I’m glad to hear you’re alright, then.

Yeah he’s just asking for advice.

i used to struggle with this too, op.

the only reason i don’t struggle with it anymore is because i ran out of sufficient energy to struggle.

however, that was not what resolved it–not directly.

no longer agonizing over my conversations had other effects.

i decided that if all i can be is background noise, then i shall be background noise. and that … loosened my hesitation. i physically lost the ability to attach any kind of ulterior motive or emotional baggage to what i wanted to say, and so, my messaging became more open and honest as a result, in a way i never had the choice to implement at will. it took breaking down to no longer proverbially have a wall there.

and then, at another point after this had metaphorically cleaned my slate, i decided to start over by embodying what i felt was missing. i would be the warmth that no one was showing. i would greet, and encourage, and ask nonbinary question–but i don’t think this would have worked if i had not first shattered my own guard and begun engaging my social interactions with totally exposed vulnerability.

Aliens are not attacking.

The drones have hurt no one.

They are merely paying more attention now.

Perhaps if society kills more CEOs, they will finally consider us sapient and establish contact.

reminds me of dual power

NO! Warrior EMPEROR! of the galactic empire! (very space opera!)

Oh yes! Talk to him about MULTILEVEL MARKETING! Hell, OP might even be able to sell him garbage and make some money on the side if he’s stupid and desperate enough!!!

Sure! All they have to do is just kill ONE billionaire!

someone should endeavor to make The Most Political Game In The World by simply having no white male characters in it at all.

barbara streissand has taught them nothing apparently

real salt of the earth.

This behavior on the part of the authorities sure as fuck won’t make it less likely that SOMEBODY will want to exterminate the billionaire filth

The only reason this is news is because when it happens in America it’s too common to be considered novel

i get up so early people call it “late” and go to bed in the afternoon.

If only he’d fucking stay down.

Let’s not warn or threaten, actually; it spoils the element of surprise.

Ideally, the enemy should never see it coming.
