Dammit, Blueballs! If you’re going to decide to stay, get with the Bire Lore.

Nintex is the Trump ball washer on this thread. You need to make sure your targets are accurate.

You know? Play it tactical!

You can tell it's not going well because even Nintex has lost his mojo with the Trump posting. 

A Trump forum this is not.

I mean, this is a contrarian haven, that’s why we can came across this.

I mean, potato give bootsthecat a cookie for being 'honest' even if he dislikes Trump.

You want a cookie?

The shit that's going is fucking scary. Every day, it becomes clearer and clearer that the country is essentially lost.

We're in a stupid tariff war we can't win, thousands of people are getting laid off, prices are rising, safety nets are being cut, people are being kidnapped, and now they're talking about disappearing American citizens. Not to mention Trump's desire to annex Canada and bomb Mexico, which would absolutely cause violence to spill over.

I feel like a crazy person because we hear and see all of these terrible things happening, and then you go outside and, at least for myself (fortunately), not much has changed (yet).
But I know it's coming. It's that same sinking feeling I had when those early COVID reports from China started coming in.

So anyway, call me crazy, but I've started looking into doing the following:

1. Arming myself
I've never owned a gun and have only fired one a few times. Most of my life, I've been against guns, but I've accepted that they're not going away, and at this point, I'd rather have one and never need it than need one and not have it. Besides, I live in Texas, I'm probably never more than 20 feet from a firearm anyway.

2. Moving away from big cities
I've considered moving to another country, but realistically, that's not practical for me. Mexico is probably the only place I could easily immigrate to, but if things start to go sideways there, I doubt it would be a safe place for Americans. So I've been thinking about buying land in a more remote area, somewhere I can retreat to if things get bad. Worst case scenario maybe I just have a neat place to camp? I dunno.

3. Acquiring supplies and skills
Nothing extreme—just slowly building up a collection of tools and learning basic skills. I've made a conscious effort to fix things around the house and car myself rather than paying someone, partly to save money, but mostly to learn how to do it.

I try to justify these ideas with more practical reasons so I don't feel like a complete loon. anyone else got a plan in case things go down?

Great forum for weak-willed people, bdumbs

I think is hidden, not nuked.

That doom thread has a bunch of people telling them to join mutual aid organizations and volunteer in their area. Don't these idiots know that most people don't live in giant cities with "mutual aid" groups. Instead of just telling people to do that, how about they actually show them where these magical groups are? Because I don't think googling "mutual aid in my area" is going to help most people.

[Boredfrom]

Trump is scum of the earth for even suggesting sending citizens to El Salvador, but the wrongly deported father case is not going to be the thing triggering a constitutional crisis. Is infuriating as hell, but there is a logical reason why your Supreme Court say “facilitate”.

Holy fuck, that doom thread.

User banned (permanent): Extremely inappropriate commentary. Multiple prior bans for inflammatory behavior.

Aside from being a thread derail, there's just a lot of intellectual dishonesty happening here.

Go off on Nintendo all you want. This forum (and all remaining Internet forums) are full of grown-ass adults capable of sustaining the great blow of a video game company being criticized, but if you expect people to take your arguments seriously, you'll need to be more credible than this. And that might start with not twisting a quote, or assigning blame to a Japanese company for the whims of America's fascist president.

You're not being "shouted down". You're just not very convincing.

You all need to get out of your own bubbles. I don't think you have any idea of the real world other than your echo chambers. I'm not twisting any quote. What Doug Bowser said very much echoed the Xbone era, and yes the way I said it was a bit tongue in cheek, but I don't think I need to spell it out. I don't think you know what fascism is, by the way. It must have a different definition on Era compared to the Oxford English Dictionary. I am not going to miss this forum one iota. The reality is that the world isn't as black and white as you think it is.

Valentine's Day thread:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/

I can just not get over knowing how it feels to not be alone, to have someone understand you, and that being gone and over now in my life, even if it's been years and I don't care about the particular person anymore.

At first I was somewhat glad that I slowly transitioned from grief, rare panic attacks, and thinking that I wanna die daily (gonna be honest here - if it weren't for my cats who I feel I have to care for, I'd give it 50/50 towards me still being here after back then) to just a general feeling of being numb towards it all.

