Perhaps this is just something that's been warped by social media. And I'm still thinking of the previous world, where you didn't see a thousand or more people expressing a thing, you maybe saw 1. So it wasn't grating. Maybe everyone would get shit on today. For feeling badly about a bad thing.

If I saw a Russian person say, I wish we weren't invading Ukraine.... I'd say, oh look a Russian person with empathy. Good. Moving on.

I guess you'd think they were just trying to ease their own guilt and get mad. But that's just not the reaction I've generally seen from the world in these cases.

Well, flooding communities wasn't what anyone said so far, I'll concede that's different

But again, I can think of plenty of cases where people might express similar feelings and not be met with 'you're only saying that for your own guilt'. I think that's a ridiculous statement.

I agree actions always speak louder than words. That doesn't usually mean it's worth getting mad at someone for words meant to express empathy, but in certain cases for certain people it does.

Sometimes you go months between interacting with someone whose LIFE is playing 1 game, complaining about it endlessly, but also tbagging you in ranked in a random set when they're 100 pts Mr higher than you

The levels of depression and self loathing I can only imagine, and I've been a heroin addict

People really don't give a shit about their kids huh

I was going to ask if you basically just meant 'shut up or do something' but tbh I was hoping that wasn't the case. But I'm happy to at least grasp your perspective a bit better.

I'm sure you deserve kindness too and either way I appreciate getting to the point of understanding. Be well.

I understand more what you mean but I think this makes an even greater point that it's not something any given citizen could start up on their own. I think many would be willing to get hurt or die for a cause. But rushing out into a fight as an individual doesn't accomplish that.

Sorry live

You spoke as if you love here before and I just want to know why you're kinder to yourself than to every other non trump voter.

Well I don't think it's very fair to say I'm whining either. We both agree I'm just asking you to give everyone else the same understanding you give yourself. You and I are allies, stuff like this shouldn't separate us. We agree that fighting back would be good. But it's not as simple as believing

From civilians who are then trained by an army. Which the US had, they had this pretty famous general iirc... Anyway, we wouldn't have a general to train the civilians, that's the difference I was drawing. But I appreciate the sarcasm, it'll bring us closer in the future.

Every army is from civilians

I'm sorry, I'm whining and you're not? Lmao. Okay.

If you wanna keep the details of what you're doing do a dm, but I'd love to join up since to speak the way you are you must be actively fighting the current regime. I'll join you in a heartbeat.

Its a simple concept, not so simple in practice. Or else you would be doing it right? I mean... Are you?

The already organized us army fighting the British army is not the same as creating an army from civilians to battle the entirety of the modern US military presence plus local etc.

I mean even calling the revolutionary war simple seems bizarre.

I shouldn't say it's silliness. It's a fucking terrifying insane time and I don't blame anyone for being upset. I cannot pretend to know what anyone else is going thru.

And this supposed to debunk the narrative that they should be defunded?

Effective action to remove the regime

OH yeah like all those past American regimes that citizens have removed... Like all those times everywhere citizens have simply overthrown the regime in power. Simple!

Yes and if we start a war I'd understand that I might be bombed. However I'd not be worried about being tried for war crimes due to trumps decisions.

And told you deserve it because you do it too.

It's all silliness. 'the apologies accomplish nothing!!!'... Okay? Does complaining about them accomplish something? Or are we allowed to sometimes express things that don't directly accomplish something?

Why do you think that?

No voters of any kind were at Nuremberg. What do you mean

And shitting on those people who feel bad accomplishes what exactly? Since everything needs to serve a greater purpose apparently.

If you go out and do anything, you'll end up shot. There are coordinated things we can do and coordinated things we can't do. There's change we can affect and change we can't affect.

Blaming people for feeling bad seems as useless as the apologies.

I mean I actually try very hard to make a point that, for example, there's good people everywhere and innocent people everywhere

However that's extremely easy to do when you're safe and warm at home. So I'm not asking anyone to return that to us. But no, I don't do that to other countries.

Poe1 community making me like the fgc more simply by defending a creator using an Ai thumbnail.

I already knew I mostly disliked the poe community, at least the reddit side, but damn that was an ugly thing to find. I'm really not used to seeing anyone defend Ai art tbh. Yuck.

If you just change it to the fact that you like those games best there's no need to shake it you know. You're allowed to have any preference you want! You can even have a preference you don't want!

Had this idiotic thought that maybe the language we use matters

maybe calling every hope, desire, or even idle guess that is remotely positive 'hopium/copium' isn't great. We're allowed to want things. Or even, gosh, hope for them.

I know no on cares. And this stems from me hating 'cope' usage

My new life cycle is poe2-poe1-Pd2-poe2 etc. And I love it. Idk if Pd2 resets enough to keep it consistent but I'll play it whenever it refreshes. Idk if I'll play vanilla D2 again but... Ya know, probably. I'm pathetic.

I've yapped about and thought about streaming a lot. But this December I've got like 10 days off to start the month and then my wife is visiting her parents in the latter half. It feels like it might be a good time to form a new habit around the games I'm playing anyway.
