Others have covered a lot, but one thing that have helped me through rough patches is to find something to do. If possible to occupy both body and mind, like exercise, yard work, hiking. Something positive with meaning in and of itself. Time is a friend of broken hearts, and making it pass quicker could just help.
I hope you find a way out and through, we all usually do as the survivors we are.
Great find, read through the entire thing and found it enlightening and scary, since we’re dealing with the rise of fascism again.
LSC on Reddit was quite active, so it might have name recognition. Thanks for the heads up!
You’re not the only one to miss my attempt at humor. I suspect I have used a format from Reddit that might be obscure in other parts of the online world. I make a statement and pretend like it’s a quote from a group or individual I actually disagree with. I am not advocating for police funding, I suggested that the image might elicit such a response from naive liberals.
I was joking. I thought it was super obvious, but here we are.
It’s sad to see how badly the police need more funding, their vehicles braking down en masse like that!

This is what revolutions are made of.
If you need to look for a measure of how you’re doing as a society, this surely is one of them.
No one is trying to shame someone out of finding a purpose, but the deafening propaganda machine has pumped us so full of denial that we need to make these simple points. I think things like this was taken as self evident 50 or so years ago, but today we have to fight to keep our sanity and hold on to what little dignity and hope we have left.
I assume those that just try to make jokes about this doesn’t have kids of their own or try to cover their own pain with sarcasm. The message is important and some people really need to hear it to save themselves from a lot of pain.
I have just shy of 3,500 hours played on Cities Skylines, but I couldn’t keep up with the torrent of DLC’s which made me stop playing it. When they started selling things as DLC’s that moders hade previously released for free I just lost hope, but the modding community was a huge part of why I kept playing as long as I did, and I really hope they are allowed to be a part of it this time around too. Although I fear everything is being commercialized and monetized up the wazoo these days, I will probably have to give it a go eventually.
I’m here as a father of a soon-to-be teenage trans girl. Even though no one in our family every questioned the reality of this journey, I feel the need to educate myself and learn from the stories that people kindly share in places like this.
I can also add that if anyone needs a kind word from a dad, I’m here for you.
It has been said that the British settlers that went to America arguably didn’t escape prosecution as much as they escaped to prosecute others freely.
