and the adhd goblins are also there in the background

Do they both come inside or do they also have ED from depression?

one has anxiety as well

Cutting out tumors is part of the healing process.

Guillotine and ice cream, a winning combination.

What do you think healing looks like, if not that? 😌

I take both

I've been thinking about it and Ilike stoning for this. Every person throwing a stone is deciding whether that person should suffer or die, and how much pain to inflict..

I dunno, I hear stories from my coworkers about how bad East Germany and other former Soviet states were in the 80s/90s. It depends a lot on where you were fortunate enough to grow up.

Also ignorance is bliss and as kids we didn't give a shit about politics. But in this instance things were 100% better no doubt.

Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.

Everything is a distraction from the feedback loops

Anti-intellectualism is causing both

Sometimes you can be a little self-centered. While climate change is overwhelming, a huge catastrophe for society and humanity’s future, how much will it directly affect you? Most of us will really only see more of the same: more severe and unstable weather, modified seasons, times where food and power are more expensive. You can handle that.

Sometimes it’s ok not to think too much about the statistics telling the bigger story or the news detailing the more extreme effects. As long as you know they exist

What can you do about the things that directly affect you? What can you do about the things in your control?

Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene

Same here. I've been saying for 25 years that the right wing Christian clowns were going to ruin this country and eventually the world. At the time my folks, family and friends all thought I was just some conspiracy nut.

We do, as a matter of fact, live in a society.

I don't have to worry about being drafted, I'm officially morally unqualified to serve in my nation's armed forces!

Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren't a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.

Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It's what you can do.

Like I said, I'm improving. It's the world falling apart around me that's making me feel it's a bit superfluous to be achieving mental stability at this point in life.

Healthy people want to live in peace, but also recognize when is the time to fight for that peace.

Si vis pacem...
