I'm not sure. I'd like to keep myself out of harm's way, especially since COVID-19 will still be a problem, but if the more violent contingent of his supporters act out or other right-wing extremists looking to capitalize on the situation pull some shit, I'll probably be compelled to act.

There was a lot of crossover with NEETdom and poor mental health during that time period. I'm complex.

I'm sorry. I had depression for a number of years myself, but my homelife wasn't really all that bad. Living on your own now, I'd hope? Or at least, away from that situation?

Yeah. I turned 30 and finally got my shit worked out lmao. >_>

Not anymore. Sober for a bit over a year now. However, there was a point between 21 and 25 where I'd get a shitty job for however long it took to get my first and only paycheck, hit up the beer store, and fuck off until the money ran out, stew in depression for a week or two, then do it again. Good bad times tbh.

No. I grew up always needing important things and "needing" a lot of dumb shit but only getting the latter. I got a lot of the things I "needed" - like toys and games - especially relative to how poor we were. It was just shit, shit that usually didn't last long. If it did, it never functioned the way I wanted to with regards to all the hurt and strife in my life.

I've spent the last few years getting rid of my possessions and buying less pointless shit. I had some valuable stuff that I sold for relatively cheap because the reaction the buyers had was way more meaningful than junk sitting in a closet for years.

I just enjoy living a meager life tbh, not worry about anything that I don't need to. Ideally, I'd live off-grid, growing my own food, building what I need, but that's not realistic at the moment and probably not any time soon.

the series is a sequel to the original script of the buffy movie

originally the end of the movie would have had buffy burn down the gym full of vampires

The Origin comic combines the script for the original movie with the TV show and Whedon says it's canon. It's pretty decent.

Oof. Not sure what your situation is/was, but that's a pretty big positive.

Poverty, abuse, neglect, and other things leading to depression and anxiety at an early age. I waffled between thinking I was going to die young from something I couldn't control and being absolutely certain I'd kill myself before long. I wouldn't say I have "good" mental health at this point but I'm way better these days and don't have those problems, so it's pretty weird and a bit unbelievable that I lived my life like that for so long smh.

neighbors from hell always have a bad ending

I didn't mean I was a bad neighbor, though I probably annoyed mine a few times. I just meant I drank heavily/partied quite a bit well past that age and definitely did all kinds of dumb shit to bother/disrespect hosts, strangers in public, and pretty much anyone around me wherever I went. I try to have patience because I know there were times I could've faced some harsh consequences but got some leniency. I just generally try to put that back out there.

But yeah, the pandemic is changing things.

I got a house next to me of a bunch of early -mid 20 somethings always doing this lately. I've moved to the front yard to sit outside for the time being.

P.s. the homeowner is young but nice,his friends just pull up out of the blue.

Yeah, that's what's happening here, too, minus the niceness. There's one person in their 40s who I think is an aunt or maybe older family friend who doesn't stay there very much and I think may be helping them with rent or providing a front or something, then two siblings, and two roommates who are all in their late teens and early 20s.

They moved in late last year and honestly, they've been neighbors from hell lol. Always making tons of noise late into the night (especially with some car that has a sound system), leaving trash everywhere, guests blocking my driveway, and other shit. I let it go because I did that shit not even ten years ago. I remember being that age and I guess I'm fighting becoming an old fart, so I don't want to be like, "hey you kids, cut that shit out!"

Kinda gotta draw a line at spreading a deadly virus when we're getting hit hardest in a pandemic though.

My neighbors have large groups of people over several times a week, no masks, no distancing, no concern for anything in the world. I won't even go outside if they're in the back because they're usually close to the fence and I don't want to risk whatever chance there is that the wind could blow some shit my way.

It depends on the parameters and goals of said marriage.

I don't think highly of the notion of a monogamous marriage wherein each partner tries to satisfy every need of the other until death do they part. It's great on paper and if you can make it work, more power to you, but I think that's a recipe for failure.

One of the most striking aspects of being adult is coming to realize how many people I know tried to go for the long haul and suffered through crappy relationships for bad reasons. Too many people try to force square pegs into round holes because they think that's the way it's "supposed" to be because they've been conditioned to believe this very stodgy and stifling idea of what the ideal relationship is. Not even considering the more serious problems of abuse and infidelity or a hail mary baby to keep things together, that situation would be hell to suffer through.

