  • This smells like the second amendment argument about defending against a tyrannical government. Please, take inventory of materiel and finances before you go down that road.

    I would argue there's another deep hypocrisy lying with people who insist such figureheads should be killed, but the only action they take is blathering about it on public forums.

    Be the change you seek, go set an example if you think you know what's right.

    But pitting us against the ruling class in this way isn't going to be a winning proposition. The best you'll get is a massive and severe security clampdown.

  • When, if ever, would you call for law enforcement?

  • Some music gear got stolen from my van parked in my driveway.

    I called the cops the next day, they came over and took a report and told me nothing ever gets recovered.

    Then I called around the music shops to report serial numbers and stuff. Within a day I got most of my equipment back, especially the expensive parts.

    But the cop who took my report for some reason was tasked with doing the recovery from the second hand store, and he was really mad about it.

    That was about 12 years ago, and since then I have come to the conclusion that I would only deploy police in conditions where I would be willing to deploy lethal force which is almost never, and ideally probably never.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

  • And that answers OPs question.

  • I think most of who you're hearing are Americans. I might hate Putin with all my heart, but he leads a different country. There isn't "chain of command" between me and him.

    Edit/more blathering:

    I try to avoid the virulent speech (not always successfully I admit) about Americans' choice in leadership. And to a large degree, at home, even that is outside my "sphere of influence", but I at least have an opportunity to be heard by other parts of the electorate here.

    And by the way, I think supporting Trump is supporting Putin. I hope I'm wrong, but I do believe that.

    We can piss and moan about Putin (and we do, I'm not sure what you're missing TBH), but investing time and emotional energy, it makes sense to start at home, where we at least should have some influence on self-determination.

  • In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?

  • Every minute is a death and a rebirth.

  • What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end?

    Jump

  • You play the hand you have.

    Depending on your personal attachment to that car, your personal interest in a different car, your financial capacity, the ability to extend your lease is just another card you can play.

    What is a "good deal" anyway? What are you seeking? Something pragmatic like equivalent reliability to your current car but for equal or less cost of ownership?

  • What's the most "this isn't what it looks like" type of situation you've ever been in?

  • This is small potatoes but pretty often I ride my motorcycle to go to green spaces to go for a run. Which means people sometimes see me step off my bike and just start taking off my pants and stuff. (Spoiler: I'm wearing running gear underneath my protective gear.)

  • How do you battle depression by your own?

    Jump

  • Once a day, think of one simple thing that a depressed person would not do. Do that. For some examples:

    • Take even the shortest walk around the neighborhood.
    • Read just ten pages of any book.

    Also, think of something that you do especially when depressed, and avoid doing it. For some examples:

    • Don't watch TV
    • Don't scroll on social media

    Sometimes habits become compulsive, you can do a lot for yourself by adding even a small amount of friction to doing those things. For some examples:

    • When I notice that I go through periods of poor sleep due to habitually reaching for my phone, I might remove the charger from my phone and put it in a living area and charge it there at night. I might prepare 8 hours of podcasts and connect my Bluetooth before bed so I can have something to take my mind off things in case wake up or cannot sleep.
    • Simply logout of social media sites, so that I'm forced to take a deliberate action to log back in to start doom scrolling again.

    For more proactive maintenance things I try to do, which are important to establish when I'm mentally in a good place, I might make a weekly list of happy chores, like make sure I talk to a family member, make sure I talk to a friend, make sure I actually see someone in person, or play a video game in a way that I'm making progress at it, or spend 10 minutes practicing an instrument.

    You need to exploit your good times to establish patterns of good habits for your hard times.

    We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.

    Things are contextual. "Does sit to pee" does not equate "always sits to pee".

  • I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I'm also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