But days like today just remind me that it feels like I haven't felt a truly positive emotion in years. I still work. I take care of my pets. My flat isn't a terrible mess. I even visit family. I distract myself with games or shows or other things that I can still appreciate on whether they're well done or not, though, fun? Not sure about that one. At least I managed to talk again to people via things like Dnd. That's the closest thing I can think of when it comes to positives.

But there's something fundamentally wrong to my everyday, it feels like, without a partner, that any other company can't fix.

Anyway I'll probably regret writing this stupid shit later, there's a lot worse problems to have, but I appreciate that I can post this right now.

You summed up a large portion of why I'm in a terrible mood today, OP. It's not helped that most of January, someone had matched with me on a dating site, was the first to contact me, & after three weeks of talking online, we had a lunch date that lasted three hours & it felt like it went super well....only for her to ghost me afterwards to the point she hasn't even logged back onto the dating site, so I've been having to battle this nagging "what did I do wrong?" feeling, making me feel worse about myself.

Not helped my work day is going to be half spent in a cold room with no windows by myself.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/#post-135810318

I'm just going to drug myself to sleep early or something.

As for Valentines, it's not the nicest day for single pringles like us. But there are some bright spots to look to, for instance a fuck ton of Valentines chocolate is going on steep discount tomorrow morning and I'm going bargain shopping!

Honestly 2/14 doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Basically in high school over a decade ago at this point, asked this girl I liked out on Valentines Day, got rejected, and just proceeded to not seriously pursue any romantic interests since in lieu of just focusing on college, my hobbies, and getting a job and whatnot. Nowadays though, I've just sort of accepted that I'll probably never find anyone unless I make some serious changes to myself and personal habits first and foremost. It's hard enough for me to find the motivation to stay awake throughout the day, take care of my health, eat, and get out of my room, let alone leave the house and meet new people (It doesn't help that I'm also really shy around strangers). It's not quite as debilitating as it was a few years ago, but it still feels like I'm stuck in this rut that's impossible to get out of. Outside of hanging out with my friends once a week to watch movies/anime and build model kits, I barely interact with anyone, and that crippling loneliness has really begun to get to me over the past year or so. But as for V-day as a whole? I've just become numb to it and don't care anymore since true affection has become such a foreign concept to me.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/#post-135825039

Kinda know how you feel OP, but I've never had a partner. Sleep deprivation and loneliness was terrible for me this week. Fortunately its the weekend now so I can just chill and keep myself distracted.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/#post-135827112

I have never been in a romantic relationship and it sometimes depresses me a lot, but Valentine's doesn't really feel like anything special. I tried Tinder last month, but not really having much luck there - one match that fizzled out when messaging and two matches that didn't respond so far, and I already exhausted the users in my geographical and age range in my city.

I don't know if real life venues are going to ever do it to me either. I was quite active in student activities and went to parties and events in high school and university, but nothing else but regular friendship with women ever took place, so I am pretty suspicious of the "just go out and be more social" advice in this matter. That being said I am more of a hermit now in my 30s than I was in my teens and 20s. Maybe I've just had bad luck to never run into anyone who would be into me for decades, but being on spectrum probably doesn't make it easier either. I got zero idea how I even could tell that someone would be interested in me and no woman has ever said so directly. In all honesty I also do worry I just might not be a good and appealing partner, it probably would take a lot of patience from a woman to put up a man in his mid-thirties who would have to learn everything about dating and intimacy from zero experience to begin with, and I'm not sure if I have enough going on for me to be seen as worthy of that much effort.

Oh well, at least there are video games and other escapism for distractions.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/#post-135843285

I have similar feelings about it. I'm often desperately lonely, and have had few relationships so most Valentines Day are spent alone.

It doesn't help that it's my birthday too, so it's a mixture of being depressed about getting older and being depressed about being alone.

So I can understand where you're coming from.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/struggling-with-loneliness-on-days-like-today.1109835/page-2#post-138063855

I... don't think there is, besides the passage of time feeling like it scrapes away more of my sanity.

