I’m not the one you’re responding to, but I have a recent, relevant, non-biased video here that discusses the issue from a mental health standpoint.

The reality of life is that we will all die. Some will die quietly, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Some will die messily, painfully, alone and afraid. This is the reality we must all live in and accept.

It’s very possible that our species will die out. That is not an inherently bad or evil thing. Countless species have come and gone from Earth. Whether we destroy ourselves through war and ignorance, or we continue to thrive, doesn’t matter right now. What does matter is you.

You describe symptoms of depression and anxiety. You are sad and scared, and this is in part due to feeling powerless to fix the world. However, the only thing you have power over is yourself. Focus on helping yourself before you try to help the world. Try to find peace within yourself before seeking it in the world. The world is not, and has never been, a place of peace.

If you’d like practical advice, then I’d say stay away from weed and THC if it’s making you anxious. Keep away from alcohol as it will just exacerbate your depressed feelings. If you haven’t already, please discuss your feelings with a therapist and see a psychiatrist for mental health diagnoses and treatment. If either of these hasn’t worked for you before, I’d urge you to seek second opinions.

It’s always a day away, isn’t it?

Prison Management: “But parolees don’t perform legal slave labor and can’t be tortured on a daily basis!”

I don’t think I’ve met anyone of any political leaning who would like Biden to be president. People, myself included, still see him as practically perfect compared to Trump.

I’m not defending the Democrats (I’m independent and have no party loyalty). I’m just noting the outrageous state of American politics where puritanical conservatives are so terrified of change that they’d rather vote for a person who openly hates them and their way of life because he lies to them that he’ll maintain the status-quo.

Trump is trash. Biden is trash. Almost all people with any proximity to the presidency are party-loyal trash or wannabe dictators (I.e. Desantis). That said, I’d still rather vote for trash who isn’t openly quoting Hitler and insisting he’s completely above the law.

I have a hard time understanding any justification a Christian puritan would have for voting for Trump. The man embodies the excess of every sin that they obsess over, but I guess he’s the only politician who’s so open to lying to them about the things they most want.

“Grab-em-by-the-pussy” Conservatives vs. Puritan Conservatives is pretty funny to watch. However, I presume that both sides will vote for Trump because they have no sense of hypocrisy or irony.

Uh oh! We’ve moved from “slamming” to “spanking.” The reporters are getting kinky with their headlines now…

Does Nixon’s head in Futurama count?

We all know the only true amendment to these people is the 2nd.

I can’t believe he still took the delivery from you! Doesn’t he know that’s how the wokeness spreads?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie that came out earlier this year. It’s a fun kids movie with a lot of classic Nintendo nostalgia.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It’s a free, classic-style roguelike that has a massive amount of options. The game takes place in the near-future following an apocalyptic event that has turned most people into zombies. There’s also Lovecraftian horrors, Fallout-esque military installations guarded by robots, the ability to be a furry (like, with a full costume. Or you can get mutagens and transform yourself into an animal hybrid.), vehicle and structure building, and you can even milk cows. It’s updated daily if you want to play the latest test builds, or you can stay with the latest stable build. There are various overhaul mods and loads of single-feature mods. It’s one of my all-time favorite games, and I tend to go back to it every few months.

I don’t have much experience with JRPGs. What’s the gameplay like? Action or strategy, or something of a hybrid? Are they hard to get started with? I see Ys Nordic just released back in September. Would that be a good starting point, or would I be confused from missing prior games in the series?

Getting strong “I’m not a fascist! YOU’RE fascist!” vibes. Trump: Agenda of a dictator, plans of a somewhat articulate chimpanzee, and arguments of a five year old.

Well, there is, but Trump’s utopia is everyone else’s dystopia.

I’ve got it toooo!

“Must… make… exponential… profit… Line must go up!”

In my humble opinion: Crepes > French Toast > Pancakes > Waffles

I am simultaneously amused and horrified that these people need notes to remember to display emotion when talking about the topics that they’re supposed to care about. The conservative politicians are a whole pack of elite sociopaths battling for power while having no real objectives outside of making themselves even more powerful. They treat American politics like a game rather than a decision making process that will directly affect the lives of millions of people.
