Good luck with the novel, writing is another great outlet, take care.

I channel that into anger, rather than hopelessness, but I absolutely get you, it’s hard being unable to stop things from happening that you see a thousand miles away, and being fix some of the easiest stuff to fix. Now with the political climate with one side of most governments leaning very fascist, and then what’s going on economically, everything is harder and more frustrating, much more expensive. But that’s why I choose anger over hopelessness, because fuck these assholes, I’m not going to let these bastards grind us down, and you shouldn’t either.

My advice would be to try to force yourself to live in the moment more, stay informed, but find other outlets for your life, even if it’s just trying some pot and hallucinogenics, and channel your hopelessness into something positive, something that helps, even if it’s just something that helps you, also music, listening to it, or playing it if you can, I can’t, but music is always very therapeutic. Books or audiobooks work pretty well too.

Good luck, I really hope you find a way to overcome your sense of hopelessness, I know it’s not easy, but life never is.

Watching the actual Daily Show interview would probably be more helpful than this article was:

https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM?si=yKBpKqFXKgYxvyDL

It was a really good interview, Lina Khan was essentially a guest that Apple TV had blacklisted from Jon’s now cancelled show, they break down some of the ways the Tech Robber Barons have been undermining regulations and laws, while making boatloads of money and manipulating the stock market. They then go into some of Jon’s issues with Apple, his former employer, and why they had Lina Khan blacklisted as a guest on Jon’s now cancelled show, and after hearing her speak I can see why, she’s smart, and knows the topic well, and has some good ideas on how to fix some of the issues we have with regulating and controlling not just tech, but all out of control businesses. Then they discuss AI, how corporate leadership is going to fuck workers over completely using AI, and how AI is currently just a bunch of bullshit being used as an excuse to take our jobs and pay us less.

The Cyber truck is like the Pontiac Aztec’s special ed electrically charged cousin.

It’s going to be like that Star Trek episode where they find Voyager and it’s evolved and achieved sentience.

Vizio also probably has the best budget soundbars.

It’s too bad that now that they’re a Walmart subsidiary I’m fully expecting a quality dropoff, I’m not sure if that will be true, just that seems to be how it goes after mergers and acquisitions.

But hey we tried giving a shit load of money to a billionaire space nazi instead!

After reading a bit deeper about this station and this antenna in particular, i have to wonder if this isn’t an attempt at insurance fraud, and why I say that is that this station has been trying to repair that radio tower over the years and have had an issue with the tower going dark repeatedly, maybe they figured they could make more money off the insurance claim, or enough to replace it, and through all of the fundraising and exposure it looks like that’s just what’s going to happen.

Good luck with it, hope things get better for you soon.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, we definitely need better mental health services, especially for autistic folks, my son is autistic as well and it’s been hard finding support for him. I hope the next therapist does a better job, or that the situation changes and you can get more resources, either way don’t let the haters get you down, stay strong.

Bro love your pop divas and live your truth, fuck the haters.

My stepdad has been a pop music fan all his life, loves Tay Tay and all of the others, and I’ve never thought any less of him, he’s quite literally my best parent and friend by a wide margin. I’m also saying this as a person heavy into metal and rap, because we can all like what we enjoy without begrudging one another for it.

The best thing you can do is try and find a new therapist that you’re comfortable with, once you find that partnership, if you find it, you’ll feel better about yourself as hopefully that therapy partner will help make you feel better about yourself, like any good therapist should be working towards doing.

Isn’t the point that you’re not supposed to be able to tell?

It’s really just “we need people so that our real estate investments don’t tank”, I’m rooting for their shit to tank, fuck the rich.

It’s never enough.

They’ll just do something similar to what Musk did on Shitter initially, pretend to kick them off and then quietly let them back on.

Needless to say, just like if r/conservative/conspiracy bans you you’re probably doing something Right, X is just the new, louder, conservative/conspiracy echo chamber, although i still don’t get why everyone senseable hasn’t abandoned the platform yet.

“We really just want the slaves and serfs back”

Then work the shaft

The Hyperloop scam to kill high speed rail implementation:

He and DeSantis are already buddy buddy, DeSantis always seems to make sure to protect Musk’s interests whenever there’s some law change that effects Tesla/SpaceX.
