I'm glad you're pursuing professional help and hope it is successful.

And this is the internet so tone is harder to pick up but that's not a jab or insult. I genuinely wish the best for you.

But yeah, it's important to celebrate victories great and small. Is everything fixed and we can all rest easy now? No. No there's still a lot of work that needs to be done.

But last night was a victory. Last night proved that there's still some fight in people. Give yourself permission to be at least slightly more hopeful in the future.

Yeah, I guess so. I try to take solace in things like that, and I sincerely hope things will get better in general. It's just that Trump and his buddies getting to solidify their power and exerting that, not just in the U.S., but on a global scale too, as well as the UN Climate Change Conference basically being an oil state circle jerk leaves me with the impression that humanity has pretty much committed itself to a downward spiral.

Not since November last year, no. I've been getting therapy for it for several months now, and I hope it'll help eventually. So far it's mostly been beating around the bush and feeling worse due to digging up old wounds.

Votes are still being counted. Looks like D66 and PVV are tied, with D66 having about 15,000 more votes.
Ultimately it will make no difference in the amount of seats, but whichever party has the most votes gets to take the lead in the formation of the new cabinet.

The leader of D66 (Rob Jetten) has stated that he considers a coalition with PvdA-GL (Green-Labor) to be the logical option, which, considering the election results would mean a coalition of D66, PvdA-GL, VVD (cons. libs) and CDA (christian dems.).

Honestly I'd be fine with that, especially since this is the first time in over 20 years that a progressive party is the largest.
Also, this is the very first time that D66 is the largest party. I'm interested to see where that might lead.

If they'd add one of the smaller parties they might even feel lucky and add one of the smaller parties to that group, they could even get a majority in the senate.

As for the more rightwing option (D66-VVD-CDA-JA21), it's not impossible, and at first glance the JA21 leader might seem like an ok non-populistic guy, but anyone who has had any political sentience for 10 years or more knows that guy is little more than an opportunist who hops from far-right party to far-right party, until he hits paydirt. And now he did. But I'm banking on D66 being able to see through that, and pick the more balanced coalition.

The only uncertainty I'm feeling right now is that VVD might not want to work with PvdA-GL because it's 'too leftwing', which would leave a coalition with JA21 as the next option.

Goshdarnit, why did it have to be at work!

If I were to encounter him anywhere else, I could just outrun him. But considering I'm in the security department, I actually do have to do things before I can run, like hit the evac alarm (that no one reacts to), make sure the emergency exits are clear (which I always do anyway), and call the police (who are pretty much powerless to stop him).

crap, seems like they're all following the same thing.

would be a miracle if they didn't do that.

don't need le pen or meloni type people (the last name i might've gotten wrong).

So far the nationalistic rightwing party (PVV) was clearly leading in the polls, but in the last few days, the social democrat green party (PvdA-GL) and the progressive liberal party (D66) have been narrowing the gap.

Ideally I'd like to see a progressive left cabinet (which realistically is only possible with the help of the christian democrats (CDA) at this point), but as long as it's not a rightwing party leading the next cabinet, I'll feel ok about it.

Not too great, but better than at the start of the year. I manage to keep myself healthy enough and keep up doing my job, but I pretty much lost all drive to any form of self-actualization (in terms of dating, career, home improvement, etc).
I've recently started going to psychological therapy (after long delays of setting that up). I guess the most realistic goal is that despite things looking bleak when it comes to the climate and geopolitics, it's still worth the effort to make something of my life.

Chances are I'll feel like shit on Thursday morning, when I see the Dutch election results showing how an alarming amount of people will have voted populistic rightwing parties.

Way I see it, China will make use of the opportunity to become top dog of the world, as Murrica seems absolutely determined to kick itself in the balls over and over and over again. In the long run, I'm guessing the U.S. will eventually end up being a second Russia, in the sense of being a country that thinks it's hot shit, but is only taken seriously by the rest of the world because they have enough nukes to make the northern hemisphere uninhabitable.

I've been working with Linux Mint in a Virtual Box for a while now and I've been backing up everything I want to keep.. I'm just waiting for a day that I actually have plenty of time to do it, which should be somewhere this month.

Deepfakes everywhere. What even is reality anymore?

This mostly, at least as long as humans still have control of it.

Considering digital technology, especially a (self-developing) AI develops at an exponential rate, the moment AI passes the same capability as a human brain will pass by like a train racing past a station.

After that, I honestly can't even guess what will happen.

Also good to know: the longer a brain goes without oxygen, the bigger chance of longterm damage. This is why administering oxygen (through mouth-to-mouth or mechanical ventilation) is a crucial part of CPR. Basically if the brain has no oxygen for 7 minutes or more, even if the body survives, it's likely that person will remain in a vegetative state.

I assume both Goku and Vegeta would still unlock SSJ2 in the timeskip to the Buu Saga, but Gohan probably doesn't since Chi-Chi makes him study, and is an absolute joke by the time l.

With Goku still being around, I figure Gohan probably would feel motivated to at least somewhat keep up his training. He'd be nowhere near Goku & Vegeta's level of course, but I do think it's conceivable that the difference in strength would be enough for him to defeat Dabura, thus preventing Vegeta ree'ing at Gohan for being an embarrassment, thus preventing Babidi from Majining Vegeta, thus preventing the power supply needed to release Buu.
Z-fighters stomp Babidi. Supreme Kai secures Buu cocoon. DBZ over.

New elections will likely take place in October. I haven't seen a poll since the collapse, but if the election turnout is anything like the most recent poll, it could result in either a balanced coalition between regular rightwing/conservative and regular leftwing/progressive, or a far-right coalition again. It kind of depends on whether voters' memories last until October.
