Jeez you made me think about how much fucked up shit I've been through.

  1. Publicized school shootings on TV 90s
  2. Watching the second plane crash on live TV on 9/11
  3. Medical trauma 1: had testicular torsion ,went in 12 hours after it started, they tried to untwist it by hand while I was conscious, morphine ain't shit
  4. Medical trauma 2: spontaneous pneumothorax, the ketamine they dosed me with didn't work so that chest tube insertion fucked me up
  5. PMTSD related anxiety and depression
  6. 2 more pneumothorax
  7. 2008 financial crisis
  8. college went well, but first job out of college after I got my computer engineering degree payed a fucking grand total of $51k.
  9. 2016 election
  10. Hit 250lbs
  11. 2019 my highschool sweetheart wife cheated on me
  12. COVID-19
  13. Hit 280 lbs
  14. Jan 6 insurrection
  15. Stagflation
  16. Lost 70lbs because of cutting back on food spending and weightloss medication
  17. discovered my wife sexting the guy she cheated on me with after being in marriage therapy for 4 years
  18. hit 250lbs again

Jesus christ, is this resilience, or are we all so burnt out that we just accept everything getting worse always.

Like I get the joke in Russia is "and then it got worse." But Jesus christ, it can't get worse if it's always bad can it?

Not trying to dismiss your sufferings but I still think our generation had it way better than our grandparents, and probably better than 90% of the people in the world if you live in an advanced economy. For instance my grandfather went through the bloodiest war in human history, a bloody civil war, and a famine that killed millions of people. The problem right now is getting all the negative information that you have no control over from the internet, that's why I stay away from tuning into any news these days.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
