Others have covered a lot, but one thing that have helped me through rough patches is to find something to do. If possible to occupy both body and mind, like exercise, yard work, hiking. Something positive with meaning in and of itself. Time is a friend of broken hearts, and making it pass quicker could just help.

I hope you find a way out and through, we all usually do as the survivors we are.

Got tricked into taking a whiff out of a barrel of ammonia as a kid. I do not recommend! It's not a stench, it's a sensation.

I love the Fallout universe and crafting in games, so with the amazing mod community I've wasted (?) nearly 6,000 hours on Fallout 4.

I know it's arguably the weakest of Fallout 1-4 and New Vegas, but it became a refuge for me to escape from the real world into.

The worst movie I ever saw in a cinema was a Milla Jovovic flick called Ultraviolet.

How bad was it, you ask. Well, I would have left the cinema but my girlfriend was sleeping soundly and I didn't want to disturb her. Honestly, people were just looking at each other after the movie was over, openly laughing and talking to strangers about how bad it was. You could say it was so bad that it brought people together over how awful it was, so that's nice.

Since I am a Swedish communist and know plenty of them, I feel it might fall on me to say that you are just being ignorant and judgmental. There has been a fair share of naivety in the ranks of the left wing parties in Sweden, but that was much more notable during the 1970's than it is today. I don't know any communist or socialist in Sweden that argues in such simplistic terms like "not USA is automatically good", that's just an insane claim to make. And while we're at it, most of the western world seem to agree that "not-Russia is automatically good" with all the head-in-the-sand shit the west is pulling over Ukraine. I believe you are touting prejudice against communists, like so many before you have done. It doesn't do anyone any good.

No one is trying to shame someone out of finding a purpose, but the deafening propaganda machine has pumped us so full of denial that we need to make these simple points. I think things like this was taken as self evident 50 or so years ago, but today we have to fight to keep our sanity and hold on to what little dignity and hope we have left.

I assume those that just try to make jokes about this doesn't have kids of their own or try to cover their own pain with sarcasm. The message is important and some people really need to hear it to save themselves from a lot of pain.

I have just shy of 3,500 hours played on Cities Skylines, but I couldn't keep up with the torrent of DLC's which made me stop playing it. When they started selling things as DLC's that moders hade previously released for free I just lost hope, but the modding community was a huge part of why I kept playing as long as I did, and I really hope they are allowed to be a part of it this time around too. Although I fear everything is being commercialized and monetized up the wazoo these days, I will probably have to give it a go eventually.

I'm sure history is full of people who all of a sudden was given rights because they were so darn polite, but I can't seem to recall... well, any!

Honestly, what the hell is this person on about, have they any knowledge at all about the civil rights movement?

I'm here as a father of a soon-to-be teenage trans girl. Even though no one in our family every questioned the reality of this journey, I feel the need to educate myself and learn from the stories that people kindly share in places like this.

I can also add that if anyone needs a kind word from a dad, I'm here for you.
