Funnily enough the "second amendment" crowd has been completely silent about all this shit. But people really have to use those stand your ground laws.
I saw that headline a few days ago. Was that all it took to make you give up on humanity? Trying to understand.
Understood. It’s a shame to lose you at the start of the fight, but get what you need to hang on and recover.
One strategy I’ve found helpful is taking little breaks from political news and spending time with those around you. It’s been a good antidote for the despair of the news cycle.
And if you need someone to talk to I’m here.
Sorry for delay. Had to take care of a few things offline.
That’s pretty huge. Everyone I’ve known who did that said it improved their life and mental health in lots of ways, and the harder their exit the more enthusiastic they were. Tried it myself back in 2012, and stuff probably wasn’t even as bad back then, but deleting google facebook twitter snap etc really did help me build better relationships and enjoy life more. I still text/chat people and use some forums like lemmy but never have to worry about an algorithm trying to fuck with my head lol
That is wonderful! While I don’t have kids, I know the feeling of helping young people discover things they’re good at and it’s deeply gratifying. Really cool that you’re there to practice with her too. Having a parent who’s there isn’t a given yet helps so much with basically everything.
From what I understand of baseball rules, that would mean like 8/10 over the plate or close enough for the hitter to attempt? 80% success sounds damn good for a new player. Is it possible she has some natural athleticism and/or hand-eye coordination?
Ditto re: softball knowledge; could only guess where to begin. Did see a few rounds of a softball game at a pub once and noticed the pitcher would deliberately bounce the ball, which I thought wasn’t a thing in regular baseball. Is this something pitchers in her league practice, like a type of pitch?
Sounds like you know where to seek respite!
I bet the summer weather will be welcomed by you and yours, yeah?
Our species is trash - it has nothing to do with the news cycle. There are just too many fucking stupid people that are being allowed to shit out legions of children.
I sincerely wish there was a virus that killed people who were "too dumb." It'd be much more peaceful...

The solution to ignorance is knowledge, not eugenics. Also get your ass into therapy before hate consumes you.
Most of the second amendment crowd have a "daddy" fetish and want to be ruled by a strongman figure. Mostly cuckish cowards
That and the 2a isn't necessary for resistance. Been done in places without it obviously.
And yes, seems most of them seem quite happy with the current situation. Funny that.
Yep. The common myth is that 2A is for defence against tyranny, but it's clearly about having people armed and trained to be ready to fight if they're needed against an invading nation. That's what the military was in the day: militias, not standing armies.
2A is broken and shouldn't apply to the modern day, but that doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter why we are allowed to have weapons, just that we are and we should defend against those trying to intrude on the rights of others.
