As much as it's hard to resist laughing at them for believing Trump, these people are in legitimate danger. They're getting no due process and are being sent wherever the fuck Trump wants to send them basically because they aren't white. And if we can't defend these people, regardless of whether or not the leopards ate their face, we will have nobody to defend us when it's our turn. It's not a matter of "if" but "when."

And on the flip side, if you still support this shit show of an administration after everything we have seen, I hold nothing but absolute disdain. I can kinda understand falling for the grift and I can forgive someone if they realize they fucked up, but we are way past the point of plausible deniability if you still think this is at all a good thing.

And I think it's just what it is to have ADHD and the like. Knowing you have it is not the same as accepting is a part of yourself and making changes that reflect that acceptance. Like, when I get hyper focused on a new hobby I always try to remind myself that if I don't actually want to commit I shouldn't go all out and spend a bunch of money and put in a bunch of effort for something that I won't want in 2 months. Because that's how you end up with a $400 3D printer that sits in the corner collecting dust. But something I do like is making music. Sure, I don't work on it literally all the time, but I keep it in the back of my mind as something I actually want to do and put effort into.

I'm not saying that dating is like a hyper-fixation or anything like that and I kinda lost the plot halfway through that comment, but the key takeaway I'd say is understanding and accepting yourself. Know what you want and what you are willing to go through to get there and don't expect results before you even make an effort. Dating is a game of trial and error and it's hard for even NTs to find what they are looking for. And basing what you want off of other people's experiences will only make it harder to find out what you want and what you are capable of.

I've been in a similar situation before and probably lived my entire twenties in the same mindset. I just turned 30 a few months ago and kinda went through the same existential crisis a couple years ago. I hate to be "that guy" but I think you are putting too many high expectations on it. At this point in my life I don't really try to date anymore because it always puts me in a similar mindset and I don't like it. But ever since I stopped trying to date and forcing myself into the situation of dating I have been much more content with life. I started saving the mental space for other things that I can control and know I can accomplish.

I don't know, I don't know your specific situation in all its aspects and I'm only speaking from a place of my own experiences. I understand how you feel, and I'm sorry I can't help. But if you want someone to talk to lemme know. And if it helps, I'd date the shit outta you. ;)

If you decide to cancel your subscription and delete your account, they give a warning when deleting that says you need to cancel your subscription SEPARATELY. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of leaving like I did.

I cannot wait to see how the Trump admin will spin this. Either that or they have a meltdown and immediately call it a rigged election. Bonus points if he tells Canadians to storm their capital.

Daddy hasn't told them what to say yet and these kinds of outlets don't know how to think for themselves anymore. And at this point it's pretty much all news outlets based out of the US don't know what to say without him.

I'm so tired of useless AI "features" plaguing every facet of the internet. I get that there are uses for this kinda stuff, but literally everything is not the answer. Especially since 70% of the AI features they have added to YouTube are either useless or inadequate for what they say they do. My favorite is the AI summary of the comment section saying some stupid shit like "the comments talk about the jokes in the video." Like... How is that helpful?

At this rate it almost seems like they are trying to stop people from even using YouTube with how much information and summaries they are trying to give you without ever interacting with the video itself.

They're always making progress on everything while nothing ever happens. I know fascists wanna waste all our time but they could at least pretend they've accomplished something.

Yeah, I guess that's a good point. In my brain that made more sense but now I realize it makes no sense at all.

I nooo if only we didn't defund all of our cybersecurity! Who could have seen this coming?!

In all honesty they are just mad it's better than what they have.

Oh yeah, they are literally everywhere. And a lot of them are impersonating people that haven't switched from Twitter yet to take advantage of it specifically.

I mean, if you go back and look at earlier satellite images there sure as hell aren't any piles or red stains across the ground. I'm not saying it's dead bodies, but it's not nothing either.
