People aren’t going to like this opinion but I’ll start by saying I think Vance is a crap Senator and a simp for billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel, that being said, this cartoon reminds me of one of Ben Garrison’s crappy cartoons.

Of course he did, one thing that actual bullies don’t like is when someone stands up to them. First they cry foul and then complain until they realize no one is listening, hopefully after that, they lose their power.

The Republican media arm (Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc.) and by proxy, the Republican Party, have been bullies my entire life. Forgive me that I don’t care that the Democrats are finally standing up to them.

What about blaming the Republicans in congress, like yourself, who refused to vote on the Democrats boarder control policy this year because it would’ve “given the Democrats a win”? What about actually trying to fix problems rather than perpetuate them just to try and get elected? Seems like weird behavior to me.

I guess it was a junk bond.

Trump, undoubtedly aware of the plan’s growing unpopularity, has claimed, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and that “some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

How does he know things in it are abysmal if he has no knowledge of it?

As someone who grew up in WV, he ran as a democrat but he’ll always be just another Coal Baron, just like the current governor Jim Justice.

Yes it would’ve been clearer but that’s not what he said, he almost lost her to the poison that IS coming over the border (emphasis is mine). That is a lie.

I’m in the south of France, and people from France, England, Dubai, Serbia, Canada and Colombia have come up to tell me they can’t believe what is happening in America… They want Trump.

Fuck this guy with every square foot of housing he is hoarding.

Conversely, Miller notes that some technically ultraprocessed foods, like liquid egg whites, raisins and unsweetened raisins are actually quite "good for you," so it's challenging to generalize too much.

So they’re bad, but not all of them are bad and don’t generalize too much.

Coke at McDonald’s tastes worse IMO. I don’t mind it out of a can but the only good Coke out there is the Mexican Coke in a glass bottle where they still use real cane sugar.

What makes you happy besides being inside? What nerdy things specifically? I like history, I would dig into all types of history stuff and eventually started going to a small local history group, that group introduced me to a degree program for historic building preservation, and that’s now how I makes a living, fixing and preserving historic buildings.

I’m not saying you need to change who you are or find a group of strangers. I’m just saying, focus on what makes you happy, the things that get you excited and try to use those as possible outlets. You’d be surprised how many people just like you are out there, I was one of those people. The thing is, you don’t hear about them because most of them are happy in their self made isolation, that’s ok too.

The difference is that you said you haven’t been happy in a decade. So are you really happy in your room or are you just comfortable there? If you’re not happy but comfortable, you might need to get uncomfortable to find that happiness because it sounds like your current solace in your room isn’t bringing any of it. It’s up to you though, I don’t want you to change, just find what makes you happy and put your energy towards that. If that seems like an impossible task then it’s very possible you’re depressed and you may need to seek some help that’s above the pay grade of most of us here on Lemmy.

I am not a psychologist, these are just my experiences and opinions. I really hope they can help though or I wouldn’t have spent the time typing it out.
