But do you really love lamp or are you just naming things?

Ultimately, you don't battle it alone. You are here. You read this. This is you not being alone. And just like this little exchange, there are other possibilities out there. You just have to try and reach out. Even if it seems hopeless to you. I read a lot of useful stuff in here. Sometimes that alone helps. Sometimes the tiniest steps are valuable. Just keep on. We can overcome.

I feel HONK

I always had a cat and it was never an issue.

Trick question. We live on the ISS, now float over here mister, I have a serious bone to pick with you.

Maybe to commiserate. It's liberating to feel like you're not alone with a certain problem, especially when you seem to be in real life. As long as ppl. dont drift off into excessive groupthink or push each other further into enragement it can be healthy to vent from time to time. Sometimes u just need to rant a little.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to add something substantial to the political discussion. I think designing and discussing actual plans to improve peoples situation in a constructive manner is what's needed.

The greatest danger lies in simplification of multi-faceted political issues and appealing to strong emotions such as fear and anger.

It'd be nice to see more constructive, balanced, respectful dialogue.

That is a very good explanation right there. Very comprehensive, emphatic.

I would love to hear a design, a plan from the progressive left to solve these problems, a narrative that somehow manages to adress these fears these issues and offer another way for "disgruntled right wing conservative Christian average joe" and make left ideas more attractive and understandable to them. Because in the end, a progressive left has better solutions to problems than the right. Unfortunately it seems as though there is no such thing in the U.S.

The Stand by Steven King And Illuminati by Dan Brown

Were two of my favorites. Bonkers conspiracy stuff nowadays but I enjoyed it as fiction. xD

The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov Was another amazing one.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself, you piece of shit.

Hier irgendwo hab ich doch Schnapspralinen liegen sehn...
