  • Seniors should have more experience, which equips them to comfortably dive into fires and stay cool under pressure. The value is the “seen this, been there, fixed that” factor.

    You get that hard when there is no one else coming to save you. The systems need to be up, the company is losing a million dollars a minute, and everyone is turning to you to formulate the strategy to fix it.




  • Stop thinking it’s anything you or the community did, for starters. Fascists need an enemy, someone to punch down on and bond their group around shared hatred of those that are different.

    That’s what’s at play here, to be in the crowd you have to hate, and a lot of people want to be in the crowd because of the price of eggs or whatever.

    Oppressing minorities then becomes an easy win for their group, with something as dumb as an “official gender policy” being a major day one initiative.

    It used to just be gay identifying people in general, but I think too many of their friends and family came out previously, making that a difficult collective to rally around. And other minorities before this. I’m sorry your community have found yourselves as the scapegoats this time around.




  • I went through the worst depression of my life around 2017, tried to express these feelings to my gf at the time and explain why our romance was failing or why I spent half the day in bed.

    Basically got told “poor you”, everyone has struggles, snap out of it and be a man. That definitely helped, and didn’t push me even deeper into feelings of worthlessness…

    I’m doing ok now, but it was the first time I felt comfortable enough with someone to express those emotions, I was at my wits end. The response was eye opening, never again.
