryer. Ugh.

This will end in stories of parents having surprise mountains of debt because kiddo put 10000000 loot boxes on credit layaway.

Oof.

This is really well summarized and quite similar to myself. Although I tend to internalize as much as I can before I start venting into the atmosphere, so to speak, it still functionally works out in this way for me as well.

I remember Chauncey saying something like he wished he could play with these guys. I wonder if he didn't ask to get Jrue as the veteran guard to help our young fellas. I just worry scoot will still be stuck on 20 minutes a game. he needs to play more to develop.

And just to add, good community is very powerful. We can't lift ourselves alone but we lift each other together.

Cheers from someone with severe PTSD.
Every day is a winnable day. Not every day is won. And that's normal.

Right there with you ten. I've found there is no cure but that doesn't mean there aren't things that help. Good people in your life,good things to look forward to, and the realization that there are no extra points for suffering.

Also don't forget to give yourself the same grace you give others.

Why I'm a silver lining guy and not a glass half full guy? Because the glass is so rarely symmetrical but there is almost always a silver lining.

Some quotes from various things that helped me:

There is no shame in failure so long as the spirit remains unconquered!

We learn virtues through our failures not our successes.

Don't beat yourself up, all you gotta do is learn from it and you're ahead of the curve.

Oh, and chumbawumba
