RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Just know that your feelings are valid. Even though it feels like the world is against you right now, there are people who see you and care, even when it might not seem like it. Please don’t give up on yourself — you’re worth more than the struggles you're enduring right now. You deserve better, and I truly hope that brighter days come your way soon.

It's interesting because if you look at life in general, not your personal life with personal feelings, beliefs and environment - we all want the same.

On a political perspective: do you think that I or anyone else from europe wants war with any other country? I have many russian friends, I have many american friends. I wonder what a large scale war will look like but with this connected world it might not go as back 100 years ago.

Humans are crual. Humans invade others personal safe spaces for the personal benfit. We can go on a different scale of this. How do you think indonesian fishing tribes (Bajau for example) that live off of fish being invaded by own indonesian industries fishing everything away for profit? How is it for Indigenous people in the amazonas dealing with fires by brazil and other countries for own profits and more farm land?

Humans are disgusting but from a different perspective most humans aren't evil and are puppets from sad individuals. This is what makes life actually bad imho. If nobody would listen to some old putin, old trump and other old wannabe individuals (Xi, Kim,...) we'd be better off. Honestly, throw them in a friggin' pit and let them fight.

I am not russian and I don't hate russians. I don't want war with russia, I don't want war with china, I don't want war with USA or anyone because all countries have great people but all countries have horrible leaders.

I don't have any advice, but respect for s a well-written rant. It all makes sense to me. I'd just say, it does end, but the end is worse than the journey. Have an e-hug from a stranger in the northern hemisphere.
