My partner is fully crashing out about the Epstein files. I don't know how to console them because... they're right? Like yeah, the world is ran by child abusing monsters and I don't know what to say to try to alleviate their pain. But at the same time, endlessly consuming content about it can't be good for their mental health. Anyone have any advice?
The Good: I've been eating a lot healthier recently. For the most part all of it is home-cooked meals with real ingredients. I've also gotten back into climbing as an exercise. It was something that I used to do all the time but covid killed the habit and my depression made me stay away for years. My sleep schedule is fantastic with me getting ample sleep each night and waking up feeling rested. And for the most part, I've completely stopped drinking energy drinks. I still drink an enormous amount of tea daily but it's probably better than the shit I was drinking multiple times a day before.
The Bad: I'm still drinking. It hasn't really progressed but I can all but guarantee that it's a problem. I've been self-isolating myself and alienating myself from some of my oldest friends. I feel like I don't have the mental energy to take care of my body and all of my daily responsibilities and also have a robust social life. And my work still actively makes me want to self-delete a lot of the time but I am still trapped within it for the time being.
I'm sure there's more for both but I can't really remember them at this point. Life is hard and I feel like I'm just barely able to scrape by.
I am being 100% sincere in my belief that right wingers are dramatically more into cuck porn than normal people. It's a real "the lady doth protest too much" moment imo
I know it would be slop but there is a part of me that wishes for a Star Wars AU where Anakin leaves the Jedi with Ashoka and more or less does a John Brown on the Hut worlds to stop slavery
There is a part of me that hates seeing stuff like this mainly because we only have so many chances before they segregate themselves completely. Too many lib protests where nothing happens and they'll catch on to the idea that they are mortal and vulnerable.
If this is an accurate portrayal of the video then either she's going all in on the dumbest shit imaginable or she's in the middle of a psychotic break
The literal logic behind this:
