If I had to guess, it plays out like this.

  • Refugees are taken in.
  • The host country does the bare minimum to support them.
  • Poverty ensues and petty crime amongst a small subset of people in the poverty stricken refugee camps start.
  • Western media blows it out of proportion.
  • Now here we are acting like it’s a huge problem.

Don’t take that as fact, it’s just my vibes based analysis based on how we normally see rich western countries demonize immigrants in general.

Same people who think maynglos were the best thing to happen to the native Americans.

Live by the fart, die by the fart. That’s what I always say.

I meant for critical support for cancer I. This instance, definitely uncritical support for Joe Biden suffering tho.

Critical support?

GenX in general doesn’t get enough hate imo.

Right? I guess I should be thankful I work an email job. Instead of backbreaking labor til I die, it’s soul crushing corporate ass kissing.

No problem! Always eager to share some stuff I’ve learned from my decades of coping without understanding, lol. Now I have the context I needed and it’s still a struggle.

Another thing I will say is if you have a partner and you haven’t already done so, read them in on it. My wife and I have helped each other immensely when it comes to keeping these types of behaviors in check.

Good luck, comrade!

I definitely experience this. It's like decision paralysis except with anticipation.

One thing that has helped me is working backwards from the time I know I have to be somewhere. Doing this allows my to game out how much time I actually need to get ready and get there, once I understand that timeline, it makes it way more clear how much time I really have.

It doesn't always work because I still struggle with the time management a little, but it does more often than not relieve some of the anxiety I feel during the lead up.

However, no matter what I do, I always end up arriving to the obligation way earlier than I need to, lol.
