    I am hanging on by a thread as it is. Not being facetious or funny here in saying that I am not okay. Any more of this and I’m going to buckle.

    World needs to slow down. Stop having 8 major crises a year. Fuck. Can we tone it back to like… 5?

      i lol because it’s the only way i can find to keep myself sane through the insanity from the last 40+ years and it’s taught me to expect more because boomers and the silent generation (eg biden and trump) are still in control and will be for atleast another 35+ years so shit will continue to happen because they only give a rat’s ass about themselves and maybe their children/grandchildren.

      unless you’re one of those children/grandchildren, more shit will happen and expect to have to vote for those children/grandchildren into office or, at least, expect to call them boss at your next job; assuming you can still get a job.

      and don’t bother complaining about it; the last 40+ years have also taught me the hard way that doing so will only label you a malcontent and make it more difficult to find work in your future.

      learn how to fake a convincing smile to your bosses and find something to lol at for yourself to keep your head above the water.

        Yeah I’ve been doing that for a the last few years and still struggle with maintaining it and have given so much of my emotions up to keep that mask on that if I magically found a gun in my hand I might not think twice before it was in mouth.

        That inability to do anything but take the beatings with a smile has worn be down to a husk of a person.

      Just because history doesn’t remember it doesn’t mean it hasn’t always been this way. Just roll with the punches and adapt when it actually affects you.
