Could you share what happened to you and your support group members? Just curious! If you don’t want to, no worries.

I would say, “succumbed to the conflagration” or “took part in the conflagration.”

But really, a conflagration is usually a much bigger fire that destroys entire buildings or cities.

I think the better term would be self-immolation.

Yeah, no kidding.

There are those special weekends though where you think it’s 4pm and the clock only says 11am.

I find that getting up early, no matter how tired I am (and even if it means I need to nap later) makes weekends feel significantly longer.

To each their own. Just be sure it’s making you happy.

I work to live, but I don’t live to work.

Life is short and I thoroughly enjoy playing a video game without a care in the world. With a kid and a house, I have plenty on my plate. I don’t go out of my way looking for extra work. If the opportunity arises for me to “waste time” I take it and enjoy it without guilt.

Last night I got to play Lethal Company with two of my friends. Most fun I’ve had in months. No regrets.

Split screen games have second person camera angles! You’re able to see through the eyes of someone interacting with you but you aren’t actually playing from their perspective.

It’s first person view for them but second for you.

Colleges definitely have counseling staff and I don’t think it’s far-fetched that you could be referred to one.

I mean, this post is definitely fake but that’s not why.

One big difference I think.

Nazi Germany lost in outright combat against an enemy they had always said they could beat. They were decimated and many of their sycophants were killed in battle.

Unless Trump and his followers start an actual armed rebellion and get put down, I don’t see how they end up ashamed.

Beating Trump in court, while it needs to be done, allows all of his followers to keep saying, “See? We told you the deep state was out to get him.”

The United Nations military makes their final push to destroy the Indo-Soviet Federation’s last stronghold on Mars.

As UN autonomous airships enter orbit, bay doors slide open to release thousands of cargo containers bearing a single warning sign:

SELF-REPLICATING DEVICE.

I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s not a super common occurrence.

And even if it is, locking down the entire internet and monitoring people in an Orwellian fashion isn’t the government’s job.

What happened back in the day when kids walked in on their parents doing the deed? What did the parents do when their child snuck a passage of Shakespeare and read all the filthy jokes he wrote?

Oh, they spoke to the kids and guided them through a normal part of life?

I have a son. I would like for him to not see graphic images on the Internet. But when he does, I will explain to him that human beings have sex (which is why he exists). I will tell him that sometimes people like to watch videos about it because it feels good to them. I will explain to him that it’s fake, just like the action movies and violence he sees on TV. I will tell him it’s nothing like that in reality and I will explain to him that he’s not ready to see that material yet.

Fascists always gain control by offering “safety.” Ironically, they’re more dangerous than the thing they claim to protect you from.

Yeah, making a government list of porn watchers with their watch history available is 100% going to be abused. It will not turn out well.
