  • Lately when someone asks me if I’m okay, my response is something akin to, “I’ll neve be okay again, but I’m alive so I guess I’ll suffer through it.”

    My life has never been particularly bad, I’ve always had people around me that tell me they love me and care about me, but very rarely act that way. Throughout it all I’ve always found someone to lean on that actually shows some level of concern, but as I get older, those people have drifted away from me, physically and sentimentally.

    I’ve never felt more alone in life than I do now, even with a person or two that might actually care, I know they have their own lives that take precedent over me, and thus I will end up alone anyway.

    I can’t do anything to fix it, because factually, I can’t do anything right or commendable. Even when I’m doing things I’ve done flawlessly in the past, I find a way to screw up somehow and make my whole life worse, and my support network (what little there is) shrinks every day.

    So I’m stuck in place, crying myself to sleep every night, hoping to whatever people call ‘God,’ that I won’t wake up. Then I cry even harder because there are people and things that I care about more than myself, but which I will never be able to do anything for.

    I refuse to kill myself because of my sentimental debt to them, but if I can do nothing to help or honor them, then why shouldn’t I just end it all, and hope that fate treats them better than it has me? If I’m doing nothing right by being alive, what does it matter if I’m dead?

    I hate the world, and generally, but not in totality, I hate people. I hate my life and I hate myself to the very absolute core of my existence. I just want all the pain to end.




  • So is that actually what ADHD is like? When I was a kid (middle school or so), I got diagnosed with ADD, and I’m still not certain I know the differences between the two.

    I do however, know that I’ve frequently discribed my train of thought as multiple trains, on multiple tracks, all swapping places and directions at seemingly random intervals. I can’t ever follow just one train at at time (if any at all) to its destination.


  • Bruh it wasn’t just an accident. This was the presidential motorcade and secret service. Literally everybody in a 10-block radius knew who was there, and whether they had permission to be there.

    This person drove their car into the motorcade, and then kept going. Secret service’s job is to protect the president, and as far as anybody knew, this was someone after the president. They weren’t harassing some idiot that was driving drunk, they were pursuing and engaging a very real potential threat to the leader of the nation.

    I like how through these comments, you’ve called other users “stupid Americans” and you don’t even know anything about the event in question. Good job kid.


  • So do you never watch modern action movies then? Or even just the daily news? Wanting to see how something happened doesn’t mean you want it to happen again or at all, but knowing how it happened can prevent it from happening again.

    Americans are fucking stupid

    Yes, as a whole, we are, but in this situation, the only one who’s stupid, is the person who’s saying, “close your eyes and cover your ears and it doesn’t exist.”

    Edit: All these chucklechodes hyper-fixating on the example I used instead of what I was saying. Not wanting to see something on the principal of ‘it’s bad’ is the height of ignorance. Instead, you watch so you can learn from something. In this case, someone discouraging review of the incident, sets a tone of incompetent malpractice that is the exact reason why this world is the way it is.


  • His greatest political opponent just “went missing” (from the prison he was being held in) and “nobody knows where he is now.” Russians have been watching their population get ground into meat by what he originally called “a military exercise” that’s been going on over six times the time estimate that he set, and he’s actively making it so nobody can leave Russia without smuggling themselves out.

    He wouldn’t still hold office if he was playing fairly, so yes, he is that weak domestically. Get fucked, Vladolf Putler.




  • The optimist in me wants to say: “yeah, you go girl!”

    But the pessimist in me is saying: “cool, so if they’re so bad, who ARE you voting for?”

    Out of the options, the lesser of two evils is easier to fight against.

    Edit: I don’t actively support Biden. But between the guys who promise to either: A) have made it their purpose to impoverish and delegitimacize everyone but themselves, and the people that, B) are trying to do so without getting caught

    I’ll go for the people that don’t want to get caught. They’re at least minimizing the damage they do to the world. 🙄

    Extra edit for the dipshits that can’t read properly: I was saying that between the Bidens and the big orange blob and his fanatical cohorts, I’d rather have the Bidens. Y’all think I’m talking shit about the wrong person, and that reading comprehension (or lack thereof) is why I don’t actively support EITHER side because they’re BOTH full of fanatical retards.



  • I agree, but only with the amendment that links to reddit only be text posts and comment chains, or otherwise reddit-exclusive things such as /r/place.

    Images and links should bypass reddit altogether and just link to the first source link (ie, the news article or w/e), or be posted as a lemmy image post with a credit citation in the description.

    Nobody wants to have to click through 3 different pages to learn who’s winning what war or to see a picture of a cat.


  • I don’t know how much, if any of this, is due to mental illness.

    I’ve been on depression medication for 7-8yrs and my grandma and uncles will outright dismiss any negative feelings I express at any given time, with a hand wave while saying word-for-word, “just don’t be sad,” or, “there’s other people out there worse off.”

    Boy, I sure wish it was as simple as just not being that way. I don’t like being depressed all the time, and I would gladly just stop if that were possible, but other people’s suffering does not invalidate my own, in fact it directly contributes to my depression, as I believe that most of the suffering in the world could be minimized if more people weren’t so awful.

    Not to mention the things they directly do that cause my depression. I’m the only one in my immediate family that is more of an “indoor person” than I am an “outdoor person.” My entire life, when they would check on me in my room, drawing, reading, or especially playing video games, the first question they’d ask is, “wouldn’t you rather be outside playing?” No, if I would rather be doing that, I would be doing that.

    All of that was even before I grew up and realized that they’re effectively brainwashed political cult worshippers, but that’s a separate, off-topic issue.
