That's fair, but we're actively living the consequences of not voting for harm reduction when we had the chance in 2024. I'm so fucking sick of this. We can't afford to ignore history or reality anymore.
Okay, so what will they have left? What international flight ports are located in predominantly red areas?
It doesn't come off as annoying, but it certainly does detract from any credibility you are trying to have.
If what you are saying is correct, losing an imaginary, anonymous popularity contest doesn't seem like a good enough reason to keep quiet.
Oh shit, today I learned I'm a guy. Neat!
Helpful outlets don't just fall in your lap, though. You have to do the work of trying things and see what sticks. You can start with small, achievable distractions if that makes it easier, too. For me, it's taking a super hot shower and singing along loudly with music blaring. It's just a short amount of time, but it stops my brain from going down a bad road sometimes when I can tell I'm about to have a rough time.
You are not a passenger in your own life, and you are going to have to start actively making changes if you want things to improve for you. It's not going to just randomly happen to you.
The worst thing you can do when people are working hard to get a reaction out of you is to give them one. That doesn't mean you have to be a doormat, but as others have said, there are more constructive ways to react to these kinds of workplace issues. By lashing out you're only hurting your own credibility in this situation.
You keep repeating the same defenses of the behavior you say you're trying to stop, though, so I am not quite convinced you want to change these things. It seems more like you want to change how people react to your behavior. If I am wrong, then I apologize and sincerely suggest dialectical behavioral therapy. It teaches you how to manage intense emotions in the moment.
It's important to recognize that many people don't have convenient access to anything other than processed garbage. It's great you had the ability to completely shift your dietary norms, but people living in food deserts don't have the same opportunities you do. People's dietary limitations are often shaped by experience, access, and affordability.
Part of that is dragging idiots who fell for the propaganda and didn't vote, so they do better next time. It's a multi-faceted issue.
Be the change you want to see in the world! I believe in you!
I think the fact that they were sitting presidents is what gave them the most legitimacy. Fighting against racism usually means engaging in various ways with racists, so I simply disagree.
And likely a treasure trove of memories that both celebrate their cat and symbolize their relationship once they deal with the worst of their grief and can enjoy the positive feelings again.
