Ah I see we meet again, and have yet another thing in common 😅

Fuck ya go Wab

Well, talking about it helps you process it, so that makes a lot of sense imo. I think it’s extremely human to seek sympathy in situations like this as well.

I wish there were a ‘feel better’ button, but sometimes you just gotta feel your feelings and ask for support when you need it. Listen to some sad music, have a good cry if you’re able to so you can take advantage of the chemicals it releases.

Idk if this thought helps, I didn’t want you just screaming into the ether, because this is one hell of a burden to carry alone.

I understand the feeling of not knowing why you’re not sad when somebody is gone, and you know yourself better than I do (which is not at all), but, just a thought. I know for me, the reason i sometimes don’t feel sad when I lose a friend with addiction issues is because I had fully gone through the grieving process before they were actually gone.

Essentially, they were already gone in your mind.

Again, I don’t want to presume your feelings. And I don’t know the details of the situation, so I may be way off base here. I just wanted to offer my perspective.

All that said, I am so sorry you went through that, it is beyond traumatizing. If you’re able to, don’t spend the rest of the week alone, spend time with loved ones, or doing something you enjoy, or take rest if you need it. Losing a friend never gets easier, but we do get better at it over time.

My condolences.

Fair enough! Just making sure :)

I think the reason they corrected you is that usually when that phrase is used, it is referring to US “freedom of speech” where although the law protects you from being arrested or charged for your speech, you can still be ousted from a community or fired (consequences)

However, in Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms permits the government to enforce “reasonable” limited censoring of speech. So, in Canada, we do not have free speech in the same way because we can get arrested for hate speech.

So there is a distinction here. I’m happy to clarify if any of my language was confusing, let me know if this explanation makes sense.

Edit: also in Canada it is not called “freedom of speech”, it is called “freedom of expression”

Fuck I really wish I did not live in a place where the transit is so atrocious that having a personal vehicle is basically a requirement to exist.

Fuuuuuuck.

Oh…oh god…

(You are not wrong)

Me when I use a guillotine on all the richest people in the world

See I truly can’t tell whether this is the trans comm or the autism comm.

…or both?

Tsk tsk, everyone always forgets about the farts, what a shame

Upper

And honestly I don’t disagree. I don’t know what will happen, but yeah, I would be surprised if our democracy is not at least shaken by this.

You forgot to fart in their general direction

It’s a little more terrifying from 110km of distance haha (I laugh, but I am crying inside)

Try peanuts, they really like peanuts.

^ o_o ^

Shameful addiction is a phrase that perks my Lil ears up hahaha

Gonna stop at the store on the way home today and pick up Event Horizon - Dark Descent

It’s a graphic novel prequel to the film. It goes over what happened to the original crew. There’s also a sequel to the film coming out this year also in graphic novel format that I am excited for.

I am also still working through Echopraxia by Peter Watts, love it so far.

Update: got the last copy!!

Ok professor 🤭

I feel very…educated
