That it's stupid getting more deeply depressed/suicidal than I have been in half a decade over the government raising my already (barely) possible to pay bills by 100 ish a month soon. basically forever now. The car will be the first thing to go. :( No were else to get it this health from. Screwing most all my future plans (need a vehicle) Back to being a hermit soon. But that's not really anything new. Just new-ish.

Getting ready to get out of here in a few minutes.

I love my family both biological and chosen. Since my accident, despite all the craziness and instability, my family has never turned against me. Even rescuing me from my kidnapper. We may not be The Brady Bunch but we try to be there for each other even if we disagree, argue, fight, or move to the other side of the planet. We always work together when the going gets tough and welcome new members, even if we don't agree with their philosophy. I really love my family.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die

It's a really hard balance to strike and very few ever agree on were that should be. Places like FB I think are too sanitized (and also really don't even want to be places for any real discussion) The old DCC (and the old YouTube) were way to far to the 'anything goes' side. Thus...in that scenario the scum rises to the top. Reddit and the like I usually just lurk on but the are some really in the middle, but can quickly go south into the bad territory. DGN is , intentionally leaning toward the safer side, but we should be able to make unpopular options and not get attacked for it. The hard part comes when an opinion is so offensive that it triggers a series of even more offensive statements, which can mean the 'just an opinion' is more than that, pragmaticly. (Hasn't happened here in a long time) Or a long, long history of always being semi rude, but not actually directly attacking anyone, it gets tangled. But we try. The social observations about the makeup of the internet were interesting.... Typing this on my phone so I have to stop before my fingers fall off. Lol

Thanks. The safe space thing is why I only post on reddit once in awhile with throwaways, and don't have a dedicated account there anymore. My opinions were not well received.