As for a doctor... logically, I know I should talk to one. I haven't had a happy day in over two years. It just feels impossible to muster the energy for it. Part of it is that my sleep is entirely compromised and I'm usually awake at nights and asleep during the day, but the bigger part is that emotionally... I don't really have hope of a doctor being able to help with this. I know that logically I should still go. It's just hard to actually implement.

Was feeling really good and hopeful about a new therapist/therapy place. I waited three weeks for this appointment after doing hours of assessments and work to make sure I was qualified for the appointment. I went this morning, and they wanted to charge me the full rate despite having no income, no insurance whatsoever. After realizing their mistake, they proceeded to put me on the sliding scale for a third the original amount. The problem is, they already knew all this ahead of time, and proceeded to jerk me around regardless. I said fuck it and left, forgoing my appointment with my new therapist. Irony is I went to this appointment and searched for therapy to get help for my bipolar, BPD, and autism, and ended up feeling worse than before. I had hope for some help, but it was once again fleeting. It's nothing but a sick joke whomever is playing to make me feel like I had something good to look forward to, but nope, it was shit.

There is no help in this country (the United States) for people like me. There are only constant roadblocks and hoops to jump through, and that was before this Nazi administration took over. It's only going to get worse than it already is, apparently. There is no hope for me. I've fought for decades now against my mental health. I am tired. I am exhausted and the people who supported me are exhausted to. I'm tired of being a burden to everyone, and I'm tired of fighting for some semblance of happiness only for it to quickly go away and I wind up back where I was in a deep depression, burning bridges, and having suicidal ideation.

I have no job, no income, I am burden to those I live with, and I am better off dead.

Something something standards of beauty something something not surprised there's a lot of white and Asian women in this thread something something we need a white man to post some black women but since most white men only see black women in superhero movies here's some examples they may recognize something something Bengraven loves black women but someone on the other site will likely say he's virtue signaling for this post something something I had some great sourdough bread with eggs this morning and they were tasty

186 post in and 99.5% of everything posted is white people.

"Best anyone has looked"
*opens thread to almost nothing but white people*

I said that like a page ago and people are ignoring me and posting more white people.

Goes to show how deeply standards of beauty are. I'm not perfect myself but fuck...even on a "liberal, multi-cultural" forum like the reset era forum dot com.

Aren’t you married?

Bengraven had a tag on in neogaf that said something like "Will sleep with black prostitutes for equality" or something like that because even back then he was virtue signaling in some thread about a news story involving a black prostitute about how not enough people were posting horny jokes and how it would be different if the prostitute was white

Sorry but I'm tired of people expressing bubble shock at the events unfolding, people who were content to continue letting the victims of America suffer and rot under a deluge of ignorance and passive commitment to capitalism because it was easier and more comfortable for them.

I remember how the "kids in cages" were forgotten once Biden was elected. I remember how people idly shrugged at him saying we must fund the police in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests. I remember constantly how people can't just be assed to include the Indigenous within their political purview at all, especially if it butts against their enjoyment of a fucking sci-fi film. I remember what was done to me in the aftermath of Gaza finally becoming a national story and how people just continue casually ignoring the horrors that occurred there under the last administration because it is inconvenient to the culture war narrative.

The anger, hopelessness, and these embarrassing nationalistic platitudes of this so-called Shining City on a Hill being torn apart by random bad actors speaks to the level of unconsciousness we are ultimately working with, an unconsciousness that ensures even well-meaning Americans will never actually do anything of worth to take back and express their political power in the ways needed within the Imperial Core.

Democrats are useless and will not hold anybody accountable.

You want justice? It's going to require straight up vigilante style justice.

There is no more rule of law. No due process for republicans, especially for trump/his family and his admin, heritage foundation, etc. You have eradicate the MAGA disease. Simply cutting off the head is not going to be enough.

More reason if you are a leftist or part of any marginalized group, the best time arm yourself was months ago when trump won, the next best time is today.

eye for an eye then. that's what it is going to come down to moving forward. Justice will only be possible with direct action as there is no rule of law anymore.