At least one of isn't happy, it's hard work, there's no end in sight because I boldly declared to the world my intention to stick this out to the bitter end like I was Nostradamus and now I'm stuck? Fuck all of every last bit of that.

I would never engage in that kind of marriage, but I am more open-minded than I used to be about other arrangements. A 3-5 year commitment to strengthen financial standing is something I would consider with the right person. I know lots of people who weren't in love and didn't really even have any serious attraction but still got married for insurance, to pool resources or clean up their credit, have a secure place to live, etc. Both people knew what the relationship was about and used marriage to their benefit, and I think that's beautiful.

I'm also open to a kind of situation where feelings are involved, but without the whole "1+1 = 4ever in love" type stuff. I would only feel compelled to marry someone who made me confident we don't need to be married for our relationship to last and endure. Someone who could just enjoy the ride for however long it lasted instead of cling to some foolhardy plan to make it last indefinitely is imo an ideal candidate for a marriage partner.

In not even two years, he went from a somewhat left-leaning (American left) normal guy to a science denying boogaloo boi who unironically posts fash memes. He actually just posted some COVID-19 denial bullshit.

I don't know how many of you know actual white supremacists but they're as opportunistic as they are paranoid, always desperately looking to every little thing to reaffirm their views. They'll take the smallest thing and blow it up. If they can't find anything, they'll take something and twist and distort it until they're content with the "proof" they found. A prominent black man talking about "black supremacy" like it's at all a possibility of happening - especially to the extent that white supremacy has been implemented in USA - is just so incredibly damaging to any pursuit of true equality that I don't think it can be overstated.

Of course, to those of you who are not racist, it's easy to focus on the positive nature of what he's saying, and I agree that it's a nice sentiment. We shouldn't let anyone become a tyrannical force over another while trying to achieve equality. That's not at all what white supremacists and other types of right-wing bigots take from this message. Not even close.

White supremacists already have all kinds of fears about sharing society with BIPOC. "Black supremacy" is a terrifying prospect to them because they already believe whites are under siege, starting at various points between 1865 and 2008, depending on who you're asking. There's a near universal perception among them that not only is racism against black people not a problem currently (if it ever was to begin with) it's actually the whites who are being persecuted.

They think that their women and children, homes, money, jobs, dignity, and legacy are on the verge of being taken from them by BIPOC. And they think black people are put on a pedestal, given special treatment, given extra attention - all at the expense of the whites. It's easy to look at things like history or who overwhelmingly possesses the political, social, and financial power in America and see how utterly wrong this is but they're incapable of recognizing this. The persecution complex inherent to white supremacy will not let them see this.

A prominent black man - especially one who got the "woke" credibility for being a male who spoke out against sexual assault in evil, Satanic, degenerate Hollywood - entertaining "black supremacy" is a gold mine to these idiots. It reaffirms everything they've ever believed in the nastiest way possible. Anything positive about that message is left in the dust of a whirlwind of anti-equality destruction because they only see a black man confirming their greatest fears, that "black supremacy" is a real thing and society needs to be vigilant about it, even though white supremacy is and always has been (and will seemingly continue to be for the foreseeable future) the vastly more credible and severe threat to the world.

And that's where things get scary. They're already vigilant about this bogeyman and several others. The right has a body count and white supremacists don't need to be emboldened in any fashion, even if by accident because of good intentions and feel good sentiment that has little, if any, real world application when it comes to America's race problem.

It's the bread products and processed sugars that are being avoided in that case. Most animal products are not carb heavy and carbs are what creates fat.

Makes me wonder why the majority of vegans whom I know are fat.

Potato lovers.

I was 365lb+ when I went vegan and switched to a high carb, whole food, plant-based diet. I started rigorously counting calories a little over a year ago. I've lost 140lbs since 1/1/18 with no regain. I eat starchy foods with just about every meal. I eat potatoes almost every day. Excess calories create fat and a lot of people have no problem finding those. Vegans are no different, especially now that so many junk food and fast food brands are providing an abundance of options unlike ever before.
