Well don’t get me wrong, I’m not hoping for that outcome. But I did predict it months ago - nuke Mexico to stop the cartels and migrants and then invade Canada. All built around bullshit, lies, and demonizing truly desperate people.

And there’s the pretext to invade Mexico, or maybe just nuke it.

I’m hurt that you have no Atari.

No, wait, I’m hurt that you said some are older than you and you have nothing from before I was 14 or so.

No, wait, I’m hurt because I’m old and my joints ache.

He goes back to Metropolis.

He owns The Daily Planet.

Damn, he beat the record by 42 seconds. That’s extremely impressive. I’d assumed it would be less then a ten second difference.

Considering he’s fucking with the leadership of the military, it’s definitely not going to go well.

Plus we have a supposed volunteer military. Do ya think they want to go attack Ukraine? No. No, I don’t think they do.

It is definitely not too late for that.

And give up half a trillion in ‘rare earths’. That’ll be a hard no, and Trump wants to end NATO anyway. What horseshit.

Appropriate username.

A buddy of mine was interviewing for a job and got it in part because he was a player in one of my games. They knew they could get along with him.

You’re right, it’s exclusive when it shouldn’t be.

I would expand the question. “Sci-fi had always inspired me, what clicks for you and why?”

On Reddit, the conversation was usually incredibly angry and rude.

Here, some people fall back into that habit, but it’s usually calmer and more thoughtful.

So that’s what I try to do, try to be encouraging and uplifting when I can.

I’ve always felt pride in the ideals of my nation, and shame from its actions.

But at least I still hold onto the ideals. It’s not nothing.

Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

We’ve all done it, but we didn’t mingle with each other afterwards.

Well you’re in the UK now, so you’re finding out how they interpret our weird trends. I’d love seeing that kind of stuff. Not necessarily tasting it maybe.

But I have made a pumpkin soup before. With some warm spices and not much sweetness, it could be really good.

I am not losing my will to fight.

I know the fight has only begun. And I know that, in the small chance that we win, we can create something better and more just.

It isn’t about believing we can prevail, but in knowing I’ll fight for as long as I can, because giving up isn’t an option.

You can still temporarily retreat, regroup, and practice self-care. In fact it’s gonna be essential. Take your time. We will have to be at this for a while.

I’m glad you’re with us. We need all the allies we have.

Examples? I’m really curious!

Here is an article discussing it.

I would personally think that Buddhist techniques like mindfulness and meditation would be helpful here.

I don’t know how I really achieved it, but one thing I do remember I did was altering my negative self-talk so I would be alarmed and notice I was doing it.

I basically changed “I should kill myself” to “I should kill (some other specific person)”, as the latter horrified me. Might be a similar technique.

We remember those moments with shame because we keep reliving them and reveling in the shame.

Remembering something taints the memory with your current mindset.

When those memories come up, choose a different response. Laugh at yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself.

Those memories will change in response when you stop the self-abuse. And it really does feel better too.
