          I like that our usernames are similar but different, LOL.

          When I wrote to you earlier I was about to hit the sack. Just wanted to expand a little and tell you that, though at the beginning it truly does suck, it does get better eventually, and you yourself will be made better for it all. I’m gonna be a little more active over here, so if you need to chat you can send me a DM.

      Sorry to here that. Not going to tell you it won't suck, because it will absolutely suck, but one day not too long from now, you'll be waking up or hanging out with some friends and you'll realize that it's all going to be okay. Take some time to spend on whatever hobbies make you the happiest. Listen to music, whatever makes you feel like keeping going.

        When I was dealing with some heavy shit, my therapist would occasionally reminded me:

        "Someday you're going to look back on all of this as just a very weird time in your life"

        In my case it ended up being correct. Not to minimize your situation in the moment though, because healing and growth is a constant process that requires time and thoughtful attention to oneself.

      Comrade, do not lose hope. I implore you to reach out to friends and family, or send me a DM if you want someone to chat with.

      It gets better, Comrade.

      Damn, I'm sorry mate. You probably already know this but it always feels like the world coming crashing down but it doesn't last. Wishing you the best and make sure to look after yourself.

    For a long time I had avoided Citations Needed due to people ironically saying it was the pod for the sub or whatever. So I assumed it was liberal garbage like Pod Save America. But I listend to some of the episodes and it's actually good? Is that the bit?

        Also that a very serious and well researched pod would be the official pod for a shitpost subreddit.

          I think what they mean is more along the lines of "it's a bit because it's a better podcast"

      God fucking dammit. We are so irony poisoned that we can't even talk about the actually-good podcasts. Wish I could log off.

          Idk if its based on a specific quote (if anyone knows the specific one let me know), but the template is "In the communities I represent, people care less about [thing] and more about [thing that sounds like the first one but is conceptually different]"

          Im pretty sure it was popularized by the podcast

    If the rumors about armed nationwide pro-Trump protests being planned this week are true, I sincerely urge everyone here who might to absolutely not risk your life for the sake of Joe Biden

      My hot take on Stardew Valley is that you're landed gentry who owns the only food making source in the Valley. That's why everybody is so nice to you.

      Christman's discussions on the concept of anxiety lately has been more helpful to me than some of my therapy. Anxiety is taught to us by our system, to worry about things you can't control to keep you submissive to the system.

      Grillpill yourselves, folks.

          His Cushvlogs, which are both on spotify/soundcloud/podcast places and YouTube on the Chapo channel. One great recent comment on it was on one on the day of the capitol hill event and is quoted/linked in this post on the podcast comm.

    My first chapo memory is wading in over from LateStageCapitalism (it was a lot better then) and seeing all the memes about that Congress dude that got shot, and everyone saying they wanted to “play baseball” and the Reddit admins getting mad for promoting violence

    Good times lmao

      went to my grandmas house with my dad and we checked out some of the old guns they had. one of them was a shotgun thats probably like 120 years old. Eventually, we got on to talking about how our family was affected by the great depression. In short, we weren't affected at all because we already had jack shit. Later my dad asked me if i knew why the great depression had started. BOOM red pill time. i told him all about the inherent flaws in capitalism and the american empire

    This has been a wild week.

    I just convinced my Trump supporter parents that the USSR was on the right side of the Cold War, and the US deep state has always been the bad guys.

    Now, I'm getting them to read Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism

    Even tho I know local city subrxddits are complete cesspools I, against my better judgment, decided to look at mine anyways because I just moved to the area and wanted to see if there are any local orgs or anything interesting happening. I don't expect rxdditors to have any good recommendations for anything but fuck it, it was worth a shot.

    Saw a thread of someone organizing a 'cancel the rent' protest and the comments were just the worst, absolute reactionary shit. Lots of "as someone that owns rental units" and "get a job", "go live under a bridge if you don't wanna pay" and folks, I gotta tell you, I really hate this goddamned country.
